What are you building with your milled wood? merged

Here is the seat it is a simple weave on a frame.

Sold a 5200. Used scrap oak lumber milled from a tree the 5200 cut down to make a shipping box for the saw. Final shipping weight 60 lbs. Cost $36 to ship. Didn't think that was too bad.

Spent the weekend keeping an eye on my boys "Dad! Sawyer spilled a bowl of beefaroni all over Grandpa's couch" and in between putting out the little fires got started on shop milling slabs into face frame and solid panel stock. White Ash loaded with feather grain/tiger stripes. This is a paying job.

Target project. The tops and footboards will be solid Ash with an Ebony/esspresso finish. Won' be quite this big.

Do you have any more pics of this project? Looks great, time well spent in my opinion!
I am going to do a timber frame at some point and just trying to get some schooling :smile2:

Almost there

I posted some of these in a different thread, but here's pictures of some projects I've made recently.

Great work! This is exactly why I'm getting into chainsaws and mills. I just got a 066. The 36" bar and alaskan 776 is in the mail. Along with a ripping chain.

I milled some cottonwood. I know it's not the greatest wood to work with, but it was such a big old tree trunk I simply couldn't waste it. As long as it stays out of the weather it should do great. They used to build barns with cottonwood back in the day.

Sorry tangent.

I'll try and put up a photo. The wood is still drying...can't make anything with it until it dries. It ought to shrink a lot.

Ok Dan a year from now when you are done your barn, pack up your gear, I would luv to have a barn like that.

That barn is phenominal

A little more progress on the barn.

Wind bracing and girts. That's what takes all the time.

Then the siding goes pretty fast.

One more wall of siding remaining, then the outside will be done. Still lots of bracing to do on the inside, though. I've got about $2500 into it.

It is #####in. Am I allowed to say that?

Traditional tool, do you have any info on how he cut those curved timbers? I like the effect!

I recently finished building this mesquite dining table for a client complete with turned bowls. It is 10' long by 48" wide by 12" thick.
There is a pictorial write up of building it on my website under the Building a Table tab. www.wix.com/billstuewe/billswoodshop

*I logged 112 hours working on this table over a six week time period, not including many hours of help from friends
99 ½ hours were spent grinding the bark and sapwood off, planing, epoxying, assembling and sanding the table, 12 ½ hours finishing it

*4 ½ gallons of epoxy were used to fill the cracks and voids and stabilize the punky areas. A quart of thin super glue was also used to solidify the punkiest areas prior to filling with epoxy

*8 coats of Waterlox were applied to all surfaces (approximately a gallon total) These were applied by hand, rubbed in, then wiped off, building the lustrous finish. After the final coat, the top was hand rubbed with 0000 steel wool, sanded through 1500grit sandpaper and then buffed
(Time-wise, 16 coats were applied because once 8 coats were applied and dry all the parts were turned over the other side was finished with 8 coats.)

Too right, I would be real proud of something like that.

If a curved guide board (ie curved steel plate) and narrow chainsaw bar is used it is possible to CS mill those curves.
