Pressure treated fence
We will be replacing our fence with pressure treated fencing. Do we have to apply a sealer? If we don't will it affect the longevity of the fence? As we are getting older we do not want to have to paint or stain the fence but would like to let it age naturally. We are trying to make this as easy care as possible...but don't want to use PVC fenicing and don't have the money for cedar.
If you use ground contact pressure treated posts(different than what most home improvement stores carry in stock), and set the posts in concrete correctly, the fence should last a long time.
It will turn gray and the boards may warp or cup if left with no finish. It will probably do the same with a finish applied only once.
You could use a deck stain, applied with a pump-up sprayer(like the weed control folks use) every three or four years and it should stay much nicer looking.
Green PT wood gets eaten up by the sun. The brown fares a bit better.
Around here what you all call ground contact PT is only available as a special order through a marine supply place for dock building. Very expensive.
I agree with Handymac...use a spray on deck stain, you may want to back roll the face boards but that will help.
Make sure your installer doesn't encapsulate the posts in concrete. The correct way is to dig the hole 6" deeper than needed, add drain rock and tamp that down to achieve the depth you need, place the post and brace it, add some fill dirt and tamp it, then add cement such that it forms a collar around the post that does not come to daylight. Once that hardens, fill the remaining hole with well tamped fill dirt (the stuff you dug out of the hole) and slope it around the post such that surface water runs away from the post.
You don't want your posts sitting in a cement cup, the only reason the cement is there is to counterbalance the effect of the fence panels. You want any water getting to the posts to be able to drain away.

-- Data transferred in 30 seconds while public Internet took over a day --
June 29, 2012, Cambridge, Mass., and Shenzhen, China – BGI, the world's largest genomics organization, announced today that a group of scientists and researchers successfully demonstrated genomic data transfer at a sustained rate of almost 10 Gigabits per second (Gbps) over a new link connecting US and China research and education networks. This data rate is equivalent to moving more than 100 million megabytes -- over 5,400 full Blu-ray discs -- in a single day.
The data transfer demonstration was part of a June 22nd event in Beijing celebrating a new 10 Gigabit US – China network connection supported by Internet2, the China Education and Research Network (CERNET), the National Science Foundation (NSF), and Indiana University. Three centers and their representatives participated in the demonstration – BGI, Dr. Xing Xu, Director of Cloud Computing Product; University of California, Davis, Dr. Dawei Lin, Director of Bioinformatics Core of Genome Center; and National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), Dr. Don Preuss, Head of Systems Group. Aspera Inc., the creator of the technology that moves the world's data at maximum speed, provided software to support the data transfers.
BGI performed the live demos of ultra high-speed data exchanges between the three world-class genomics institutions. For example, BGI transferred 24 Gigabytes of genomic data from Beijing to UC Davis in less than 30 seconds. A file of the same size sent over the public Internet a few days earlier took more than 26 hours.
"The 10 Gigabit network connection is even faster than transferring data to most local hard drives," said Dr. Lin. "The use of a 10 Gigabit network connection will be groundbreaking, very much like email replacing hand delivered mail for communication. It will enable scientists in the genomics-related fields to communicate and transfer data more rapidly and conveniently, and bring the best minds together to better explore the mysteries of life science."
Dr. Xu said, "This was the first time that large genomic data were transferred between China and the US over a 10 Gigabit network. BGI is excited to demonstrate this achievement and looks forward to the potential opportunity to incorporate this breakthrough into our service capabilities to facilitate more rapid and efficient exchange of big genomic data globally."
Genomics has revolutionized the life sciences. While the cost of DNA sequencing is steadily decreasing, the amount of data generated with next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies is growing at an unprecedented pace. In the age of "Big Genomics Data", how to conveniently share the tremendous volume of data has become a significant research bottleneck. The 10 Gigabit Internet connection may provide a significant new tool for tackling "big data" and increasing scientific collaboration, education and cultural exchange between the two countries.

