Rough Sawn Walnut #1: New Old Wood

Oh I meant to mention that he had it sawed up in 1975 so I’d say that it’s seasoned.

nice score bud, you lucky bastard!

-- I love the smell of sawdust in the morning!

So when you headed east? If you do any turning at all, you have to make a trip this way! I have just a little bit and there’s a lot in there that’s only good for turning blanks.

looks like about 50 cents a BF super bargain

Kid in a candy store!! I just had to plane a piece and joint one edge. This piece has a check running through the middle but it doesn’t appear to go all the way through. I may try to resaw the piece or just keep planing it until the check goes away.

I agree with Jim, that is a bargain. I just bought some about a month ago. 100 bf of walnut ran me $300.

Nice Fine

Great find at a super price… are you near Jefferson City I know a sawyer in that area that sell kiln dry hardwood at 2 to 2.50 bld. ft. Blkcherry

Hey Chunk, that stuff is too dirty to mess with. I’ll come by and clean up that mess so you can keep your shop clean.

-- Dan-- Info for all @ http://www.hoistman.com

don’t forget to cut the pith out. I’ve got a bunch that looks very similar to what you’ve got, but removing the pith is important. that is pretty stuff.

Jefferson City is pretty close to the center of Iowa. I’m in the far north west corner. However, I’m not opposed to driving a couple of hours + to get what I need. Actually, up here you almost have to drive a while to get anywhere. lol

Name: Robert Jorgensen I’ve talk with Bob but it a 7 hr. trip one way, It would be well worth a call,his stock is kiln dry and price well blow market price. He was sell in QS Oak at 2.25 bd. ft. if you purchase l00 bd. ft. His walnut was price at 3.00. Oh I had the wrong city as you may have notice maybe this is closer to you…good luck Blkcherry

That’s about a 5 hr + drive for me. But if he has what you need, then it’s well worth trip. Especially if you can get someone tag along.

Thanks for the information, I’ll be sure to call bob in the future.

please please please do something nice with that pretty piece you planed. if you didnt want to get all nakashima you could always reinforce it from the bottom/back so that it wouldnt split. its just too good to break up!

Some great looking pile of wood.
