Oh let's see here . . . buddy tells me he'll be out of pocket a couple days fishin, so why would I think you'd be gone a coupel days fishin. What got into me?

Man I figgered I'd get a couple days out of that one before you found it.

I don't blame you ~ but the reasons you gave ain't the ones not to use it. You would suddenly shrink about 8" in height, have a strange sense of humor most people wouldn't understand, and you'd have a nasty Irish temper.

And I thought the delay in Daren replying was because he was laughing too hard to type.

Great luck on that one Daren! I got this one:



I think it's about 22' long. It has been cooking about a year since that photo was taken. I didn't check it for curl. Maybe I'll get lucky.

Hi Daren, I have waited a bit. Took your advise. Cut some of my "rotten" wood(s) and stuck them in the kiln. I have attached two images. One of the Spalted Maple and one...for a lack of a better term "spalted" cherry. I got lots. WhatdaIdowithallofthis???? joshua

Daren,

Just out of curiousity, about how long will it take to dry that maple? I just bought some quilted stuff from my "local" wood source and he biffed the resaw while book matching a piece for me. Now I have to find some more wood.

I am currently in no hurry to dry it (have no immediate plans for it) Frank so it is just air drying. Air dry I expect the 4/4 to be 10%-12% by late fall. If I got in a hurry I could throw it in the kiln and dry it to 7% in 2 weeks or so. I have not checked it to see where it sits right now as far as moisture, but it's been pretty humid here so I reckon it is not air drying very fast.
