What are you building with your milled wood?

Got some more milling to do. Gonna do a muffler mod first to help blow the exhaust away.

LAST coat, more sanding than I wanted to, more epoxy than I thought, advice for others : do NOT apply West Systems epoxy unless indoors, or at least 10 hours of sunlight

Those rays look awesome!

Thanks for the kind words men !!

Crazy how in the direct sunlight the table appears orangish/golden, but in the shade or cloudy it’s more brownish

I still have to trim the ends and give it one more quick sanding, then a final clear topcoat with some UV protection. Finished length will be just over 11’ and 90% of the table is over 50” wide

Made a few boards for the trailer. Old ones were quarter inch plywood and pretty worn out.

Yes. It was a blow over from the summer.

As soon as it dries out, put something on it to protect it from rot.

 

[MustangMike]

Put some new Shag Bark Hickory handles on the wheelbarrow and used Watco Teak Oil to protect it.

Will see how it holds up, but should be easy to touch it up when needed.

Also got 16 Butternut Squash from the garden today. Still have a couple of green ones one, but these looked ready to harvest.

Nice Mike. Put a few coats of that on.

 

[MustangMike]

Did, it stayed "wet" for days!

 

[RI Chevy]

Lol. Yes. But I think it gets absorbed into wood.

 

[MustangMike]

Almost all of the products claim that.

Spar Urethane and Epoxy both look good and hold up very well in doors, but there does not seem to be many products that let you see the wood grain, but hold up outside.

Do any of you use a crank winch so you dont have to push it through?
