Yellow Pine

[terry q]

This started out as a seat board from the high school bleachers. It was very dry, fairly brittle and full of farts. I ruined one before I slowed down and got this one. It is one of my modified slim lines.

Sweet!
I've been wondering what hard pine would look like in a pen. I've got a couple of trees in the yard that need to come down and did not know if it would be worth having some of it milled.

Looks kinda like antique heart pine to me. I like the way they look especialy the top pen. I like the way the rings go. Nice job and congrads on found wood.

I agree, looks like heart pine to me too. I love the look of the grain, good job. Are those colored washers?

"full of farts"...that really got me.

That was funny. Especially since if it's heart pine, I love the smell of it

I wonder... what would it look like without the farts? Probably like SH**!! thank God for farts!! Nicely done!

The pic is two views of the same pen. The center band is made from Corian that I laminated. This pen is destined for the troops through Freedom Pens.

I have a friend who reclaimed some church pews, and he calls the wood BUTT OAK.....People look at you really funny when they are trying to figure out where BUTT OAK comes from....LOL....
