Sure can let me dig the gun out of my safe later today.

Here's a shot of the grips I got for my long slide.

Looking good.

Wowoweee, talk about making something pop.

Top quality items like that is one way to maximize the value of that log.

Just saw this thread again. I'm having heart palpitations. You lucky dog. I would love to have just the firewood pieces. I see lots of potential on a mini lathe. We don't have anything like that here in the south.

Don

These are the way to you, you should have them by end of week. Need sharp tools for sure, Post up some pics after you turn em.

Ed, folks like you are what make this such a great place.

Clam77 · January 22, 2012, 04:08:45 PM

Wow - those peices are good looking just as firewood peices too!!

SwampDonkey · January 22, 2012, 05:05:33 PM

It sure is high grade figure as far as I'm concerned.

Don K · January 23, 2012, 11:07:43 AM

Thanks Ed. I will eagerly await the package. After I see what size the pieces are I will plan a project. I have something in mind so we will see what the pieces tell me.

Don,
It'll be a Christmas present

It was all I could get in one of those USPS flat rate boxes. If you make small crafts just do a close up and then blow em up so it looks large in the pics

That is an amazing project! I'm just stunned by the quality of the figure...not everyone gets to apologise for the rough appearence of their lumber by saying that, "they look rough due to the quilt pattern running into the tiger grain". ;)

Swampdonkey...thats a heckuva compliment coming from a guy who heats his house with that stuff ;).

Every time that I look at this thread, I am amazed.

Bill Gaiche · February 07, 2012, 10:14:47 PM

That is some really awsume wood. Good luck on your project. bg

SwampDonkey · February 07, 2012, 10:43:44 PM

Oh well, like bugs bunny:"one for you, two for me. Three for me one for you". :D

tomsteve · February 09, 2012, 08:20:36 PM

Okrafarmer · February 09, 2012, 10:04:52 PM

Yes, have you done anything else? All we have down here is ambrosia maple and the occasional clear log :-\

T Welsh · February 22, 2012, 07:07:22 PM

TreeWinder, Any updates on the pretty maple log ;). Tim

TreeWinder · February 23, 2012, 06:10:34 AM

Tim,
Nothing new, have been dealing with life's other challenges past few weeks. But have stickered about 250BFfrom the side slabs and cut out a nice section for a rifle stock. So far only have that rough cut and drying.

Should have the dozer log boom done in a few weeks and then I can get more done with the log.

Ed

T Welsh · February 24, 2012, 05:01:38 AM

Ed,Remember to take some pictures of the rifle stock and the lift your making for the dozer,its winter time and it gives us something to look at :D.Tim

SwampDonkey · February 24, 2012, 05:46:40 AM

From what I have been reading this winter on here, winter isn't all that harsh in PA. :D :D

T Welsh · February 24, 2012, 12:47:08 PM

SwampDonkey, Its been down right enjoyable,last two days in the upper 50,s ;D. I am not complaining,the draw back about this time of year is the sun sets way too early. Tim

SwampDonkey · February 24, 2012, 04:33:33 PM

We have about 11.5 hrs of daylight here with evening twilight. That's a long enough work day. ;D

TreeWinder · March 10, 2012, 06:11:03 PM

Tim,
Boom attachment for the dozer, designed for 10K; less when I add an extension. Adjustable and I get a 4' lift from the dozer blade and the boom at highest is 4' from level. Maybe eventually add a winch to it also.
