    Thanks mate

    Here she is as of tonight. No clue what species of maple this is but I know it isn't Norway maple. This is way harder

    Looking good.
    Do you want to be happy or do you want to be normal?

    Unfortunately the bowl didn't work out so well she's got a case of nasty splitting so sadly firewood now oh well

    Besides, apple, hickory, and cherry, there's no other wood I like more for a fire...nothing like the fine smell of seasoned maple burning in the autumnal breeze .
