Howard casually mentions:
>>I collect wood (and am a member of the IWCS - International Wood
>>Collectors' Society),

Welcome to the porch, Howard.  There are a number
of wood collectors lurking around here.  Some won't
admit it in public, some claim only a passing fancy
related to sport of OT, and others (like me) who
eschew the formal specimen size and dream of
completing the Tasmania wing of the collection
in bowl blanks.

Feel free to post wood gloats, wood inquiries,
FS notices on large pieces of uncommon
woods from Tasmania, etc.

And John innocenly inquires about turning pro:
>Is this for real or did you just make them up?
>I think I need to join.......

You go boy.
