Your pictures didn't show up in the post, only links. When you're in your gallery and have selected the photo scroll down and there's a button that says insert picture into post. With your cursor in your post in the place you want The picture, go back to your gallery and hit the insert picture and post button. It will insert it where you left your cursor in the post you were writing.

That does look like some "highly valuable black walnut". If I had it I would Mill it into 4 x 8 braces or slab it for table tops if it's a butt log with root feet. Be ready to find nails in that butt log though.

I wonder if the black powder trick could split that in to 4 sections for the LT-15. I own the lt-10 and always curious if it's really as easy as the YouTube videos show. Following this thread.

I`m not sure about black powder but I`m sure Dennis and his Peterson mill can knock it down to size, I have to get them all gathered in one spot first....there will be pics
