    Log to marking gauge

    A brief progression of a red oak log turned into a marking gauge. This is a more recent vintage of logs off trees in my yard than became this gauge. De-bark by hand, started sealing the ends after my first trip through Checking City, and let dry as a full log because I\'m too lazy to saw into...

    Baseball Bat: How do I cut the Maple log and dry the bat blanks?

    Got a nice Maple log last weekend that I think can produce about six baseball bats? Questions: 1) Is one type of Maple better than another for baseball bats? 2) Is there a particular way I should “remove” the bats from the log? 3) How do I dry to prevent warping and twisting? Probably enough...

    Heads-up lumber guys!

    Spotted this ad on Craigslist a few minutes ago, and anyone near Holly Springs with a little time and equipment can grab a nice tree at a bargain. Ad says Red Oak, but it doesn't look oaky to me! You be the judge....too far for me to go to get it. http://raleigh.craigslist.org/for/3510477803.html

    Cedar Log free to a good home

    Cut today. 16" to 18" in diameter at base. 56" circumference. 40' in length to where the top was lost in an ice storm. It is still probably 6 to 8" in diameter at the top. Nice & straight. There is some rot in the center at the base (see picture), but I haven't cut on up to see where...

    Electric log splitter

    Does anyone here have an electric log splitter? I'm beginning to think I'm not made of steel and could use some help with the firewood. Maybe if we had an easy way to split wood the wife and kids would help... So, what is a good brand? do they hold up well? Split tough wood easily? What is...

    Going to look at a monster oak log tomorrow.

    I received an e-mail today from a local homeowner that may have to remove an incredibly large red oak tree. It is 88" in diameter at 5' above grade, and they sent photos to prove it! At 7-1/2' in diameter, it's the largest red oak that I've seen in these parts (almost 24' in circumference)...

    Walnut log

    This log is 19" in diameter, 90" long, and 31" across the arms. It is in perfect condition and should have spectacular grain patterns across the crotch. Scribner calulator estimates 110 board feet of useable lumber although the real value of the log is the grain patterns the crotch will produce...

    Review of Carter Accuright Log Mill

    As a fledgling turner, I am always collecting promising looking logs when I see them on the side of the road. My problem is turning them into blanks. I dislike ripping logs with a chainsaw, so I decided to give the Carter Accuright Log Mill a try. So far I love it! It holds the log firm even...
