I was testing my new bandsaw, jointer, and planer on a chunk of 1-2 year old unsplit firewood in my firewood stack, and found I really like the look of this half rotten oak. So, I pulled the other pieces from the same tree to let dry inside and stop rotting. I figured this wood would look best in 1" wide strips perpendicular to the grain, or 1x2" blocks containing both heart and sap wood for making patterns.
I might think twice about letting rotten logs go to the dump. I might even season more oak like this on purpose. I do have some boards made of only the rot wood too.
Anyway, I figured I might try one of the mini 20" chainsaw mills for now, then build a 40" based on what I do and don't like about the small mill.
