ran across a landscape crew ripping out the entire landscaping facing the street in an industrial area. scored these three chinese pistache logs/trunks. not very big, about 6 foot long and 10 inches across at best, but they did leave the crotches in place so maybe there's some additional blanks there. i'll be bandsawing it up into pieces and putting it in my new "kiln". it's a stainless blanket warming cabinet with a decent seal on the door, about the size of a large fridge. has a small amount of vent to the outside, gets about 125 degrees inside during the day right now, humid as hell in there with the load of olive blanks i put in. i figure 6 weeks of slow cooking and i should be in good shape on the olive.
