Default As promised - My Olive tree

Hi Moshe

Thanks for the pictures, yes I can imagine the first time you looked at
the log, and wondered if it would be any good, doesn't look like much
at first glance, but that is very often the case with the wood we use
from downed trees.
It sure does not make me feel any better though, not being able to
wrestle you for some of that wood, GG
I would love to turn some of that, but now you have that problem, just
don't try to hurry the drying of your roughouts, seal, bag and slow
down that process, so you end up with the best possible.
You have some real beautiful wood there Moshe, even the small stuff you
show, you should be able to turn some real fine miniatures from that,
just take care of the large wood first.
I could E-mail some pic's if you like for ideas, just send me your
E-mail address.
It will be a few days before I am able to do this as I am leaving
tomorrow morning on a trip and won't be back for a week or better.
Moshe you sure are lucky to live in such a beautiful wooded area, even
if the "greedy money grabbers" have done (and still are doing all over
the world) so much damage, nature is resilient and is able to bounce
back a lot, if given a chance.

Have fun and take care
