Sycamore project #3

[Dave Shepard]

I agree about the quarter sawing. We had a lot of degrade in the flatsawn stuff, and any way, it's boring, so we try to avoid sawing any.

[Peter Drouin]

Small logs will spin, Unless you go slow and they still might.

WDH to bad the lumber did not come out right, Is that snow the background I see?

[Andries]

Propellor sawing, quarter sawing and Purple Drank.
The Sycamore Project seems to be a ton of fun!
Has CustomSawyer sent out any details for the 2015 event?

[slider]

I don't know the date yet but rumor has it that there will be two people there with propeller booths set up displaying there fine craftsmanship.

[WDH]

Who knows, you might get to fly away (if you drank too much purple drank.). 

[POSTON WIDEHEAD]

Slider was flying last year and DanG was his co-pilot.  :D :D :D

I want Slider to come landing in there with that GOLD TRACTOR truck.

Together or separate, can't go wrong with either of those.

[POSTON WIDEHEAD]

Which ever way Julio plans to fix it. If you've never tried Julio's cooking, then you know its so good it'll make you SLAP JAKE!  :D

[customsawyer]

Alright I can take a hint. I have been informed that I must find a log. I just can't figure out why someone else can't bring a log. (hint Danny)

[julio]

Sounds good to me  8)  I'll do the cooking , Poston you do the slapping !

[Ocklawahaboy]

Don't you love it how the entire forestry forum just invites themselves to your house .
If you weren't such a great host, we'd eventually give up and quit that.

[WDH]

@Jake, we need another log like this one (hint):

Cool pics ! 8)

[mikeb1079]

seems like there's one guy in particular who's doing most all of the work in those pics.   :D :D

[mesquite buckeye]

How about this one?

 

[wildbill]

He will let you do the work, but you have to wear his hat

[scsmith42]

Danny, why are you limiting yourself to such small logs???   :D

[POSTON WIDEHEAD]

Danny, why are you limiting yourself to such small logs???   :D

.....because he has to keep Jake's back in mind. 

[customsawyer]

Alright I was talking with Dang last week and he had a brilliant idea. I think for the next project we will do a quarter sawing demo on one log and then do some pine after lunch. The pine will be a two fold demo. One for the best ways to get 2X lumber out of a pine log and then a few more for the best way to get production out of a mill. Does this sound as good to the rest of you folks as it does to me?

[POSTON WIDEHEAD]

A variety of sawing activities will surely be interesting. Thats a good idea Jake. 

[Ocklawahaboy]

Did y'all saw something last year? That whole day is clouded in a haze of good food. 

But, yes, that sounds interesting.
