Old Oak
A couple of weeks ago I bought some white oak from a guy over in St Louis. He’s probably in his late 70’s and said he’d never get around to using it, so was selling it for $2 a board foot. It was all 4/4 stock from 4” to 11” wide. The catch was it was 12-1/2’ long so I could only fit 115 ft on my 10’ trailer, placing it diagonally and sticking out the front.
Anyway, the first use was a bench of a pattern I make routinely.


But this is the top:

I’m pretty sure I’ve never had rays that pretty on anything before. This has one coat of Tried & True Varnish Oil on it so far.
