    Thank you my friend. I have a new guy that wants all of it as I can get it ready. He hasn't been here yet because he's currently working out of state working, but he sounds serious.

    For the wood nerds. The entire trunk of this maple was a bit of pain to split compared to normal and had that wave in the grain top to bottom.

    Every time I get a split like that; I wish it had been milled in to lumber instead
