What are you making with your milled wood?

[unclemoustache]

I’ve had a few little projects I’ve done so far, but nothing special.
I have a number of slabs that warped too badly to do anything with. I was about to split them for firewood when I got an idea.

Step stools!

Here’s a bomb stool.




Are here are some violin stools.
Some pretty grain there. Maple.

Nice.
I have nothing made yet but the wood is finally dry, well, most of it already cut and stacked. The goal is to sell 99% of it and use two maybe three large slabs and a few short ones. Moving on to cutting posts and beams now this spring.

Neat idea! I LOVE that Maple. Hard Maple? Air Dried only?

Nice Oak. We dont have that around here, some folks used it all up making dingys about 1k years ago.
Oak is hard and strong, but if you want that even fine fibre hard wood for your knife handles or lathe - its Birch.

Wow.

That looks spectacular. I have some maple that looks like that but it's smaller and I think it's too far gone at this point.

Just a little corner shelf.

This is from the first log I milled on my Woodmizer- small box elder. Finally got around to making the sign.
My dad’s name is Grover, and he bought the mill for me.
Some of you may have heard the radio drama, ‘War of the Worlds.’ The aliens first landed at Grover’s Mill, NJ.



My Airbnb. This was from some honey locust I milled.

How long do you need to dry freshly cut,milled Black Cherry before making something out of it ? I am planning on making a table out of some cherry ? And what do you seal it with to prevent cracking?

How did you dry it without splitting?

Time for my grandson to add another new truck to his fleet, this time it's a "hot tub hauler".

He lives in another state, and at 3-1/2 he is already car/truck crazy, so I make him a new truck or car every time I go see him.
