Everyone will be able to see it from SW10th Street in Deerfield, just before getting on the Sawgrass Expressway. You might want to think twice about carving that Oak. If it came from your area it is probably Live Oak which is very hard! Not a friendly carving wood - it burns quite nice in the fireplace! There is a alot of Camphor (sp?) in your area, ask around and you will find it along with some other species (i.e. Cypress or Sabal Palm). Also the Pine in your area isn't that great either, slash/sugar/yellow pine - yuck. [ Edited by: AlohaStation 2008-06-09 10:42 ]
