Wow. Just when you thought you were nearing the end. Looks like the light at the end of the tunnel was a train!

Shake my mother “loving” head
I’ve got a whole bunch of hickory sticks to get rid of before winter. They’ve only been cut a little over a year ago so to the outdoor pit they...
LOL sure. Black locust looks great carved up. Black Locust Handle
Good progress on the spoon today. I’ll have to buy a wood carving knife set to scoop out the bowl part of the spoon, before I can finish it. I ran...

Fun day today. I collected a bunch of burs full of viable seed, and cut a couple dead chestnut poles. Not too much there for woodworking, but...
That’s exactly what I was thinking. I liked this one because the corners are notched for the legs of the rack. [ATTACH]
Although that’s practical, I’m looking to utilize either a wooden rack or one of those round metal hoops. The wife is hoping for something...

Looks like River Birch to me. I've never scrounged any before, but around here it's a very common, fast-growing yard tree.
I was talking about TACF with my mother this week and after explaining the gist of it, she flat out concluded it was Tinder for trees :rofl: :lol:
