Got some sawin done in the last two days. Not nearly as much as i wanted, but dad life comes first. Lol.
Did some 1/2” red oak with massive ant damage. This stuff has some amazing color… probably clean some up and just frame it. Lol.
Also did a couple maple logs; did one all live edge then cut myself some carving boards from the second. 3/4“thick and nearly 8” wide each.
Also slated up an ugly chunk of hickory. Tons of rot and spalting and color. Would need to be stabilized, but would make great small tables or bar tops.
Also did a cherry Id been wanting to slab up for a while. Got several 3/4 boards for carving or charcuterie boards as well as 5- 2” thick beautiful live edge slabs.
Got some more black walnut listed on eBay, more coming later tonight. combination of thin (1/2”) and thicker (1 1/4”) live edge boards.
Gonna try and slab up that big cherry log tomorrow. It’s about 9’ long and 21” at the butt end (crotch is trimmed to 23”); but has a crack in the base. Hoping that only runs up a foot or so… I’ll do some video, I think, of a few of the cuts tomorrow. Maybe go live… we’ll see how the day goes!
