Gotta do the garage roof this year, so I ordered a red ripper to do the tearoff.
Never used one, wonder how they work? Used shingle shovels and home-made shingle shovels most of the time.
4 more packages from Morroco.
You have a connection in Morroco? Wood is on steroids cool! Chuck
Works about like a shingle shovel with the bonus of being able to get those nails that bend without changing where you stand. Ya just catch em on the pull stroke.
Straight from Morroco. Crazy. Box was all taped up but you could still smell it as soon as you got close.
A really nice lot of double-dyed & stabilized Russian Maple burls arrived today...now, what to make?
What makes them Russian? I know 'Russian olive' grows in Colorado.
The wood was purchased from a Russian vendor, and it's Maple, so I assume it's Russian Maple 
BTW, it took almost 4 months to get here.

Ok, I was wondering. I see Box elder burl is a common import to Russia. Wonder if that is it. Russia has lots of Birches and Fir trees, but don't recall any maples...The wood was purchased from a Russian vendor, and it's Maple, so I assume it's Russian Maple

A new saw deserves new blades. I ordered full kerf Freud blades because they are stiffer and won't require a stabilizer now that I have the power to run them. Blades at the big box stores are all thin kerf Diablo, cheaper but not what I wanted.
And since I'll be building a new outfeed table for the saw I picked up some real nice heavy duty adjustable feet and mounts. I want adjustment on the table to adjust for an uneven floor and to get the height just right.
I went the easy route and found everything on Amazon. I had a gift card from Christmas so that helped on the blades.

I liked the big pieces so much I ordered pen blanks. Probably here in 8-9 days
My editing skills suck.
!!!! I count that stack at 7 high by at least 15 wide. Let's see...seven times five, carry the three, that's something like 105 blanks. You making pens for the US Army or something? Nice burls tho.
For all his woodbarter friends that DON'T make fun of him being an old timer.
Dammit! My mother always said if I couldn't say something nice don't say nothing at all.For all his woodbarter friends that DON'T make fun of him being an old timer.

Not exactly wood related, but the wife’s Rubicon has a blown shock. Nothing like crawling under a vehicle on a holiday. Oh, new box for Hazel.......
