I have done that, went back loaded the log and put in my yard!

Yep got a whole walnut that way.

 

You know you are a woodworker when you draw plans at work so you will have more time to work in the shop.

 

You know you are a woodworker when the wife is understanding of your need for wood exposure when on vacation.

 

When your wife actually brags about what you make.
