Soon after joining this wonderful place/thing, I had participated in a "wood run", getting 100bf of walnut from Saw4you(jack). It had been sitting in the middle of the shop floor with a fan blowing across it 24hr's a day for the last 4-5 months and appears to now be "mostly dry" . The 8/4 still has a bit more to go.
On Friday, Splint Eastwood was nice enough to pick up a Triton rack for me from turtlewood (thank you Kevin). Matt and I installed it and loaded it today.
Anyone know how much appx 90bf of mostly dry walnut weighs? It hasn't pulled away from the wall yet, and I used extra long lag bolts into the center of the studs, but me thinks I'm a bit over the 660lb rating w/ 90bf walnut and 20-30bf of misc oak/pine/mdf/etc? It'll probably hold ?:XXfridge:

Thats ambrosia, some with live edges, on the left - standing upright. Also from Jack.
Oh, and the 3/4 oak ply in the bottom foregound is from HD cutoff bin. It's a full 4x8 sheet cut in half, for $5.01 each piece. Couldn't beleive it when I found it.