Holmes showing up big again for Raiders
NAPA, Calif. (AP) — Andre Holmes is the biggest wide receiver on the Oakland Raiders roster.
He's playing like it, too.
The 6-foot-4-inch, 210-pound has been quarterback Matt Schaub's most consistent downfield threat since the team began practicing, following up on a surprising 2013 campaign in which Holmes led the club in yards per catch after missing the first five games.
That has elevated the former undrafted free agent atop Oakland's first depth chart released by the team.
While that holds about as much significance as scoring touchdowns in practice, it's a definite sign of the Raiders believe that Holmes can solve the question of who will be the team's number one receiver in 2014.
"A long strider, has a big burst up the field, can separate and then go up and get the football ... exactly what you want from a receiver," Schaub said Monday. "I'm excited to see what he can do in game action. He's a big, big threat for us."
Schaub knows the benefits of having a big, physical receivers named Andre. Oakland's first-year quarterback spent the past seven seasons throwing to 6-3, 220-pound Andre Johnson, a seven-time Pro Bowl selection.
Holmes clearly isn't on Johnson's level. He has just 27 career receptions and has scored only one touchdown in 17 games.
Still, for an Oakland team that doesn't have a clear-cut No. 1 wideout Holmes is currently the closest thing to it.
He certainly looked the part so far, an encouraging sign for an offense that tied for 24th in passing last season.
"It's a good feeling but I still look to improve in many areas," Holmes said. "I can't be complacent. I know that I have a lot to work on and that's what I'm trying to do right now in this camp."
Holmes hasn't dropped many passes in practice and made a pair of nice receptions after the Raiders returned from a day off.
He beat rookie defensive back Keith McGill to haul in a deep touchdown throw from Schaub, then later split the zone coverage of veteran cornerback Carlos Rogers and safety Tyvon Branch to make another long catch.
"We're starting to click a little bit," Holmes said of he and Schaub. "He knows where I like the ball and he's been placing it in those areas a lot. He's starting to get a connection with all of us in knowing where we're going to be and kind of the timing of the routes."
The Raiders picked up Holmes off waivers last year but weren't quite sure what they were getting.
A three-year starter at Division II Hillsdale College, Holmes went undrafted in 2011 and was cut by the Minnesota Vikings at the end of training camp. He spent the next two years with Dallas but played in just seven games and caught only two passes.
Holmes signed with Oakland on May 13, 2013 but missed the first four games after testing positive for a banned substance that violated the league's performance enhancing drugs.

European Unconventional Gas Summit to focus on challenges to shale gas exploration WWF remains critical of shale gas
Fracking techniques need to tailored
Among the attendees and speakers are operators such as Talisman Energy, MOL and BNK Petroleum, government representatives from countries across Europe including Germany, Poland, Hungary and Ukraine as well as key NGOs including the WWF, Food & Europe Group, and The Global Warming Policy Foundation. Says the European Unconventional Gas Summit's Bryony Senczyszyn: "As each shale play is different, operators are discovering that fracking techniques, stimulations and technologies need to be tailored to each reservoir to gain maximum profitability. This means locating sweet spots and monitoring reservoirs efficiently has never been more important for operators and service companies. Technical experts at our new Technology Academy Day including NuTech and Tamboran Resources, will show how they successfully deliver accurate and high-quality reservoir characterisation information."
WWF still concerned with shale gas
Dr Stephan Singer, Director, Global Energy Policy, Global Climate and Energy Initiative at the WWF International, is part of a panel discussion in the programme focusing on public, community and media engagement. He says the WWF is still concerned about unconventional gas.

SEATTLE (AP) — Learning that Padres Hall of Famer Tony Gwynn had died completely changed Chris Young's outlook on pitching against his former team.
Seager, Young lead Mariners past Padres 5-1
"I think any fun about pitching against them disappeared this morning with the news of Tony passing," the Mariners' right-hander said after Seattle's 5-1 win over San Diego on Monday night.
"My condolences go out to his family, the Padres organization, the city of San Diego. He meant a lot to everyone there and I'm grateful I had the opportunity to work with him and get to know him."
The loss capped a somber day for the Padres organization. Gwynn, 54, died Monday morning of oral cancer, a disease he attributed to years of chewing tobacco.
"Even though we're away from San Diego I think the Mariners did a good job of putting Tony out there," Padres manager Bud Black said.
Kyle Seager hit a three-run homer in the first inning, Brad Miller added a solo shot, and Young threw six shutout innings against his former team. San Diego was on the verge of being shut out by Young (6-4) and a pair of relievers until Carlos Quentin hit a solo homer leading off the ninth.
But Gwynn was on everyone's mind at Safeco Field. Seattle honored Gwynn with a video tribute and moment of silence before the game and put a '19' on the dirt in the hole between the shortstop and third baseman. Gwynn called that the "5.5 hole" and many of his 3,141 hits went through it.
San Diego added black armbands to its uniform in honor of Gwynn, and his No. 19 jersey hung in the Padres dugout. His jersey also was scattered among fans in attendance.
"He is the city of San Diego. You talk Padres baseball, Tony Gwynn is everything there," Young said.
Seager's homer came on a 3-0 pitch from San Diego starter Tyson Ross (6-6). Coming off a 4-for-4 performance on Sunday, Seager was given the green light and hit his 10th homer of the season. Miller followed with a solo homer an inning later.

