Log Slides
Often it became more economical to build log slides in areas of poor accessibility or when the area was rich in log harvest.
Slabs, Flitches and Barrels
In the recent months I have received an increased demand for natural edged slabs and flitches and in partnering with some local producers of these items I have decided to offer a wide selection of them for your consideration. They are kiln dried, surfaced or in rough-sawn state, and generally can be shipped within 2 days depending on size.
Additionally, on occasion I am able to offer some beautiful steel bound white oak barrels from a number of America's favorite distilleries. These barrels are post production barrels that are in excellent condition with polished exteriors, makers branding, and good for any number of uses.
All Of This Material Comes To You:
-
the flitches and slabs have been kiln dried for stability.
-
the sizes are generally measured at one end, in the middle and at the opposite end or at any wider than normal variances.
-
some of these selections have been surfaced and partially flattened as noted in the descriptions to remove twists and bowing so that both faces are near parallel but may still require some surfacing, scraping or sanding before final use while others are in the original rough state.
-
nearly all rough selections can be flattened for a nominal charge but in doing so it is understood that every effort will be made to preserve the overall thickness, however, losses in thickness of up to 3/4" may occur.
-
every effort will be made to point out above average defects in the material but it is understood that end checking, drying cracks, bark inclusions or bark pockets, worm holes or other minor defects and varying degrees of bark retention along the edges of the slab may be present.
-
all of these selections will be shipped using common carrier shipping the cost of which will be determined after the sale based on the weight and physical dimensions of the piece. Selections will be wrapped in cardboard or other protective packaging, mounted and secured to a pallet and shipped.
PLEASE NOTE: BEFORE ANY ROUGH FLITCHES CAN BE FLATTENED THEY MUST FIRST BE PURCHASED.
