As I've mentioned several times before, but for those who don't know. I work at a hardwoods mill.
I meant to post this yesterday or at least earlier.
Tommorow at the mill we are going to be running 6 5/8" and 4 5/8" exit jams. Our customer has recently asked us to cut these to length instead of sending random full length pcs. They want 100" pcs, but some of the wood we cut this stuff out of is 11' long. If you do the math that's 32" of wood we cut off and unfortunately as stupid as this sounds this gets thrown in the dumpster and burned.
We will be running 200 pcs of each size and I plan on saving some of it. If anyone is interested in purchasing some of these shorts for $0.50 each plus shipping please contact me via e-mail. The shorts will likely range from 24"-30" since we will cut some off both end to square them up. If I get to run them I'll cut as little as possible off one end and may get a few 31"-32" pcs.
I personally plan to cut off the thinner bit of two or three then glueing them together to make a table insert like the ones I've seen some members have made. The grooves are already there and its thick enough to be quite stable, but there are so many other things this could be used for too.
They are 6 5/8 " wide with 1/16" deep and wide grooves in bottom about 1 every inch along the length. They are 1 1/4" thick for 4 3/4" of the width then they have a step that reduces the thickness to 24/32" for the remaining width. For the 4 5/8 pcs except the thick part is only 2 1/2" wide. They are surfaced on all sides. Color ranges from pink to a deep dark red.
Here is a picture of the bottom of one I got last time.
