Cutting slab wood for a coffee table

cherry

It was a long day, and I was worn out. Unfortunately, I forgot the camera, so no pics from me.

The sassafras is a bit smaller in diameter, so hopefully, will cut more quickly.

Compared to cherry, sassafras cuts like butter! It is unusual to find good sassafras trees in these parts. Hope you remember your camera when you mill it.

I think the sassafras was 24"+ across the stump, 25'+ straight trunk, and solid.
