BilletHead Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 I had a feeling free would bring in a few lookers. Tell you what I have. Walnut wood. I had a tree cut down actually several trees one a nice walnut. We don't burn wood anymore so I have a neighbor couple, they are in their late seventies. So between me, the Mrs. and Ross we are trying to work him up some wood. A slow process but all will be happy when it is done. So as Pat and I were splitting up the walnut I got looking at what we had. There would of been a good saw log for someone but few would come for one log so we cut it up. When splitting up I squared up as I split. I am getting up to five blocks out of a sawed section. I have been sitting these aside as I really don't want these to go up in smoke if someone can use them. I have so far 31 pieces and will have six or so more, There is good color and some figure to them. The blocks are 16" to 19" long. The end measurements are from a 4"x4" up to one that measures 10"x7". So if any of you want to use them for knife handles, reel seat for a fly rod, turning for duck calls or pen blanks, Handgun grips, doing a set of for arm and butt stock for your rifle or shotgun, maybe carving. I bet out of the large block a serving tray can be made. I have not yet sealed the ends. If I get a response and someone or know someone that wants part of all of this let me know ASAP and I will seal the ends so they will not check. We can make arrangements for a drop off sometime. I just hate to see them burn if they can be used.

jdmidwest Posted May 10, 2015 Posted May 10, 2015 Nice color and grain to it. It would have made a few nice boards if left at length. Was the tree dead or green when you cut it down? "Life has become immeasurably better since I have been forced to stop taking it seriously." — Hunter S. Thompson
Ham Posted May 10, 2015 Posted May 10, 2015 I don't have the gear to do it, but I'd love to have the larger end section made into 1inch slabs for cutting boards. I could sand them and seal them, but I can't cut them. Every Saint has a past, every Sinner has a future. On Instagram @hamneedstofish

ness Posted May 12, 2015 Posted May 12, 2015 That's good looking wood, and I would have paid top dollar, but I can't use anything shorter that 20". Sorry. Maybe you'll be a little more careful next time. BilletHead 1 John
