Flowers... I said fruit as in berries.
What free wood did you find today?

A local friend bought it all. I have more coming.
Saw this book cover on another outdoor site and thought some on here might be interested (and hopefully not part of the book topic).
I need to go and check again. I don't remember seeing any but I wasn't looking for them.
@Karl_TN did you ever snag this tree? If so, still interested in a trade?
@Eric Rorabaugh, I did snag the burls from this tree and have been letting it dry in my garage through the summer. Do you have a way to stabilize the burl if it’s needed, and what kind of trade did you have in mind for this hard to find burl?
I have the stiff to stabilize but not soing it yet. I have someone I can get to do it if needed. What's your thoughts on a trade
Would think on some level....the stiff would already be stabilized.....
@eric, I have no clue on a fair trade since I’m unable to find anything on the web about prices for sassafras eye burl like the ones that came off this tree. It seems to be an extremely rare burl so post an offer in the trade forum based on what you would be willing to pay for the wood. A turkey call with this stabilized burl would look really nice and would truly be one of a kind.
Not today, but a couple weeks ago I went on a hike and found a black cherry branch laid down. This little gem was sitting right in the middle of it and I couldn’t resist. Black cherry burl has been really hard for me to get my hand on for some reason, so I was especially glad I happened upon it. I’ll hopefully be turning it into some nice knife handles in the near future.
@Eric, I’m trying to get ready for two craft shows so I‘ll try to get some cut and measure moisture when I can find the time. There are some other WB members that asked for some a while back, but moderators that keep this forum going are my top priority so I want to go back through some old post to see how much I’m willing to give up.
What is the typical size blank for a turkey call blanks? Do you do any casting after stabilizing so I can avoid cutting up larger pieces that may be more valuable as butterflied veneers for box makers?
Pot call blanks are 4x4x1. I don't cast or stabilize at the moment.
My nephew had a Bradford Pear tree taken out today. I was able to snag 3 logs from it. Not sure what I will make out of it yet. Chuck
It turns like buttah!!!
I used to have a blue T100... Sure do miss that truck...
