You never asked what I thought was exotic Rick, certainly not oak or walnut. I'm more thinking in lines of African Padauk, Bubinga ,Purpleheart Ebony that I have on hand. Anything I don't have can be bought here in Ontario...I do have oak and walnut in my stash too and 1000 board feet of ash I milled years ago. So don't think I'd shlt or fall over...

John, those are exotic woods and too expensive for my taste. Oak, walnut, and ash are native but the emerald ash bore has devastated the ash trees to the point that the City and State are clear cutting them. Won't be long before ash becomes exotic.

Good evening Illinois, Sean, Ken, John, and Steve!

My daughter and her family are coming from St Louis tomorrow. I haven't seen them since they were here last July for her husband's fathers funeral.

Weather weenie is saying that we are in for 2 to 3 inches tomorrow. Not good when so many people will be traveling this weekend.

Three inches is the most white crap at one time IL has seen in two years.

God brought it,
God will take it away!
