Wednesday, July 21, 2021 -- Manhattan Beach Pier

The large ship offshore is now closer to Manhattan Beach Pier.
Wonder what it's dong out there for multiple days...



 

Sunday, July 18, 2021 -- Long Beach Antique Swap Meet -- Wood Slab -- Part 2

It's got a finish on it.
Probably used to be a table?
No idea what kind of wood it is.
Also, a strange shape for a tree trunk...  Maybe it was a very large limb of a very large tree?

It was cut on a diagonal to get it to be longer in one direction, so it could have been a kinda round trunk/limb, but still has the "bumped out" shape on one side...

Don't know if this damage was there when it was made into a table or if it happened during use...

This is the bottom side of the slab (about 2" thick).





Appears to be a fast growing tree.  The rings don't appear to be very tight together...


Some pretty good damage on this end of the slab also.  Appears to be chew marks...  Dog?

Topeak QR Beam Rack -- will put it on the old Trek mountain bike...
