New Slabs are in!

those are some nice slabs. can’t wait to see what they become in the fall. thanks for the post.

You have some nice pieces of wood to work with. It will be nice to follow this one to a finished piece.

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

Well it sounds like you have to compete with the Amish too. Good luck. Great looking wood, looks even better when you consider the price huh? Please post pics as you go this fall, I cant wait to see the process and then the final product.

-- God bless the men and women who protect our counrty.

Nice Score ….Did you cut them into slabs too ??

NICE!!...

I’m jealous. Just wish my slabs woud dry as fast as you indicate yours will.

I’ve heard that hemlock splinters cause some problems in healing. Have you worked with it before and do you take measures to insure that the customer doesn’t get any?

I havnt worked with the hemlock yet. Its all people use around here (1X8) to cover thier barns with. It does fine like that. I’m going to sit on this for a while & keep an eye on it. I bought it to make economy grade slab benches & Tables. I’ll keep y’all informed.

Cool bunch of slabs. How did the wood turn out?

-- Sharp tools and thin whispy shavings make woodworking a joy.

http://www.around-the-bend.com/ about 1/2 way down on the right is a hickory table from this pile. then the vanitys below that are the same. I got too greedy on the hemlock & the giant slabs fell apart. The biggest wasnt the best that time. The maple I have sold off here & there & made a few pieces too. Thanks, Ted.
