I get a woodie talking about incestuous baptists.

I spent my day digging out an apple tree. DAMN, that stuff is hard.
I ended up going down almost 2' and cutting off roots anywhere from
woodie size to larger than my thigh size. The little HF camo winch was
hard put to take it out, but it finally did so. I'm glad I got it.

Oops, gotta go. Time to take more bupes and rub on some Ben Gay
(actually my sister's line, Nature's Sunshine Tei Fu lotion. Good
stuff, Maynard)

I saw some incredible stuff in Costa Rica and I am sorely tempted to
ship back a container load to Canada. I bought a book on woods of
Costa Rica with ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY different species of wood in a
country smaller than Nova Scotia. And the author missed at least one
that I know of. A sculptor & turner by the name of Dany at LaFortuna
uses mainly a wood he calls "Lorito" (Cojoba arborea) which is not in
the book. Really nice stuff.

How much milled and stickered wood would fit in a container?

The planer's really changed the way I look at things. I took an old ugly
looking piece of wood with paint on one side and started planing it.
Little by little the grain emerged. The two pieces I cut out of it will be
the end frames for my latest project, a model railroad throttle holder
(think big remote control holder.)

My planer doesn't always want to accept the wood I'm feeding it. It's set
for a shallow cut, but the wood just rubs up against the feed rollers. Any
suggestions?

A young man lost an eye in an accident and was fitted with a prosthetic
replacement made of lacquered maple. This left him feeling very
self-conscious, and he stopped going out. A friend finally convinced
him to go to a dance, but he stood alone against a wall, afraid to make
a move.
The poor soul looked around and say a young lady sitting alone. No one
was asking her to dance because she too was handicapped, having lost a
leg and been fitted with a prosthetic. He thought, "maybe she'll dance
with me." Screwing up his courage, he approached and asked if she'd
like to dance.
The young lady's face lit up, and she exclaimed, "Would I! Would I!"
So he pointed back and answered, "Peg leg! Peg leg!"

Did some maintenance and pruning in the garden today. Found out yesterday the

Pine.
And the weird looking seeds - Illawarra plums - are edible and quite nice,

green wood, even on sticks, put in a container will grow mold at a
prodigous rate,
most likely destroying any value it had. It would need to be air dried
and/or treated with a fungicide. Plus heated treated or fumigated for
insects to allow importation. Could still be done at a fair profit,
I expect.

I manage to salvage a lot of wood from around the homestead--tearing apart
and rebuilding a closet, knocking down an old fence--stuff like that. But I
just demolished a series of plywood boxes SWMBO had been using as shelves
for her ever-growing collection of potted plants (happily outside) and I
can't think what I'm going to use the salvaged wood for. The screw holes
are rusty or even semi-rotted, there are several thick coats of paint, and
the pieces are at most 18" in size. I might actually have to get rid of
this material because I can't picture using it for everything useful and
that goes against the grain (so to speak).

Good point. I hadn't thought of that. Except I think most of it is not
really green in that the only trees that can be harvested in Costa
Rica are standing dead or fallen down (except for the plantation stuff
Lew was talking about. I don't know why they don't plant mahogany
instead of teak ;-) ).

Some of the naturally "fallen" trees somehow get chainsaw marks at the
stump end. But that was obviously only to even out the end, right?

I did look up the regs for importing into Canada. We don't need to
fumigate tropical species, it just can't have bark on it.

Just make sure that none of it is on an endangered species list and any
of it that needs a certification that is from a managed forest has the
certification.

One of the local yards used to have an amazing array of Argentinian
hardwoods at very reasonable prices but the gummint cracked down on them
and they won't touch the stuff anymore.

A couple of enterprising lads from these parts brought in a couple of
containers of merbau. That was 25 years ago. They did all the
calculations and had decided to rough cut the timbers and stickering
them right inside the containers. That worked well for them, aside
from the fact that nobody wanted the stuff... at least not back then.
I was offered as much as I wanted at 70 centsbd/ft but passed as I had
no idea what to do with it. Kinda teak-ish looking stuff, supposedly
termite resistant. The guys broke even on it and admitted that they
should have investigated the market for such wood a bit more. (These
days, Greenpeace will scuttle your boat if you're taking merbau off
the Philippines)

I guess the lesson in this is that bringing in a load of anything,
makes sense if there's a buyer for it who can be offered a better deal
than what he's getting now. Pretty woods have a certain demand from
the fringe, but they're invariably cheap *******s. A turner wants to
make a pretty bowl out of a 10 dollar hunk of wood, not necessarily a
50 dollar piece. I have had discussions with suppliers of super-cool
flitches to the luthier trades, etc, but they're all poor and want
deals.

Do you really want to bring in a container full of stuff with those
cheapos waiting for you?

Guys like A & M in Cambridge, ON, already have pipelines to the good
stuff and make a reasonable mark-up on it.

There's way more money to be made if you can find a way to get food to

A metric ****load, WeeGee.

Let's see, 8'x8'x20' = 47.4 y3. Drop a couple for stickering and ya
got about 45 yd3 or 35 m3.

Double that for the 40-footers.

OK, actual sizes and capacities are a bit under that. I think wet wood
would max the container before it was full.

STANDARD CONTAINERS: 20'
inside length 5.900m
inside width 2.350m
inside height 2.393m
capacity 33.2CBM
tare weight 2,230Kg
maxi cargo 21,770Kg

If you have a boiler in your garshop and don't have a CO detector, get one.
