I don't know what brand it is Sterling...but I know that My Grand Father had two just like it ...in His Shop when I was growing up...He was a Blacksmith/Wrought Iron Maker....I wish I had spent more Summer Days with Him in that Shop...a lot of Expertise and Knowledge died with Him...

     El D, I bet you're the kind of person who would pull on a piece of thread, on a six hundred year old tapestry, in a museum! :o
Ok, I will just line it with clay!  Plllltttptftzzz! :P ;D
But you have to admit, it does look like an upside down riding lawn mower deck.  Still, I think the clay would work just as well as the cast iron.  Or I can just build one out of fire brick, and clay.  Your Carrot wood limb is slowly drying, still heavy, but drying.  I will try to cut it off at six feet.  Have you found out if you use the heart wood, or sap wood, or a combination there of?

     Eddie;
     Are you you back from hunting prehistoric armadillos, and feeding the Ga. tiger skeeters? 
When would be a good time for you?  Sat. I will be at the Gun Show, Sunday is open, as is the week, except the 6th, and 7th, and I will be going to Montana after that.  Anytime this week, except Wed. is open also.
