What did you accomplish today?

[Bareback]

I went and cut 4-5 cords of oak firewood, not really big trees but really long and straight. And that makes for easy splitting and after the last 8 cords of really big and knotty oak, this wood will be like a vacation...... almost. Also got gifted some large oak logs for the sawmill, most likely going to quarter saw it, pics coming if it's worth showing off. And finally I expect to get a bunch of wood from the storms on Saturday, not that I'm hoping anyone lost their trees but I know they did so free wood for me.

logs for the sawmill

I have always wanted to make a live edge table/bench with some good wood.

Oh, I also sawed my thumb with a dovetail saw... Was quite a bloody affair.

Is this an annual thing with you? I guess this time it wasn't a power tool.

Considering that this is a South African dove, the "not a power tool" thing is not at all guaranteed.

We keep telling you to step away from the science Roger!

I do live edge work a lot, mostly pine . Here in the south we have a problem with the Japanese Beatle and the It's Beatle, the wood is very beautiful. But no longer structural and there's no market for it, so I get all I want for free. I make paneling, tables, shelves and whatever else I can think of. Also do a lot with aromatic cedar and then there's the hardwoods pecan, hickory, oak ( red & white ), sugar maple, elm, sycamore, popar.......

Ouch..... that is like a sore subject...pun intended.

Japanese Beatle

We have the bark beetle that kills the pines and causes blue stain on the wood, same with the commercial value. We have Big Leaf Maple that the lumber company just falls and leaves on the ground, some wild black walnut, and a bunch of different oaks. There is a mill that does just aromatic cedar, they mostly make fence boards with it, Doug Fir and Ponderosa pine are the big cash crop. There are a couple small mills that do hardwood and cut slabs and walnut burls.
