Very nice!

Pics 3 and 4, looks like you are cutting the slabs pretty thin, slab 5 is thicker. You have something in mind for them already, or just cutting up a variety of thicknesses?

Thanks man.... I am going to make some big one piece tables, i did manage to sell some off for other peoples projects, my brother wanted a counter top, the customer who's trees i took down wants some barn doors so i guess that explains the various sizes you see... i am going to post the bench that's now a permanent fixture in the neighborhood

Looks great - thanks for posting.

it is a 3120 .. and BobL you may not remember but i asked you a bunch of questions about a year ago before i set up my mill. I chump out and got a mk3. I am sure you helped me answer some questions but your pics and other people pics inspired me. I am a visual person. some times all it takes is for me to see that it can be done and i want to do it. In short.. you are welcome for the post but THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR POSTINGS... its easy to take pics on my celly and they come out pretty good i will continue when there is something interesting like this going on.

BTW how was the bar sag?

Thanks for posting

thanks...

bar sag... i didn't measure it... it was there though.. i used some scrap piece of wood just to hold it up to get it started.. all in all they appear to be flat.. i am sure when they are stickered and dehumidified they can be squared up a tad but will need planing and sanding ect.... i'll check it out...when i get a sec. the bar belly is nice and fat so i am sure that helped it stay up for a lil bit. I'll take a pic of the bar so you can check it out...
