You guys ever seen curly eastern red cedar? Man it's awesome looking 8-O
I've cut up alot of ERC since I got my WM, I ran across one with figured grain that had an old coke bottle in the log. But I was milling along slicing slabs and a happened to look at the log and there was a patch of curly grain. I thought to myself, curly cedar yeah right. But I set the board aside and took it in the shop a little later. I ran it through the planer and sure enough it's curly eastern red cedar a small patch never the less but still curly. Wow now I think I've seen just about everything 8-O. So I sliced that section out, dried it and cut that bad boy into pen blanks :-D. I searched the rest of the lumber from that log and no more curly-ness :crybaby2:.
