This could be a gloat....
Jan 5^th, 2006 at 1:35pm

if I had a way to get them home....

I was in Nebraska over the new years holiday, and was given 2 Walnut Root Burls. (Pictures have been posted in the gallery) These were taken out of the ground about 6-7 years ago, so they are nice and dry, but they are both about the size of a kitchen table. If I would have known I would have borrowed a truck before I went on the trip, but since I didn't know I only had my Toyota Celica.

Since I didn't have enough room I cut a couple chunks off that I could fit in the car and brought them home. Hopefully I will be able to run back up in the spring with a truck and get them. I would go sooner, but it is about a 13hr trip each way... Sad

Reply #1 - Jan 5^th, 2006 at 5:23pm Do what ever it takes. You have a real stash there. If your friend can get them in out of the weather, you won't have to worry about it going to pot in the mean time. Congratulations. 8)

Reply #6 - Jan 6^th, 2006 at 11:23am Well, if it's not far from me, I feel it would be my duty to fetch and protect them from harm at least until Krayon could take them home. Of course, there may be some stock 'shrinkage', but only if a case of chainsawitis would break out
