Called live edge boards. I operate a big mill, nothing is thrown away. I grind and sell bark, screen and sell sawdust.
you're only allowed so many sunrises... I aim to see every one of them!

We call it wane at the mill and we are allowed so much per board. Other then the knots a lot of those look like #1 boards.

They are harvesting younger trees every year to help fill orders. When I first got I to construction my boss complained about the quality of wood. He would sort through the pile and send back anything he rejected. Mot of what he sent back would be considered #1 or select today.
Common sense is a not a vegetable that does well in everyone's garden.

When I was in the military there was a guy from Iowa I think it was, who drove around looking for abandoned buildings to buy the wood. He only was interested in boards that had vertical siding. Not sure why that was; never asked him. That was in the late 60s.
The difference between animals and humans is that animals would never let the dumbest ones lead the pack.

Last year I cut some board and posts with my Alaskan saw mill to build the chicken coop after I saw the lumber prices. I had one slab 2 1/2 inches thick live edge that had the shape of a bottle as I cut it out of a crotch. The admiral said that she wants to sell that board rough cut as it was. So she took a couple of pictures and sold the darn thing for 700 bucks on day two of posting the pictures online. It was red oak and not properly dried yet. People are crazy

About 1000 board feet of air-dried, 10/4, live-edge walnut I had milled two years ago. The owners were going to chop it up for firewood but didn’t have a saw big enough for the main trunk. About $15,000-$20,000 worth of wood there at current market prices.
Eh...wot?
