Got wood?

thats alot of wood

-- Jim from Heirloom Woodshop Southern Oregon

Hi Jim, He gave me a 6×3 foot slab of 300yr old DF from a 5 foot round section. Not sure but a nice table top? Many other slabs to choose from are there. Going to raid the pile tomorrow & will post pic’s later. I hope these kind of posts are OK with Lumberjocks, we all start our work from some source of wood. Resources like this are hard to find for most, but in the Northwest we are lucky as there are TREES left! I would like to post pictures tomorrow & ask for ideas from others here as it takes a village to build the world.

Hey $tudie,
Sure could use some of that timber right now for our hulls.

-- I will just keep doing it till I get it right.

$tudie, this is a wonderful post. It is nice to see that much wood waiting for a project or two! :)

-- With God's help all things are possible- even woodworking. Woodworking is not just a hobby, it is an (expletive deleted) expensive hobby.

I love making turned wine bottle stoppers for gifts. If you get into that, you could make about a ba-jillion of them. :-)

Nice stash of wood. Wish I had the room to store this much wood!

wait, people are paying to do woodworking for a Bowling trophy?? haha truth is always stranger than fiction i guess =]....nice wood

Did anyone tell you that teasing is not nice? lol… I have a nice stack of lumber waiting to be shaped as well, not quite as large as yours in the pic, but still, always a good feeling having some planks laying around isn’t it…
Good Luck, we all look forward to future posts that show what this timber ended up being…
Wisty
