Client is happy. He is sending photos outside his shop where he is going to stack and sticker the slabs.
Sorry not mine I was milling for a client. He is a project manager for a high end home builder and has been renovating a house and they took this tree down in the back yard and he had the tree guys leave it. He has a 2500 square foot shop and does extensive custom work on the projects.
I thought this would be a good pace to post this link, Jurrasic Bark: Underwater Logging in Lake Superior – Mother Earth News
That is cool. Was it cut fresh cut green or did it sit in log form to get some spalting/marbling? How thick are the slices and approximately how are the boards?
It got taken down last fall. No real spalting. Had some ambrosia beetle tracks and the burls. He asked for 8/4 slabs. The butt log yielded +/- 24" wide slabs and the second log 18" to 20". The photos don't do it justice. They are really spectacular. I got 7 good slabs out of the butt log. Asking price? The butt log slabs are about 12'. Kiln dried I could see someone asking a big number. Second log is 7'6" I told him he should consider paying to put it in the IDry that someone has in town and he could have them ready to go in a couple weeks and they would warp and check less.
