I can’t handle another lockdown. Please not again. I can’t go through this again.

Sorry I haven’t seen the news in 18 months did I miss something?

Not really, I just heard Australia was upping their restrictions and Los Angeles is too and I’m scared it’ll escalate into another lockdown.

Move to Alaska

Live edge, ummm…. Hard to tell from the angle and not being in person, but three guesses: Red Oak, Pine (or closely related), or something foreign. Not dark enough for walnut, probs stained.

Looks good, and expensive. Epoxy or countertop coating to seal and protect

Epoxy for sure. Wouldn’t take much. I’m guessing red oak, personally. Pine is a bit soft for use as a countertop.

Very true, but I’ve know people to use Spruce for tables.

I personally would love to do Walnut. Hella expensive. Makes for nice cutting board inlay

There’s a walnut tree by my new place that needs some serious trimming to get it off my roof. Kind of thinking about cutting the trimming since they look kind of thick.

Might be a local sawmill that can plank it… if big enough.

The limbs aren’t that big but they’re big enough to hand process and do something small with it. Besides, I can only trim what’s over my property.

Unless that tree falls over in a storm

Seriously. There’s blue pine, and it’s ok, but pine is a soft wood.

But I can find orange, purple, and somewhat green woods…. AND SOME CUSTOMER WANTS A BLUE WOOD GRAIN CUTTING BOARD.

UGGHHHHHH.

Maybe epoxy will work.


I know a lot of wood types out there not any blue that I know of

But a straight blue??

@knights-stuff Perfect!! Thank you for that info! That stuff might do the trick!

Why am I in here???

Laundry! I need clean Carhartts.


I think I’ve been single for too long….

Let me come home to someone who wants to share with me something they read, or show me their artwork, or talk to me about some intriguing theory they have…. I just don’t want to come home and hear only about the drama and misfortune of others all the time.

Sure the couple up the road is getting divorced, but also tell me why there isn’t a blue-heart wood tree while we make them brownies.
