Re-Milling Timbers

With winter on it's way and an unheated shop, it is time for tune ups and storage for the tools.

Re-milling timbers into boards for next years furniture making has been giving me some unexpected surprises. An 8x8x16' walnut timber buried beneath years of grime, and insect infestation will yield an exciting piece this spring. Several Beech beams have also yielded some beautiful boards. I am still optimistic that I will uncover another oak timber to complete the topless Coffee table.

These Timbers were salvaged from a Century Timber Frame Barn in Medina County. Great thanks to Bob for arranging to have these timbers delivered to my shop.
