I get most of my wood by walking the heavily treed areas by my home, and doing what I call stump kicking. There's a lot of oak, eucalyptus and bay laurel. Most of the time I can kick loose stumps or roots from blowdowns.
I was out yesterday getting some bay laurel for a customers call and stumbled across this stump. I have walked past this thing dozens of times and never saw it. I returned today with help.
I cut into it and was floored to find nothing but eyes everywhere.
Got to get this cut up before the wife has me making bowls again.