Klock Werks Platinum-Series Revolver Slip-On Mufflers For Harley Touring
These slip-on mufflers are not just another muffler adapted for use on baggers - they are designed specifically for touring bikes and street use. The mufflers have a deep, throaty rumble - muted when scooting around town, but they scream under hard acceleration. The proprietary baffle setup has been rigorously sound and performance tested. The baffle extends to the front of the muffler body and actually clamps to the headpipe along wtih the body. This allows exhaust gases to enter directly into the baffle and eliminates the hot spot discoloration that generally occurs mid-muffler or where baffle traditionally starts inside of the muffler body. You get long-lasting style without sacrificing performance! Klock Werks recommends installing a Dynojet Power Commander with any exhaust change on fuel-injected models.

The Argentinian Ambassador to Israel is to be summoned to the Foreign Ministry in Jerusalem for an official reprimand over his country's decision to set up a "truth committee" to investigate the 1994 bombing of a Buenos Aires Jewish community center that killed 85 people, Army Radio reported.Jerusalem expressed "surprise and astonishment" Monday at a decision by Iran and Argentina to set up a "truth committee" to investigate the bombing.The announcement came as a complete surprise and shock," Foreign Ministry spokesman Yigal Palmor told AFP news agency about the establishment of the new committee. "We warned the Argentineans that the Iranians were trying to manipulate them and set a trap for them that they will use for their propaganda purposes."Argentina's courts have already found Iran culpable, and even issued Interpol warrants against five Iranians and a Lebanese for the attack, including Iranian Defense Minister Ahmad Vahidi. Palmor said that Israel had no information on the mandate of the "truth committee" beyond what was written in the media, and was waiting to hear explanations from the Argentinean about what is being discussed.The attack on the Asociación Mutual Israelita Argentina (AMIA) building on July 18, 1994 was Argentina's deadliest ever bombing and also left hundreds wounded. Two years before the attack, Islamic Jihad took responsibility for an attack on the Israeli embassy in Buenos Aires that killed 29 people.An Argentine newspaper reported two years ago that Buenos Aires was willing to stop investigating the bombings of Jewish targets there in the 1990s in return for improved economic ties with Iran. One diplomatic official said the establishment of the "truth committee" – which he said sounded like something straight out of North Korea – seemed to indicate there was something to that story, denied at the time by Argentina.The official said that Israel, when it asked about Argentine contacts with the Iranians regarding the bombings, were told that it was an internal Argentinean matter that did not affect Israel.The official said that Argentine President Cristina Fernandez has a fascination with Venezuela's Hugo Chavez, and that this move toward Iran seems to be an indication that she is beginning to follow his lead. It was not clear, the official said, what economic benefits Iran promised Argentina in return for whitewashing the bombings.Fernandez said foreign ministers from Argentina and Iran had signed a memorandum of understanding during a meeting in Ethiopia.The commission, according to the accord, will be made up of foreign legal experts "to analyze all the documentation presented to date by the judicial authorities of Argentina and Iran," Fernandez said in a series of Twitter messages.Fernandez hailed the agreement as historic.The five commissioners will be jointly nominated and will not be residents of Argentina or Iran, according to a document posted on Fernandez's Facebook page.After analyzing the evidence, "the commission will give its vision and issue a report with recommendations about how the case should proceed within the legal and regulatory framework of both parties," according to the agreement.It also outlines plans for Argentine legal officials to meet in Tehran to question "those people for whom Interpol has issued a red notice."Fernandez said the accord, which must be ratified by Congress, showed Argentina "would never let the tragedy (attack) become a chess piece in the game of wider geopolitical interests.""Dialogue (is) the only way to resolve conflicts between countries, however severe they are," she said via Twitter.Jpost.com Staff contributed to this report.

