    Default Having black walnut logs milled tomorrow.

    Having black walnut logs milled for the first time and I do not have specific projects in mind. So thoughts on what I should have milled. Also how I should have edges treated. On edges I think I have these options.

    Edges on both sides left not milled.

    One edge milled straight to have edge to put against table saw fence later.

    The logs are 26" diameter so have them cut down the middle producing one straight edge and more stable lumber.

    Log sizes 7'6" length 26" dia. straight clear no branches. 16' X 26"-22" some branches 6' X18".

    4/4 for most it some 10/4 for legs? send me your thoughts.

    I plan to get pictures of the process and post them here later.

    I would cut some 1" (for carcases), some 2" (for mouldings etc.) some 2-1/2" (for club legs) and some 3-1/2" (for cabriole legs).
    .
    I know you believe you understand what you think I wrote, but I'm not sure you realize that what you just read is not what I meant.

    Regards, Woodwould.

    Hope you're prepared to pay the freight for them, it's a long way for them to travel from the United States

    They'll float, just chuck them in the sea. Mill some for gun stocks.
