Cutting and Drying End Grain Cookies 

Exactly the info I've been looking for. Thank you!

My goodness, those are crazy beautiful! Great vid!

That's one crazy workshop!

Ty, that video is SO WELL DONE! I love the multiple shooting angles and I really like how you narrated yourself adding the pentacryl to the wood. Speaking of the wood, wow does that ever look good!

I can't wait to see the follow-up. Cool stuff, Ty!

Awesome! Thanks Ty, exactly the info I was looking for :)

Wow Ty, AWSOME, look forward to see how the cookies turn.

I have just started out in cutting the tree's that have been felled in the woods next to my house into your so called cookies, I have been drying them out in my shed, but now I have noticed that the cookies are distorting and some white fungus appearing in some area's of the surface, so watching your video will have really helped me in creating some nice tables that I have in mind doing! Just need to carry out your procedure in wrapping them up after applying that liquid you used! Many thanks for this information! I have taken note in what I have to do now that am getting older, 68 years and have just caught this bug in creating pieces of art from wood, in my youth I painted and always had a tree in the frame!

I love the shape of the slabs, it would make a very interesting end table. Great stuff! Huge saw!

Great video! I can't wait to see how they turn out.

Thanks for this video, I was glad to see your PPE when cutting the cookies. An errant chainsaw will go through human flesh as easy as a hot knife through butter and through bones as easy as a warm knife through refrigerated butter. I look forward to future video's about what you do with those cookies. As always safety first.

A couple days ago we had a large oak tree removed. The tree service cut several large cookies for us so I can make cookie tables. Some of the cookies are rather thick. I've never done this before so I could really appreciate any help and guidance with the process and time frame. Thank you!

Very nice. Reflects somewhat what I have learned to do with black locust trunk end cookies.

Great video and thanks for the links to the products.

Beautiful wood!

Seriously looking forward to the end job! Those are gorgeous!

Great video, great set up with that saw.

Guest bedroom seems like the perfect place to dry wood. I might have to try that.

Great vid!

Can't hardly wait to see them finished, going to be nice---

That is awesome! I am actually refinishing a coffee table made from a cypress cookie that was not dried or finished properly by whoever attempted it. Talk about a PITA!!! But I plan on filling the voids with crush turquoise and hopefully it will turn out. I would love to get a hold of some cookies like that! I LOVE COOKIES!!! Keep up the great work and I look forward to seeing how they turn out!

Love the pantherpros mill

I now understand why you grew the beard now that I see you cutting with the big boy Stihl. Counter balance!!! Genius. The slabs look great. Can't wait to see how they do and what the dry time is like. I would guess that they should dry faster than the 1 year per inch because they're end grain. Keep up the great work.

Nice cookies dude!

Love to see what's inside the presents you wrapped. Please consider a video for unwrapping? Just to see how it is going?

Sweet!

What happened with these ??? Please post new videos man . You kick ass

Your video popped up when I was trying to google what an appropriate moisture content for something like this would be before applying 2 part table top epoxy resin? My situation: I got a doug fir cookie I was planning on making an accent table out of. I'd like to leave the bark on since doug fir isn't that visually interesting. I had a big 7" thick piece that I cut in half (didn't do a great job of cutting it straight, so one half varies widely in thickness). According to my moisture meter, the recently cut side is at about 25%. What would you suggest? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks for the video. Would I have to do the same thing with salvaged wood pieces from stumps before painting and/or epoxying? :D

Looking great. No way I could put something like that in the guest bedroom. That's where I store all the old kids toys and old computer hardware.

Would it be ok to seal the cookie/slab with anchorseal? I got a 36" end grain slab that I sealed on both sides with anchorseal, though not before it had already cracked. Should I try to remove the anchor seal and soak ti with pentacryl?

Alright Ty! I'm itching for the final video man!

Thanks we're clearing a bunch of cypress trees on the job and I want to make a table out of the Cypress

Miito liiiindo, parabéns.

I can’t find the other video of the finished table? How did it turn out?

wow!! great cookies!!

Dang. Now I want to buy big chainsaw. Awesome!

How long did it take for them to dry? Couldn't find a follow up. I'm cutting down two large trees on my property later this month and would like to honor the trees by turning them into furniture. Just trying to get as much info as I can.

Ty, those Carob cookies are freakin awesome!! Littlewierdshop

Any update there ty? How did it work out? Pentacryl is more expensive that gold so I don’t want to spend 200$ on a bottle and find out it doesn’t work. I’m leaning towards Rubio

2 questions: what is the name of that tree ? terra wood ?? and, I have lots of acrylic type floor sealers, for concrete and also for wood floors. Do you think those would work to seal the slabs? and also logs ?

Cookies !!! Ty's got cookies !! I wish I had a cookie... Thanks for the video, Ty. ( I want a cookie... why can't I have a cookie? ) lol

Are lags better then screws for your straight edge?

Hey Ty! My brother and I just got a huge 4 inch thick 42in scarlet oak cookie. How many gallons of Pentacryl you think that thing will suck up? Thank you!

Is pentacryl good if we want to use them as cutting boards instead of furniture?

I just landed myself some 2' diameter oak rounds... and I desperately want to turn them into SOMETHING without them cracking... I'll try your method!

You need to turn back that H screw on the carb adjustment...my 880 vibrates out of optimal carburation frequently. Take the power back!

Can you use this wood for cutting boards?

Hey! How did those turn out?

