just trying to help out a friend

[slider]

Customsawyer came by to visit a while back and I took him to see a really nice oak that was probably free for the taking.I figured he would jump on this opportunity for a small challenge .It was around 5 1/5 to 6 ft diameter which I figured was no big deal to Jake,but he turned me down.I guess some people don't know how to make purse out of a sow's ear.

 

[Gadrock]

I heard through the grapevine that Jake could do that project easily...Quartersawn!

Carry on

[sealark37]

There could be snakes the size of your arm in that root ball!

[pigman]

I can see the problem for Jake. The log is not long enough. Jake likes big long logs.

[Nomad]

      Al, are you saying there's a log in that picture? :D

[Dave Shepard]

Well, there are logs, and then there are saw logs.  :D

[red oaks lumber]

some of my customers would call that veneer :D the 2 things you'll get from that thing(log) is slabs and sawdust.

Are you sure there is no firewood in there?
100% recovery  8) 8) 8) ;D

Jake is a very wise man.   

[red oaks lumber]

i didn't see any firewood in that thang :D :D ;D

[Magicman]

Nor did I.  Firewood is much easier to come by that tackling that.  Termites gotta eat too.   ;D

Don't show that to Poston,
he sells sows ears all daylong for $300 each.  ;D

No kidding ;D

[drobertson]

Stand it back up, maybe something good will happen,

[WDH]

Al,

I tried to help him too.  Referred a walnut log customer to him  .  Turned out it was not the best of walnut logs  .

Dont forget a headache!
