The only kind of logging I do is scrounging, but I got a worthy find today. Have noticed a pile of weathered old tree parts that were pushed out to the edge of a gravel road, evidently from a nearby property. decided to stop today and look it over as I was looking for something to turn, and I spied this slab, weathered gray, but once I tried to lift it, I knew it was Desert Ironwood, so it came home with me. I skinned off the outside with a power hand planer, looks pretty good inside, and pretty check free considering.... it is 5 feet long, 10-14" wide and 4.5 thick, I'm thinking it was milled for a fireplace mantle. Not sure what I will do with it, but it is a nice piece to have in the hoard...
