It always seems to work this way. You look all over for some good grained lumber when building a fancy project but can not find any. The other day at the hunting shack I was splitting some dry ash firewood, and figured I would keep a chunk to make into a mold whacker. Just some old firewood,for a project that would get beat up right away. So I brought it home and turned it up, and you might know, it has a beautiful quilted grain. It was hard to smack the mold with it the first few times. But I guess you might as well enjoy nice looking wood, even if you are going to beat it up.
