New experiment for me.

[POSTON WIDEHEAD]

After 3 1/2 years of sawing and collecting slabs.....I'm getting lots of interest advertising "Dry Slabs".
A lot of folks want to work with wood in the building sense......but can't visualize what the finish will look like or even know how to finish a slab.....or may not have a planer or sanders.

I'm still selling raw slabs but now I have started advertising "finished" slabs.

So just in the evening when I get a chance after supper, I've starting dedicating my time to sanding 1 slab and start the poly or oiling the next morning before going to the mill.

I think sales will pick up......as it will give customer$ an option now.  ;D

I think it will help sell the unfinished ones for people who can't see/imagine what an unfinished piece will look like.  ;D  Good job. 8) 8) 8) 8) 8)

[goose63]

Those are good looking I see $$$$$$$  8)

[WDH]

The only problem is is (Tom) that the unfinished ones are $300, too  :D.

Poly on walnut?!?! 

YOU GRIT EATING HEATHEN!!!!

B.L.O. and wax brother!  ;)

(maybe some shellac if you need to fill the grain...)

[drobertson]

Lots more money out that way than here for sure, they look great!

[clww]

Looking great, David!
The slabs. ;D

[red oaks lumber]

nice slabs! where did you buy em? :D

[WDH]

How dry were they?

[Peter Drouin]

So are they round on the back side? And do you take off the bark?

There flat on the back side.

Peter, I didn't take the bark off....literally. I let these slabs air dry for 2 1/2 years under my Dads porch.
What bark came off naturally....came off. Any bark that stays on and is securely intact......I feather in the edges when sanding.

Danny, I could only get the MC down to 12% before OUR temps and humidity started rising. I put them in our dining room back in April and got it down to 8-9%. I built my Maple coffee table at 9% and it stills looks great.

I am going to add "grit-eating heathen" to my lexicon.

An elegant expression if I may say so.............. :D :D ;D

[WDH]

That says a lot  :D.
