So far this summer it has been full of variety from emergency repairs, fun projects, and lots of wood cut up for different projects. I have bee cutting a lot of what I have on hand into slabs for either platters, table tops and some for carving projects floating around in my very cluttered cranium! Here are a few of the bigger and prettier slabs out of some black walnut and sugar maple. Most of the maple has a lot of good figure in it and as you can see in the pictures I have the big pieces left to cut yet. The big crotch slabs I had to do with my stihl with 20" bar and I still had to pry it apart to get the last inch or so. The widest is 43"x52"long and I think one of them is going to become our little dining table in the kitchen. Now after cutting these I am seriously thinking of getting a "BIG" saw with a 50" bar and setting up an Alaskan mill to do the bigger stuff. Not sure if the bride will give me the go ahead on that, so I will have to do some creative stuff or maybe sell some wood to get a new toy or two!
Thanks for checking out the mess,
Jeff
