Title: Sleeping with my Lumber
Post by: Magicman on September 16, 2012, 04:18:43 PM
During my last road trip sawjob, I stayed with one of my previous customers.  He had just finished a bedroom using lumber that I sawed for him in March, so I slept with my lumber.   ;)

This is the Water Oak that provided the lumber for the wainscot.

It was all slabbed 1" and leaving as much live edge as possible.

Reverse B&B was used and the boards were carefully selected.

Even the door facings were live edged.

This provided a very interesting twist for using junk lumber.   ;)

And I guess that I should really apologize for making the above comment about a "twist for using junk lumber".

Sure, I have seen much better stuff go into the slab pile, but it is obvious that some stuff that goes into slab piles is usable in someone elses eyes.

Very nice. I've been thinking about wainscoting my hall.