National Dare Day
by Paige
I DARE you to a day FULL of dares!
June 1st is National Dare Day!
And what better way to celebrate then to challenge your hubby to a day FULL of wild and crazy dares!
Here's How:
Create a set of dares for your spouse, using the fun-tastic printables by the talented Ana at Falala Designs! Start by adhering the 4 dare labels to envelopes and placing the corresponding dare cards inside!
There are two sets of dare cards; Red – for the hubby to give to the wife and Yellow – for the wife to give to the hubby!
On the morning of "Dare Day," lay the invite on top of the stash of dare cards for your hubby to fill out and give to you!
Then, fill out his dare cards and pack them in his suitcase and see just how daring he is when you're not around?! Will he complete his dare… or chicken out!? I suggest labeling the bottom corner of each envelope to notify your spouse of when they should open up their next dare card!
Really put your man to the test by leaving the best for last! For his evening dirty dare, challenge him to a bedroom round of Sizzling Truth and Dare!
If your man is a true risk taker, you can save the famous Deal or No Deal Bedroom Game for another night!

We have recently upgraded our TFS 2010 server to TFS 11 RC. The upgrade process was smooth and painless. But (there is always a "but"), when I tried to access new TFS Web Access (which is awesome, by the way), I get "TF400508: The current process settings are either missing or not valid…" error. This error is only happening with old "upgraded" projects and we do not see this error if I create a new project in TFS 11. So, it looks like the problem lies within the older template. To resolve the issue, I had to use updateProject file from Microsoft to update an Agile, Scrum or CMMI team project from Team Foundation Server 2010 to Team Foundation Server 11.
To run the updateProject batch file:
For detailed instruction see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff432837(VS.110).aspx
Every time I try to purchase or download something from the Windows Store I get the following error: "Your purchase couldn't be completed. Something happened and your purchase can't be completed." This error does not really tell us why it failed, but that things have failed. Pretty useless. Don't you hate such errors. L
Anyway, I searched online for a solution to this problem, but none of the suggested solutions helped me resolve the issue. Then I remembered when this problem started happening. I have started experiencing this problem after I have associated my Live ID with my Windows 8 installation and started logging to my laptop in using my Live ID, instead of a Windows use account. So, I thought it is worth a shot to reverse that change. After I have switched back to Local Account, the problem disappeared. I am now able to download apps from Windows Store without any issues. To me, this seems like a bug in Windows 8 Release Preview. So, until Microsoft fixes this bug, I am going to stick with Local Accounts. ;)
Oh yes, almost forgot. To switch to Local Account:
Recently I have been on Tech Days TV and Align IT with some friends of mine.
All the shows, pertain to the next version of TFS coming out in 2012.

It is Methodology May at the TALMUG
Methodology. In the world of software development there are not many words that raise contention quite as quickly as this. But why is that? What are the differences between Agile, Iterative, and Rigorous software development methodologies? There has been buzz about Scrum, XP, Lean, Waterfall, Kanban, and RUP for years; how do they fit into this discussion? But most importantly, why should you care? What does the test team think of all this?
In Methodology May the TALMUG brings you a panel of ALM professionals to discuss and debate these very questions and maybe help you see what methodology could work best at your company.
Pizza and Pop will be available at 5:30pm - Come out and join in on the discussions.
Being held at 40 University, Suite 1301, Toronto meeting starts at 6pm.

