Free, come and get it!

Post by OLDE CUTLER »

A fellow that I used to work with called me the other day and said he was cleaning out his garage and had a bunch of stuff to get rid of. He asked me if I would take some of it. I asked him "what is it you are talking about?" He said "just come out to work and get the two pieces from the back of my pickup. I still have the same truck parked in the same place as when you still worked here." Anyway, this is what I came home with.

Very NICE!
Those look big enough to get some nice slabs out of.
I'm looking forward to see how they get used!
Congrats!

Sweet! I've walked a million miles, in the woods, the last 3 weeks...looking for new sheds. Never actually found one...when I was actually looking for one...but having fun taking the dog out, looking for them.

Wow, nice antlers. I am looking forward to seeing how you get those cut up into useable pieces. I am assuming a band saw is the best approach? :D

Yes, band saw works best.

I don't think they were shed. There are saw cuts on the base of both. Must have come from a hunted animal.
