| This is a nice little maple burl and so dry that it will be a matter of just finish turn the outside, sand, hollow out the inside, and apply finish. Nice. Project shelf. |

|
| Mostly red oak cutoffs. I seem to recall that these are from the time uncle Alan was making coffee tables. They should make some nice laminations. Save. |
|
| From a blue plastic box marked "Carving." There are a saw vise (vice for the Brits), miscellaneous wood pieces, carving stand, unfinished carvings, finished carvings, and stuff. |
|
| A saw vise is just that, a device to hold a hand saw while you file it sharp. |

| The saw goes in the saw vise and the saw vise goes in the bench vise and off you go to work in single file. |
|
| Some nice 12 to 15 inch pieces of cocobolo for pens. Off to the pen blank box. |
