how much wood do you have/keep on hand measured in months or years
not board feet or tonnage
alright not even in cordage

was fishing through all my wood looking for just the right pieces
and realized i probably have a solid year's worth of wood for making
things

that is probably a low ball
but i have to make sure i always have wood for things

i have taken wood and made nice things that 95% of non-woodworkers
would throw out or use for firewood

it is fun to chuck up some god awful scrap into the lathe and see
what becomes of it

the relatives were practically fighting over a manzanita vase

i rescued it from a fire pit in the early hours
it was so hard it didn't smolder and turn to ash like everything
else had

it is the only burnt wood i have turned

i am not sure if they liked the stry behind the vase or the vase more
