Hot Dog! That is some splendid timber. Wanna trade a little for clear tiger? ;^D

Looks like the video isn’t playing for me. You might want to check that, unless it’s working for other people.

I just PMed Martin for help…I’ve followed the same procedures as the others so not sure what’s up…hopefully we’ll get it cleared up soon…’cause this one features…YOU!

I think I figured out what was happening…check it out now…I just love the roar of that saw!

Great wood. Nice job on the cutting. Yes all local trees have nails. I know Dad put a 24” bolt through a walnut tree that split. That would mess up a blade.

Dorje -

That wood is incredible! Looking forward to see what you end up making with your treasure.

Dorje you should have some real fun with that wood, or should I say you and Mike will have some real fun. If you find yourself in a jam and don’t have enough space to store it all, I’ll be glad to store some for you :-))

Rome wasn’t built in a day, we can wait! Some T.V. shows make you wait a week to see what happens next. LOL

Don’t point him to Gizmodyne. We’ll have pictures of wood drying, next.

-- No piece is cut too short. It was meant for a smaller project.

I’m enjoying the “piece at a time” .... (I think Dusty started this—we like suspense!)

THAT is some really interesting wood. Lucky that wasn’t a 12 inch spike.

Huge book matched pieces..I smell a beautiful tabletop!

Gettin’ better everyday!

-- Bob Vila would be so proud of you!

I’m with Brad and Tom Angle. There’s gotta be a table top in there somewhere. I hope it does dry without any twist or unmanageable warp. Thanks for keeping us in the loop.

Dorje,
Are you slabbing it all to lumber? Dividing any up as bowl blanks? You’ve got some major Nakashima tables going there!

-- "Bordnerizing" perfectly good lumber for over a decade.

I have a bunch of bowl blanks from this tree already,

and more from the milling process…

Other than that, it’s all been slabbed into lumber!

-- Dorje (pronounced "door-jay"), Seattle, WA

Nakashima style tables – well, maybe! Definitely some live edge forms!

What would the shipping cost to Michigan be? That is some beautiful maple Dorje. You lucky dog. mike
