Wawona Wood

Today we fired up the plainer and ran the first of many pieces of the Wawona through. The grain and color of the wood really pops out when you put it through the plainer. Each one is like opening up a present, each piece has layer of wood that is hiding the color of the aged wood below. I'm planning on documenting that process but for now I just have a few pictures to share of one of the pieces I did today.

The picture is of one of the frame sections, the holes are where the trunnel holes were drilled. It has a beautiful and dramatic wood grain.

More to come.
