Magnolia

I sawed some wide magnolia slabs this past Tuesday. The logs came off the Seminary in Wake Forest. I hope the picture came up.

VERY neat Jack - thanks for posting.

now I know what it looks like inside that (little) log I have!
(probably only as big as one of the inclusions in that slab!)

That is an amazingly beautiful slab!

I would have thought it pretty darn dangerous to be sawing up trees from an old college campus! Who knows what sorts of metal objects could have been left by those Demon Deacons.

What did you use to saw it?

Dave, My dad played basketball and baseball for Wake Forest 54-57 and remembers walking by those trees. The rumor is they were planted when the college opened. I only kit 1 small nail making the last cut. I have one more left that is over 50" wide with a crotch. That is going to make some nice slabs.
