Thanks gang! Pin oak was on the tip of my tongue! From what I hear it’s great for smoking wood and high BTU firewood. I’ll split and stack a...
Finally cracked into that unknown oak species. Black oak I presume? It reeks like red oak but is way darker [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Parts are coming in for the new mill. 48” granberg, 36” 3/8 .050 bar shod in 63pmx low pro ripping chain. Hopefully the 85cc yonsered doesnt...
Finally got around to milling the nice 5ft black walnut log I had. Did 2” slabs on this, turned out real nice [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]...
Roadside marketplace listing. I thought silver maple at first but I'm not sure on this one. Weird how the one log has a big heartwood section...
I'm guessing you are going to say it was maple? That log was a potential one for milling so I didn't split any.
No guesses on this one?
The low pro skiptooth ate right through it, much easier to mill than the shagbark logs
Found a nice HL log to make up for it. Big day today, moving everything I’ve milled so far to my father in laws shed for drying! [ATTACH]...
Kinda disappointing black walnut slabs. Maybe epoxy table material with the big voids. LOTS OF ANTS [ATTACH][ATTACH][ATTACH][ATTACH]
Thought this was ash at first but then I saw the black specs in the sapwood that I thought was indicative of some other species that escapes me....
More honey locust?[ATTACH]
What about this guy? [ATTACH]
Some different looking white oak of some kind. Has much smoother bark than the other white and burr oak I milled[ATTACH][ATTACH]
Could have sworn this was honey locust, but the color and ring width seemed a little off…[ATTACH][ATTACH]
dammit, there was a crack hiding and I ended up milling perpendicular to it on the straight grain stuff. Even the knotty one seemed to crack...
2” for these since they are nice and clean. I found another one with more knots I may do at 1.5” for shelves. I have heard it’s easier to get...
She’s a hardwood alright [ATTACH]
Should I do 6/4 or 8/4 slabs? Figure I’ll do that to start then I can rip them down for handles if they aren’t pretty enough
More shagbark! Nice straight logs and I have plenty split already, might have to mill these two
