Milling redbud

[chatometry]

Chainsaw-milling some redbud provided some very nice views! Sadly the color won't stay, and there is no curl, but rather just a chainsaw pattern on the surface...

Cool pictures. Even if the beauty is fleeting, and somewhat an illusion, it's great that you captured the moment.

Very nice!

I’m jealous. Even though I know it won’t look like that later.

Well, it could. If he leaves it like that, could just use epoxy clear and do a leveling pour.

Leave the chainsaw marks and use a poured epoxy finish. Maybe a river table top or a charcuterie board .

Interesting suggestion! Thank you!

In my opinion redbud is underrated as a turning wood.
