Conversion

Had to saw down a Red Oak a few weeks ago. Had known that day was coming as the tree had outgrown its space. Hated it none the less as I had pampered this thing since it was a six foot tall sapling 26 years ago.

It had a decent log so I took it to a cabinet shop not far from home to see if the man would saw it for me. I had no idea who owned the shop and was pleasantly surprised to find the son of a man whom I had known years ago. When I introduced myself he immediately recognized my name and said his dad used to talk about me all of the time. We spent more time swapping stories than it took to saw the log!

That encounter will add another dimension to whatever project those boards will be applied!
