What's everyone do with their slabs?

[WV_hillbilly]

 Ron Why yes I have . We have a time share condo by Cannan State Park . We Go the week before Memorial Day and The last week in Oct. That way we get to trout fish some of the best times of the year , and in the fall the leaves are real pretty.We have family that lives in Bartow , Durbin Dunmore, and other parts of Webster , Greenbrier, and Pocahontas counties.I've been to Cass probably 25 times and I'm only 33years old. I have some good pics from this year. I'll try to post them soon.I've also watched people climb up Seneca Rocks many times. I don't understand wanting to do that. To me I lump it in with Bungie jumping , parachuting and other extreme sports. Beautiful scenery down there just not many well paying jobs , If it weren't for the job thing I'd probably live down there.

Deadheader   I 'll get in touch with you on price and a time frame for one of them. I have one a little smaller that is shaped like an arrowheadright now . The one in the picture is already spoken for.I don't varnish those pieces I use spray on polyurethane. I just said varnish cause most people can identify with that.

Hillbilly have you ever tried doing any logging scenes?

Hillbilly,

Do you use a pattern or freehand the scenes. My wife is a good hand with a scroll saw and a slab of cedar with somthing like that on it would sure look good on my wall.

I forgot to mention the Cass Scenic Railroad,  the Cranberry Bogs Natural National Landmark, Summit Lake, Sherwood Lake, The New River Gorge (the daring use to parachute off the bridge crossing the gorge right after it was built) , The Geenbrier, Snowshoe etc. West Virginia has a lot of unique areas.

We lived in Richwood, W VA ;1974-78; on the Ranger Station there on the Cherry River while I was the Gauley District Ranger on the Monongahela National Forest.

There also was a Boise Cascade Mill in Richwood along with the GP Mill. It went out during the clear cutting controversy there.

The Nation's Bi-Centennial Capital Christma Tree came from up on Kennison Mountain in 1976.

After all of the calls I got in past years, I decided to run another ad for my slabs...and charge a little more for them.  About a month ago I put an ad in the paper.  They will let you advertise for free for anything less than $100, so I ran an ad for hardwood slabs @ $30 per truckload delivered, with three available.  Sold those right off the bat, and started a list of people wanting them.  Now I can take the slabs right from the mill and into the back of the truck and deliver them when I'm done for the day.  

Also found a guy that does scrollsaw work, and he is buying all of the this pieces I make when truing...trueing...true...uh, making a face square or flat  :D  I'm hoping to have him make me something for the house.

One man's trash.... ;)

The hardwood slabs I cut  between 18 to 24" and sell them at 50.00 a pickup load.  Two dump truck loads of pine  went to the high school for the school football bonfire. The rest of the pine I give away to whoever wants to load and haul them away.

I made a *örhrummmmm*  Sågbock tonight. Think you say öööööööööh ?????? horse......eh.... something.
A box without walls in the ends, 16" high, 14" wide and 14' long. The boards are vertical, 1x6" and some space between them.  I´m going to buy a chan saw, cut the slabs and try to sell some fire wood.  8)
