Southern yellow pine from a barn.

[TucsonCyclist]

A friend called and asked if I wanted some of the cut off's from his newly installed floor. He searched for 6 months and found some wood from a dismantled barn from the 1800's. We don't have anything like that here in the desert so I said sure.

I finished this one today that I am going to send him as a thank you gift for the wood.

nice!

My deputy lives in a log cabin made of kiln dried SYP and I asked him for a piece to make a project from. Didn't tell him what, just had him bring me a chunk.

Gonna make him a pen out of it, figure how neat it would be to have a pen made from your house!

That's some amazingly dramatic wood.

Nice pen. Great wood grain. I really like syp and old growth pine. Since this year's PITH, I have made a half dozen pine pens from a couple boards that I found.

That's some mack daddy grain on that pine. I hope you go for a beefier kit like a cigar for the next one if it's at all possible.

I wish the boards were thicker but there only 5/8" so I am limited.

And I stand corrected, it is from an 1800's textile plant in South Carolina.

Maybe some segmenting is in order?
