I hit the jackpot today
« on: October 05, 2010, 07:00:26 pm »
My wife and I went on a drive today to look at the leaves, Fall is here in this part of the country. Anyway, I stopped by my lumber supplier to pick up some Walnut and Cherry, and Hal said, well Mark today is your lucky day, I was just getting ready to cut this scrap pile up for firewood. For free I got 7 boards of Mahogany about 3" to 4" wide and 2" thick and 12' long, and some hickory 4" to 5" wide and 2" thick and 2' to 3' feet long, and he had various pieces of Red oak and Walnut that were 2" to 3" wide and 1" to 2" thick and ranged from 1' long to 3' long. Am I happy... you bet, sometimes timing is everything.

Well Greybeard, she did help load it, but I unloaded it, because I like to keep my wood together according to species, she just looked at the wood and said I like this one it is pretty, and this one is ok,  but that is the same type of wood honey,  well it doesn't look as nice as this one, but we had a wonderful day together. Thanks
