Exploring the American Forest "no wood is bad wood"

Though I don't have the skills Gilpin has, there has been times when I thin k, similarly, when I run across pieces of different woods. If there's a ch ance to do something with a unique find, I salvage it. I use to look for driftwood pieces, along the Miss. River, at the Morganza locks and in other places, like Chicot State Park. Weathered, gnarled (rootball?) pieces and other odd shapes & profiles are often found, almost anywhere.

That was a neat video. Thanks. Sonny

That was good. I particularly liked at the very end where he cut an ogee around a knot in the round counter top. Very unique and creative.
