 ;D ;D ;D ;D  So much information was lost in the crash.....

Ah yes, I think Jim's choice in fine tire- wood might be Amboyna Burl from Southeast Asia..... but that is just a guess.

Amboyna Burl from Southeast Asia also makes a fine fob- storing wood as well. In fact, that is what Kirby uses to hold his nuts too.

He is getting ready for a CC in a coupla weeks.  Me thinks the stress of western routes has him worried about finding tires so he wants a set that will do 30000 miles ;)  I mean, he was concerned if stations stayed open after 5pm :o

Just a quick question there Jim, what is it about burls you find attractive?

This is a photo I found of a couple of burls in the crotch of a tree. I don't know what to think about the whole thing now....

Actually, the finished product.  The raw product, not so much.

I read this post, then on Craigslist I read this ad:

It must be fate!  Now to figure out how to attach the shaft drive....

  • The C14 is vastly overrated.
