Title: Sycamore slabs with the CSM
Post by: mmartone on July 05, 2014, 01:51:29 PM

We cut a decent sycamore this morning with the 3120, about 35" across. I'm hoping to use one of the 3" slabs for an island top in my kitchen, someday. My first piece of it and its pretty, I think it and sweetgum are two of my favorites! Jack and I slabbed up a little river birch crotch yesterday, has a little spalting in it.

Hopefully, they won't warp. Sycamore can be hard to trust.

Get it stickered ASAP! I milled some sycamore Friday and when I stickered it for air drying on Saturday, it already had mold growing on it!

The trials and tribulations of the small lumberman.

I, too, am so inflicted.
