New Price!! Year Old, Hard-to-Find Black Mulberry Wood Slabs - $20 (New Berlin)

Attention carvers, sculptors, and creators of wood products! We have incredibly beautiful, fresh cut, trunk slabs from a Black Mulberry tree that was nearly 40 years old! These slabs range from 9 to 13 inches thick. The shapes and sizes of each slab vary, with the largest being an average of two feet in diameter. You may have your choice of any slab for $20.00 each. Other sizes are available, and we are ready to bargain. We offer easy access for pickup and loading. (I've just added two photos to show the entire lot, and to show how the wood turns a wonderful dark honey color as it ages.) The tree was taken down in November, 2012, so it has had a year to dry already.

CLASSIFICATION: Black Mulberry is a medium-density hardwood (specifically:
Morus nigra; and generally: Morus citrifolia of the family
Moraceae). The Black Mulberry is not native to North
America. It was imported from Europe.

WOOD TYPE: Fruitwood.

COLOR: The sapwood is a bright yellowish- orange color, with occasional streaks of black and dark brown. The heartwood is a light tan color. The color of mulberry tends to turn brown with exposure to sunlight. Very similar in appearance to osage orange.

SEASONING: Mulberry dries with very little degradation in the wood.

DENSITY: Mulberry is a medium density hardwood, weighing about 40 pounds per cubic foot.

GRAIN: The wood of the Mulberry tree has a straight, closed, very tight grain.

TYPICAL USES: Mulberry is used in the manufacture of sculptures, small furniture, ornamental spindles, vases, bowls, candy dishes, platters, wooden board game pieces, wooden pens and other small turnings, wooden buttons, plaques and signs, carved key ring fobs, barrettes, jewelry boxes, cutting boards, veneer, furniture inlay and trim, etc.

WORKABILITY: Black Mulberry is easy to work with --- a wonderful wood for turning on a machine lathe, or for hand-carving.

FINISHING: Mulberry wood sands well, and can be polished to a high luster. Apply
a clear coat to protect the incredible colors and grain patterns.

AVAILABILITY: Hard to find, and usually available in very limited quantities.


If you are interested in a piece (or several of them), reply by e-mail, or give me a call on my cell phone and ask for Jean, at 262-309-8421. You may have your choice of slab for the $20, any 10" round of your choice for $10, and we will consider offers on the smaller pieces, if you would like additional pieces for carving, turning for handles, etc.

Not a laugh, but I thought I'd share it
Vintage Bachtold mower with saw blade - $250 (Morris,Ill.)

Vintage Bachtold mower that is probaly from the late 50's or 60's. I am selling this mower as a COLLECTORS OR CURIO TYPE ITEM DUE TO OBVIOUS SAFETY CONCERNS not as a working mower to be used on a regular basis. I have played with it cutting small trees and brush that is all. This mower can easily cause some serious harm to the body.

You won't find to many of these mowers with the saw blade attachment . They were mainly used on small Christmas tree farms for harvesting Christmas trees. You can turn the head to a 90 degree angle and in theory cut wood with it but I have never tried it and would use extreme caution if I tried to do this.

Overall the mower is in good shape and works good for it's age. Engine is an 8 hp Briggs that I had to inter mix some parts from a donor engine It does start good, holds a good steady idle, accelerates good but smokes when going from idle to full throttle. I did away with the points and condenser and installed a Briggs coil that does not require points and condenser. The starter rope was a little slow going back in but I think this is due to the cold weather because it didn't do that before when I used it a little last fall. Drive belts are like new.

I was going to give the mower a paint job but that is not going to happen so I am selling it as is.

I am including the guard shield along with a mower blade. The grass blade is worn . I did put an edge on it. I have given the saw blade a light touch up with a hand file just to give the blade an edge. I don't have the knowledge or tools for a proper sharpening.

I have described this mower to the best of my ability. I can be reached by e-mail if I ever check my mail. It is best to call 815-942-9232 for any questions. Please leave message if no one answers. I will get back to you. The mower is located at my residence and has to be picked-up . I live in Morris,Ill. in the area commonly known as south of the Illinois River

That look really cool Cheesecutter! If it was just a little closer, I'd drive down just to take a look at it and maybe see if he'd dicker a bit on the price. I can't see actually using it, but it's a pretty neat little thing regardless. I'd bet somebody will snap that up pretty quickly.

 

[Cheesecutter]

Doesn't that look like something you would force your redheaded stepchild to play with? I would imagine OSHA inspectors faint at the sight of it. I agree, it is a neat looking machine. It looks wicked, but I've never seen anything like it.

When he says "late 50's or 60's" he must be talking 1850-60!

I am looking for someone that wants willow tree wood. However, there is a catch! You have to cut it down and you must be insured. Believe me, this tree is huge! I am looking for someone to do this in spring / summer. Let me know if you are interested. Thanks!!!!

He's holding that up like if its a skunk.

 

[cat10ken]

Talking about the mower with the saw blade; the Amish around Cashton, Wisconsin aren't allowed to use chainsaws and they use walk behind saws like this for firewood cutting. They turn the blade horizontal to cut down the tree and then vertical to cut blocks off the log. They cut a lot of wood in pole length and haul it near the house and then use a buzz saw to make it firewood length. They actually are manufacturing new saws like the one pictured. They seem to me to be a huge accident waiting to happen!

TRADE: craft beer for firewood (Oregon, IL)

I've been brewing beer for about 10 years -- IPAs, red ales, stouts -- in Corny kegs that hold about 50 pints. At $3.00 a pint, that's $150 worth of beer, which I would trade for a face-cord of hardwood firewood.

If you have a ton of firewood and spend money on good beer, I have a ton of good beer and spend money on firewood. Let's trade.

 

[coog]

I think that's a pretty fair trade. I'd take him up on it. I've traded lots of stuff for wood; paintings, lawn tractors even chainsaws.

I thought it wasn't too bad of a deal myself, just a little different is all. I got a chuckle out of it and thought I'd share.
