Happy Monday all! I hope all you dads out there (and everyone else of course) had a wonderful Father's Day weekend. I got a Granberg Mini Mill and can't wait to try it out this weekend (side gloat).
Approximately 1 month ago I wrote about doing some sort of lumber run down the mountain from the Boone area to Raleigh and got some positive feedback both via the post and via email. In lieu of that, I have scrounged up some wood and am ready to make my way down the mountain maybe Saturday June 28th, if that works for everyone.
This is what I have...
...air dried for 15 yrs or so...
3000bf +/- Cedar - most is 5/4 at 6-8 ft long at various widths (5"+).
300bf +/- Black Walnut - 5/4 at 6-8 ft long at various widths (5"+). I do have a couple thick slabs too.
300bf +/- Ash - 5/4 at 6-8 ft long at various widths (5"+).
1000bf +/- Black Cherry (Mountain Cherry) - 5/4 at 6-8 ft long at various widths (5"+).
...supposed to have been kd and then kept in barn for 5 yrs or so (as per guy I'm selling it for)...
640bf +/- Cedar - 5/4 - 8/4 at various widths (mostly around 8") at 8' lengths. This one sells as a lot for $1,200...very nice...I measured the pile at apprx 642bf.
...turning stock (mostly treated with sealer and possibly in drying process, thought mostly still green)...
Black Walnut, Spalted Maple, Spalted Beech, Apple, Wormy Chestnut, Hemlock, Persimmon (at request), Hard & Soft Maple, and some others.
Turning stock includes mostly bowl blanks, but there are some pen blanks (wormy chestnut), lamp blocks and stock for turning table legs and mallet heads/handles also.
...Green Stuff...
I have many slabs of black walnut, white walnut, persimmon, spalted maple, hard maple, black (mtn) cherry, etc... that I will be cutting this weekend. As most of these are 20" - 50" in diameter, I can make these availbable at some point in the future maybe.
Ok, enough talk. In the end, all I want to do is make enough to pay for the gas in my F350 ($200), 2 cheesburgers w/fries and 1 coke ($5.00), 1 bag of cheese popcorn ($2.00) and 2 waters ($3.00). If I can do that, then I will make this happen. I will start in Boone...make a 1 hr stop in Wilkesboro (if needed)...make a 2hr stop in W-S...make a 2 hr stop between G-boro and Burlington (or the truckstop near Trollingwood Rd exit)...and a 2hr stop in Raleigh (wherever someone tells me to go).
All lumber (unless otherwise noted) is $2/bf!!! Turning stock will be priced individually, yet still at very low prices.
I await your response.
