the woodpile #1: surprise wood pile find

Wonderful find. I love using found wood. I got some advise from Frank today on the tools needed to work with Green wood. I’m hoping to find some local wood and set it aside to dry.

A couple more of those and you can get to work on your Thorsen table. It would also make some nice screwdriver handles.

Great looking wood.

I may take a free day this week to ransack my father-in-laws pile. If I got this log from him, there could be more! (presuming they aren’t already converted to heat for the last time).

I wish the photos could show the shimmer on the sides of this oak. It’s really pretty.

Hi Scott;
Those grain patterns in that 3rd photo are really great!
When one starts to understand the woodpile, that woodpile will never look the same again.

Thanks for sharing your find and may the wood gods be smiling on you as you look for more….
GODSPEED,
Frank

I mentioned this in your other post… my buddy (who’s wife had a new little one yesterday) found a stump at the LDS temple grounds in St. George Utah for a walnut that was slow growth due to the heat… he told the grounds keeper that he had burned up an $80,000 tree and the guy did not believe him… (If I were him I would not even look into it for fear it was true).

Great save Scott. Good to see it being used, too.
