Building Lake Corona

My House is all oak trim, so I really don稚 know that I have a use for Walnut but I hate to just saw it up for firewood.

Put just the logs on Kijiji or something. If you don't want them someone else will.

I am so jealous... we pay dearly for milled walnut around here. Any hardwood for that matter. Doesn't help that there aren't walnut tree around here either. I'm a woodworker and can't afford woodworking with stuff like that!

Very nice! What are your plans for it?

Not sure yet. Nothing specific planned at the moment. I will save some of it for replacement wood for a project we just finished not too long ago at our wedding venue. We made some arched doors out of walnut for the outside wedding patio. They are just individual slats and can be removed. At some point I will only be able to plane and refinish so many times and will need replaced. Here's a pic.

just kills me that you 'freely' use fine hardwoods in large applications. That would a cedar wood here. Again... soooo jealous.

It depends on how straight and defect free they are. Also, since you are the one who will be using them; what you plan to make from them. A good sawyer can produce some pretty nice small dimension lumber for doing cabinet work and other projects. If you want a 16 foot fireplace mantel though and there's a big piece of rot in the middle, it would be more difficult.

Actually, I am find it easier to sell with rot or deformities. Only problem is I post 3 Red Oak pieces for sale and they all want 6 pieces.

Brandi, do you have a saw mill handy?

I grew up with a barn full of dried oak, walnut, cherry lumber to make things with.

I have a Woodmizer LT40 Wide Hydraulic diesel just a stone's throw from my back door. I thought you knew I had one.:confused3:
