Pulled out some 4" thick walnut from my house, decided to flatten and sand it since it's finally a nice (not raining) day. People always tell me I need a big shop. I say no shit, eh. 25-32" wide 50" long. About 3" thick.
Nothing spectacular but I turned a small dry apple log I've had for a few years into 4.5" diameter 6" long lamp base with holes for small tools. The lamp shade was left on my front yard by a methhead, I replaced the lamp socket and added a cord.
I milled some willow last year, pulled it out of the kiln. I milled it 4" thick, came out 3 1/4". Doesn't look bad. In the old country it was called gypsy wood (good for nothing wood). I have some smaller pieces that I am going to sand and see how it takes oil finish.
Nice bar and table!
I did a little fooling around in the shop today. Testing out a chain drive on my router sled. Hope it will speed things up, or at least easier on my back pushing and pulling the router sled.
Some crotch pieces left over from some other custom boards, I filled the cracks and bark inclusions with polyester resin and set them aside for future use. Someone messaged me wanting a small counter top for a laundry room, my left overs fit the bill.
Tung oil finish.
Some charcuterie boards, hope they sell. The apple is 8" wide by 16" long. I cut the tree a couple years ago, not much was millable, I did save the good stuff, now it's dry, and not all that cracked!
