Morning everybody.

Picked this up yesterday. Mainly got it for the wood lathe.

That’s some strange stuff.

I’d say elm, but that bark is not saying that..

Agreed, the bark doesn't look like normal Elm.

All I can tell is that i don't think elm at all. Do you guys have any thornless locust down there?

It had pretty Elm-ish looking leaves, so probably not any type of locust.

For the most part our pigs only eat elm bark, so there's that as well.

So I've been looking at where my grandfathers vise sat on his bench and trying to figure out what it was based on bolt pattern and memory(what's left of it). Not many vises had 4 hold downs and fewer had rounded tabs. Looks like it was a Reed 204 or 204R swivel base. Frustrates me more when local people are posting about the meth heads are now stealing car starters, I am assuming for the copper in them to scrap. I guess everyone knows who it is as well as the police who basically ignore it anymore. One woman posted about her parents Christmas inflatables being stolen and found a block away hidden in the usual scumbags back yard. Catch, release, repeat is the modus operandi.

Side note taking a day for some fishing on the 14th on Stockton. Anybody want a boat ride let me know.