I remember seeing " The Cowboys " at the local drive in. All us kids ran around with our cap pistols, shootin & watchin the show, until that scene were JW was killed by Bruce Dern. We just stop playin and some started to cry, THE DUKE IS DEAD. LOL the things you remember........
I keep forgetting to add "The Sons of Katie Elder" one of my all time Duke favorites
agree too that "In Harm's Way" is top 5 for sure. Great movie
When they were filming the Cowboys with bruce dern, dern was quoted as saying that the duke threw him around like a rag doll in the fight scene. The Duke says to dern, You know they gonna hate you for this, lol..............And I still do. But Hey he a hot looking daughter that lived next door.........
For ever Vigilant..... One Shot One Kill.........
I always thought " Red River" was a good film, " The Searchers" to me was one of the first dark and gritty westerns. " Donovan's Reef " is still one of my all time favorites, and Lee Marvin's portrayal of Gilhooley was excellent. I was always impressed with how many excellent supporting actors John Wayne always had in most of his films, he gave many the exposure to become stars in their own right, something I think he should have been very proud in accomplishing.
I was always disappointed that holly-weird never gave him the opportunity to portray Wyatt Earp, Bat Masterson or Pat Garrett.
The Quite Man with Maureen O'Hara.. St.Pat's day is near so I'm guessing that AMC etc. will be playing it very soon..
Anybody remember "The Hellfighters"?
Fighting oil fires, and living large...
No one mentioned
"The Flying Tigers"
I'm old so I remember that one.
The Searchers.
True Grit.
Stage Coach.
are some of my favorites.
So many to try and remember.
Hell Fighters.
The "Cavalry" trilogy.
Green Berets.
And one I REALLY like,
"Angel and The Badman"
Gail Russell, Oh My

Various factors affect the calculations for the appropriate amount of child support to be paid to the custodial parent. The courts considers each party's income and/or ability to earn income as well as the expenses that each parents pays on behalf of their minor children such as, the costs of providing health insurance, dental insurance, life insurance, educational expenses and child care expenses. The appropriate information is entered on a Child Support Worksheet. There can be deviations for high income earneres.

Non-standard forms of employment are on the rise in many countries, including countries in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) region. This is one key finding of our study involving non-standard employment in formal enterprises in six ASEAN countries, namely, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Viet Nam. The need for numerical flexibility as a way to reduce the cost of longer-term employment is the main driver behind the decision of companies to use non-standard forms of employment. The demand for further flexibilisation of the workplace comes with the need for an adaptable and disposable workforce.

John 14:1-3
As I write this, we have spent 25 of the past 42 nights in hotels, motels or lodges, sleeping in strange beds, in strange establishments, surrounded by strangers. Perhaps this is why hotels are on my mind at the moment. Some of the rooms we have been in have been large, others somewhat small. Some have had lots of amenities while others have had a bed, a bathroom, a TV and not much more. Read more

