I went to an auction today. They called it a living estate sale.
The guy who's stuff was being sold was an old wood turner.
He was 90 years old but he looked at least 100.
The tools sold for way too much money. But I got some pretty good wood.
Looks like firewood, but it is mesquite, olive and desert ironwood.
Some big chunks of walnut. I am thinking Saya material.
Now I need to sort through to see what I have. There will be a lot of waste, but it is all really old dry wood.
If things don't look so good, then I will have a good batch of exotic firewood.
Won't know for sure till I cut it up.
