I have a large piece of cherry that was intended to be fire wood but because of it's unique shape I decided to try to make a table from it instead of burning it. I scraped away all the dead outer wood and wire brushed it and sanded it and was satisfied with it. But... I left it sitting in the middle of a concrete slab beside my barn instead of moving it over to the side. Later that night I walked right into it in the dark rolling the skin up on my shin. After a brief pontification about the pain I went in the house to see the damage. I have 2 large spots with missing skin. One is still oozing. It took guaze and tape to cover it. This was Tuesday night. I don't have pictures but you wouldn't want to look at them anyway.
I guess the lesson I learned was to put things away when I'm though with them!
