There is just some wood to nice. Right is cherry left is if im not mistaken black walnut . Going to drill some holes and use t candles from a local candle shop. Rough cut with my 260. Planed it down sanded and 3 coats of boiled linseed oil.
These are the cut offs and scrap pieces . The tree trunks are cut into 12 ft rounds . I have a good size pile of cutoffs in the barn . Most of the cherry I have been using in my smoker. Plan to by an Alasken mill this spring .
