Thanks for the comps. I'm really honored that they like my stuff.

Speaking of stuff, I made a major score this week while at work. A shopping center next to where I work is redoing their parking lot. They cut most of the old growth trees out. What I noticed is that nearly half of the trees were Florida Mahogany. I approached the tree trimmers (only one spoke a very little english). Thru a conversation of my limited spanish and hand signals - I managed to get them to help fill my truck. This pile is the result! This wood is a beautiful orange and heavy as hell. After unloading the largest log I realized that I could not move it by myself. The solution was to slice the log in half. I am willing to share some of the wood - PM me if you are interested.

If you are looking for wood in your area, tree trimmers are your best freind. I wasn't the only one, someone (another wood worker) had already beaten me to some of the other tree trunks. Don't feel like your crazy asking tree guys for stumps - its actually cheaper for them with no disposal cost.
