So it doens't take much to impress me sometimes and I'm good with it . Was trimming limbs yesterday and noticed some nice looking figure on one of the cut ends. It was busted but I set it and a few other pieces off to the side to look at closer today. I took my little gerber saw and cut past the split to see what I had. I think it's pretty sweet looking. Not sure what I'll do with it but we're gonna put it somewhere and let it dry out this winter. I didn't measure it but probably have about 3.5 feet of that limb before it branches off. 

 

 

I'm always amazed with the treasures that are found in the different pieces of wood.  I found this in a 10" piece of 2"x4" laying on the floor at work one day.  Haven't a clue what species of wood it is.

That's awesome . For a fella that does medium to small projects on occasion it pays to keep an eye out. 

Lookin’ forward to seeing those turned!
