If anyone is in the Thousand Oaks, CA area (Ventura County) and would like some free Ash or Olive, a local tree trimmer dropped off a load that I’m just not getting through very quickly and am happy to donate some. The ash was not cut the way I would have preferred, in that the lengths are shorter than the diameter of the log in most cases, but still some nice wood to turn.

Feel free to PM if you’d like to stop by and pick some up.

I love turning ash but never turn olive wood before.  Would you be willing to mail some?
As of this time I am not teaching vets to turn. Also please do not send any items to me without prior notification.  Thank You Everyone.

Very much so.  Olive is wonderful stuff if you can get your hands on it.

Hi Arlin -

Sorry to say it’s all still in log form - the year has started crazy at work and I’ve not had any time with the chainsaw. If I can get some cut I’ll see what I can create that can be shipped.

All I can say is I envy all of you guys still at work.

Makes me feel less of a man not to and my sweetheart always telling me it is OK.  Did I ever mention I have a fantastic wife!

I know what you both are saying, but I loved to work and enjoyed it and also enjoyed learning everything about any new job or all the job had to teach me.

Plus it brings in more money that we can use.
Crazy   Or I guess I would just spend it on the vets.
