Moshe,

Thanks for the pictures and tour of your village.

That has got to be some of the nicest wood I have laid eyes on. I would
love to get my hands on what you have for turning some pens. You are very
lucky and I hope you make good use of the precious wood you have aquired.

Cheers,
Bob

A bit late but here are the pics I promised.
http://www.eshel.us/OliveTree/index.html

I apologize for the quality and the banners (not popups) over which I
have no control. I hope to make a better website one day soon.

What you see is the olive tree (before and after), the tools used (my
"truck" and saw), Some beautifull view from my village (which is
actauly located inside a huge Olive grove). and some more pics - all
from the process of taking down the tree.

I hope you enjoy, please ask anything - maybe give suggestions for
interesting projects (remember I have a small lathe :-( , but if
someone has a realy amazing idea, I might convince Eli Avisera to try
it...)

All the best from Israel
