Turning projects in the making

[Dragon]

Okay, for all you turners out there, I've got a serious problem. I've got loads of Ambrosia Maple on the ground that I'm sure some of you could use. There is a catch here....you gotta come get it.:help: I need to get it off the ground before it starts to rot and clear my path into and out of my "lumberyard."

Lincoln is just a bit too far for me :wsad: but if anyone goes I would be interested in a few hunks of maple.:widea: I can trade for a few hunks of walnut, some gum, or a chunk of holly.:gar-Bi

 

[ScottM]

David, sure wish I could help you out but you are just too far.....

 

[Mike Davis]

I'm in the same boat, I cut a big Locust tree for firewood and now I think it is too nice to burn. I have 6 short logs in the woods that I need to drag out by hand and cut into blanks.

I'd like to have some maple but there just aren't enough hours in the day.

 

[Robert Arrowood]

We may work something out here.I would like to get the wet sharpener that AndyBarnheart offered up yesterday.If anyone is traveling from Cary to Lincolton or from there to here.I can get some of the maple to my place.I'm around 12 to 15mi. from David:icon_scra.I would be glad to pick some of it up.



P.S.David I pmed you my number last week give me a call.

Hmm.. Very Tempting. I will have to think about that. Your only about an hour from me.

 

[Dragon]

Well, it ain't goin' nowhere anytime soon. Right now I'm just cutting it up into managable lengths and storing it off to the side of my "lumberyard" for now. :icon_thum

 

[Dragon]

Ambrosia Maple on the ground and waiting for a good home.

 

[TracyP]

I would love to get some of this wood. PM me your address and maybe I can get there this Sunday.

 

[PChristy]

Tracy, I would like to get a couple chunks of this if you get down there

 

[TracyP]

Probably going this Sunday Phillip. I will pick up some extra for you.

Define 'manageable'. I have a 12' dump trailer I could come p/u some on if I could get close enough to load it - or bring a 4 wheeler to drag it outa the woods if I needed to. If it's less than 125# it could probably be hand loaded onto the trailer. I think I'm off New Year's Day..........

Managable is a relative term here. Whatever I can move around without busting a gut in the process. :tinysmile_tongue_t: I think most of it could be hand carried as it's in an area behind my house and not really accessible via conventional vehicle. 4 wheeler may work but the undergrowth of vines, small trees and briars is pretty intense. I usually load things up on my cart or tote/roll/drag it out.

 

[Robert Arrowood]
