@DavidGrothsculpture OH wow! David, you replied to me!!!!. Thanks. Congrats on your great situation. I am a steel worker and been laid off for quite a bit now and if I had your situation I would be overjoyed. Only made one Locust wood sculpture in my life and am looking for a place and some wood for my next project. Right now I am nicely trying to get an olivewood stump to work on. San Diego Ca.

Nice burly rootwad!! There are some gems on our beaches. I live in Port Orford Oregon.

I've enjoyed all of your videos. I love this one. Good to see im not the only one crazy enough to get thousand pound+ chunks of wood home..Sweet set up on your wench rack. Do you use a carbide chain when roughing out your beach wood?

Love your work! Id love to see it in person!

Thanks for the feedback! Glad to hear you are reclaiming materials from the beach also. No carbide chain just good old sharpening and trying to remove all sand first. If in the Trinidad CA area give me a call.

Ingenious way to transport the wood. Wish I had access to burls like that.
