The wood pile

This may not be furniture but should be someday. This is about 1100 board feet of walnut, maple and cherry.








The wood is from the farm I grew up on in Michigan. There still one truck load left there that I'll get in December. Most of the wood is walnut. The logs on top of the stack are chestnut from a tree here in Winston Salem. As you can see below some of the walnut is 16.5" wide by 10' to 12' long.





Almost all this is cut at 8/4 thickness, so it will probably take about 2 years to dry. Most of it is also clear of any defects and has some pretty spectacular grain. Currently I'm a little over 800 board feet of walnut, and 200 of maple and 150 of cherry. Still more to come.



With all this lumber to store I went ahead and added storage space to the back side of the shop






The total size is 10' wide by 18' long. As you can see its built into the hill so I ended up doing a alot of digging there for awhile. So far its been very handy for storage, and my roofing job seems to be keeping it pretty dry.
