Hi all I just have to tell you about a miracle that just happened. My sister called me on Wed. to tell me that the people who now own the house we grew up in, had cut down one of the trees my dad had planted - she didn't know what kind, but it was big. Well, I went by and there on the ground was the trunk - 6' long, 20" dia. - of the MAHOGANY tree. So, I decided that I would go by today and if it was still there, see if I could cut off a couple of chunks. When I pulled up today, there was a tree service there just finishing cutting it up - when I asked if I could have some, they loaded 3 big pieces (12-14" thick, 20" across +/-, guaranteed to give ME a hernia) in my truck. So I now have enough to turn bowls and/or peppermills for all of my parents' kids and grandkids -I just have to cut it into smaller blanks and seal. Isn't God wonderful?
