Firewood????

I’ve found some amazing wood in the firewood pile, definately worth giving every piece a once over before condemning it to oblivion.

Good job, and great lesson learned!

Tyler,

You have a nice piece of wood there. Taking wood from tree to trim is an enjoyable experience and it is something to get excited about. Wood is such a wonderful medium with which to work but even more so when you uncover its beauty hidden beneath the bark covering. I hope you come across a piece of figured or spalted wood in the “wood pile” one day and bring out its true beauty.

Thanks for sharing.

cool. finding a diamond in the rough…

Oh boy have I dragged some beauties out of the “fire wood pile”...10,000’s of bft. Nice piece of oak there. Makes you want to salvage more doesn’t it?

Very nice Tyler… you start doing that and you’ll never look at wood that people throw away the same again. Old pallets (Watch for Nails!!), you’re neighbors brush pile… in your case- cheap bundled firewood. I’ve found some nasty looking wood that was unbelievablely awesome once it was cut into. Finding those jems is very rewarding… once you find an old piece of wood that was condemned to be burned and you save it, only to make something nice out of it, makes the wood go, “PHEW!! THANKS!!!... That was a close one!!”

(You did a good job milling it, too, by the way!)

I would like to think that a woodworker, who relies on wood heat in the winter, think twice about what they burn. And I am sure that there are some, who do not know the diference between one log or the other, would burn anything they can. Oooo, I cannot about it.

It is nice making something out of a log!
