Got about 43 bf of QSWO and 20 of FSWO. Here some pre and post planing. I didn't hit a board with some nails...Luckily it was with dull blades.

Pre

Post
Some really sweet QS flecks

All planed up.

Some nail action.

Some really nice wood. Time to build some stuff.

After what I have seen in your other thread with the gifts I can't wait to see what you have coming out of these

That actually looks like some bullet action to me - steel in oak cause a black streak but lead just kind of lays there. Lead is a lot softer than steel when you hit a nail with a saw blade - um... you know it :roll: but lead being so soft you just keep on sawing not even noticing. NC Being a big time hunting state bullets are rather common place in forest trees.

+1 I have ran across it myself. No damage to the blades :eusa_danc:eusa_danc

Ahhh that makes a lot of sense. I'm gunna to hunt me some trees later!

I was planing some of the hard maple yesterday for the counter top project and found some metal. I was surprised I didn't hear it when it went through the planer. I had a magnet handy and it didn't stick. I dug it out with a knife and figured it was lead. I was busy and didn't think much about it. As much as I shoot, I am surprised it didn't occur to me that it was from a bullet or other lead shot! I can't tell that it hurt my planer blades at all. I am happy about that because I had just changed them!

Wes, those really came out nice - can't wait to see the finished product.

+2 re the lead - it looks like shotgun pellet remnants to me.
