Awhile back an acquaintance gave me a couple loads of walnut logs and a big o'l chunk of cherry. The cherry.... The first couple walnuts....
Some big o'l ugly oaks we slabbed for a customer a couple months back. Destined for fireplace mantles, stair treads, & a table top..
Did an order of 500 1x6x8 last month. Started with the ugly stuff to get it out of the way, and so I'd have better logs leftover for larger dimension lumber.
More of the same batch. Got em all cut..... And the customer getting ready to head back to Mississippi with the load...
Osage/hedge. Horribly hard stuff. Pics don't really show the color, this stuff is bright yellow when fresh cut.
