Found in a pile of Fire Wood

I love firewood finds. Once the snow is cleared off my firewood pile i might just have to check some of it out. Good score and free too!

Nice!!! That will make pretty cool backgrounds.

I totally agree Patrice, my thoughts exactly.

Sweet! Nice figuring in there. Now you’ll have eveyone with a bandsaw slicing up all their firewood before burning it … LOL

Thanks gang, I will more then likely slice them into veneers to be used as the field of some Marquetry projects I have in mind as soon as I clear the back log of projects I have.
Hey Paul when are you going to change your icon Mat and I have done it.

Great find there Bob…always amazing what gets burned as firewood! Good save and I can’t wait to see what you make out of it.

50% of my projects are from firewood!!! Made some nice bandsaw boxes from similar wood. Amazing what is inside “ordinary” logs!!!!

Gorgeous spalting. Is that oak? I’ve only ever seen wimpy spalting on oak before it rots.

The bark is thin and smooth and flakes off easy, Maple or ash?

That is some beautiful spalting BUT it doesn’t look like any oak I’ve ever seen.
