Sycamore project #3

I think Gadrock has a B.S., M.S. and maybe a Piled Higher and Deeper in Sensitivity.  :D

He's probably not feeling so fresh today.  :D

Here WDH is demonstrating the added nutritional benefit gained from drinking the purple stuff from the jugs seen in the background.


 
As you can see, Danny is really buff.   :D

Are you sure he wasn't making motorcycle noises?

[Magicman]

You didn't sneak any Hackberry Juice in the drank did you??  That stuff is known for elevating one's sensitivity.   ;D

[POSTON WIDEHEAD]

Y'all see Danny's eyes?.....thats the way y'all did me.....took a pic of me during a BLINK.
He just looks asleep.  ;D

[red oaks lumber]

[WDH]

Whatever was going on, Nomad is not convinced.

Danny, you look like you are teaching them guys " JUJITSU " and Nomad ain't buying it.  :D :D :D

[Magicman]

I tried to read his lips.  Something about "put up or shut up".  Now that ain't very sensitive.   :D

[WDH]

Gadrock looks like his feelings are hurt. 

[POSTON WIDEHEAD]

Actually, Danny looks like he is a bartender and their ordering Purple Drink.  :

Nomad looks like he's had his limit.  :D

[Magicman]

Gadrock looks like his feelings are hurt.   

I think that he is trying to figure out if that is gritz on your belly.   :D

[DanG]

Gadrock is VERY sensitive!

[Nomad]

     To tell the truth, Danny was talking technical and I was dozing off. :D

[Gadrock]

You may notice my secret positioning. Danny was getting an upper hand on the situation as I was distancing myself. It is an evasive maneuver I practiced for year while flying ag planes. That maneuver was increased at the beginning of my sensitive part of training.

But you guys are trying to break me down. I am not sure of the reasoning for this and I expect the meaning to surface soon.

[Texas Ranger]

Gadrock, it would be worse if some of this bunch just ignored ya,  8)

Welcome to the Purple Drank hole known as

The Sycamore Project

[backwoods sawyer]

You guys remind me of on Alabama sheep dipping contest ;D

Reasoning??   ???  I seriously doubt that anyone is even thinking.   FF rule, you have to wait 4 days.

Interesting results from some of the lumber sawn at this last Sycamore Project.  Here is a pic of the original stack fresh off the saw.  (Please note, I have already been scolded about the long stickers  ).



 .

Half of this stack was pulled down and put in the kiln.  A week ago, the rest of the lumber was put in the kiln.  This second pallet that went into the kiln was on the bottom in the kiln with another pallet of pine on top of it providing a lot of weight on the top layer.  Here are some pics of that second pallet.  The boards on the top layer were actually the bottom layer in the original stack. This top layer in these pics was on the bottom of the original stack with 20 layers of weight on top of it.

Here it is looking from the side.



 

The top layer was flat sawn, and the first board in the next to the top layer on the left.  The middle board in the third layer was also flat sawn.

Here it is looking from the end.
 


 

My experience has been that with sycamore, if you do not quartersaw it, don't bother  :-\.  I remember that Hackberry Jake had some good results by using it for roof laths put on green and nailed down.  I could not imagine using it for anything else. 

Oh, the joys of spiral grain  :'(.

[Magicman]

I also saw another propeller that Jake sawed that day. 


 
Da logs arrive.


 
Oooops.


    
He was on a roll.  :D

[POSTON WIDEHEAD]

Nice lumber Danny....do you deliver?  ;D

We've all had this happen.....you just had the guts to show yours.  :D :D :D :D

[WDH]

Just goes to show that weight will not tame spiral grain  . 

[JohnM]

Danny, once you are done planing those down you'll have some really nice sheets of veneer! 8) ;) :D

MM, those pictures are twisted!  (See how I 'spun' that?! ;D  ...I'll see myself out. :-[)
