Robert you must have some secret admirer somewhere. Free wood delivered 
Unfortunately that Cherry burl is no good, and will bring vast misfortune upon your shop. You must send it to me for proper disposal while you still can. I have the powers to deal with it, and render it into a harmless pile of dust.
Nice score, I see some box tops, or platters in the Cherry burl and the Oak should be good for anything else made of wood

Honestly Honey, that will cost around $100 $150 $200, and I need a few more tools.

WOW! Robert, what a score!
Somebody really likes you!
That burl looks like several hundred dollars worth. I can't wait to see what you make with it.

Nice Cat - good for snaking and mousing. We have strays around often - doesn;t help much that my daughter feeds them. But at least they leave full only to show up another day for another hand out .gif "Drogar Laugh(DBG)") | |

Nothing yet. I am still determining the best way to cut it up so I can get some to Tom and end up with the most usuable stock. Plus it is getting use to my shop air...yeah, that's it
