I have mentioned the hackberry cobra board before on the forum. It met with an unfortunate demise before I could document it.

I saw this soft pine board at the ranch, and it reminded me.

I nominate this board to be the sickest, twistedest, most ugliest board I have seen so far (except for the cobra). I challenge all comers to defeat this board with an even sicker individual.

Let the games begin.

Somewhere in the world right now there is a guy building a canoe, and he wishes he had that exact board...   :D

Good call. Maybe some of the hickory, hackberry, elm haters have a bendy board. Eucs crinkle pretty good too if you get the right one.

The last ranch that I worked for would get units of cottonwood, green and stickered, that looked about like that within about 2 weeks of being nailed up. I would have swore that they were still growing.

Good call. We did some Fremont cottonwood out here that went crazy. Also had maggots that jumped about 3 feet in the air when we knocked off the bark. Also stinky like barnyard.

So let's see some of those funky boards. ;D ;D ;D 8) 8) 8) 8) 8)

Nicely bowed, WDH, but not sick and twisted enough. I do not concede to this hack.....berry. ;D ;D ;D ;D

I agree.  You are still in the lead  ;D.  But, don't give up on me yet.  I still have some persimmon and pecan to go through  :D.  If that does not work, I still have a little sycamore up my sleeve  :).

Here stands the second champion in a long line. Your greatness will be difficult to defeat. ;D

I certainly can't beat Fla._Deadheader, but this seems like it could be a contender on some level.  At a minimum I think it should get extra points for sinuosity.   :D



 

This is what you get when the stickers in your lumber pile don't line up with each other.  I'd just like to say for the record that I had nothing to do with the drying of this board or the 10 others I have that look just like it.     :)

Definitely 1st runner up quality. ;D

I know a guy with crooked boards too.    materhead smiley_biggrin01

Guyanasa. A softwood used as concrete form lumber. Most times they dry flat and straight.  ;D

Well, time to wake up this thread. Found this eastern redcedar board in my stack. Actually, pretty much the whole log looks like this, this one was just the best (worst) one. ;D

 

I thought ERC was supposed to behave itself. This one acts like a crooked pecan. smiley_devil

Maybe I'll make an art piece and claim I made it that way on purpose. ;D ;D ;D 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8)

Good one. ;D ;D ;D

Nope. Stickers were good. The boards just lifted them up as they dried. Also, the various boards were offset in the pile and all have the same curves in the same places. I've never seen ERC do this before.
