Did an outdoor, working show this weekend... kind of fun, but makes for a long
weekend and a lot more to pack & unpack..

The show was at a local sculptors studio and he played with my Jet mini a
little... then told me that before he started working with stone, he carver
ironwood..
We were taking a break and he walked me over to his "wood pile".. holy ****!
There much have been almost 1,000 pounds of ironwood in huge heap between 2 old
trucks..
When the show ended yesterday he asked if I had any extra room on the truck,
then told me to back it up to the pile..
He threw 2 pieces of ironwood burl that were each almost 3' long... FUN!!

As we were leaving, a painter was packing up and called me over.. said that she
had some wood in her car that I might have a use for, if not she was planning to
use it for firewood..
She had a box of myrtlewood rounds about 11" diameter that looked to be cut out
of 1 1/2" thick stock.. I think there are 9 of them...
Also a box of assorted pieces of myrtlewood and ironwood that will make about 30
or 40 pens...

Life is GOOD!

Oh.. I also sold 2 pieces, making it a very cool weekend..
