Been waiting a long time for this...

I dont remember if any of you remember, but about a year ago I told everyone that I was getting some lumber cut up. Had some questions about what i wanted it cut into etc. Well the day has finally come.... I got my lumber back from my Amish guy. He did a great job. So here it is, my GLOAT of the year!!!!! I will tell you that I had some logs but wanst sure how many of what I had. I had Walnut, Ash, and Red Pine. I might as well put the GLOAT in my GLOAT.... I was given these logs for free...... and it only cost me $400 to get it all cut up!

This is a pic of the load that my FIL had picked up the other day when I wasnt around. This is mostly Ash and Pine.

146512
There were some logs that were 8' to 12'. I am guessing that I have around there is around 600b/f of Ash.

These are my favorite boards. These are some bookmatched 12" abotu 10-12' in length. I have a blanket chest in store for these.

146513
The four stacks on the right are all pine except for one little tiny one that is Red Cedar. Only have a few boards of that.

146514
I hate it when my truck looks like this!!!!!

146515
Except for when it is full of over 800b/f of Walnut!!!!!!

146516
There is a lot of wood in that truck.

146518
Most of the Walnut is select or better. This is some really clear stuff. My FIL is a bit jealous cause it is better looking wood than the stuff that he cut up a few years back. And they were from the same load.

This is the rest of the pine!!! I am guessing that in total, I have about 1200b/f of pine!! Again I paid for nothing but the milling.

Here is the the Walnut all stacked up to dry.

See you in a year!!!!

[Bruce Page]

Wow! That should keep you busy for awhile!

[Ken Fitzgerald]

Chuck,

Congrats.

As a Moderator I'm supposed to maintain a certain level of civility so I won't say what I'm thinking.........but it reminds me with a female sheep and a duck.....or something close!:rolleyes:

[Van Huskey]

You suck. :D

[Chuck Isaacson]

Thank you for your warm words.... Thank you all.....















HATERS!!!!!:p

[Terry Sparks]

Chuck, what is your address and when are you going on vacation?

[Chuck Isaacson]

I am retired...I am always on vacation. But why, are you going to finish stacking the rest of it? Thanks!!!

[Tullie Templet]

I guess I'm a HATER too because you really do suck.:D Nice Gloat.

[Chip Lindley]

Chuck, I've had my share of free or really cheap logs cut into some nice lumber! You don't Suck at all! Enjoy making something really special from your new stash of really good looking hardwood!!

I don't think that will work, he wont give you any of it.:D

[George Sanders]

That certainly is a very good gloat. Have fun working with all that wonderful wood.

[Ken Shoemaker]

SUCK!!!!! :p

[Tom Rick]

Oh that's not so great...
One time I got to take apart a hundred year old pig sty & got 50 Bd ft of walnut for free I'm tell ya!
:eek:

Congrats- looks like some nice boards for a bunch of great projects.

[Mitchell Andrus]

Naw. That's the wrong way to do it.

You gotta go to a supplier who makes a profit who gets wood from a jobber who makes a profit who gets truckloads from a mill who makes a profit who gets logs from a logger who makes a profit who goes to the landowner who makes a profit....

There.... See? That's how WE ALL DO IT!!

Thanks Mitchell, I'll have to remember that for next time I have to get some lumber. Oh wait, that wont be for a very long time. Just remind me again in about ten years when I run out.
