Congrats! That is a boatload of ERC! Be sure to show us a few things you make out of it. Chuck
Mark - Do we know of any end-grain photos of this species on-line? Just curious about identifying. I Googled it, but nothing is coming up in my search.
I found 1endgrain shot on Mr. Hinds site hobbit house. Mixed in with other laurels.
Was wondering what that stuff looked like on the inside. Always got in trouble rubbing the seeds real fast on my jeans and then touching the hot bean to a girl's arm. Lil Mikey was a bit of a rascal!
Okay- thanks. I’ll check it out
Inside Wood has a great cheat-sheet of data but no pictures listed.Okay- thanks. I’ll check it out
We rubbed them on concrete or a hard caliche rock. They do get hot! I did use other methods to meet girls though.

It's great to have buddies with equipment!
Just unloaded a little bit ago. Should last for a bit. Walnut.

Congrats! Lots of good lumber there! Chuck
There'll be some. This was from one tree. Pieces a logging company left. Some of the ends are hollow so I guess that's why they left them. Those chunks I don't know why they were cut. To me it looks like they will have some good figure in them but I'm assuming the loggers just cut them off the ends of what they kept.
Big tree, the long sections couple of them are roughly 18 inch diameter.

The chunks are likely length trimmings where they had a defect that would have scored the log a grade or two lower and actually brought less money for a longer log.
Well, hopefully I'll be able to get a few nice bowls out of all of it.
Those defects are likely what a wood Turner refers to as "highly figured". I suspect you will get some of your best pieces from the foresters waste blocks!
Is that the correct term "Forester"? Around here we just call them loggers.
More from the same boxelder log :)
Thank you Verizon for clearing your lines! Cut and stacked along the road.
Three of us from the turning club retrieved what we could.
Have I mentioned how heavy fresh cut walnut is?
