Just now getting to the big cherry logs brought in last week. Here's the start of the second log one more after this one and I'll be finished.

Re: Eye Candy

Thanks all, I sawed it all at 4/4 X 6" and 8". There are some wide pieces at about 4/4 X 12". But just a few.





Sure enough pretty stuff.

Re: Eye Candy

I like the way you keep the boards on the cant for flipping and edging, that's the way to use your noodle

About the only cherry I can get around here anymore are small diameter logs with lots of sap so I don't even bother with them.

Those sticks are good for air drying.

Re: Eye Candy

Randy,

Are you selling that cherry? Do you have a kiln or do you just airdry it?

Hey mikeeacg, I just air dry it. Haven't got to the kiln yet. Thats another ball of wax all together. I do sell it, but I sell it on a first come first served basis. This isn't going to last long. I still have one more log of it, but the center looks like it might be bad. Not sure yet. I think I might be to far for alot of you to travel. Not Positive of the BF yet but it's close to 200BF counting the one last log and if the center is good a bit more. It might be the way it was felled that makes the center look bad, not sure. I'm new at this
