It's Logging Day

We call Travis our adopted son. He lived with us during his senior year in high school. He texted yesterday that he was dropping some trees in his back yard. He wanted to know if any of them were “bowl material”. The grand prize is an American Beech tree that’s 22” in diameter at the base. That one tree is enough too get me fired up.

American Beech is dense, close grained and heavy. I can’t wait to turn some salad bowls out of the butt log.
