On to the 11th Page....
I found some wood to give Big Blue a work-out...
On the way home from a delivery I noticed a bunch of wood sitting on the side of the road, it looked like some one had cut down a tree, or removed a large limb, and then dumped hoping the trash collectors would take it, they didn't! It had been sitting there a while, as it was all cracked on the ends. It was quite the haul, loaded down the scooter a lot.....
So that is the pile of wood. I wanted to slice it up and sticker it, so I could use it some time in the near future, I have no idea what kind of wood it is.
Pics of the leaves that I could find still attached to the wood.
First Cut!
Second cut...
An front-end view
I used the smallest piece first to get the hang of things
Right down the middle
Slicing!
More cutting...
This one had a burl that was full of bugs!
Getting ready to cut
The one long piece I was able to cut into a 4x4 size...
I then sliced it into slabs, OK they are kinda small to be slabs...
Sure makes a lot of sawdust, I don't have the DC hooked up yet...
OK, to me there is just something so "right" about how this looks....
So now I got to let it dry, I wonder what wood it is..?
