Spanky 1146 Report post Posted November 2, 2019 No, that’s from the same log, as what you have but 4/4. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spanky 1146 Report post Posted November 2, 2019 Bmac, you got all the 9/4 lumber from that log but two 9/4 piece’s and I have them. I kept all the 4/4 lumber from that log. Well the Houston Boy talked me out of one 4/4 piece. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bmac 891 Report post Posted November 2, 2019 That is some real nice wood to work. Smooth as butter. I think I remember Dale said he didn't like that hard sugar maple, do I remember right? Compared to walnut, which is much more open grain, or cherry, which should be more like the maple, this maple is fun. Completely different feeling. Only complaint is it does want to burn easily. Nevertheless, I'm saving every scrap! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

True, but after I showed him a tiger hard maple log the ole boy had a change of mind. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

B1rdhunter 106 Report post Posted November 5, 2019 Trenched the footings on October 3rd 2018, had a lite shower that night and the boys wanted to wait for a day to let things dry before setting forms...........then we had 8 inches the next day and night. Been fighting the weather since then but it is turning out really nice. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
