Naw, I like it better just picking out what I want....You reckon you know which shop? They probably would dump at your house once to save the cost of dump fee...
What free wood did you find today?

That looks like the mill rippings place that I found. Very cool!
Well here's the elm I got last week. Peeled the bark on one and this little fella jumped out. But the reason I posted is, here is a fresh cut piece from the other day and now that it's dried for over a week. Guess that answers my question if the streaks will stay...NOPE!
Yea. Kinda bland now. But its a pretty brown
I got this nice Bradford pear trunk. It's almost 48" in diameter in places. My in-laws decided it was time for the tree to go, so I got all of the free wood I want from it. I really wish I had access to a mill right now. My chainsaw is hating me.

Yes I have it ready to go. I suspect I'll still have a good bit of checks to deal with

Yup, it's a fruit wood. Try and rough turn a couple if you can and bage em with its own chips to slow the dry time down.Yes I have it ready to go. I suspect I'll still have a good bit of checks to deal with
Found a 6foot plus x 12 inch cherry log in a local waste pile. Thin cut a bunch of waste off it for little box projects or epoxy tops that dont take 3 gallons per side table. Couple of 1 inch slabs and a couple 2 inch slabs. One of my 2 inch has ant tunnels. The crotch had split so there was no saving a feather in this one.
The black is from the bandsaw blade reacting to tannins from an oak beam that I sawed just prior to this.

Have you looked in the phone book for Sawmills near you? Depending on where in mississippi...
Here in the wooded section of tn we have Sawmills everywhere. I can drive to 5 different mills without getting to town from my house. Not to mention the little hobby mill that I have.
Yeah I know several people around me with mills. The issue on this particular log, is that I don't have a trailer with me to haul home. So, I had to do it the hard way
That stinks after you have a couple milled... you dont realize how slow the chainsaw is till then.
I have taken to splitting lengthwise and throwing it on my mill...

Wife and daughter helped split firewood for a client today. After about the third piece, even the wife was saying, "What a shame." Most of the Black cherry was flame grained or cathedral curl. No pictures taken as some crimes too painful to revisit.
Was in western KY this past weekend and found this. Seems to be rather hard on the Janka scale and really dense. Any ideas!
when @phinds gets involved, you're gonna get an ear full
It's a rock, that's why it's so hard
You sure it didn’t come from Dumbo’s grandfather?

Which end? It could also be from a tusk that's petrified. In this case, if you found it here in the US, it would be Mamoth instead of elephant..... Jerry (in Tucson)
petrified charpai scalp?
