Old Dust Posted July 21, 2019 Report Share Posted July 21, 2019 If you are close enough to a sawmill you can get a carload of free "first cut" slabs that re great as backing for scrollers. When a sawmill gets a log they cut 4 sides to square up the log before cutting into studs. They are "scrap" for them. Just ask.

OCtoolguy Posted July 21, 2019 Report Share Posted July 21, 2019 I don't think there are any saw mills left in California. They have been deemed "environmentally" undesirable. Jim McDonald 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brianr24 Posted July 21, 2019 Report Share Posted July 21, 2019 Some of the wood my saw mill guys gives me is beautiful. I purchase most of what I get and I always offer to pay for anything he is giving me. I don’t want him to feel as though I’m there to chisel off him. But he gives some really nice stuff that he says would only end up being firewood anyway. Great for small bowl blanks and intarsia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
