Milled some Walnut today...

You just wait until we get those oak slabs! Gonna make a live edge dining room table out of those suckers. I got a guy who can stick em together and make them shine.

Don't hold out on me Joe....

I’ve got a big walnut crotch that’s about 6” thick that I cut for a table top. It was painted and stacked with others about 5 years ago or so. One of these days I’ll finish it up.

Painted with.......?

Paint.


Lol, not sure. I came over to the local, small mill, woodworker in town. He wanted me to cut some big ponderosa pine table tops with my 090 and 7’ bar. We decided to do a few walnut ones while we were at it. Deal was, I cut em and he cured em. He painted both sides so they dried slow. Then he stickerd and stacked em in a storage shed, turning and rotating.

The pine still split and separated like crazy, walnut isn’t to bad.

Have to get some when I get home.

It’s not huge, but decent for walnut. Maybe 4’x 2’

lol, dik. I thought you might have painted it with a preservative or something specific for the drying process.

This is what I'll use on fresh log ends.

The grain is beautiful from what I remember. Was quite a few years ago

Went out and milled some more Walnut this morning. Took @JoeDirt with me. He got to run the mill and make himself some slabs. First log was for my table pieces. Milled them 2.5" and they are around 18" wide and 90" long.
