Movin along. 6 cores/sets profiled successfully. The shop is also coming together quickly. Milled some yellow cedar myself from an old 70s cut block.
I love yellow cedar. 30 years on the ground and the tree was still prime.

Those cores look great! Are you using the new custom formula poly already?

Chris, we tried the new product. It was awsome in out tests with a bone dry piece of wood. Tried it a core, foamed up. It reacted with the 10-12 percent moisture. We did find if we painted the channel with a sealer first it worked awsome. Too time consuming for my liking though. Sold half my order to Camhard, another member. Not sure if he will seal channels first or pour a sidewall block and cut strips? I loved that it was clear and non viscous but we are back to the smooth on pmc-790.

Hopefully I can find time to paint some bases and get some edges on in the next week. Dyin to get the pressing going. Once the shop is built I think I may get a mogul. We get a cnc work done pretty cheap 5 min from my house(small town), but my goal is to do everything in the shop one day. Like to get a donek knife too and start dye cutting bases and veneer topsheets.

Only thing holding me back is a wife, one kid, kid on the way, full time job, bills and a fukc load of debt. Hahahah

Got some bases painted last couple days. Look good I think. One for a board, and one split.

One of my 2 partners, Dean, is a big backcountry guy. Always going going on trips with protographers and writers. Make in us all jealous. Looks like there will be a trip article in West Coast Mountain Culture magazine next month showcasing one of his trips and talkin about our hobby. Very stoked. Steve Oagle , the writer just sent this jpeg of the first page.
