Good morning! We got .19" yesterday with part of it in the form of pea-sized hail. I forgot to submit my EPA permit to burn yesterday but it didn't seem to affect the fire.

Morning fellas. Gona do another tree removal this afternoon. Nothing major, just a 30 ft tall 2 ft stick with not much left on it branch wise. Should go pretty quick.

Hope everyone has a good Sunday.

Made a work bench for my sisters new shop.

Thought the live edge would be a nice touch.

2 inches thick? How long did you let it dry, before building with it? Looks good.

Dry, LOL. Ain't nobody got time for that; He probably milled it the day before...

It sure doesn't look like it's been around long, but I wasn't sure.

2.5” thick,,

Milled it a year ago.

Anchored it only in the middle. It’s free to move a little.

If a guy mills slabs and waits for them to be ~10%, he won’t like the results..

Get em below 20%, and seal them up on all sides..

I remember John Talifarrio chainsaw milling a huge chunk of pecan at my first GTG..

The neighbor lady took a slab home and sanded it..
then coated it in a few layers of polyurethane and made an outdoor table out of it..

It’s still there.. still looks cool..

That's been 10 years ago

My theory is, warping and cracking is caused by uneven drying of various areas of a given piece of wood..

Keep it from drying, and you can mitigate the problem.
Seal that bugger up as soon as it’s “dry enough”..

Milled a nice cedar log this weekend.

What do you recommend using to seal it?
