Welcome to the forum Dave. You won't be sorry when you put in a free standing stove. Simply put, they work! Can you tell us about your avatar?
Could you imagine the turnings from that burl, or the veneer? I too would like to hear what dave70 has to say....
As for the avatar...that's a tree I drive by almost daily and drool over! The burl on that thing is easily six by six!
Got off the wood pile today and exuded I'd try to find a deer for the freezer. My view for the evening. Nothing so far but...it doesn't really matter
Hmmm, I always thought Texas was rather flat. I guess I truly don't get out much. Oh and BTW, glad to meet 'cha.
