Hi All, it's been awhile. I've been working out of town. Just thought I'd post a few pix of some of the cherry I milled today, 4/4 X 10" X 11'. Very pretty stuff.:D

Hi Randy,:wave:
That is some killer cherry. Good for you.
The only problem I see in having that wood is that it leads to about a solid month long project to do the wood justice. :eek: You better not cut any more unless you just want too:rolleyes: :rofl: :rofl: .
Great find.

I've used a fair bit of American cherry over the last couple of years, but none of it looked like that!

It just goes to confirm my suspicions that like the French and their wine, you guys keep the good stuff for yourselves!

It must be great to have you own milling setup and have access to the raw materials that you do. I sure wish that I had more storage space so that I could buy enough of your stuff to make it worthwhile. We need a group of guys around the area that would be willing to order enough to make up a load and split it up.

Hi Jim Bergstrom, I haven't even put a moisture meter to it, it's fresh off the log green. Got two more logs of it to do tomorrow. It's all from the same tree so I hope it will be as pretty.:D
 
Ah. lots of time to decide then huh? :D

Sticker it then wait and see if you get an order or something like that?

I wouldn't make much if I was in your shoes because I would be tempted to hoard all the good stuff :eek: :dunno:
 
You'll have that from time to time

Yep, You'll have that from time to time. I have a tendency to "Grade" what comes off the mill. Theres a "MY Pile" and a "Their Pile" :rofl: I don't have time to use much though I just like to saw it :thumb: .

Hi Larry merlau;42395, Yes it's just flat sawn. I can cut logs upto 31" and boards 24"wide and 23 feets long. I don't know anything about the tree, but I have sawn a bunch of'em and that is the wildest looking grain I have seen yet in cherry. It kinda fades as it dry's but I'm sure it will return with a finish.:D
