Default Moon, baked, torrified and now TOTALITY ECLIPSED SPRUCE

Y’all have heard of moon spruce, baked spruce and torrified spruce, right? Well we now offer, what will surely be world famous, MORRAL, OH’s own “Totality Eclipsed Spruce”. It’s eerily quite special.

Mary also got in the spirit wearing her Aquarius necklace that I made for her a few years ago.

The problem is that you have about 4 minutes to harvest the wood. Move fast.

Good to hear Tim...cause I've heard that only spruce harvested under a full eclipse has maximum special properties. The effect diminishes proportionally to the % of totality under which the tree was felled.

No problem with my turbo charged, nitro burning Poulon Pro chain hack saw.

Boy are you correct and Mary's arms are really wore out from all that hand sawing.

I'm working on it Paul but I'm not much of a marketeer. That's Mary's department.

LOL, my iPhone pics taken through the library glasses were just a blurry blob. These pics were taken by our neighbor who is an amateur photographer and he KNOWS what he is doing with a camera, unlike me.

I think you might be right on that one.

I certainly hope so but I might have to enlist the help of my little green friends to make that DEADline in time.
