September 14, 20178 yr Popular Post When I picked up the lumber for the 5 Walnut plaques (just posted about those) I noticed a 'nugget' on the end of one board. So I cut that off and resawed it today and it's gorgeous! It ended up about 17" x 20" x 1/4" thick in its bookmatched and sanded to 220 form. Now I have to decide what to do with it... I have a few ideas but nothing concrete yet. The boards were very straight except for right at the end on this particular one so I had to be careful resawing it. Opened up to reveal the nugget - Lots of surfacing needed to get them equal and level - Glued - Bookmatched, sanded to 220 grit - More later when I figure out what I want to do with this - David Edited December 5, 20178 yr by Ron Dudelston tags added
September 14, 20178 yr sexy. looks like a great door panel for a cabinet. or plane it to consistent thickness and make it a table top. i'd border it to make it look thicker, and maybe even glue it to some plywood for stability.

September 15, 20178 yr Author Popular Post I've been setting a few of these aside over the last few months so I dug some out and resawed them tonight. None quite as spectacular but awfully nice, definitely worth the effort to resaw. David
September 15, 20178 yr Beautiful. Just goes to show, you can't judge a book or a board by it's cover. Looking forward to seeing what you decide on all these pieces.
September 15, 20178 yr Author I jointed the edge on the long one - took a while. Btw, this is a board my sawmill guy just gave me because he had no use for it. I like him more and more each time I buy from him! David
