Huge Bookmatched Walnut Crotch

[Don Geiger]

Someone sent the photo below to me. I don't know where this was taken or who is in the picture with it. This has to be the biggest crotch I've ever seen. I wonder if I could fit it on my Stubby?

i was going to saw very nice, but i think WOW is better

[Mike Minto]

Photoshopped! :eek: No, but really -how/why did someone cut that down? Must have been leaned against by native Americans before Columbus got here.

Wow that is what I call drooling wood.:D:rolleyes: Holy cow that would be a bunch of turning wood.

[GLENN THOMAS]

HOLY COW !!!!

I would hollow that out and make a house out of it.

That looks like Eli Avisera from Israel in the photo. Maybe he sent it to you?

Now that is a beautiful piece of wood. It looks curly toward the bark too. :)

[Mike Peace]

Wouldn't they make beautiful square winged bowls!

Don't know what I would do with them, just know the would look good in my shop.....

Great website; did you see where there were pics of the mill in action?? I see a couple pics of a lucasmill slabbing setup, but I didn't know they were capable of a 10 foot cut. I saw one advertised near me a few years ago.I have a 36" alaskan chainsawmill and a "big" 100cc saw--a mere nothing compared to the 25+HP and a slabbing chain with lots of space between the cutters. Check out the curlies on the ground--its pulling even when cutting end grain.
