What are you building with your milled wood? merged

[rarefish383]

I posted a thread with these pics, but I thought I'd add them here too. My wife asked me to build her a shelf in her potting shed. Six months later I hadn't gotten it done. Then she went away for the weekend. When she got back she asked what I did while she was gone? I said I framed in your bench. A couple weeks later she asked if I planned on putting a sheet of plywood on her bench so she could store stuff on it over the winter? Well, I was getting in my truck to go get a sheet of plywood, and I looked in my trailer, and there sat 2 fir logs. I thought I've got a mill and a log, who needs plywood. So, a week or so later this is what she got, Joe.

Compliments the wall art beautifully. Looks like you are building a mini Louvre.

Its not much, but my wife likes it and that's really all that matters! and yes I know I need to get rid of the wood paneling and the baseboard now!

Nice work and nice collection of lumber, bet that took you some time. Looks like you can easily access what you need, that's one problem I have not being able to get to a stack I'd like to use without moving stuff.

Excellent table, you've got a great back story to go with it. Should be something the grand-kids talk about for generations.

Here is another project I did. Yellow cedar construction with red cedar shingles cut on the band mill.

I swore I saw a guillotine there at first

Took me and another guy all day to move it and stack it

The question is, what what are you building with it? I'm very jealous of all that space. I need to build a lumber storage rack of some sort. I have piles in front of piles.

I got a dresser for my boy part time. Been making some shelves for our new house and I just made a cutting board because we don't have one.

 

[betterbuilt]

Nice. Looks like maybe maple and oak or hickory?

Here's a Ash desk I made in the spring.

 

[2treeornot2tree]

It is red oak and American beech. Nice table. I bought a inlay kit, so I am excited to give that a whirl

 

[2treeornot2tree]

Gotta seal it yet

 

[pete_86]

Cutting boards are always great to make and get plenty of use. A few yrs back I got large one for Christmas and I had to take my router to it in order to cut a channel for drippings. LOL.

Anyone interested in sharing shop pics? I work out of a spare bedroom with benchtop tools, it works for me for now. Congrats on new house

This is going to be a small shelf. Not sure which room to put it in yet.

Got my last batch of wood back from my buddy yesterday. 1336 bd ft of chestnut oak and 704 bd ft of walnut. Cost me $480 to have it all milled so that's right around 23.5 cents a bd ft.
