Free wood is good wood part 1
The other day I was driving home and noticed a neighbor had cut back a tree and had some limbs at the curb. I see this fairy often and very rarely stop to grab anything in it's raw state. I have a very limited space and have no means to resaw limbs into planks/boards.
For some strange reason I stopped immediately, that tree looks different, I thought to myself, It didn't
Look like the other trees in my area… Hmmm
I loaded up as much as I could fit into the back and headed home..
A few days later I realised I had completely forgotten about the tree limbs.
Luckily I had grabbed some leaves from the tree as well to help ID it.
Hmmm what is this strange tree doing in my neighborhood?
Black Walnut!
Having only a small hatchet to work these logs I called in the calvary. I had remembered my brother recently talking about his new chainsaw!
I called him up and explained what I found and told him about the very first episode of the woodwrights shop I had just recently watched
Maul and Glut
