Milling
In this video, the La Collina Team put in a full day's work milling and stickering (stacking the boards with wooden "stickers" between each to ensure proper drying) about 2,000 board feet of Black Walnut and Cherry logs. The slabs - for cutting boards and furniture - must dry for a few years before they can be used, but we began turning the bowl blanks right away.

Sycamore
This is one of four 10-foot long pieces each of which were over four-feet in diameter. See Argo, strolling past them, for scale.
The logs were left at the side of the road by a road crew. The tree had some rot - which is why it was cut down by the State - but most of wood is beautiful. We are happy to give this very old tree some new life and save it from the chipper.
