GrassBoard

Postby Russ Leggitt » Tue Jan 30, 2007 1:25 pm

Hi Brandon,

I am sending you an e-mail including pictures of the two boards that I
made. I made these out of ash and treated them with seven coats of
tung oil, which I would recommend using on any wood on equipment.
This makes wood almost inpervious to water while helping the wood
retain its inherent properties.

I want to give Big Dog proper credit for furnishing a tracing of all the
parts including the metal parts. All I had was one grass rod to use.
Everything I had to make. I also made another grass rod.

If I can help let me know.

I agree with you on it being a GREAT buring/heating wood. But not for a fireplace. My experience has been is snaps, crackle and pops too much. I've all ready had to replace one couch cushion and couple of pillows, and soon the carpet becuase of walnut. I have a whole wagon load to go yet. It was a scrap tree, nothing usable to take to saw mill, so it was cut up for firewood.

i do have a couple trees trimmed in 9 and 10 ft sections and ready to go to the mills, been sitting 2 yrs now, sold em when we sold some timber, of our place, ifn they dont hurry up and come get em, they may just disappear , hate to see em go to waste........

That ones the same size as a cub but it's off a 10-20 mccormick deering tractor, I already emailed the owner and asked. It appears it has a different style of metal rod. They all must have been very similiar. Brandon. :D

What are the pallets use for, transporting gold shipments.


Approximate local stumpage price for black walnut is $605- MBF. $805- for veneer per MBF.

There are quite a few saw mills in the area. The only sawmill, as far as I know, that handles walnut for anything other than pallets in about 70 miles one way.

It's a matter of economics for the land/tree owner, and sawyer.

there some countries that will not allow pallets with any knot holes, or soft woods in them, hence, the walnut pallets
If you are not part of the solution,
you are part of the problem!!!

The greass board on eBay has the bracket from a wooden grass stick which was used commonly before the steel rod that was used on early Cub mowers.

Don't know about the majority of pallets in the US. Locally we have a mixture of woods, softer woods and hard woods. Very few pine (the real soft wood).

When I was working, my employeer would receive a few shipments with pallets with made mahogany slats.

As a loose reference from the Doyle Rule. A 1000 board feet log is approximately 37" in diameter and about 37 feet long. Not many if any walnut trees in this area come close.
