What are you building with your milled wood?

Helluva slab there! Looks great, but too bad it cost you another chain. Was this thing next to a nail factory or what?

That will be a great table! We'll need pictures down the road.

You might be waiting a while, a year or so to dry this big sod!! But yes I'll take lots of photos when I start working it. Sadly the tree was on a fence line that must have had a number of erections over the years!

Progress update - just about ready for some finish on the tables.

Just finished this cabinet for my wife's birthday with some black walnut, Homemade hardware, hand cut dovetails, ebony drawer pulls.

Drawer fronts were cut from one piece for grain matching.

Just another update, got the slab off for the table top and then hit yet more nails buried 12 inches into the tree!

Long and short is I trashed my third chain on this log so it's been ringed up for firewood!! That'll teach me to try and mill a yard tree!

However, I got this beauty, here it is soaked in pentacryl to try and stop it warping and cracking View attachment 34012
And the nail that my mill spat out at me with great velocity View attachment 34013

Ouch, That's a good looking slab.

Awesome work, I bet you can hear those free steaks sizzling now!

Awesome job. Keep the pics coming. I bet the grain will pop as soon as you apply the stain and finish.

How are you cutting the joints so they fit together so nice ? Some kind of dato or router jig ?

 

[TimRD]

Looks like the jig is set up on the table saw up above to me. Looks like a good setup, the joints are great.

Thanks! Yes @TimRD is right - cut all of the tenons and bridle joints with this tablesaw jig, and a Freud 20T flat top rip blade (real nice blade BTW):

Hey fellas, here is my headboard I whipped up for my wife. Nothing fancy but I'm happy with it.

first time I milled.

We installed the restaurant booths last weekend. If you're ever in Newfane NY, come to Calhoon's Pub and check them out!

Real nice work there!
