Looks like Silver Maple and a log of Ash laying in the background?

I will let you off the hook on the ID the one where milling is shag bark hickory(boards are hickory)..Back ground is shag hickory and the 2 behind that are walnut.
 
Looks good. I do a little woodworking and always wondered how good these these things worked. I always buy rough cut lumber, mostly green and dry it myself. Its a lot cheaper that way and I've enjoyed may a beverage watching it dry. :) Do you sticker this stuff for drying?

Nice! Let's dry it and build something!

I have been think of trimming my shop with black walnut 8 inch's wide, and hickory shelves with black walnut brackets and trim the front's with ash. What you think?

86 today and got in the shade...
 
smokin, that would be cool. I see you have two stools do you get a helper or is that for a drinking buddy?
 
Here is one I made about 5 years ago from some rough cut rock maple and cherry. I wanted to add a couple of black walnut strips just for looks but couldn't find any that was cheap enough at the time. :blank: It shows some wear but it should outlive me.

Thats Awesome! What size walnut you need?
 
Thanks, :) actually since then I scored some nice 5/4 stuff that has been sitting for the last three years just waiting for the right project to come along. If you look I used some to make one of the mallets.
