Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Crafters
wow...I had forgotten about this thread...No excuse, just old age and decrepitude. I get so wrapped up in DOING my work, I forget to market it, except in a tightly planned set of craft shows locally.

That is a fascinating list, SRS and BWL...I especially covet Persimmon (the bigger & older, the better), but all the Oaks, Maple, Dogwood and Holly can be quite nice. I don't expect to get to them, as wood usually 'checks' (cracks at the ends) and then rots, if not used or protected early on.....and I do have LOTS of wood already. It is nice to know what's there and to keep the topic alive...just in case. There will be a woodcollectors meeting in Florida (between Ocala & Orlando)in Feb....and 'if' I am able to attend..(23%) I might make side trips. I KNOW there will be tons of salvaged wood at the meeting.

I have made a resolution to get organized this year...right after the show season...*grin*...and see if I can tap into some of the resources mentioned here.

Thanks for remembering the thread... (those links to my stuff no longer work, but I will have more up soon....)
