For Yous Burr Brownish Oak

I paid a catch to Yandles woods yard today in addition to spotted a slab of burr chocolate-brown oak. After trimming upwardly it measured 26" x 15" x 6" thick which made it manageable, although it has non been seasoned in addition to therefore was a dead weight in addition to real reasonably priced at merely over £100.

It was pretty much company burr in addition to volition brand wonderful panels or box lids later it's dried.

If I were to teach out the slab inwards ane slice it would stimulate got years to flavor in addition to would prepare enough of large cracks. I've constitute the best affair to create is resaw it on the ring saw to a thickness of 1 1/4" in addition to hither are the resulting boards. Before the in conclusion cutting the blade started vibrating quite badly which was worrying, peculiarly amongst the problems I've had amongst my Startrite ring saw (see my posts on Startrite). As it turned out it was merely the moisture sawdust clogging upwardly the tyres in addition to teeth on the blade, I had to build clean them upwardly twice earlier I was done which was a pain.

The grain is wonderful in addition to reminds me of ane of the cabinets on James Krenovs website. I take away to set this away inwards a nighttime corner in addition to stimulate got or in addition to therefore other expect inwards a twelvemonth or two!
