Wow, your are going to carve some really big tiki or something else?

H
hang10tiki posted on 09/07/2023

Aloha Wendy, not sure, I assume this Pine will take forever to dry

🤷🏼‍♂️

According to my calculations, 80,170 and 200 lbs, but man does it feel like more!!!

That or I need to start working out again, lol.

Maybe I just need a Will crane. 😆

Nice logs! The pine could sit for a month or 2 or4 but won't need to dry out that much. It won't change much. Can't wait to see what you'll do in it. Remember it goes thru to the other side.

You can do anything, and I'll be watching.
