| all ways looking .I used to get my wood fro m a fellow in walla walla that used to cut yard trees. he let I lay for 5 yrs. in the stump and then saw it up and let it lay for 5 yrs before he opened a stack. he had the best curly maple I ever saw. he would spot curl and drop the blade 3 inch and fletch it off and lay it aside I would go down twice a year. after we got through with the straight stuff he would finally lay out the stack. that is when the hard bargaining really began. alas he died of a heart attack while in the top of a tree. that ended that. by this time I had a pretty good stack for the future. his walnut was yard grown so it was a bit big grained | ||||||

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: I'm not sure if we've ever asked where you get your wood. This Rolling Block from ten years or so ago seems to be wearing nice walnut. Do you have a good stash drying out somewhere that you can always pick from, or are you always looking for new wood?
