"I've been daydreaming about big logs all day. Here's Rattlesnake Jake slicing up some tasty Ficus logs for me. One's 7 ft, the other's 5 ft. Sprayed the fresh cuts with Polyurethane to seal them up & stashed 'em under the porch for now. More on these guy's later. I've got a few other projects planned first."

Daydreaming huh? I walked into a dream come true this past Tuesday as I visited my wood source... since the country club is closed for the season my arborist friend has been busy bringing down trees...

I pulled the car around the dirt hill that hides the wood dump from the golf course and my eyes fell upon 70 white and spruce pine logs... most in 30-40 foot lengths ranging from 3 foot diameter bases to 6 inch tops... and he said they have to bring down 20 more in the next two months!

I wish I had a truck to haul many of them away... though I haven't the space to store them. Many of the logs are going to someone's personal mill to become barn boards, some chunks to chainsaw carvers... I've started my own pile stored there with the feature piece being 2 1/2 feet in diameter and 9 feet long...

You might say I've got too much of a good thing going now...
