How many plugs

could you get out of this Basswood tree.

Tree guy knew what it was worth and only charged the lady $1,000, to take it down with crane and bucket.

Basswood is all I use--knots rarely a problem--turns well. Where can I get a tree that size??

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.
