Hi guys, I've been gone for a while. I wanted to check in and show something that I discovered one day by accident. For some people who...
sounds like your good to go.
Could you describe your marginal wood ? If you want to avoid a lot of headaches make sure it's dry enough.
I personally think that a lot of people throw away perfectly good cats. I say this because I have been guilty many times of thinking my cat is...
:stacker:
Here is a picture of the wood.
Thanks for the info guys. I added a leaf picture so hopefully somebody can identify the wood. I have plenty of maple, locust, cherry, and ash...
