I posted some pics a while ago of a branch of box elder I cut up with some great color in it. I finally got around to taking the rest of the tree down. I took it to a shop the other day and this is what we came up with. Check it out.

Just bumping this to keep it close to "Milled Box Elder part 2". I'm not sure if there is a way to link the two, maybe a mod could help with that?
 
Hey Jack,
Fresh cut green. The color fades when drying but the woodworker says, or hopes, a lot of it comes back after it is sanded and sealed.
 
thats really kool blue, our cedar has similar markings in it but usually its very knotty

My woodshop guy has me looking for valuable stuff now, cedar is also high on the list. Funny, I used to look for high btu hickory, locust, Osage, etc. Now I'm looking for box elder and cedar!
 
Warlock looking stuff.
 
Blue hasn't been around for a long while so guess we'll never hear the rest of the story...
 
Rorshach tests for wood burners?
I'm not even gonna say what I see...
