I find unique timber and cut it up
No huge logs today, just money!
First on the mill was a small piece of Persian Sliktree, sliced this one up for turkey pot call and duck/game call sized pieces. The smaller, slices will become pen blanks.
The hardest part about milling smaller logs on a band sawmill, clamping the dang things down and not having to fiddle-fart with them during the cutting.
The next piece was a 'leftover' piece of American Sweetgum. I had just sliced the log in half to get for bowl blanks...but I needed to get some cha-ching out of the remaining part. So I sliced a 2-1/8" thick and two 1-1/8" thick slices for call blanks.
