Reclaimed Oak - Pallet Hammer

[middle.road]

If I had a sawmill or access to one I would be in deep deep trouble. Have to build another shed or barn for drying...
3' wide? Oh the items that can be made from that. I avoid the auctions and estate sales that have piles of wood.
Widest I've see lately is only around 18" though.

(have we hijacked Doc's thread - me thinks?)

I think Mike might be getting an idea of how deep the sickness can go! LOL.
I have some pretty impressive slabs of 3" thick 28" wide crotch figure black walnut, one is destined to be a coffee table for my living room. And some wide maple may be a new kitchen table.

If you are into pallet wood, check out the tool this guy made. Amazing!

I made a similar tool form pipe and a couple of donor crowbars, I need it to rip sub-flooring off of joists that are wider than standard. And yes, I have used it to rip pallets apart as well.

Perhaps, however the hours in the shop working on something practical is very therapeutic as is known to reduce stress*.
