Question, do you dead stack off of the mill, cut and anchor seal and then sticker stack them?
Quote from: caveman on June 07, 2018, 11:07:42 PMQuestion, do you dead stack off of the mill, cut and anchor seal and then sticker stack them? Yellow, having 20" quarter sawn white oak, is like gold...money in the bank. (as you know). I believe anything over 12" is a rarity. Check out quartersawnoak.com. For high-fleck boards, the price is $4.50/bf for under 8", but $27.20 for 16'+!! Martha wants a new pair of shoes. So, I wonder what kinda multiplier my curly, wide quarter sawn should demand. (it's 16" or so)
For 16" wide, curly QSWO that is kiln dried I'd think that you could net $20. bd ft or more for 5/4. You have to be prepared to sit on it for a while though until the right customer comes along. Best to mill a little thicker than normal too.
Seems like it would sell better as 9/4?
Robert, those are beautiful quarter sawn boards. Question, do you dead stack off of the mill, cut and anchor seal and then sticker stack them? One more question. This is for any who do a lot of quarter sawing. What is the minimum diameter log that you typically quarter saw?
As the most recent newbie to FF, this is my very first input. I just went through this entire thread, watched every video and went through every pic. What I learned about quarter sawn techniques is of huge value. Thanks. But, I do have a challenge that I hope you can steer me in the right direction. I have a sawmill supplier of Sipo Utile in Cameroon, Africa. These logs start at 30 inches and go to 60 inches. I need them only quarter sawn in 12/4 and 8/4 thicknesses. I have sent my guys at the mill over there hand drawn drawings, web pics and even a Frank Miller basic video of quarter sawing. Between the French / English translation and their antique methods of sawing, I am not getting through to them. Does anyone know of a "quarter sawing 101" either video of manual - or even course material somewhere that I can send them to start them off in the right direction? They do have both vertical and horizontal band saws - and lots of manual labor. They seem to be real experienced, and confident - but only in what they know. Please help if you can.
