Acquired So Black Walnut Today

[Crrunion]

A friend has several acres of hardwood and invited me to come get some BW. He has a lot of standing BW and I brought back more than a Walmart bag of nuts which I will enjoy eating. I also brought back a log that has been on the ground for more than 15 years. The wood is solid. The log is 10' 5" long and we think I should get 6 - 8 boards 1" thick about 6 1/2 or 7" wide. He going to bring up another log on Saturday which I will get also. Now if I just had the skills to make something really nice out of it. I'm going to do another project or two first, to get back into the swing of working wood again. Then I'd like to turn some of that BW into a Vienna Regulator clock case. Wish me luck!

Take care

I got the second log today and it is better than the first. I believe the guys are going to saw it next week. I also got several "blocks" that should make some nice turning pieces. I should be good on black walnut for a good while.
