Went down to the beach yesterday and milled up a piece of Manitoba maple, AKA box elder. It was badly rotten on one end but I still managed to get four decent slabs and a bunch of smaller pieces. They were nice because they had great brilliant colour and weren't too cracky, which this wood often is.
I closed the deal to rent my neighbour's garage for a year, so that will provide some relief on the storage front.

Thanks guys! Jacques, did you ever use any of that wood that you and Diasuke grabbed a couple years ago?
ReplyDeletenot yet. most of it is in the shop and hanging out just waiting for the right piece to come along. some of it has definitely come close to being cut up!
ReplyDeletei'm sure that once my production goes up...
