Whatcha Sawin' ???

[Don P]

It's kind of neat, it was still leafless and tight when it was felled but apparently the signal had already been sent through most of the trees to loosen and divide.

Cut some sassafras and ambrosia maple today!!!! Add in some walnut and chestnut oak, it was a pretty fun day!!

[etroup10]

And some other stuff i cut a little while ago

Whatcha sittin' on? Walnut toilet seats.

(Didn't Grandpa Jones do a skit about a toilet seat?)

Live edge ERC mantle with some 2" thick leftovers on the sides. Cedar is one of my favorites to saw. If I wasn't feeling well and went to my family doctor, he would just say, "son, get your butt out there and saw some cedar"   Yessir Doc.

That thar is some nice cedar. Also it is on the level and totally balanced as well!

Last week I sawed some "Apple" not the straightest logs I've ever sawn:



 



 

And that was one of the straighter ones.

Sounds like you feel about the same about ERC as I feel about WJ (western juniper).

I got an order for a WJ mantle the other day, but I'm not going to cut it 'till I have the cash in hand.  I'm tired of fighting this guy for every dime.  Anyway, end of rant.

Almost looks like you sawed a $   :D

I like apple wood even if I have to walk a drunkard's path to get it in the door! Every time I've had one with that much character, there was a rotten spot to work around. Yours looks solid and clean!

[caveman]

Deese- that is a good looking cedar and you did a good job with the mantle.

[Brad_bb]

Nice Jim!   That is going to be a brace right?

[WDH]

Etroupe,

That ambrosia maple is fantastic. 

[Magicman]

 

 
Jim, I believe that your log was more crooked than this Sycamore one was.  These will become bookmatched benches.

[Peter Drouin]

Hay Magicman, I fixed my seat. :D :D :D


 
Ran out of gorilla tape. ;)

[Bruno of NH]

Peter
Nice

[Magicman]

Ah gots to fix mine too.  Either that or spend another hundred bucks!   :-\

[grouch]

I think a sawmill should have a nice, rough-sawn red oak seat. It shows the customer you're serious.

Bonus points for pulling splinters outta ya butt after the job.

[Magicman]

I forgot to mention that I have no idea what to fix the seat with.  Last time I tried Gorilla tape like Peter used but since I work in the sun, the heat melted the glue on the tape into a sticky mess.  I also tried one of those auto seat covers, but the looseness did not work.  Maybe someone has an idea?

I had the students from the local High School FFA class over this morning and we saw'd a few logs.


 
We had a few decent cedar boards


 
Then we saw'd a nice ambrosia maple into live edge slabs


 
This was the 3rd visit from the FFA class, very enjoyable visit, maybe some of the kids become interested in sawing.

[Peter Drouin]

Tractor supply has seats. Just need one with the right bolt spread. 16" I think???

[Peter Drouin]

Nice lumber scleigh.

[Delawhere Jack]

Still stuck in that same old rut..... more walnut.....  :
