Why would you burn that when you could make a giant throwing-star (shuriken) out of it?!

Laugh it up funny boy! Don't think I mightn't. Since it is already Ash, it just made sense to burn it. I admit that while looking at them on the floor and leaning against the wall - keep in mind these are pedestal legs - and considering where best to cut them to fit in my coffee-can charcoal retort rocket thingy, I wandered astray to thinking what a lovely set of shelf brackets they'd make.
In reading your reposte, I did notice an interesting advert on the page for custom wood switch-plates. Not a bad idea for some thin sawed pieces o' woot. ..... ... ___ __......
Aye; 'tis true. But it's Ash through & through, and while plain-cut Ash strongly resembles Oak, quarter-sawn Ash does not give the 'tiger' pattern that quarter-sawn Oak does because Ash wood lacks the wide rays.
Do I lay 'em 3 legs to fire or steel Doug? What say yee?

I second the steel, but you should really consider a shuriken instead of shelves, seriously!
But I'd forgive you if you made cool switchplates...
You can always retort the scraps.

That's a big Jolly Roger; the pieces go to the possible bag.
Here's mystery wood #5. This is from the bole of a 30" tree that went down into power lines ~1961. Recovered due to the foresight of an operations superintendent of the utility company.

In the mean time, I took more out of that tool chest than the #45. That the other tools still need thourough cleaning is not helping my atittude attitude (or my spelling!). One may not be what it seems, the other exactly so.

Well, I know jack-diddley-squat about this stuff, but I can't help guessing
1) Some type of wood grip (I know, that's a pathetic guess )
2) A mounting bracket for a planer?
Let Doug guess before you give it away, as he seems to know more about this stuff than I and I'm sure he would enjoy the challenge.
