Egon,
That's some beautiful wood. Real nice heartwood coloration and grain without any noticable knots. Have any particular projects in mind for it yet? Looks like the old Reske mill does the trick.
Is this the original or revised Reske mill that you've mentioned?
Keep on slicing and dicing and let us see you finished products when you put that wood to use.

Yea, it's the revised version but there may be another version in the future.
The maple isn't quite the best quality but it will do. Some of it is sapalted.

egon; How much of that is spalted? The woodworkers and country craft types really like that stuff down here. [img]/forums/images/icons/cool.gif[/img]

Quite a bit of it John. Trouble is it's just a little passed it's prime. It has a good home here.

Is there anything to look for on the surface to identify spalted wood? [img]/forums/images/icons/confused.gif[/img]

I can't answere that question John.

Egon,
The "American Wookworker" has an article on "Backyard Sawmills" in the January issue. Interesting ...

Mine is sorta a joke. It does get logs down to a size where The bandsaw will handle them. Keeps me busy and sore and stiff !!! Sometimes I even get a few nice pieces of lumber.

Please be careful with the sawdust from spalted wood - the dark lines come from mold/fungus that at least can be irritating, and at worst can cause infections in the lung.
