Hi, brand new to this site, more of a woodworker groupie : ). I hope I'm posting this in the right place?
I have an acre right outside Raleigh and have some trees/wood that I thought someone might like.
One is a diseased/spalted? maple that needs to come down, although no rush on it. It's not...
Back last Fall, my father-in-law had a 1940's barn torn down, and gave me first pick of boards for my lumber stash. Boards pulled were all in the dry, and ranged from 8-14 inches wide, and 81/2 feet long. Beautiful stuff, once cleaned up. All are wormy chestnut.
As a small token of...
I wrote about the nice black walnut logs I had and have since added two Chestnut trees ad one Locust to my stack of logs ready to be slabbed / cut into lumber.
Owenby and Moretz came by and indicated they would be back, one fellow want $650 to come and take the logs to a sawyer and return the...
I have this rather large dry burl that I have been told is American Chestnut and I wanted to get a piece tested by a lab that has the capability to analyse and confirm.
It is very old, dense (43 pounds), large(18 x 15 x 11) and looks exactly like chestnut burl I have seen in pictures, and...
Apologies if this is posted twice, not sure what I'm doing.
I found this site while looking for a wooden baby rattle to purchase. (Still haven't found).
I recently bought a jigsaw to do a little scroll piece for a simple window seat I made. While it was really fun, I'm still afraid of...
I have been resurrecting an old banjo for my niece to play. While standing in the basement staring up at the ceiling, which I do lot when trying to think of how to do something, I noticed the pile of Wormy chestnut boards that came out of a house (Old room panel board).
Since I am easily...

I have 8 pieces of Wormy Chestnut molding/casing that came from a home renovation project. They are from the doors and windows. They measure about 7 foot on the long pieces. The thick edge is .75" and the .25" on the thin side with the width at 4".
Right now my only thoughts are (A) make some...
Please excuse me for my ignorance, for I am a mere and lowly greenhorn when it comes to decifering types of wood, especially old barn wood. Also, I apologize if this topic has already been covered in the past. I am new to "woodworkers".
I have bought "wormy chestnut". I have taken down an old...
Was wandering in an unusual place on craigs list (for me anyway) and saw this:
Completely finished and sanded 3/4" x 8" x 10' beautiful wormy chestnut boards. 32 Total planks - barn-stored and protected for many years. $1,500 ($8.00/per board foot). Pick-up only (Concord, NC). Please respond via...
I have about 20 old Chestnut logs left over from assembling an old cabin on the farm (Lee County). I would like to sell the logs after re-sawing them.
They are weathered so they will have to be shaved so to speak to get the undesirable material off. The remainder will be about 8"x10" and 20'...
