Looks like peeled aspen to me. But then it could be trick photography. Good pics anyway.  :)

The continued unveiling of the great white log . . .



I've never seen these blue margins on the sapwood either. Copper in the soil maybe?  :P

I've seen walnut sapwood stained blue like that quite a bit after sawing. 

That kinda looks like walnut now that it's opened up.

Nail comes out nice, no sign of any more, clear face showing, knock the hangons off the teeth with chain file, make another cut and, whooee . . .



Second nail (by Austin's knee)  :-\

Is it still worth it?

Heck after that you might as well finish.  It'll only cost a few more blades and you're already into it by a couple.  Sure looks like some nice lumber!!!

Monkey blade is still cutting straight, if not a wee bit rough . . .

Let's file it just one more time and try our luck on the other side of the log . . .

and . . .



BANG! Fourth nail  ::)

Not cutting very straight anymore . . .



That's when the sawing stopped and the lubricating started  ;D :D ;)

Sawed the rest of the naily walnut with a used monkey blade--no more nails  :)
