Resawing is going turn me to a wood hoarder (wood porn inside)

That is gorgeous!!! Wow. If you don’t think you’ll use it, let me know. I’ll send you my address. I have to get a bigger bandsaw for this reason. Did I say WOW ?

-- Dad: Someone was supposed to pick up his toys! Son: My name isn't "Someone".

this is a common scenario in my shop. My wife comes in and helps clean once in a while and the conversation will go like this:
The wife: Whats this?
Me: A piece of firewood.
The wife: What’s it doing over here (meaning sitting on my walker turner)
Me: I’m going to cut it.
The wife: For what?
Me: Dumb stare.
The wife: Just shaking her head and heading back to the house.

EDIT: So don’t expect much help here.

Awesome!

It was only a 4/4 piece that was planed to about 7/8. These pieces are about 5/16” thick. I’m going to so something with it, just not sure what.

And your saw performed so nicely. Beautiful re-sawing.

Panels or box tops in a frame/panel construction. Good looking save.

I see front doors for a jewelry box. Amazing find.

I cleaned these up a bit with some 150 grit, but the saw did a great job. The outsides are plane-jane walnut, and one side has a big knot. I want to go outside and resaw a similar piece of cherry. Is there a support group for this type of thing?

Shane, not a bad idea. I kind of want to keep the shape the way it is and leave the live edge though. Maybe I will match plane them, laminate them, and made a footed serving tray.

Dang it, Joe… it’s posts like this that are gonna make me go out and buy a stinking bandsaw!

John, after having a bandsaw for only 3 weeks, I have no idea what I did without one, and I would never want to be without one again. This was done on the new Craftsman 14” (Rikon 10-320 clone). If I was a gambling man, I would guess it would be on sale this weekend as it is a holiday in the states. I got it for a little under 340$ out the door.

Have a look at Andy's (gfadvm) boxes. You will get some inspiration for this, knot and all.

Don, and your wife coming in the shop with all the questions was funny.

Also of note, I’m not the only one in the house with a scrap hoarding addiction. When I came in from playing in the shop, I found this on the dining room table. I’m not sure what my wife is going to do with it, but it will probably look amazing when completed.
