This week's Auctions brought to you by a Scholar, a millrat, and a Goat.

[Jeff]

Three new auctions tonight, thanks to Gene Wengert (The Scholar)  and Poston and I. ;)

Thanks Gene!

We have a signed (if you choose to have it inscribed) copy of one of Dr. Gene's books,
Sawing, Edging, and Trimming Hardwood Lumber: Putting Theory Into Practice

POSTONLT40HD has donated a beautiful bowl turned from a plum tree from his family farm.

Thanks Goat David!

And the old millrat, (Me) is donating a sawmill. ;D

Have fun everyone!

This should be a fun week!  Nice intro MillRat !  ;D

This Plum Bowl....with Live Edge...... was turned by my next door neighbor, Don O'Neal. Don is retired and has a very large love for wood. This 75 year old Goat can really turn some nice bowls.
I will answer any questions you have.  PLEASE BID IT UP FOR THE FF. I'M PAYING THE SHIPPING ! 

Here's a pic of Don with just some of his work.

What kind of plum?  I bet that it is a goat hog plum, Prunus umbellata.

[Jeff]

you must register on the auction page for the auction. It has nothing to do with your forestry forum login. Totally separate.

[Nemologger]

Ok Jeff I will see if I can figure it out. Thanks

Who would have thought that a goat plum would be up for auction?  Must be a totally new species.  The Dendrologists are all excited.  That is a big deal, because it is hard to get a Dendrologist excited (unless it is curly cherry plum ).

Since you'll be paying the shipping, I think it's only fair to warn you that I may be pretty far north next week and shipping by dogsled is not cheap; should I win da bowl.  ;D

[POSTON WIDEHEAD]

I'm not worried about you....Its IANAB I'm worried about.  :D

Am I really seeing an auction for a WM LT-40 Super Hydraulic?  ;D

[Weekend_Sawyer]

Its for short people like us.  :D :D :D

[grweldon]

Hmmm... more like for Steve Martin when he gets "small".  I didn't look at the picture earlier, just read the somewhat misleading text.  Now I SEE the error of my ways!  Still pretty cool!

[sandhills]

Man, you guys are tough  .  David I'd love to watch Don make one of those!  I'm not much of a woodworker but what you folks do amazes me.

[Mooseherder]

I really like the bowl made outta plum. ;D

[sandhills]

Yeah, so does my wife  ;D, I want the book, but not the divorce  ;)

[Mooseherder]

The Bowl is Out of Plums. ;D

[sandhills]

That's what they say about me too  ;D

[POSTON WIDEHEAD]

That's what they say about me too  ;D

There's a tool for that.  :D
