Another winner Dave.

Since the bigger bowl post I have been looking into Prunus virginiana, or Choke Cherry. Seeing pics of the plants, bushes. I had some of this growing at the old place. It was bought at a tree auction, and marked simply as Cherry. It became quite bushy, and didn't look like it was going to grow into anything usable in my lifetime, so I pulled it out. Bummer....

Seeing this wonderful looking wood, and that monster pith, I am looking for some that got itself large enough to be considered a board or 4. I would like to make a box, or some kind of smallish cabinet. 

I have enough land to plant another sampling, not sure how fast it would grow, but I am probably going to find out. :-) Getting to be the time of year to order it for shipping this Spring.
