Resawing Tulipwood Log

image image image image

So I normally only post actual projects, but I really got a kick out of the fact that I didn’t screw this up. I got a hold of a tulipwood log, cut it in half, then jointed the exposed side. Took that flat side against my resaw fence and got 4 nice 4/4 pieces about 38” long and 6-7” wide. Definitely will make a nice sculpted box at some point!

I really like working with Tulip Wood, I posted a small box here on LJ’s awhile back made of it. I used Bloodwood as a top, came out really nice.
