Couple stands of desert ironwood. Some nice big burls.

Sometimes they will work around them or even move them, but this time they just ran it over.

I didn't have tools or I would have cut this up and brought it home.

DUDE!!!!!!!!

What you plan on doing with it?

I know a guy that makes guitar parts from it. I use it for hand tools, pulls. Real hard to work.

Got to dry it first, no?

For sure. Usually I find dead fall that has been lying in the desert sun, but this stuff is green.

Millwork time!

gotta get a small chainsaw to keep in your trunk!

Almost went to home depot right then.

You gonna go back and get what you can?

If it is still there.

did you get any of that? I'd love to see what was in that root ball and really the rest of it too......

No, but it may still be there, the crews were not working the holiday. I am out of room in my shop for more logs though.

makes me wanna jump in a truck and head your way.....

Come on over any time...:)
