There was a huge piece of maple burl washed up at a marina near me and I wish I had a way to get it and process it so bad, it could be gone by now but it was such a nice piece just waaay too big to move by hand, prolly a few thousand pounds at least. Was telling the people I was with how it's easily a $10k+ piece of wood once it's all processed and they had no idea they thought it was just a regular hunk of wood

Awesome watching a bunch of guys geek out over a high capacity forklift that is smaller than the one I operated for 10 years at a lumber mill. I've seen those things tip over on to their forks by carrying too much weight, or stopping quickly with too much weight.

13:09- I'd like to take a 2 inch plank off the top of each of that node's layers, cut ... three inches off of the back and mount them as shelves. Maybe against a wall, maybe on a larger upright slab of live edge. With a slab backing that set, you might as well put the other slabs from that node on the back. Double sided shelves. The three inch deep cut-offs might make good handles or small shelves.

Nice to see Hyster-Yale forklifts that are manufactured here in Greenville, NC. Loving all the wood too.

Hey Guys, Thank you so much for this . What an amazing place. It's a cabinetmakers wet dream. You have just made an old cabinetmaker very happy. It is always good to see all this rare and old timber being used and not dumped or chipped for particleboard. BFWC is an industry leader in making one off amazing furniture from some really great timbers and some more tours of the timber yard's would be great. Waitting for all this timber to season plus shipping and delivery, then deciding what to make with it. You really need a lot of patience !!! Thank you for the tour, if you need someone to carry the luggage next time, I could be available! heh heh. Cheers Michael.

Maybe the one on top will need some additional drying, but typically they are not stored outside long term. It also usually rarely rains in LA

You guys were like kids in a candy store in there. Great stuff 👍

You guys are so funny, Indiana Jones never found a better treasure than what you found at GL Veneer. I know I'd be slobbering over every slab too.

What a treasure trove. I'm gonna redo my master bath one of the years and the dual sink counter top will be a nice slab. I want to find a slab that has a natural sharp 135deg bend for the shape of the room and I've noticed that Monterey Cypress has that going for it which is a local tree here on the Cali central coast. I bet I can get the perfect piece locally but I've seen cypress slabs stacked and dried and unfortunately seems to crack up too much. I wonder if it needs a specific drying procedure to keep that species of wood from spitting.

Incredible! 😍

Wow! Even if that didn’t have any burl on it, it would still be some amazing slabs. Factor in the burl and the insane factor goes 10x. Incredible.

the footage around 14:50 +/- 1 min is woodwork porn. i mean the whole video would make any wood worker drool. brings a tear to the eye.

I'm a master cabinetmaker...and facetiously...I got a hardon just from the "preview pic" of the damn log. I could build one hell of a beautiful table from this sucker. You guys do some very cool work. but as a cabinetmaker who doesn't do epoxy...I could build a bitchin' table out of this thing. Now on to the show! Will add my thoughts on your build after I watch the video...everything said so far is BEFORE seeing your video!

Do you guys run across any Bog Oak? Do you ever do any furniture with it. I understand that they can sometimes get as old as 500 to 1000 years old . Buried at river bottoms and Bogs. Black wood thats very hard, but also very beautiful.

You guys are like kids in a candy store!
