Did some milling today

[Dustyw]

Milled this log up today. I cut it down from my grandmas and my mom said as a kid she would have to water it everyday after school. Thought I would make her something really cool after it dries out. Any idea what it is, my grandpa alway said it was some sorta ash, just can't remember!

How about a picture of the bark? Looks like ash.

I'll get some bark pics tomorrow

Too crooked to make actual lumber?

you could make a nice cutting board for your mom ... she'd probably like that.

Looks like Common Ash bark.

It shows no sign of the ash borers so I didn't think I was an ash, every other ash is dead.

Pretty slabs. how thick are they, they look a couple inches? You could make he a bench, I cut my slabs 3 inches for benches. Here's a pic of one, not the best pic, if you would like I have pics showing the joints. What kind of mill do you have? Joe.

Beautiful slabs. I have been thinking about getting some pignut hickory logs milled. Never tried my hand, but why not. People on pinterest and the ladies I teach with love "rustic"
Thanks for sharing. Looks like the white ash I cut in Ohio

What it is (species) is less important than what it will become (furniture). Lots of potential there. Nice benches.
