Well, the Christmas Gift Exchange list is out.....I have to find a present for my Grand daughter-in-law...... Bought about 25bft of Quarter Sawn Ash, today.... There are 11 boards in that stack..average width is just under 6"....all are around 3/4" thick. Hmmmmm, how about a Blanket/ Hope Chest build? Frame and panel? Or maybe a "6 board" style? been a while since I built a chest....maybe see what I can come up with? Give things about a week, or so...while the Single Brain Cell Sketch Up works things up into a "Plan" have to work around the snipes, though. grain looks decent enough....fellow did have a rack of these boards, so I might go back IF I need any more... Dovetailed corners? or, Tongue & Groove corners? Raised of flat panels....Bread board ends on a lid? Stay tuned..

Well...yard was mowed last night, just before it got too dark to see....came into the house...and not a single cold beer to be found... This morning...had a road trip to do with the Boss. Dropped her off at where she wanted to go....motored on down the highway...left turn at the old family graveyard.... Did a little wheel & deal......24 bf of Ash, with the Boss having to clean the fellow's house ( his "Boss" is away for a while) Stopped at Wall E World on the way home...Boss needed a couple things, I needed to correct the "No Beer" part. Got home..took a while to unload everything... Nice hat, just doesn't protect the ears, much. These boards are from the Wapak Shindig...finally got them in the house...the Ash? having issues with the right hand shaking....boards were 1 x 6 x 11'6"...cut in half to fit IN the van... Clamped together, and let it sit a few days....couple boards were bowed a bit ( will get a couple better views, when I get the tripod back upstairs) Grain isn't too bad...there are a couple knots in some of the planks. Some will need a straight edge sawn on them. Good news is, I barely made a dent in his supply... Boss saw a thing @ BigLots....that holds a fireplace insert, and can have a tv on the top. Door on each side of the insert. Need to sneak in with a camera, tape measure and notepad....and do a little measuring... By that time, the Ash should be about ready to mill... Stay tuned..( flooring stuff may get used as "accents")

OK, rehabs are done for now.....have a small stack of thin Poplar boards... Hiding in a corner for a reason? Mainly 1/2" thick 1x8s and 1x10s,with a couple 4/4 slabs thrown in. Why are they hiding? Because there is this stack of Cherry.. Lots of 4/4 x 6 and 4/4 x 8......Some of them are 6/4 pieces.. Some of the shorter stuff is 14"+ wide Single Brain Cell Sketch Up will be working overtime.....on this stash from Charles Neil at the Shindig' scrap pile. Might take a while..stay tuned for updates...
