A good portion of what I thought was maple turned out to be oak!
Woohoo!

Burning books is a bit Orwellian isn't it Rick? :coolcheese:Actually, I got a call out of the blue yesterday from a guy who I got some red pine off of Craigslist from last spring. Said he'd had a tree cut down and wanted to know if I wanted it. I got there with my two 20ish sons to find a black birch, probably 20" diam at chest height, mostly cut to length. Tree guys told him it was "American Beech" which would have been fine too. Got about a cord of black birch out of the clear blue. Thought that was an excellent Christmas present. I've got about 30 cords worth of wood but it's hard to pass up free, cut, great hardwood when it's offered to you.fossil said:In addition to my customary lump of coal, I received a biography of Andrew Jackson. This qualifies, as I wasn't expecting it, and his nickname was "Old Hickory". :coolsmile: Rick
EDIT: Besides, if it turns out to be a crappy book, I can always burn it.

Thanks my friend, I changed the wording a number of times in an effort to prevent the inevitable, but there was no escape. I will be more careful hoping for things next Christmas.
Best regards,

I couldn't pass it up, remember, you're never too old to be immature! :coolsmile:
