TNhunter we are not on the 2nd and the 4th episodes we are on the 1st 3rd and the last 4 they had to do that because there was 5 different cast members and you can only show 4 in a 1 hr episode so they took turns with each cast.
I think that if the show goes to a season 2 the cast members will be separated some for better story lines etc.
Thank you TnTrader for that information. I am really interested in drying some for my own use also. I had never knows as TNhunter said and Hugh that they where worth any thing much but I am learning that they are. I doubt that I will ever do it to sell but I am wanting to try my hand at some wood work from them. I would love to see a wild cherry or black walnut like that.

That maple I posted a pic of has been drying for nearly two years. It has no checks, no splits and would sell for upwards of a hundred dollars as is. It has far more value as a finished piece. If I make two clcks from it they would likely go for around 250 each. Or, as I plan to do, I can turn a vase from it with an ebony or bloodwood base and rim and get about 600+.
Raw burl can be sold by the pound to a specialty lumber dealer but you would need a good bit to really make much money.
If you find some maple, walnut, or oak burl on your place , or hackberry wood , there are a few nearby cabinet shops that would pay well for it.
