I love the look of curly maple, I threw some in the stove last night. Had to look at how pretty it was for a minute. Then came to the conclusion that pretty doesnt keep my kids warm but fire does so in it went!

Looks like $200+ worth of small decorative boxes to me....

My best friend is the Master Gunsmith at Colonial Williamsburg and you should see what he could do with a longer piece of curley maple like that! Would cost ya 10k at least for one of his rifles.

You bet. I just bought a used surface plane for such things like this.

When I see that wood while splitting, I pitch it to the side. It makes awesome tomahawk handles.....
