>A close friend and fellow turner will be off to Nova Scotia for two weeks in his motor home. Does anyone have suggestions for woodturning visits that can be made there and also, any species of wood that may be more common and available there than what's available here in the mid-atlantic states?

Thanks!

>Tell him to visit me (e-mai) and I can fix him up with at least 1 native burl.

But be careful of the POX on my posts because no-one ever replys. Maybe it's Canadian or I don't know but Starting to annoy me

Thanks Fred

>I am not sure whether any of it is unique, but at the moment in the yard I have elm, maple, box elder, apple, poplar, spruce, black cherry, pin cherry, wild cherry, ash, tamarac, white birch, yellow birch, red oak, maple burl, black cherrry burl, spruce burl and yellow birch burl. These are pretty standard here except for the spruce and tamarac. For some reason most people do not like to turn them. I am in Truro. Visitors are welcome.

>I find your complaint rather confusing. I searched the board and found of the posts you have made you received a reply to your question about sealing burls, the other was a comment by you not requiring a reply, this post to which you are getting this reply and your latest which was just done yesterday. Since you are a little sensitive I will reply to that one as well.
