Got me a decent and solid walnut log

About 26 inches in diameter. Should make some good boards.

Looks like a good one.

Cut a good size sycamore at the neighbors this afternoon.

 

[Jetmd]

Do you have any idea what most of the Sycamore boards get used for?

Interior stuff is what I hear.
I've got a guy asking for a few wide live edge slabs out of the biggest ones.

Isn’t it real tough to split, interlocking like Euc?

Yup, I put everything that wouldn't make sawlogs in the burn pile.
It saws like butter, so I enjoy milling it.

I remember as a teenager getting 3 splitting wedges stuck in a big piece, dad was not amused.

Morning everybody.

Good morning folks. 19f to ~32f says the weather guessers. If they are to be believed, we should be stocking up on supplies and get ready to hunker down for the weekend. Naw, not happening here, supplies ya, staying in is not to likely. Stay safe all.

Morning everybody.

Good morning sir. Glad to still breath with heartbeat I am.

Just read "the supremes in D. C. Are allowing Texas immigration law to be enforced". Illegally entering Texas breaks state law and the invader can be deported. How bout Arizona & New Mexico stepping up to the plate also?

 

[Jetmd]

That would be good if they did!

Note to self: Don’t let wife buy coffee in the future. I have only had one that was worse, some Kenyan coffee that looked and tasted like mud.

My normal on the left from Sam's club. An occasional treat on the left.

A Medium roast for our daily variety. We grind enuf for 2 or 3 days at a time, so always tasty IMO. Every now and then we'll grab some small batch fresh roast for something different.

I was at an AA meeting & commented on the coffee not being ready when I arrived then someone else commented on the quality of the brew after it was done.

The old boy that had made the stuff said “ Well boys, if you don’t like the brew or that its being prepared for you then you just volunteered for the job. “

And just like that we became the coffee prep guys for the next year…

Needless to say I have learned to be appreciative of the coffee that is prepared at AA meetings.

I like the way you are thinking Thomas, just buy it yourself that way you get the stuff you want. No sense in telling your wife you don’t like the way she shops….

Like trying to split a giant eraser.

Not hard though. Mills great.
