Sleeping with my Lumber

[Magicman]

During my last road trip sawjob, I stayed with one of my previous customers.  He had just finished a bedroom using lumber that I sawed for him in March, so I slept with my lumber.   ;)


 
This is the Water Oak that provided the lumber for the wainscot.


 
It was all slabbed 1" and leaving as much live edge as possible.


 
Reverse B&B was used and the boards were carefully selected.


 


 
Even the door facings were live edged.


 


 
This provided a very interesting twist for using junk lumber.   ;)

You know MM It;s allways interesting to see what people think is beautiful

And I guess that I should really apologize for making the above comment about a "twist for using junk lumber".

Sure, I have seen much better stuff go into the slab pile, but it is obvious that some stuff that goes into slab piles is usable in someone elses eyes.

Very pretty to me.

Very nice. I've been thinking about wainscoting my hall.

is he worried about insects?   I guess i'm too much of a square to appreciate live edges
