I find unique timber and cut it up
I haven't been sharing like I should, after all....I think some of y'all got me into the hobby anyway! So while I was waiting on some oven baked pork chops and the 'taters to cook, I thought I'd grab the camera and toss this piece onto the mill! Don't get to excited, I didn't have but 4 passes with the mill before I was getting told to cean up for dinner, but what I did see was a few nice pieces to start this one out right!!!
Pignut Hickory!
Okay, I might have bitten off more then I could chew on? But where there is a will, there is a way!
Much better! Just rotate the 2900lb girl on her side(ummm, that didn't sound quite the way it should....but y'all know what I mean)
Ah, there'll be some nice slabs here. The secret to getting this type of grain structure is laziness! That's right, let this girl sit on the ground for almost 1-1/2years!
And finally some close-up's of the nasty!
Yes, I had to do a little whittling with the little MS250 18" bar to get past a few of the wider spots in the log. So most of these pieces are max'd out at 18-ish inches across. I'll roll this on again to get the rest of the cuts as 'book matched sets'.....make for some nice table tops!!!
What y'all think.....about $2.75board foot sound reasonable?
