I am looking for a piece of white oak to be used for building an apple press (cider press). Old Salem in Winston-Salem wants to make an 1800s authentic apple press and has approached me about a piece of timber.
They want white oak...24"+ diameter and I'm not sure how long. I don't know why it has to be 24" in diameter. There is only 1 apple press that I have ever seen that used a large timber for pressing and I don't know why they would want to build that one. I am going to check their drawings (assuming they have some) next time I'm over their way.
I am going to walk some of my land this weekend to see what's there, but thought I would post to see what's out there.
Thanks,
Rod
