Wow! Glad to see I'm not the only one that gets to tackle ugly logs.

Ugly logs can make some real nice furniture wood


 
then there is the old wooly mamoth who was ugly to rotate


 
and the flying elephants foot who was ugly on the owner wallet


 
an ugly log contest needs to have more then one catagory and lots of food prizes  ;D

I kinda like to look at ug-lee logs. but I REALLY like to see them opened up. Than the ug-lee turns into beautiful.

MM, do you get anything out of those? I have a handful of them and it's not real hard to just let them sit.

I believe Magicman has won this contest.
You may think that you can or may think you can't; either way, you are right.

Since no Walnut log can ever be ugly, I guess that this one has "character".  ;D

I have heard the myth that ugly logs are attracted to certain millers, birds of a feather, and all that!!!  8)

I will, however, openly admit that y'all turn out some stunning wood from those ugly logs.

MM bring them clear center logs up my way.  I need some of them to make stumpkins.  Now that I have people wanting stumpkins I can't get a hollow log.

Walnut.


 

And cherry.


 

These both ended up yielding some nice wood. Sadly they both had iron poisoning....

The iron poisoning is obvious at 7:00 on the Walnut log.   ;D

Looks like you are milling in the burbs. Did the neighbors come and watch?

I cut an ugly one today.  A log in the shape of a question mark.  I guess that the question is "Should it have been sawn or cut into firewood"?  Time will tell.

Kinda looked like Cherry to me. I like that pivoting log loading board. Is it patented?

Yes, chinaberry.  Ever seen a straight one?   ;D.
