Title: Blue Poplar
Post by: longbeard48 on November 07, 2011, 10:26:08 PM
A couple of weeks ago, a friend of mine who manages a factory that custom cuts wood for the furniture industry told me I needed to come by his office and pick up a piece of wood.  Wow!  I was blown away when I saw the blue poplar board he had put aside for me!  I was able to squeeze three boxes out of it.  My photography doesn't do it justice, but I just wanted to share my good fortune with ya'll!
