    Coolest or rarest wood you have milled

    Hi Bob Hope you're feeling well enough real soon! Can you fill me in re the Melaleuca? I get the impression that it may be a junky soft wood not worth messing with. Is it? How does the grain look. I have heard it's used for wet area fence posts? It just seems to grow so fast that it may...

    Coolest or rarest wood you have milled

    The second pic looks like it has a nice soft glowing luster that really appeals to me. I'm a total beginner at finishing and I think I want to try your technique. Zinser comes up in a search for wax free shellac, do you recommend the clear? Are you spraying or brushing? How many coats...

    Coolest or rarest wood you have milled

    Mr Pastryguy What kind of finish did you use on that pepper? If thats the same brazillian pepper we have here all over SoCal, I have found that to be a very tough wood. Good long interlocking fibers. That stuff can take a real beating. The whole tree is more like a tortured shrub with...

    Cheap kiln

    Hey Marshall, It sounds like your de humidifier was really heating things up when you were running it at the lower humidity setting. Do you think it would be easy to maintain a 140 temp with a space heater inside? This is really interesting to me. I am thinking more and more that I am...

    Can warped boards be straightened?

    So Ted, are saying that after you straightened them by moisture swelling the concave side, that you were able to then dry them in the straightened position? Old Blue With a few torqued slabs in................ Kali-bone-ya

    Cheap digital Angle finder

    Take heed newbies. That block of wood that is also in the vice with the bar is significantly handy in holding the DAF upright during the measurement. Don't ask how I learned that one. Old Blue On my second DAF right here in ........... Kali-bone-ya

    Big old redgum

    That's huge stem your working on there! The inside looks great. You're going to need a few projects for that stuff. When you put a finish on some of it I hope you share it with us. Got that baby stacked and stickered yet? Old Blue Where we've got a tax, fee, fine, permit, license...

    Update on BSMilling - with useful info for CSMillers as well

    Sounds like it went without a hitch. I don't know what bollards are though. 3 ton ratchet straps sound pretty beefy, how long were the slabs / cants and how many of the straps were used to bundle the pack? Old Blue

    Whats up with this elm?

    If I'm able to, I will put a pick in this post. The elm is not yet milled. It's still a whole log and is underneath some others, I am pretty sure that it isn't getting much if any sun and it is sitting on concrete so there is minimal contact on the cement. Old Blue

    Whats up with this elm?

    I picked up a couple of pieces of Chinese elm a few months back. I put a good coat of Ipe seal on the ends thinking I was good until I get to it. Well now I'm seeing lengthwise cracks down the outside of the logs. What is going with this exterior cracking? Is it just light surface cracking...
