Bench top question
(lemmy.world)
I'm taking an ash tree down on my property next week and I'm gonna build a work bench with it. I want it to be a hefty boy, so I'm going the roubo route.
Question is, since I can ask the mill for specific cuts, is there any reason I shouldn't just get one monstrous 6" slab from the middle of the trunk and use it?
I'm really not gonna know if this is anything but a pipe dream until the tree removal company cuts into it. For all I know it's rotted all to hell and is worthless
But if it isn't, what an opportunity. To take a tree from my backyard and turn it into a hopefully gorgeous workbench. That's a dream come true
Old tree or emerald ash borer?
