A friend of mine called me and said a co-worker had a maple tree cut down and gave me the address. I went to check it out and everything was cut 8” to 10” thick. Too small for what I like to turn. My mentor gave me the idea to cut a bunch of small blanks for my Woodcraft classes. I thought that was a great idea. I brought home 4 pieces around 2’ in diameter. I got 25 6” blanks and 17 7” blanks all around 3” thick.

 

Nice score, Rusty!

Now where is that fire pit?....

Nice score. This maybe a stupid question but what is the blue sealer you’re using?

Thanks, guess I’ve never seen it blue, only semi clear.

Cutoffs burn great and wood shavings with a splash of lighter fluid is the best fire starter.

These two burn piles are waiting for the kids to arrive for Christmas (yes, it's still called Christmas in my house).
