What I did today... (pics)

>Good afternoon everyone
Despite the arctic like weather, good wood waits for no one. So the first part of today was spent outside in, shall we say, brisk weather. A friend of mine invited me to go down to a secret contact of his for the purpose of filling my truck with some wild cherry, and as a way of saying thanks for giving him storage room in one of the barns.
This load was a turners dream. We were able to drive right to the log, back the truck up, slice it up, load it up, thank you very much, and goodbye. The man we met was a very gracious and generous sort, and as a result I am now the owner of over 1000 lbs of wild cherry.
I got two logs. The big one is a good size, and should yield some bowls in the 14" - 16" range. The small log will yield bowls in the 10" range, and is a great size for my bowl classes. Now all I need to do is figure out where to stash it so I can still get to it with all the drifting snow.
