Hi all,
I have a couple projects that I want to use Jummywood on, but where oh where
do you guys buy this stuff? Hardwood dealers don't carry it. The borgs
stock it but is expensive since it is S4S. I can buy rough sawn red oak for
about the same price as the stuff! Where could I find some good ol' rough
sawn Jumstock at a reasonable price?
Jums?

I can buy it from a sawmill green for 60¢ a bd. ft. I just don't have the
room to store it for a year or two to dry out..
I've use lumber from HD, Lowes, but the results are not always the best. It
can cup or warp in hours. So, I went to a local lumberyard and bought some
to make a bookcase to match an existing one. All I needed was two 1 x 10's
to do the job. Cut the pieces to rough length and set them aside to finish
the next day. Came back and three of the six were cupped.
I went to a hardwood dealer, Connecticut Hardwood Guild in Enfield.
http://www.cwghardwoodoutlet.com/hardwood/index.shtml
Paid 2.95 for some 1" pine. They planed it to the thickness I wanted, cut
a straight edge, then cut it to rough length so I could fit it into the
trunk of my car. It is still perfectly straight. The bookcase is done and
the leftover is still flat.
The planer they have is very nice. About 24" wide, it will do both sides at
the same time. Punch in the desired thickness, feed in the wood, and one
pass to take off a `1/4" or so. Looked like about a 25 HP motor on it.

Local hardwood dealer also carries jummywood. Place has really
expanded both size and stock but also hardware, etc.

The grey/blue you are talking about is iron tannate? Or something else?
We fight with tannate alot with oak as the paint on our bunks has worn
through. As well I move a lot of material on forks.
The wood was nice, logs were very small and only a couple. He hauled
them from NY or PA as I recall.

Ok folks, for those of us who are not American and aren't familiar with this
name, what is Jummy wood/tree in ordinary English? It seems to be a
colloquial term. I haven't found anything useful via web searches.

Surprise Jums. I knew you were waiting for me to jump all over this one
and make some smartass remark about buying it from a cheap firewood
store or somesuch.
Naw. It's closer to what Ed said above. For cheap stuff hit your local
borg and spend some time sorting through the junk. If you find some
usable stuff, buy them out, take it home and sticker it, assuming it's
wet. If you need some decent wide boards, go to a real lumber yard and
buy the straight grained pine for fir. Nice stuff to work with.
mahalo,

Come by my place with a chainsaw. I got a buncha Jummy trees that need to
be replaced with something less obnoxious.

Like Silvan said, I have a tree you can take down for me at
reasonable price. It's oregon pine ("jummywood" according to
Phully) but we call it doug fir here.
Mikey's right. They're obnoxious. (Smell good, but leave pine
sap/needles/cones EVERYWHERE.)

Buy? What are you thinking. Crates and pallets. I am wondering how
my band mill that uncle and I are building will do cutting some red
pine from my property to test it.
Does anyone know how hard red pine / aka norway pine is? I was
thinking of making some flooring from some.
I wonder what pallet shops pay for pine and poplar.

No but assuming it is www.woodweb.com I will look. Were you cutting

Thanks for the web site. Learned about the grey/blue streaking I
found in some test cuts I made. How did his wood look?

It is a blue stain in pine. I took a look at woodweb and ran into
this http://www.woodweb.com/cgi-bin/forums/sawdry.pl?read=279765
That got my interest since I plan to cut some red pine on my land for
personal use.
The woodweb site is a very interesting one. So far I've been reading
in sawing and drying forum. Uncle and I hope to make a first test cut
this week with the mill we are building.

I am curious if the blue stain can be treated or if finishes change it
a bit. Have to play with it a bit to see how it looks.

It is pretty cool that something you like isn't liked much by others.
Seems like most things every one wants it.
FWIW, we did a couple of test cuts today with our band mill. We are
using a 9.9 onan engine that was given to us with a spare needing work
and v belt pulleys for band wheels. So far we have < 750 into this.
We need to work on blade alignment and get a lube system for blade.
We cut two red pine logs today and the blade is coated on one side
with pitch. What kind of mix do you use? We were told to try pinesol
and water.
