some interesting wood

[Bruce McLeish]

some of you know that I do a lot of wood cutting for firewood. Well , as I was splitting some newly felled sugar pine (it was killed by bark beetles) I discovered a whole tree with this coloration. I've never seen it to this extent before. If any of a'll are interested in some, let me know.
I also found this forest fire burnt oak. Purty, ain't it?
I put a small coat of tru-oil just to see the results.

That looks very nice! Interesting. A bit different.

thanks, Dennis. according to the web, custom furniture makers are clamoring for the pine. pretty rare, I guess. I have probably 500 board feet that I haven't even cut into rounds yet.
