Thick slabs, board shorts and rubber boots....

 We've recently received a bunch of requests for large thick slabs for everything from fireplace mantles to bar tops to table tops, and fall is the season for large slabs, thick slabs and unique slabs.  So we milled them thick and thin and everything in between.These are just in, fresh off the mill and are quite the spectacle.  Monkey pod slabs 26-36 inches wide and just under 9ft.
















Cypress slabs 26-50 inches wide and up to 12 ft.  Milled recently at 9/4 and 13/4 or 2-3+ inches thick. SOLD.

October has started out fruitful,

We've just milled the following:
Opume' ( a thorny relative of the tamarind,  dense with beautiful light and dark rich brownish red grain)
Coconut palm ( red variety)
Tulip wood ( beautiful white wood with lots of bee's wing figure)
Monkey pod ( everyone's favorite)
Silky Oak  ( one of my personal favorites)
Avocado ( beautiful pale creme wood with darker highlights and lots of figure)

And of course its worth noting, that all of these woods have been saved from the landfill (which in Hawaii county is comprised of 40% green waste).  We view this effort as a win win:  wood for us,  taxpayer subsidized tipping fees reduced everyone else.

Below are some photos:
