Met up with Corbin Wood Studios on the west hill of Auburn to document Josh cutting up this GIGANTIC log. With the help of Blake and Reese we braved the cold and rain to slice this bad boy up for beautiful furniture in the future.
brings back a lot of memories for me...I still have my Jonsered 910E and the Alaskan 36 inch mill. I made up an auxillary oiler for the nose end of my bar too, similar to yours, sure improves on bar and chain wear issues and was kind of essential for me as a lot of my logs were dried black walnuts. Back in the 80's and 90's I was busy collecting and milling black walnut, sycamore and maples here in south central Washington. I found the sycamore a special wood, it is I think much under recognized, under appreciated or at least was at that time. It is a tough wood with good hardness and offers some fabulous grain patterns. I still have a bunch of it sawn up, use it from time to time in wood building projects. Those slabs you have are some PRIMO live edge table blanks....just doesn't get any better.
Love your transitions and angles you use is great. And the way you fill space with shots of water dripping and it fits music and everything is just on point!!!
