Mill 'em, nails be damned.
Lovely. Got any more pictures please? Is it stable on the water? Rows well?
What are you building with your milled wood? merged

Just finished a set of speaker carcasses with stands.. Used some bigleaf maple that I milled last year.. F
or this project I no bandsaw so I had to mill most things on the table saw and then reglue.. I ripped a 3" slab down the middle then cut 6" from each side, back thru the saw at 7/8", flipped all the pieces so it was heartwood on the outside before gluing. I really liked the natural look but the client wanted dark...

Some excellent work here fellas.
I've planned to do a rocking chair, all curved pieces cut as blanks. Pretty uncommon way of doing it i believe.
I've found I'm happier with rough projects than projects that never leave my brain. I'm currently on a VERY busy schedule however.

I've been in my shop quite a bit over the summer. Thought I'd share a few things I put together from wood I milled;
First is a cabinet made in the form and style of the famous cabinet maker Krenov. All dovetails were handcut and I used Norway Maple with Black Walnut. Drawer pull was carved from a piece of pear.
Next are two chairs, one made out of Black Walnut and one out of Black Cherry. Design is from Scott Morrison, these chairs have a really unique look and are perfect for putting in a corner since there are only 3 legs.

Wow. Lovely stuff. Just like we can tell a fair bit about a faller from the stumps they leave, your works speaks volumes. Thanks for sharing.

Latest projects, these were a challenge. Used Walnut, Cherry and Norway Maple. Got some great grain and figure as the tops of the stands were resawn from thicker boards, one reason I like to mill thicker boards.

Beautiful!
Replacement woodshed with 95% new milled wood from our own woodlot. Some donated wood from a local farm had charming bullet holes in it with plenty of lead remnants. Adds character to the wood.
That’s a nice shed you made nice job! I was thinking about milling up some wood and building a wood shed myself. Do you think it will work with half way seasoned lumber?

Dam Table
Backstory on this.... I have a client who makes apothecary items and recently she asked if I knew where any cottonwoods were for the buds..me being the nice guy that I'm said sure. Long story short, wacked three cottonwoods down next to a beaver dam, figuring that the buds will go to my client and the beavers would have the rest (as they were constructing a dam very close by)....Move ahead 3-4 weeks and i went back to see what the little guys had been up to..turn out the had pulled most of the trees away with the exceptions of a few bigger pieces.
Since i'm a creative type guy I grabbed the larger ''logs'' (6-12") and brought them home with the intention of doing something with them.... Move ahead to last weekend, wife bring up the conversation of our crappy deck table and since I build high end tables for clients ''why do we not have a ''nicer'' table''.. SO you can see where this went to ..
The top is fir left over from another project and the remainder is cottonwood (dark leg is actually wild cherry)[
.. I think the only thing I milled with my chainsaw is the logs and after that I ran everything thru my large bandsaw...
I'm happy , the wife is happy and i'm confident the beavers are content.
(yes..that is growth you see on the pics)View attachment 736522 View attachment 736522
