Really enjoyed this video Jeff, I love the suprise you can get when opening a log up, the different colours, grains etc . Looking forward to more of these and seeing what you create from them. I hope you and yours are well and enjoying this time of year. All the best from the UK. 🎸
Enjoyed the video. I like you channel because of the variety of projects. That board you wiped down looks really good. Luckily that rip chain has less cutters than a regular chain.
That one sample board that you ran through the sander and hit with some mineral spirits I'm guessing looks fantastic. The wood looks almost like some Myrtle wood just a bit more yellow instead of reds and tans. It is pretty stuff. Sure hope you are able to make some things out of it. Did you happen to test the board with a moisture meter to see how much moisture it still has? I know it looked well dried from being out in the elements and drying for some time but it would be nice to know just how wet it might still be on the inside of the log.
I'm not a luthier myself, but I wonder if you could get some sides out that lumber. I'm guessing you get backs, but I don't know what the grain orientation needs to be to bend sides. It sure is pretty.
Thanks for sharing.
I enjoyed the video man! I look forward to more Alaskan mill content…. Definitely something I want to get into also!

I stain mine with burnt motor oil and diesel and it seems to work really well
