>ah, a proxy-gloat then? Is that someone you know or did you just come across that picture somewhere?
As for the chainsaws, I too have two but one of mine is a poolan so I guess I'm not as good as you are Mike. 8-) That burl would even be a bear for my husky though.

>The Pew-lan comment was a troll for BubbaBob. Didn't expect another bite. Now I need a fresh bait. I have a friend who tortures me with pictures of mammoth burls, so I figure I'd torture you, too.

>If that was me the burl would look twice as big.
Re: MMMMMmm Burl *drool*
Capt Skip
>Yes it would :) At least twice as big like his fish too. Mike could in no way look that gruff, OCD has many upsides.
Nice chunk of wood. Mike we could convert my F250 in a outboard turner.
