    Free Persimmon and Maples

    Okay, so I haven't fallen off the face of the Earth and I finally have something woodworking related to post. Hubby and I will be cutting down one very dead, mature Persimmon tree and some live Yellow Maples. If anyone is interested in us cutting it into anything other than firewood sized...

    boxwood & ebony needed

    I need boxwood branches, no smaller than 2" diameter. They are the traditional wood for chess sets (paired with ebony for the black side). So, I also need ebony, Macassar preferably, but any will do. Again, anything over 2" diameter, any length. And while I am making my Christmas...

    Anyone have some seasoned Persimmon wood available?

    I've heard a number of discussion about Persimmon being close to a true ebony and having very heavy, dark heartwood. As a luthier, I'm constantly using exotic woods from all over the world; I'd like to build a series of mandolins using local woods. I've got incredible local maple and nice...

    Small persimmon spoon

    A little spindle turning and hollowing (off the lathe) practice: It will be a small token of appreciation for someone who granted me fishing access. He likes primitive folk goods and there were several persimmon trees on his property. This came from Jack (no, I didn't cut down a tree to...

    Persimmon

    Hey guys, new member here. I have enjoyed reading the posts. I am in the Winston-Salem area and I just cut down a twin-trunk Persimmon. Both trunks were around 12-14 inches in diameter at the 4ft mark. I cut the trunks into roughly 4-to-6 foot sections and sealed both ends with sealtite from...

    Persimmon Tree Question

    This persimmon tree is in my back yard: I really liked the tree and enjoyed the fruits. But, as you can see, the top was knocked off in a storm. I hate to cut it down but I don't think it will ever be a pretty tree again. I thought about trying to get enough boards out of it to make a...

    Turning green persimmon

    I turned a few mallets from green persimmon Saturday. As soon as the were turned I started mopping on the danish oil. So far only very minor splits in the small end. When they dry I may sand a little. The middle one is sold, not sure what I will do with the others. The one on the right is an...

    Kyle was right about persimmon

    A week or so ago I posted a query about the practicality of milling up some persimmon. Kyle said he charged an extra blade fee for milling persimmon because it is so hard. I cut down a small one today and I have to say he's dead on target; it really slowed down my chainsaw so I know it'd be a...

    persimmon tree

    I'm having a rather large persimmon tree milled up. I need advice on the best way to have this milled. Do I cut it into boards or should I just leave it in a large square shape? Is this wood good for turners? I've never used persimmon before so I'm totally in the dark on this. Thanks, Charlie S
