   This was the thank you gift for the tree stump. These two thru cuts were particularly prized. The top is 6' x 32" and the breadboards were the off cuts from the other side of a crack. Original board was 22" x 11' with a giant knot around 6 1/2', you can see the radiation from it on viewer's left of the table top. The panels on the bookshelf are from another one of the dozen or so 20"+ thru cuts

   I had a friend that cut down a norway maple for firewood, it was about 3o" wide a AAAA curly all the way through from top to bottom, it was about 20' long with half-basketball sized burls all over it. When I found out about it I dug through his firewood pile cutting out the burls. Now when he cuts a tree down he cuts a little off the top and bottom and splits it to check for figure. Hasn't saved a log yet, but he's not going to miss one either.
