This inspired me to go to the web, find the local apple orchard contacts and see if they have wood. I did find one particular one that got right back to me. They advertise that they grow organic, thus the trees/wood will be free of nasty pesticides (that's the theory). It's a short drive from San Diego to Julian for FREE apple and pear wood!!! I'll post a pic when I get it!
THANKS FOR "SPARK'N" A GOOD IDEA :clap:
