hey dave! this is not the place to be looking for a piece of ash!

I have a few oak treads if they will work for you. thinking maybe a trade for some other wood? not sure if i have 6 or not. they are bullnosed with one end haveing a finnished splined bullnose.

oh and i am just up the road from you.

Dave, I don't have a single ash log on my yard. Wish I could help you with that mantel, but not at this time. Sorry but no 12" wide hickory, I'm not helping you am I

If I get hickory or ash logs in in the near future I will let you know. Some of the other sawmill guys on here may be able to help you out

Was over at The Hardwood Store in Gibsonville a couple weeks ago, and they had a bunch of 16/4 ash. For the hickory treads, you may have to laminate them up from narrower stock. Pecan is often substituted for hickory.

Dave I can help you with the Hickory, we got lots of that... As for the Ash I'll see if I can round you up a nice white ash - how wide is your mantle?

Thanks

6' wide? Let's rephrase this, what dimensions you need?

dave "dhi" · 09-20-2007, 12:20 AM

length 6' . 4 inch thick and about 10 inch wide.so its a 4-10 at 6' . 10 "inches off wall(shelve depth) 4 inches thick(or height of mantel) when looking at wall and 6 feet long! make sense, cause im confusing myself!!

thanks jeff!

Yeah 16/4 x 10" - 6', 20BF or about 80 lbs worth - yep got it.

if you can just find a 6 foot long log, id rather take that and mill piece the way i think will work. but milled piece will work also, kiln would be the best!!!

that was jack that visited the ER not me!

Bummer, I left an ash slab of almost these exact dimensions back in Wisconsin when we moved. It weighed a ton so moving it was not an option. I have ash in the garage that I could part with if you want to make a box mantle. $2.25/bf if you are interested.
