Rough saw lumber and what you built out of it (1 Viewer)

This is amazing.
Is that beard OSHA approved?

Here's a couple of benches I made from scrap rough sewn from a few years ago. I've worked mainly with reclaimed heart pine on various projects. I trimmed my cabin's interior from reclaimed barnwood cut down around the early 1900's. The floor is from a 100 year old tobacco barn flooring that was never nailed down and in 20-24' lengths. No stain, just water poly after a light sanding. I have a bunch of scrap reclaimed wood if anyone needs any for a project.

Every time this thread pops up it reminds me that I have access to lots of oak (nowhere near as chunky as yours though), a couple saws, and could use a good fire pit area with some benches.... I'm going to have to do something about that.

I have been doing some stuff out of pallet wood if that counts. Mostly accent walls. I plan on doing a head and foot board for a friend when I find the time. I would love to have cheap easy access to some rough stuff to do some things.

Here is one of the walls. The built in shelves are also salvage from a deck I tore down. (Not sure if this counts since I did not have to actually cut logs but it is all pretty rough.)

Here is the bed. Again it is all left overs and recycled stuff.

I am moving to a new place in Georgia that will have room to try some new things. I hope to eventually graduate to cutting some of my own slabs.

How do you cut in the bow ties and then cut your bow ties Dan?

 

[D'Animal]

I use really sharp chisels on the small bow ties and a router to rough in the larger bow ties.

Made a live edge custom epoxy “River Table” coffee table for a friend. The Blue in the canyon is illuminescent.

He was the Squadron Commander of VF-14 “Top Hatters”.
The jet is painted to match his jet, all the way down to his call sign on the side.
It’s 18/4 or 4 1/2” thick and weighs 140lbs

How Should I have this cherry cut up? I was going to sell the logs, but that fell through. I think I’d like to get it cut up.

I know a guy with a saw mill, he said he’d cut it for no charge but he keeps half the wood. Is that a square deal? I have no idea really.

I have 3 straight 10ft logs.

That's the standard deal. If you can you should be there to help make sure you get a square deal - the wood should be evenly divided by quality as well as quantity. I'd buy the logs if I was closer. Cherry is my favorite and we simply don't have the trees here.

Yea I’ll be there to help him. Thanks. I’ve cut up some cherry trees from my property and sold the logs before, but I’ve never had any cut up for projects.

Ridge beam?

 

[D'Animal]

It is just the cant. Will be sawing the 6x6 corner posts as 4x6 uprights out of it.
Have another four logs to mill up.
