Was out at the open house at Hearne Hardwoods in Oxford, Pennsylvania. Boy do they have wood. (The pickings through the 'cut-off' bins is pretty good, particularly for a ukulele builder. Koa for $2 a pound.) They saw a lot of wood from logs, with this little 67" bandsaw. The patent date on the cast iron is 1904. It used to saw timbers for the decks of battleships at the Philadelphia Pennsylvania Navy Yard. Boy does it go through wood. Care for a little black walnut? (By the way, black walnut when it is freshly sawn is pretty green in color. It takes a week or so to oxidize to the 'normal' purple/brown color.
