Cammo, you're a nut! I'm really looking forward to meeting all of you folks, I've taken a little time (who am I kidding, a LOT of time!) to look through a few galleries of work here, and without question there is an IMMENSE talent base and some incredible creative minds (ok, line up and here's your cup to pee into, wash your hands afterwards please.).

Babalu, what a coincidence, you mentioned the tree trimmer source, and as I was taking my son to Michaels to get him a model to build, I ran into some tree guys, inquired a bit and came away with a few smaller cuts of Eucalyptus. They are freshly cut (2 days) and damned heavy for 20"-24" cuts. Any suggestions as to time to let them dry out and has anyone had any trouble using this type of wood?

Oh, and I didn't say thanks to you Babalu for the comment about the little guy in the helmet. He is 1 of 2 that I'll call "Salt n Peppa" because they are just that for my wife, she hates the plain glass shakers in the kitchen, here they are as of now.

And before I forget, what time is the chop figured to start and finish, so I know when to start the 130+ mile trek?
