Default I got a wood gloat

Yesterday I went to the mill I deal with. Told Harry and Coriousgeorge about it. So I figured I'd tell you other guys. I got me some bowl turning material. 8' long 3" thick by 8" wide white ash and only payed 10.00 for the whole darn thing. Older stuff has some cracks on the ends so I figured I'll get some pen blanks out of them. So there is my gloat for the weekend. Oh yeah got some 1x12"x8" white pine 72bft for 28.00 good deal huh. I'm almost breaking my arm trying to pat myself on the back

I'm going to see how the bowls go with this plank if all goes well he has 2 more of them under his mill roof so I know for a fact that they are good and dry. Like to step into this type s**t anytime.
