This is what crazy wood collectors do.

Steve, I know you’re a wood collector, not sure about the crazy part.

But aren’t we all? It’s just on different levels.

So true!

That chunk o' cocobolo makes me feel all funny in the nether regions....


When I moved across the Country two years ago, I gave up a good bit of my stash. But, my wife is convinced I still have a problem. I still have some Maple that's over fifteen years old, some walnut of the same vintage, and some koa I grabbed in Hawaii about 13 years ago.

Although the best bits are the SYP cut down in 1855.... Like this piece:

Good lookin knotty blonde you got there...

I particularly love the termite tracks, too.... LOL

That’s a nice hunk of Cocobolo there - what will be it’s final form?

I think you’re looking at it.

Wood is so sweet. Nice pieces guys!

To explain how long ago this was, I was allowed to carry that on the plane. That’s roughly 9-10” in diameter.

Ahhhh.....so this is what the term 'logging miles' means....

For some strange reason, I am inspired by this piece of art to attempt something in a 3D sculpture. But in wood, not steel. Whatever I end up doing will obviously be scaled down a wee bit, as the original is 6 feet tall(!)

If/when completed, I would expect it to be a "conversation started" in our entry way. I am not sure if my better half will consider it to be a tribute to her .....I suppose I first need to find the right wood.....

I think I know her.

Tell your wife you did it in wood because that's what she gave you. That should take care of the compliment part.
