This one was a ton of fun to get on the trailer. Not sure how it's coming off yet but I couldn't pass it up. The red in this log looks pretty promising. Looks like this one may be my sawdust victim next week.

Nice chunk of wood. Box Elder is the majority of what I saw anymore. That should make some nice projects for darned sure.

That thing ain't just ugly it's oogly

. Should be some nice streaking in it though.

I'm hoping there's some nice figure in it. I've never milled any and I've never worked with any of it so this should be fun.

The one log I did warped like crazy. I cut it in 2" boards, had about 6 of them and burned all but one. Could have been poor technique; it was one of the first logs I cut.
