A gift called Osage!
« on: October 21, 2011, 12:33:48 am »
A friend stopped today and asked if I would stop by his business.  When I did, he gave me a three inch diameter, five foot long Osage log.  I was quite taken back.  Then he gave me a 5 inch diameter six foot long log.  He had rescued them from a guy with a chainsaw!   The rest of the tree was firewood.  He says he'll get more later.  They're "green" but I'll split, seal and stack them in the garage!  :D  Christmas in October!

That is a good friend.  I love friends like that.  I have parents, teachers, and church folk that bag up snakes, toss them in the freezer and bring them to me.
