The vast majority of my wood working "projects" are like this.

That is some gorgeous Walnut; are you selling some of your ‘work’?

Kevin I have a little http://www.taschmid.com/ . I have used/abused it for 5 years, the little dude has paid for itself 100 times over.

Jarrod, I sell a little wood to locals to cover my expenses (blades/gas etc.) to build my own stash and find new logs. I mostly custom mill or share cut a little since the mill is not eating anything now. I hit it hard early on selling lumber locally and nationwide via the web. I don’t really sell online anymore unless I have a glut of something, the wood in the picture for example I will never have what I would consider a glut of I doubt (?)

those are some gorgeous looking boards!
I love the idea of being able to mill my own boards… someday…

I am so envious that you have a) those two boards in your hands b) a sawmill to make more with and c) the time to do such things !!! Take care and thanks for the tease : )

Very cool looking timber!

-- My favorite piece is my last one, my best piece is my next one.

Only disappointing thing about the Southwest….no good hardwoods. I lived in Wisconsin for a few years; just down the road from a great mill. I used to pick up some of the best rough slabs. Now, everything I get is ‘imported’ from the northeast or midwest, and it is all planed down to 1 3/4”. I just hate that.

Anyway, great looking slabs.

Beautiful looking wood! And 24” wide at that! Man, you don’t get that around here! I can see why you get such a thrill out making such fine wood. It would be hard to make something that could be more beautiful than the way that it is.

Those are beautiful pieces. I can see a lot of projects in the making.

Thanks for the post.

yeah, I’m drooling a little.
