Trip to the sawmill
I went to the saw mill the other day. My intent was to transfer some his
unwanted inventory to my empty barn space. He had a roughly 450 bf pile of miscellaneous "pallet wood" that he said I could have for 40 cents a foot: mostly maple, about 100 bf of red oak and maybe 65bf of ash. What he calls pallet wood means I'll have have to put 25% of it in the wood stove to remove defects. For me this is the next half decade of drawer sides and shop fixtures so I'm happy. I did fine some peculiar defects which I'm thinking should be used to effect is something, but Im not sure what. I have about 12 hard maple boards with tap holes. The taps seem to cause a grey stain that travels for a foot or two up and down past the tap. I would appreciate any ideas of how to best use this "feature". Thanks for looking, Steve ** Posted from http://www.teranews.com ** |

Could make an interesting rustic style furniture. Or maybe a pallet. I can see a headline next year though. "Maple Syrup Farmer Attacked By Raging Woodworker" |

Trip to the sawmill
They look to me like the holes made by borer bees in our area.
Nasty, destructive beasts, will make holes in ANYTHING wood, even got one of my shovel handles. We keep after them with pesticide anytime we see them trying to make a nest. You might check to be sure you don't have this sort of critter or any of it's larvae in your treasure trove. Kate "Edwin Pawlowski" wrote in message . ..
