of topic Sounds like you need about 20 feet of 24 inch diameter log to be sliced into 150 "cookies" 1 1/2 inches thick. That is a pretty mature tree, and you will probably need two trees cut up. The trunk diameter will vary somewhat. What is your tolerance on diameter? That is about 3000 lb of wood so don't ship it UPS. I don't know much about wood, but there are several varieties of oak which grow in different parts of the country. We have "live" oak here in California. Chestnut, red, black and white live in other parts of the country. What variety is best for your purpose? I'll search for availability tomorrow. Tell me the variety. 246810

Good morning, Jack. I like your little railroad company. There is nothing wrong with owning one solution to a geographical bottle neck. You can count the RR ties, view the map, and it's service is undoubtedly needed! May other companies only offer the intangible promise of a single idea. They don't offer any present day substance, and they won't stand up so well in the market when the transportation sector has its day. -I look forward to the railroads progress. (Off the railroad topic:) Jack, I am sorry, this may not provide immediate e-mail sources for communication, but it appears to be generally helpful over a broad range, perhaps it will provide ideas helping you get closer to what you require at a reasonable price and shorter distance as well. Here is the URL. theoak.com If I am correct, the cut you are looking for is a "cross section". (That would be round, the bark entirely surrounding it, and you could see the yearly rings of growth.) -A simple, interesting cut that would make for quite a conversation piece, and many things could be made with it. If this is important: An idea to prevent the wood from splitting (though it would cover one side.) ...Epoxy "plywood" to the back. Thin plywood is enough. It is very strong for the purpose. The best use for the finest oak piece (imo): With laser photography, have a picture of Meathead with your daughter engraved to hang on your best wall! Mount directly into the studs with heavy duty lag bolts and copper grounding wire....nothing but the best. No kidding! The laser will cut the picture deep! You know it will be beautiful! Now I am aware SI is quite insistent the high quality of their standards be strictly maintained as we discuss topics of business in order to further our understanding of the world around us by speaking our minds. So I will simply say, about your posts that I have read, "I have enjoyed them very much and appreciate the insight they have given me!" I'm sure SI will recognize we are proceeding most properly as we seek the answers to our questions, harmonizing with dignity and the fine reason of their cause as well! My... I'm sure they can't feel we're drifting here. So getting back to the matter at hand, Upon making Netscape the search engine of your choice, if you will enter "lumber", you are given several related sub topics to choose from. I decided to select a combination including these 4. "sawing, kiln. hardwood and sawn": I was shown "West Hill Woods". ...I doubt these people provide the cut you want, but they do describe "a unique kiln" that speeds the process. This will add quality and save time. Viewing their section "kiln drying" they state: Kiln Drying We have a Woodmiser Vacuum Kiln with a maximum capacity of 1000 board feet. It does a great job of drying hardwoods. That's because the wood dries quickly, with very little degrade. The water boils out of the wood at a low temperature in a vacuum. It keeps the white maple as white as possible. We can also arrange for shipping to a local, larger kiln nearby at a reasonable cost. Circumstances determine whether it is best to dry in the vacuum kiln, ship to the larger kiln, or purchase green. With advice from them and reading from the other site above, and finding out who has the nearest kiln from the manufacturer, I think you may find a lot for the most efficient, high quality start. This last URL was westhillwoods.com Sounds like you have a great project in mind... May your ideas grow! Dave
