Some of this came from trees harvested on Rusty's dairy farm, in western NY State, and some of it is local (WV), from trees killed by horses eating the bark & ringing the tree so they were being cleared out of bottom land pasture not far from here. None have the dark brown heartwood shown in one pix of that link to the uk's problems. Cream white wood, ray flecked like 1/4 sawn oak, but much tighter grained so TiteBond-III doesn't bleed out the other side when clamping up. I have about 200 feet of 1x6 and about 100 foot of 2x6, with the 2 by presently clamped to a steel frame & seasoning straighter than if just stickered in a pile. Been clamped up for about 4 years now, bout time to do something with it next summer. :) > Steve Blackmore > -- > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > ------ October Webinars: Code for Performance > Free Intel webinars can help you accelerate application performance. > Explore tips for MPI, OpenMP, advanced profiling, and more.
