When I cut that mitre in the wrong direction on my last piece of walnut, I definitely knew what it was like to break down like a pro

LOL ... I agree :)

Kudos for you for not going the clickbait route in your title. I can imagine a lot of other YTers with a caption along the lines of “Amazing Surprise When I Cut Open this Wood”

Thanks for the feedback

Colin, the forensic arborist! Outstanding video. I have a stack of pecan drying in my shed and I know where it came from since I helped harvest it. I know there's no nails in it, never thought about a bullet.

This was a first for me, but I have heard of other finding bullets, more common that we might think

The only thing I'm a pro at is crastination but it gives me a sense of validation when I see a pro doing things that I have developed a habit of doing, e.g. removing the warped section rather than trying to plane, and cleaning the minute particles that more than likely contain rock.

Looked bigger than a 22. Also, faulty way to age when the bullet got into the wood. The tree could have been shot later and the bullet would penetrate to that tree ring. Really like your videos.

Not saying you're wrong because I surely don't know but, I think the way the anomaly developed is how the time period could be determined.

Great informative content. Thanks for sharing. I’d be interested in an air monitor review for woodworking from inexpensive to best quality.

I have thought about that, but keep shying away as I don't feel qualified to give the best results, but I will re-think ... thanks buddy

Its called a Rikon, and is a 10 inch helical head

Wouldn't it be better to check for metal before sawing. Not only could an iron object damage your sawblade, but if the object is somewhere in the middle and you have to remove it after sawing, you might ruin your workpiece.

Yup, best to check that wood first

I bet it was an old .32 or .38 caliber since it goes back that many years.

Colin has some bada$$ wood! ... Umm, what?

You left us hanging Colin with an incomplete story. I want to know how much you paid for the board - if you got a good deal at least. Otherwise good tips and interesting forensics. I'm wondering if you could just leave the bullet in. I wouldn't think it would harm your tools and it adds an interesting story to the piece you make.

Oh goodness, I think there were only 3 or 4 boards I bought from him over 10 years ago and they have been sitting in my shop ever since, I could only guess at the cost. I was really more to help him out. About the bullet, lead is pretty soft and to be honest I am not sure what it would do so some blades, steel blades would be less harmed, but any blade or knife with carbide teeth, they stay sharp a long time but carbide is a very brittle so not sure it might have done to blades like that.

Great job Carl

I hate to say this but if, and it sure looks like it, it's lead, you could have left it in. Wouldn't hurt the blade and the removal caused some serious damage.

I didn't realize it was lead until I started removing it, you are correct, (I think) the lead probably would not have damaged saw blade, but my planer and jointer have carbide (which is very brittle) helical head teeth and with them if one tooth chips or breaks it can cause a cascading effect on the following teeth so, not only does the one tooth get destroyed, but following teeth can also break because now they are chewing up bits of broken carbide along with the wood, and sometimes following adjacent teeth can also be affected, so in the end, I am not sorry I dug it out.
