An absolutely beautiful slab. Well done, sir.

 

[Slabhappy]

Nice one.


I'm going to be trying out my 084. Picked up several more bars. No nice logs have crossed my path lately :-(
Found a bunch of spalted wood. Weather's been crazy.

Thanks all, I have to say the House sure inspired me to achieve what I can do now.

Some milling of ash for a customer onsite

 

[Raj]

Nice colour!

 

[Slabhappy]

I'll get some new pics up next week.

 

[Burnham]

Sweet slabs, Pete. Very pretty.

 

[ruel]

That's some cool heart wood.

 

[BlackSmith]

Very nice. I need to make time to do some milling. Some of the logs I’ve cut into firewood bring a tear to my eye, not to mention the 90 just sitting there looking all hungry.

Preparing a shed build with true 4 by 4 and 4 by 8 headers milled from an ash I took down a month ago in my backyard. Might be a bit too nice for a shed but it is free lumber.

Dunno how familiar you are working with ash, but you might want to predrill your holes to prevent splitting. Might be too nice for a shed, but it beats turning it into firewood.

 

[Raj]

Nice!

Some more ash today. 28" wide by 9.5'.

 

[lxskllr]

Any plans for it Raj?

Getting some logs moved to the mill for a tractor barn project.

I love seeing wood milled out and used.
Nice work gentlemen

Any plans for it Raj?

It was a job for a customer. Apparently there is a shortage of hardwood for businesses around these parts.

 

[Tree09]

Sounds like an opportunity!

 

[Raj]

I'm always trying, most Facebook buy and sell groups are closed down, and people are shaming businesses that are still operating, FFS. They even have snitch lines set up.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

You aint kidding. One of our friends had nothing better to do than some spring cleaning and down sizing while her and her daughter are stuck at home. Listed her giveaway items for the taking, they would be placed out side. Address furnished if interested. Free.
They jumped all over her shat.
She even posted, "if you are already coming this way."

 

[Dave Shepard]

Milling some toothpicks.

 

[Patrick A]

Nice log. I wish I could get more than 12 ft straight of hardwood in the NorthEast. Every Ash, White Oak and Maple log I milled so far did not stay straight for more than 12 ft. Anything longer had a twist.

Patrick did you see the old growth redwood milling pictures put up in the "The Official Work Pictures" forum? Worth seeing. And the shake pictures.

 

[ruel]

It happens, gotta keep your eyes peeled and be able to move/ mill stuff

Friend lent me this little Baker 18M mill that had been sitting unused for a few years. Engine took a bit of love and parts to get to finally run.

This Woodmizer is at a kid's camp in Costa Rica. I whacked some cypress there last Jan for a building project.
The fellow that owns the mill removes the engine from it every night so that 2-legged vultures dont cart it off...
