Gracious Galoots,

Unrepentant apple wood gloat.  Stacked and stickered since 11/2010 in my
shop, as we digitally speak.  White piece of paper stuck to the wood is 6"
square.   Some planks are almost quartersawn.  Lovely grain and beautiful,
rich color.  Although some cupping has occurred, most planks are 5/4 to
6/4, so it's good.  Saw handles and lots more in the raw.

Regards,

Dwight
