Whatcha Sawin' ???

[Lawg Dawg]

What are your plans for the shovel?

Doing a little clearing, widing my driveway for bigger trucks to get in, and knocked out a beaver dam

[Busysawyer]

Ld, can you send that thing up here when your done playing with it. 
Cut more walnut slabs today. Crotch wood coffee table size. 

 

 

 

 

 

[Jim_Rogers]

Sawing a worming pine log today to get some 5x5's out of the middle where it isn't wormy.
Third cut in and:



 

Cut two round edge worming slabs:








 

Don't know if they'll sell or sit here till they dry out.
We'll see.

Jim & Bs, that's good stuff. 

What happened to the Maple that went through your log deck?

[Stephen1]

Great bench backs Jim

[Busysawyer]

Mm, I opened it up and it was too far gone.  It was a bust, a lot of work for nothing.

 

 

 

[Magicman]

Looked like possible bowl blanks?

[Busysawyer]

You know mm that's what I was thinking. Take the chainsaw and cut blocks out of all the solid parts. There's a fair amount of solid wood in there. 

[Briankinley2004]

that slab could be a money maker if you filled the voids with blue epoxy and coated it all. Would cost a bit in epoxy to do this and would be a gamble but would probably sell

I was thinking the same thing except for the blue part.

[Just Right]

Solid black epoxy would make that look good!  Just my 2 cents.

[Busysawyer]

I thought about the epoxy slabs but the issue is there isn't enough there to hold the slab together. When I cut it pieces just fall everywhere.  I would have to box it up and assemble it like a jig saw puzzle. It could be done.  I'm saving that log but dont have time to mess with it right now

[No_Dude]

Honestly, for the folks who like the river look, that table is a huge win. Would make a great black epoxy table.

[Busysawyer]

Alright you guys talked me into it. I'll wrestle with that thing again and see if I can slab it.
Cut more pretty walnut slabs today. Honestly I'm sick of walnut but people keep gobbling it up so I'll give the masses what they want and slab walnut every day. Talk about boring.  

 

 

 

[Magicman]

Oh my, how Boring!!  

[Busysawyer]

Mm, I like the way walnut cuts, I like the smell, I like the look of the wood but variety is the spice of life. Cherry is probably my favorite out of what I have available to me.

[Andries]

..... Honestly I'm sick of walnut but people keep gobbling it up so I'll give the masses what they want and slab walnut every day. Talk about boring.....

Yep, that was the sound of Danny ( @WDH ) falling out of his chair. 
Heard it all the way up here in Canada.  ;D
He LOVES walnut, and that statement would never pass his lips.
Matter of fact, he may consider it irrational and just downright provocative.
Hope he doesn't take any notice . . . 
:(

[WDH]

DanG, picking myself up off the floor . 

[Busysawyer]

Geez, I like walnut just not all day every day. Just like chocolate cake, love the stuff but not everyday.  My mill says woodmizer on it not walnutmizer.

[WDH]

Sounds like to me that you are just spoiled :D :D. 

[Busysawyer]

I do feel spoiled. Walnut ,cherry, maple, hickory and red oak are prevalent around here. Wish we had red cedar,  syp and more white oak. I'd like to saw some of them as well.  

[Southside]

I will ship you some plantation grown SYP and toss in a few sweet gum logs to help keep your spirits up ;D.

[Magicman]

Plantation SYP and Sweetgum......That is cruel and unusual punishment. 

[Lawg Dawg]

Geez, I like walnut just not all day every day. Just like chocolate cake, love the stuff but not everyday.  My mill says woodmizer on it not walnutmizer.

Not a bad problem to have $$$ you in the money!

[YellowHammer]

Send me a truck here with some of your walnut and I'll send it back loaded with white oak.   :D :D  I'll even throw in a nice "putter" pine log or two for free.   :D

White oak grows everywhere here.
