Got a call from my old game warden partner, also a turner, and got access to a neighbors woods before an upcoming timber sale. In two hours this morning we got 37 cherry burls. Not bad for two old guys in the snow, and I just had to brag a bit 😀 .

Now I expect Dietrich will soon become a "certified cherry burl disposal expert" willing to help us from becoming doomed to turning nirvana 😱 .

Several more trips next week should cause this pile of danger grow even higher 😀 .
 
Ya know, Sean has a point. Gonna have to send the burl police after you.

Ya know, if you guys keep outing me I'm never gonna get anyone to send me wood.

Major score, by the way. I have a distant relative who wants to cut some trees in the spring that are burly but I don't expect near that much and nothing bigger than my head. (which is pretty big, by the way, but only in the metaphorical sense)

Cyril, now you have to come see me when I am out there, and uhhh, bring a couple of the burls with you. Two guys, two burls, we'll paint the town red! 😛

Congratulations on the score!
