That’s a lot of choppin’! Is there anything special about Kentucky Coffee Trees? I’m not familiar...

KCT is similar in appearance to black/honey locust, but it’s not thorny. The wood has a beautiful tone when simply oiled and varnished, and is highly valued by furniture/cabinet makers.

Every time I laid the saw against it I imagined the book case that needs to be built in my grouch cave.

And I just did another thing that I wish I hadn’t done. I checked slab prices on the interwebs. That log was worth somewhere north of $3000 if it had been cut into 2” thick slabs.
