Osage slab haul - pic heavy

(1/6) > >>

osage outlaw:
I recently cut some red osage logs that had interlocking grain.  There was no way I was going to try to split them.  They would be just as hard to split as elm.  I cut a few more trees and took them to a sawmill to get them cut into 2.25" and 1.25" slabs.  I want to start making some tables and benches out of osage.  I might try to find some bow wood in the thicker boards with straight grain.  I picked them up today and was happy with what I had to pay.  The boards got a little wet in the rain.  I think I got another inch shorter after unloading that trailer by myself.  My back wasn't very happy with me afterwards. 








You can see the waves in the grain.  I could see this in the bark before I cut the tree. 








The wind checks make some beautiful designs.  These will make an awesome coffee table.






I stickered them and stacked them in my garage for now.  I plan on moving them to another storage building eventually. 

Trapper Rob:
Those are going to make some beautiful tables.

upstatenybowyer:
I'd love to have a table and some benches made from those boards.  )P( Nice haul!

bjrogg:
 Very nice Clint. Can't wait to see what you make out of them.

Should make some real purty furnishings!  But I'm not sure I want to try to move the bigger ones by myself!  Nice haul!
