@Sprung - Matt sawing up the oak have a few preliminary pictures to toss up, and that's a pain in the ass in private conversation. Sent you a conversation anyhow with phone number, shoot me a text.
Thus far this is kinda what we're looking at...
1 5/8" full x 11 1/4" to just shy of 12" - May have to cut a few back to get them wrapped and in the box. Looking at large flat rate full easily, should give us 14 of the bigger ones, and I got no clue how many little ones yet, unless you want more bigger uns!
7/8" x 11 1/4" - 12" - Still working on these but had to come in the house for a minute so I figured I'd post them, so you can drool all over your keyboard.
Some of this stuff is wet. haven't checked it yet, but it's wet! Couldn't believe it was that wet as dry as it is here, but it is.
There is some checking on the ends of these, I've cut them back as far as I can and maintain length. If cast, they probably be OK, if not you'll probably lose an inch or two yet on the ends, unless checking continues to creep, which is possible with this stuff. I just honestly don't know what to tell you there.
Some of them are a little punky, stabilizing and/or casting I do feel they are all well doable. I'm gonna try the ones that got tossed in my box anyhow! The stuff that's a little punky, is of course the stuff with the most color in it.
Some bug holes as well, all appears OLD, haven't seen anything for bugs.
Didn't flip the 1 5/8" stuff for pictures yet, but several of those are still pretty good looking Red Oak on the back side. Spalting runs through about half the blank following radius on the growth rings from corner to corner. If turned, one side will yield pretty Red Oak, the other will yield moderate to pretty interesting spalting. Will get better pics of those. Several of them have dark streaks in them where pith ran out for branches and such, it is very attractive stuff, I think you'll be happy with it.
Will get you more pictures up when I get done sawing.
Have stretchy wrap to wrap them all up for shipping!
Shoot me a text or give me a shout when you get a chance.
