These slabs will be for sale in a few months.
Pm me for details.

How much more do you think the slabs would have been worth of you left them with the live edge and how much wider would they have been?

Good question Andy,
As there wasn't much cut off, the value is almost the same.
However the desirability is affected,
If you want straight board you can trim it, if you want waney you'd look elsewhere.
So a bigger mill is in the planning stages.
Personally I prefer waney edge, but I'm warming to the resin river tables.

Few hours this afternoon on this oak log we dragged out a pond last year ... sap wood is shot but the heart Wood was spot on.

Looking great. Is it red oak

[MattyF]

Think it’s English By the surrounding trees .... it was probably in the pond for ten or more years !! Can’t believe the little igland winch pulled it had to double up pulleys and snapped a cable but I think was worth it.
