Had this burry oak offcut in my workshop for around 4 years. Originally milled with an alaskan then squared up with the mini mill.

Got a local joinery shop to put through their thicknesser and then got the waney edge sand blasted.

Came out lovely [emoji108]IMG_20191021_181350_986.jpeg

Stunning! Im not sure if my eyes would be drawn to the licking flames or the beautiful grain on the Beam. 

 

Hows the Sapwood holding up?

Some of the sapwood had gone a bit spongey but most of that was removed with sand blasting. I treated the rest for rot and woodworm and the odd soft spot treated with wood hardener.

Looks awesome.
 
ive always wished I could be more artistic. It’s sickening to think of all the wood I have chipped, logged, or burnt over the years that could have made something real nice 
You're not alone Steve, I know a few guys that firewooded some stunning timber in the past because that's what was done.

In my early years the company I started with used to sub to a forestry/timber company, taking on any work where climbing was required. Part of the deal was we took firewood off site also.

 

the boss went to offload timber midway through the day on one occasion. Determined to impress I managed to ring up a whole sycamore trunk before he got back.

 

unfortunately it was ripple grain sycamore and was supposed to have been left for the timber merchant ?