I have stumps in my yard from a fallen pine. They’ve been out there for about 5 months. How will i know when they’re dry to cut into cookies? I want to do what you did and make side tables

What kind of chainsaw are you using in this video?

Hey Ty, I liked your video. I'm trying to make a cut board out of a Carob tree stomp I got, but it's still green and I dont even know How long I need to wait until the stomp dries. Can you help? I'm also eager to see the follow up video. Thank you in advance

hi, great video! I am just starting with milling myself just to make myself some stuff since I have got enought time to do it and I like to be busy with woods. anyway back to the question I got, how about the flexural rigidity of the bar you are using. I always have had still bars and they are pretty stiff. but I never had a longer one that a 24 inch. I am looking to buy a 48 inch or bigger. what can you advise me. is the stihl bar stiff enough to not get hollow slaps?

did you make the follow up video? I'd love to see how this came out!

Ty, did you make the chainsaw mill? I have a 4' x 5' or so stump that I want to cookie and trying to build my own mill like yours..any suggestions would be appreciated!

what would you suggest as a disinfectant? bleach?

Is thar a follow up video how did it go?

How can you tell when they're ready? What moisture content are you looking to get?

hi, im probely late for this video but im wondering on something. im planning on building a pc case out of a tree stump, i have found out if i just got it its going to crack after a while, so do you thing a can use the same method that you used in this video to provent it from cracking? thx for your time and help!

they look great, can't wait to see the tables, they are going to come out gorgeous. what size mill was that and that chainsaw is huge....lol

I cut some slabs of similar size 10months ago. They were stored in a cold basement and then for 1 month at 30degrees C in a boiler room. Do you think they will be dry? My moisture meter reads 5% on the surface.

Hey, did you ever end up doing anything with your slabs!? Phenomenal videos, and I see that you have no posted in quite some time! Hope all is well! Cheers!

I'm looking to see what you have done with dried wood. Did it turn out? Did you make another video? If so, I can't find it.

What's the update on these? Did you end up making anything out of them? Would love to see how they come out. They look awesome.

Very cool Ty! Looking forward to seeing the tables. Oh and how expensive or affordable is that product you applied?

Did you ever make a follow up video?

Hey I want to use small cross cuts for my projects. Up to 15mm in diameter. Would they need the same treatment?

After you put the Pentacryl on, can you put it in a log kiln and speed up the drying, or will the wood crack?

How did they turn out? Did they crack?

How can I buy some of those slices?

A sponge mat laid upon the slab will help the pentacyrl from evaporating and keep the cookie moist.

Hi Ty!! Doesn't the 1 yr per inch drying rule apply here? Curious re the 6 month till ready plan. ; )

I have attempted to go to your website, but it keeps coming up as private. Do I need special permission to gain access?

Wondering if he ever made the side tables...

Is there a follow up video or did they eventually crack and the follow up was scrapped?

Wait what do you put on these to prevent cracking? Petnakrill?

Awesome video! How thick did you cut theses slabs?

Nom de D. ! I've got similar slabs , 50 year seasoning but this time it's yew , looking for proper legs , turned yew is not so beautiful , what about metal ones ?

I just have one question. How much Pentacryl did you use on your two cookies. Pentacryl is so expensive, I hesitant to buy any because I don't know how much gets used. Thanks ... and good video,

liked the video and the beard!!!!

have you ever tried anchor seal instead of the product you used?

What % of moisture will be left in the wood after 3 months ?

Any tips on how to plane and sand end grain cuts such as these?

It must be great to have a understanding wife to be able to bring wood from a tree into the house to dry out! There must be an easier way than this! The wood is in a state of shock and it requires moisture, so I soak my cookies in engine oil as it is cheaper that linseed oil and all the others, then let it dry out and then apply what ever you fancy!

Hello! That’s a beautiful piece of wood you have there!! Can you please update us? I’ve subscribed and looked through your videos and didn’t see anything.

I want to know what pentacryl? lol I have a huge maple burl here and have no idea what to do because it's been outside as it came out of the ground, so I believe it's going to rot! it does look a little dry atm

thanks Ty.. what is the paint you used?

So... what about that other video you wanted to bring out (hopefully) after 3 or 6 months? Really interested in the results!

I have had success with putting primer paint on oneside of large maple cookies. My wood shop is not heated or air conditioned and I have stored six of them out of sight under our wueen size bed. It has worked. It is wasted space being used.

What is pentagril

Would that with a Burl slab

How do you cure end grain cookies for cutting boards. I don't want to use toxic chemicals.

Nice, tasty lookin' cookies Ty...although I wouldn't wanna eat them, I have a random unrelated to woodworking question for you... what's your highest finish at darts?

Alright, I'm a big noob here, have no idea what I'm doing.. but I do tree work for a living and we completely waste literally tonne after tonne of great wood with so much potential.. so a couple months ago, I started grabbing the odd cookie before the rest of the tree got tossed. But I really have no clue what to do beyond that. I want to make some tables, but first I gotta learn how. Coworkers told me they there cookies always cracked. So I left mine in my garage where it's nice and cool. No signs of cracking, but they're covered with fine white mold. Do you know if the wood is now damaged or still recoverable?

Mono loco , nice do you serve gigante nacho plate

What size saw is that.. An old school 880?

Hi how did they dry could not see the next vid Thanks Joe

Very cool slabs man. What kinda chainsaw mill are you using there? Like what brand I mean. Great video by the way.

How much pentacryl do you think you used for one slab? Trying to decide if it's worth my money

have u tried rv antifreeze? its none toxic.