Hunt for Taliban Leaves Village With Horror
By CARLOTTA GALL
Published: July 8, 2002
KAKRAK, Afghanistan, July 6— After an American plane bombarded this village on July 1, American and Afghan soldiers surrounded the settlement and advanced at first light, searching houses and detaining people, apparently expecting to find Islamic militants, residents said today.
But as the soldiers neared the center of the cluster of mud-walled farmhouses, they found a horrifying scene, survivors said.
Women and children lay dead and wounded in and around one big house where they had been gathered for an engagement party, torn apart by cannon fire from the American attack plane, an AC-130 gunship. Survivors said they were gathering up the bodies, picking up limbs and body parts from the streets and adjoining orchard, and carrying the wounded to the village mosque, when the soldiers arrived.
What began as a major operation involving 300 to 400 American and Afghan soldiers against suspected Qaeda and Taliban positions in this isolated corner of southern Afghanistan had apparently turned into a slaughter of innocents. An Afghan delegation says the attack killed 48 people, mostly women and children, and injured 117, figures that American commanders said they accepted.
The Pentagon said after the attack that it had been responding to antiaircraft fire aimed at allied planes. Local officials said here today that faulty intelligence may have been provided by an Afghan.
A delegation that included the American commander of allied forces in Afghanistan concluded after a preliminary investigation that there had been civilian casualties but failed to come to firm conclusions about how they came about. President Bush called President Hamid Karzai of Afghanistan on Friday to express his sympathy.
The ferocity of the attack, which encompassed four villages in Oruzgan Province, has angered local officials, though. And the incident has revealed the first rifts in Afghan government support for the American-led military campaign. The Afghan foreign minister has called for the American military to review its intelligence gathering and operational procedures and to improve coordination with local authorities. Province leaders said they wanted such raids to end altogether.
Villagers here in Kakrak said the American soldiers who appeared here were visibly shocked and saddened by the carnage they found last Monday morning.
''They were approaching from the neighboring village,'' said Pir Jan, a villager who was helping to gather up the dead. ''They were very serious, and they were searching the houses and tying the hands even of the women. And then when they came right into the village and saw the dead women and children they were very sad and their attitude changed toward us.
''They told me through a translator that they had made a mistake,'' Mr. Jan said. ''They said, 'We are sorry, but what's done cannot be undone.' '' The soldiers left later that day.
Mr. Jan was sitting in the courtyard of a house where the attack had blasted a hole in the roof and killed two boys, ages 7 and 13, who had been sleeping on the flat rooftop, he and others said. Five other children were injured at the house.
But the greatest effect was on the house next door, where the engagement party was under way. The women and children had been sitting on the flat mud roof of the farmhouse, enjoying the cool night air and singing wedding songs, when the first shell struck at 1 a.m. It blasted a huge hole in the roof and sprayed shrapnel across the rooftop and around the courtyard. A second explosion hit the adjoining compound, where the men had been sitting in groups in the open courtyard, drinking tea and chatting.
There was pandemonium as people fled the compounds, and more were cut down as they sought a place to hide behind walls or in ditches outside, survivors said.
A 70-year-old woman, Nazaka, ran from the house into an orchard beside the house. ''When the first bomb hit, I escaped to the garden,'' she said. ''I took my grandson and another woman who had been injured. I pulled her by her shirt. I was in the orchard in the far corner, and it got me.'' She showed a shrapnel wound on her leg.
Around her in the orchard, there was unspeakable gore. A woman's torso had landed in one of the small almond trees. Human flesh was still hanging on the tree five days after the attack, and more putrifying remains were tangled in the branches of a pomegranate tree, its bright scarlet flowers still blooming.
''They were collecting body parts in a bucket,'' said the governor of Oruzgan Province, Jan Muhammad, who arrived the day after the attack.
Sahib Jan, 25, a neighbor who escaped the worst of the bombardment, was among the first to help the wounded and gather up the dead. Walking through the compounds five days later, he named those who had been killed, pointing out the blood stains and the shreds of shrapnel still lying around.
He stood over a dark patch of congealed blood under an arch where a 12-year-old boy had died. ''His name was Shirin, the son of Zaher Jan,'' he said. ''There was shrapnel in his head.''
The scene was similar in the village of Siya Sang, five miles away, where villagers said that six people had been killed and more injured. Jamala, a local woman, wept over a pile of bloody clothes in her courtyard. She pointed to the blood on the wall where her son, 15, had fallen dead, and a corner where she had found the bodies of her daughter and grandson. A neighbor woman had also been killed.
''My grandson and daughter's mouths were full of dust,'' she said, pulling her veil across her face. ''Write about this so it will stop, so they leave us in peace to pray and fast.''

Wood from cut tree?
Sadly, my large oak tree is going to have to be cut down. I told the tree men I wanted all the wood and they think I'm crazy to want the trunk too. How hard would it be to sell the trunk ... or are there people who want it whole for furniture? I've never had a tree cut before ... is wood too hard to sell at this time of year? Should I just let most of it go or ... please, any suggestions! It's goign to be all over my driveway tomorrow.
If it is a white oak, there is some possibility that it could contain lumber of value. If it is a red oak it's firewood.
As a rule, legitimate sawmills will not touch any tree that grew near a house: high likelihood of embedded steel scraps (nails, hinges, g*d knows what) which will destroy a blade's sharpness or worse.
A portable one-man milling operation may be interested; may want to share the wood with you for his fee if there's some nice planks. Otherwise you pay him, and the wood's yours.
Generally, keeping the wood---unless you have it cut up and split for firewood---is not worth the time/effort.
Firewood can be sold, depending on where you are.
Most portable sawmill owners will require you to pay for a damaged blade---what Casey said---in order to cut that kind of wood.
Any branches larger than your wrist can be cut into 16-18 inch lengths for firewood, and with the growing popularity of "live edge" slabs, almost any impressive chunk of trunk can be used.
The trick is finding a person who saws the stuff
for homeowners. And starting the day before the tree will be cut down doesn't give you enough time to do it.
The tree removal service will prefer to take it down in short chunks (because lumber is not their end product), so you need to get the sawmill guy in the loop BEFORE the chainsaws come out.
I used to know a crafter....a bowl maker who eagerly sought out oak and walnut with knobs and knots. He didn't want the straight stuff, but the interesting whorls and knots that he could work into wonderful bowls and cutting boards.
don't cut the wood into short lengths.....and don't use it for firewood!! Linked is one crafter of interesting boards.
