    When I was a kid my dad called that "rich pine". We would go out in the woods and bring back for starting up the pop belly stove every morning. Love your video's.

    I watch videos where they fill those holes and pockets with colored epoxy, and build tables and things, do a final sanding, and pour clear epoxy over the top, and the results are stunning for furniture, somebody would love to get thier hands on these pieces, keep em coming buddy, we love watching.

    Wes, that was great that you took the time to investigate that long. I'm sure you made a lot of viewers happy, and the slabs should make an interesting table top or whatever. Great video, i miss seeing the "little one" he makes my day when he is in your videos.

    When I was younger hanging around my grandfather we gathered what we called “rich pine” from dead decaying stumps in the forest. These were from trees that had died why still standing. The sap seemed to flow down into the stump. He would use this to start fires but would also soak pieces in water that he used as a cleaner. His version of “pine-sol”.

    Have you considered installing a small air compressor near your mill? You could use it to blow off the saw dust from your slabs, maybe use it to help clean your mill and air up flat tires that seem to happen at the most inopportune times! Great video share Wes. Thanks, Ed

    Cut each slab thinner and then use the thinner wood as the doors of an end table, or a tall cabinet in the kitchen or dining room. Oo-oo, how about a gun cabinet. They all would be interesting with book matched doors. And the rest of the finish surface lumber of course would come from that same log (you've got plenty other home cut lumber in your stash for framing and shelves).

    The figure is nice for sure, but the pitchy sections would be a bugger to finish unless maybe you epoxied the entire slab on a project. I have finished over pitch before and it is futile. I was curious too when you scrapped it. Thanks.

    Here at home we call that a "cat face" and it is caused by the spores of fusiform rust (not sure about the spelling). The alternate host is an oak species, you can look it up and you should be able to get a description of the life cycle. Hope this helps.
