When you get the wood back how about posting some pictures? That would be nice to see.

I can well understand where you are coming from about being surprised that there was a walnut log in the mix. I posted this blog yesterday and when I bought the slabs at the auction they were auctioned as walnut. The logs were covered with dirt and dust from being stored for 20 years (again according to the auctioneer) so I was surprised when I unloaded them at home and took a block plane to one of the logs and found that they were cherry.

the farmer that cuts my lumber is 35 mins away from my house.
and once its cut it will be stacked so there wont be any photos for awhile.
my backs acting up so any thing i can sub-out i am doing.
ie cutting, planning,drying, the only part i am doing is some sanding and
finish.
only about 1000ft of my wood is ready for use the rest will take awhile.
i have 2200 ft floors, 2400 ft trim, 11 doors and 35 windows.
so it will be spring before this is done b/c i also work full time.
