    Drying eucalyptus

    I'm sure there's a way. I've heard of "hammered" oak being used as fence boards, and apparently lasting a very long time. From what I was made to believe, they'd run the board through a blacksmiths trip hammer, and kinda compress it. My father salvaged a few boards, and made a chair from one...

    Drying eucalyptus

    Drying eucalyptus

    Hey does anyone what that 12 ton splitter, since Burnham turned me down? Maybe the youngster can mount it to his mini x, and split the wood right off the tree or some shit, I don't know...

    No kidding, with that wavy corrugated looking grain structure, it's not always easy to split green!
