not really. when it's really dry i can see what looks like old foot prints of posibble foundations. driiled threw a few with the augar on the bobcat. soft bricks

Thank you. By chance are you guys going to the Paul bunyun show in Oct in Ohio? My wife actually got time off approved. So will be there a day early and leaven Monday. Going to do some extra stuff at the state park.

@@chrissheathewoodguy We are going up to Boonville NY for Woodsmen Field Days but not to Bunyan.

@@atexinc.5472 white oak is what it is.

I'll be cutting the cookies 3 inches deep. if some one wants them for blanks they can still do that. There is more value in the cookies. like I said if anyone wants some contact me. there is plenty of log sections that would do just fine for turning as well.

@@chrissheathewoodguy You are a good man, thank you for the video.

It died

yes

I'll sell some. But i'll keep most of it. my plains are to build two tables and benchs for the tables and serveral serving tables for our Historic log home. the floor is chestnut on both floors.

at first that's what i thought, but i have a friend with the exstension office stop by and he confirmed it as American chestnut . I did cut down a chestnut oak a few years back and use the wood allot. you can tell the difference color for sure and the end grain view really tellls the difference. we do have two other trees near by that sofar are doing well. not as big around but taller.

I would agree my friend it’s chestnut oak or English oak

@kenroythompson918 down to 15 % I just did those to keep in the house. I have 4 logs to mill up. One is done. They all will need drying.

@@chrissheathewoodguylove those two pieces but I need to give you a call I am looking a walnut cookie and a maple cookie for a content build for my channel.

@Twobrothersoutdoors I'm going to look into them. I'm looking at losing two sections of my lungs. The heat is killing my literally.

@@chrissheathewoodguy our thoughts and prayers 🙏 are with you!

I saw that. I'm not sure that that would meet my needs. I was hoping a manufacture might reach out that specializes in that need.

The legs seem to be very popular. being that people often have other pieces that have them and like that they match other items.

The lumber is black gum.. just sold the benches today. great looking lumber.

Got a good pic of the bench?

@@kenashton32 this is the only pics /video i made.

@tomskatteboe8527 this would be for special projects.

Ambrosia Maple is one of my favorites

@@ashadowawhisper I'm kind of a fan of black heart soft maple

nope

I believe these are sweet gum trees. Liqudambar styrasaflora. Forgive my spelling it's been a few years. I can see my Forestry instructor shaking his head. Lol The thorny balls are often labeled porkypine eggs. Oh , if using for fire logs you'll get more heat trying to split this wood than burning.

directnativeplants.com/product/black-gum/ this another type of gum tree we have. i don't see it as much.

@kenashton32 I've done some epoxy. I've done some with glass tops and open but with the wood sealed.

i'm hopping a 360 is something i can swing in the near future. i use money from members and the monthly pay out to cover stuff like that.

How am I damaging the forest?

How long would you break it in before tuning?

@@chrissheathewoodguy I don't know, it just sounded good 🤔 Just kidding. Rule of thumb for small engines is about 10 hours. I would say you're probably already broke in if it needs tweaking....do it

Cell phone

thanks for watching. sometimes things don't turn as well as you planed.

As for the heat in the winter around 85 to 90 if i shut it up tight and it's really sunning and temps are above the 40's . But the winter dries stuff faster and the humitiy dropes way down. If i load the kiln up in say late november or december I don't take the wood out till after late may . depends when i can get the heat above 130 ish. for 24 hrs

@@chrissheathewoodguyYes, winter is great for air drying here too.
