Finished up a few jobs today. Although, I don't think I like to use the term 'job'....I'm having a blast, loosing some belly, and generally just feeling great! This mill should have been here a long time ago.
Only thing left to mill was a big chunk Southern Red Oak{Quercus falcata} and two pieces of crotch White Oak{Quercus alba}. Slabs of 5/4 thickness, natural edge....sort of boring, well unless ya know how to cut the timber to get the 'purty out'! Tiger Oak.....pfft.
Photo's? There was a few....
This one is to show the mill is getting dirty. But it cleans off easy at 50+mph on the way home.
I generally cut for quality, and sometimes that makes more waste then some like... But the last of the logs he had on site needed to have some 'purty stuff', so I got the go ahead and did my thing!
Close-up!
From my understanding, the oak I cut will be used for book cases. And maybe a few 'small boxes'?
