Ahh Chad Chinese elm is a weed. I hate Chinese elm and am glad to have it
out of my life. We had closed our realty deal and a wind storm came up. Our
house was surrounded by those (may i say it "bastard weeds") I looked out
our window and one by the house had split in half and was coming towards
our house. Thousands of $$$ on the line I got a come a long and strapped
it together and tied to a good ole sturdy pine.
I would cut down a Chinese elm and the next week there would be a sapling 3
feet tall. They eat septic systems, drop all kinds of crap on your house
and garden. Fire away my friend. You can't get rid of them fast enuff for
my liking.
So James is selling wood fire. I think he could fire his work in a
microwave and it would sell. Good work is always in favour. They like what
you like so if you like your happy colours they will like your happy
colours. I got a feeling you like your wood fire best so it's a no brainer.
They like you, your work and your opinion.
Still hoping Obama comes to my workshop.
