The really cool part is that the guy I'm working with lives near Coop and agreed to haul him some lumber! Pretty damn good of him to do! wait does that mean he'd be going through Dallas? lol Some amazing looking walnut there ... one day my skills will be good enough to do something like that justice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spanky Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Coop, don’t hold back on your order you are getting free shipping to Houston. I can get the ole red goat wagon and 25 ft gooseneck trailer out. I can haul around 4,000 bdft at $10.00 bdft. I can see my ship coming in. ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not hard to imagine Coop setting up a lawn chair at the mailbox waiting for his Pandemic Stimlus check aka Spanky Lumber Fund. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spanky Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Well, I have some bad news. Loaded the kiln up this morning and I have a water pump going to the kiln that want run. So no hot water going to the kiln. I have ordered two new pumps today, but they are coming out of New York. I should get them by Monday.

Spanky Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 It’s hard to run up on a good curly white oak and a good curly walnut. Some tree’s will have alittle far a foot or two on one side. But the good one’s are curly the whole log and are curly to the heart of the log. They are super hard to find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 That is crazy white oak! I have built quite a bit out of white oak and have never seen a board like that. How often do you run across wood that figured? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How often do you run across wood that figured? I come up with around 100 to 200 bdft of the curly white oak lumber a year, like that. That whole log was as good as the first board. I have a guy here that will buy all the curly lumber that I will let him have. He got 75 bdft of the curly white oak lumber. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coop Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Rickey, are the ridges on the outside of the log a giveaway that it was going to be curly? That’s purty! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spanky Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Yes Coop, if the bark off a log you can read it like reading a newpaper for curls or tiger wood. If the bark on the log you can’t see any tiger wood forsure. If a tree super curly and the bark on it and if you know what you are looking at, you can tell if it’s curly.

Coop Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 See, you taught me me good. If it were standing on the side of a mountain, I would have spotted it a hundred yards off. Wouldn’t have seen the forest for that tree! ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
