Thanks, Gary
Gonna have to start scrounging for some more Red Maple as I've only got 4 more sections in the stash.
too bad you're not here
In the not too distant future, I'm going to have to have a "big" one taken down that sits a few feet off the corner of my house. The base is in bad shape (probably a string trimmer 42 years ago before we moved in), and I've been babying it along, but it's bad enough now that I may have to take action. TBD. A lot of wood will go to waste, but I can't use much -- I'll keep the odd crotch piece. This HF came from a branch crotch I had removed from over the house some years back. I showed it here back in August, but I think it's worth a repeat in this context.

Re: too bad you're not closer
I'd hook up the trailer, sharpen a set of chains, and come get a load!
Nice piece, well worth the second look. 
Nice job, Mark
... and crack-free to boot. Your finish is also really smooth. Great reflections.
Cheers,
Ellis
