I suppose the sawdust is the same as any other species in general. It’s very carbon rich and can be acidic, so for the sake of building soil it needs a lot of nitrogen contribution to properly compost.
Hey tom i have a woodmizer lt15 . i was wanting to know about your timberking 1220. im planning on buying one next week . i know i like the longer track but what all things do you like about the 1220 and the things you dont like ? i plan on sawing mostly hardwood.
My 1220 has been a tough little mill. Even if stuff does “break” I can usually do a bush fix or go to town for a few bolts and get it going again. All in, I love it. Only downside is it’s a fully manual mill, but if you’re used to that then it’s ok. It is labor intensive, but if you can stick to cutting premium price ($/BF) sort of stuff then it’s a money making SOB! I spend some time up front planning a log to minimize how many times I have a to deal with rolling it over or setting slabs on and off for edging or whatever. Some good planning up front will pay you back handsomely later with less time spent handling. The TK community is awesome and I’ve never had any problems with customer support! 😁
My grandfather used to live near Fort Worth tx and they called them horse apple trees.
horse apples what i learned to growing up in east tx
You can make dye from Osage orange also
Bodark makes great knife handles. Once your handle is shaped rub your bare skin against it. The oils will cause it to glow gold
I like that, nice tip!
Amazing how an ugly chunk of wood could be transformed into a beautiful piece of furniture. Is the sawdust usable for anything?
