Strangely somehow it helps  to be looking in the sawdust for it.  :

Actually, I was the customer here.  The red oak timber came from two trees that tipped over on our woodlot, 1250 bd-ft rough.  We wound up doing and did something like 800 sq-ft of random width (3", 4" and 6") with plenty of high quality rough boards left over.

Oh yes.

A while ago, on the "what's you sawing thread" I posted some pictures of the fellow who brought some timbers in from the island of Nantucket off the southern side of MA.



 



 



 

Today, he send me a picture of the completed table he made out of the timbers:



 

I think it came out nice.

Nice looking table. I like it when I get paid for slab boards. :laugh:

A while ago, I posted some pictures of my mill cutting some 2" thick short pieces of exotic woods. Well the customer just emailed me some pictures of the first piece he made out of the stuff I sliced for him.

This one is Zebra wood:



  



  



  

This is a type of wooden bowl made by cutting the same piece on an angle with a scroll saw. Then you put the small side of one on top of the big side of the next one and they stack up.

It looks similar to those telescoping, jam-fit bowls only better. The procedure for cutting is as you describe, with the blade of the scroll saw set at an angle. A series of concentric cuts are made and then you lift on the outer ring and it all jams together and resembles a wooden ship with heavy planking. The amount of overlap for each section depends on the angle chosen for the cut.

The ones I've seen always had at least vestiges of the steps remaining, possibly because it's a lot of work to make 'em smooth and wastes quite a bit of wood.

The bowl you show looks slick! Stacking the sections after cutting would elminate the wasted wood of telescoping as well as reduce smoothing time.

I had a great time reading through 7 pages of your projects. I've been making things out of wood for 35 years, here is my latest project: (if I can get the files to upload)

Project started when I found a guy 10 miles north of my cottage that had Emerald Ash Borer come through and wipe out all his trees. He had the idea to slab it all and let it air dry. I came along a year later when he wanted the stuff off his property. I showed up in a Chevy Volt  ;D  Took a few trips but had it at the cottage.  There were additional trips with truck and trailer for a total of 3500 bdft.



I used this Ash for Kitchen cabinets, Laundry room cabinets, wood floors, dining room table and benchs, mantle, and the list goes on and on....

[Kbeitz]

Now that was a deal... Looks great...

[thecfarm]

Yes,it does look great!!

[fishfighter]

Very impressive.

[Magicman]

Beautifully done.   

[grouch]

That is some fine looking work! You sure went beyond just rescuing some wood.

[Bruno of NH]

Looks like an up town job for sure :) :)

[Lakehouse2012]

Thanks guys! I guess i missed the point about telling you that next project is to get the welder out and start building my own mill.

[Magicman]

Now you are really talking.   :P   8)

A customer stopped by this morning to show me what he did with the slabs from a tree where we hit nails a couple of weeks ago.  He was going to throw them into the burn pile with the slabs when I insisted that he keep them.


 


 


 
The nail is in the center of the seats.  He used an axe to remove the rotted sapwood which gave the project a "hewed" look.  His wife is happy.
