The super good curly logs with ambrosia are hard to get.

You got 6 ft of the butt end of the board on all that order of curly ambrosia maple.

That from the last shipment?

Here a couple pics of curly cherry lumber. Look at the outside of the boards in the first pic, thats what a curly tree will look like.

Man are going to start selling lumber to? The Houston boy my customer.

Coop gets spoon fed and you get the sugar tit!

You get spoon fed Coop. I have yours on sticks air drying waiting on the kiln.

RIW (Dale) said the out of state boy’s wasn’t getting all of the Tennessee Curly Cherry.

Coop save your money I have the curly cherry lumber. Trying to get stocked up for Cousin Dave. If I get any money from him I want you to build me a frame to put it in.

I keep thinking I am talking to country boy’s on here. Curly trees are hard to find forsure. So, somebody logging where they are alot of curly trees. I have got 4 or 5 curly cherry logs in a week. So they are cutting on the curly side (right) of the mtn. Plus one tiger hard maple.

I picked up two more curly cherry logs today. Somebody logging on the right side of the mtn.

Wait Coop, I will send 80 bdft of curly cherry lumber to Houston, you build two chairs and send one back to Tennessee. I want one, but Bmac ( well maybe chestnut) the only guys that I know that can build one and I get to sit in it before I die of old age. Just joking Coop you may have yours builded by now.

They are more than one style of curls to read on a curly log to know if its curly. The average Joe would say this log has no curls. But he would be wrong.

I picked the curly cherry log out at a log yard a few days ago. The owner said that log not curly. OK we will see!

Coop you need to make a second chair out of curly cherry.

9/4 fresh cut curly cherry. My last curly cherry log.

Ain’t that pretty! $$$$$ The rainbow woodworkers need lumber to.

I think the tree sap runs up and down with the sun going north and south. Cutting timber you can tell by the middle of July that the tree sap has started down in the trees. It will start coming back up by the first of the year. Here the bark will start coming off the logs by March and by late August you can’t knock it off. November and December would be the best months to cut trees with low sap. I can put 2,000 bdft of green lumber in my kiln and for the first 4 or 5 days gals and gals of water will come out of the lumber.

If you load green oak lumber in a kiln you will make kindling out of it. I’m sure some of the new kilns you can kiln dry green oak lumber in.

Around 200 bdft of curly hard maple. I do mix thicknesses in the kiln. I will put 4/4 and 8/4 in the kiln. The 4/4 will get dry and I will take it out and load back on the 8/4. All oak lumber needs to be air dried to 20% or under before I put it in the kiln.

Woodworkers are hard to cut lumber for. One wants this thickness one wants another. One wants shorts and the next guy wants long lumber. You would need a store as be as Walmart to put all the lumber in to please all the woodworkers. I gave up on that and just cut lumber now. I have started cutting 9/4 so if they want to resaw it to 4/4 book matched pieces they can.

The curls are starting to show up some now.

A poorboy has to work!

I bet Cousin Dave likes that!

You wanted to see just how curly.
