an albino twin and a pop(u)lar one ;)

I’m amazed to see such large planks of holly… I’d only seen it in quantities small enough for little else but inlay.

I guess you get the ”Lumberjock Board Award” for the LJ with the most boards.

Can anyone top Karson?

Nope. On a Bell curve he puts me much closer to the opposite end of the spectrum!

I have less money than everyone. All of my capital is in hard goods. And I didn’t write any of it off the tax books.

I cut 8 sticks and then I cut 4 more sticks and then I cut two sticks

See, I said someone would probably build the table from poplar…I was even thinking of doing that too.

Way to go Karson.

Holly is my second most favorite wood Karson, right behind, well, you know.

Are you aware that Holly is Delaware’s official tree (or bush or flower or something like that?) and I believe Delaware has more of it than most other states. I have seen boards in the lumber yard up here but not nearly as huge as the piece you refer to. And it goes for $17.00 bf. You’re a rich man Karson!

-- Better to say nothing and be thought the fool... then to speak and erase all doubt.

$17 a board foot? Wow! I always hated Holly trees when I was a kid. I remember having to pick those prickly leaves out of my mom’s flower beds. OUCH!

Karson,
Where is the rest of your series?

Or is it a deep dark secret. LOL

Karson would be a great poker player… he’s playing his cards, errr tables, close to his vest (that can’t be very comfortable ;-)

Everyone i giving me a hard time here. I’ve spent the last two days in the shop.

I’m making or assisting on 6 – G & G tables.

All the wood is cut and we are now doing the milling.

I had originally posted the table top for the Goncalo Alves table. (That’s #1)
I had blogged (this one) on the twins. Holly and Popular. (That’s 2 & 3)

My son Dan is making one (That’s 4)
My youngest son David is making one (That’s 5)
And my oldest daughter is making one (That’s 6)

I’ve been taking some pictures and I’ll try to get some posted

That’s after the freeze date when you can’t copy my tables to modify yours.

So there.

Karson

lol too funny Karson.

and wow – - a family affair!! That’s wonderful and a super memory

Would never give you are hard time Karson… tease ya maybe, but never a hard time. Besides, if you tried to keep us posted on that many tables you’d never get any woodworking done. ;-) Very much looking forward to seeing your results, whenever that may be.

Karson, I thought Obi was the only mass producer of Thorsen Tables on this site?

Obi, you better cut more sticks! LOL.

-- Jesus is Lord!

I don’t think I’ve ever even seen any Holly lumber.

Karson… the table arrived via UPS yesterday… Looks great, I’ll post it as soon as I get pictures and tell everybody that I did it.;)

Too funny Obi! You could do woodworking during the day and stand-up at night.

Alright! Martin for the next challenge a DNA sample of the woodworker is going to have to be imbedded in the project to stop this mail order business with the projects. LOL.

Obi, we’re gonna have to put hidden cameras in your shop!

-- Jesus is Lord!

Obi: I’m glad it arrived, I was wondering if I should put a trace on it. Hope this helps you get up and working faster in the shop.

Karson-
That’s one reason I showed mine early, so no one can accuse me of copying. LOL

It will be easy to get a dna sample off one of my table legs, like chip said it has a crimson stain on it. Karson give em heck, make three or four tables, that would show them. I’m thinking of making mine out of burl now, everyone liked that so much. Maybe just paste some on the side or something like that. mike

With the size of your burls, you could make it solid burl, Mike
