lionhrt has offered to handle the logistics of this fundraiser.

lionhrt may decide whether these are for sale, auctioned to high bidders, or raffled. All monies donated for the slabs will be collected by lionhrt and then go directly to Massivedesign in one payment to be donated to fight I-1639. Massivedesign is inundated with the other I-1639 fundraiser, so we don't want to make more work for him. No monies will stay with me, lionhrt or any other volunteers in this effort. I am happy to offer a slab or two to the kind mule if we can find one, and to lionhrt et al who volunteer in the coordination of the collection of donations or other work.
My only involvement will be in handing off the slabs to a mule (if we can find someone willing) and answering questions regarding dimensions, shapes, figure, etc that I have not covered in this post. I'll also try to update this OP with additional information as questions are asked when I have time to get on the computer.

Any questions about any piece, post up the question and I'll try to answer it.
All of the original pieces listed are less than 10% moisture and ready for interior or exterior projects. To the best of my knowledge, any pitch pockets will have turned into a hardened resin or amber by now. These all come from my personal dry and seasoned stash, not green fresh cut.
Some pieces have dark/light lines that cross the entire board - this is not figure, but a harmonic in my saw that I was chasing down several years ago when these were cut. They will plane or sand out.

Item A :
Douglas Fir, 97"+ long , 2-1/4" thick, Wide end 18-1/4" and 15"... Narrow End 14-1/2" and 10"

Item B :
Alder, slightly spalted. Very striking fine figure. It looks light, but with an oil stain the fine details will pop out.
Length 99-7/8" 1" thick, slightly cupped along its length. Can do a skip plane if desired before shipping off with a mule.
Wide End : 13-1/2" and 10-1/2"
Narrow End : 11-3/4" and 9"
Spoiler: show
Image
Image


Item C and D , Probably together for a project like live edge shelves. If I find a suitable log I'll add more to these two.
C:
Doug Fir Skip planed, 79" long, 15/16" thick,
Wide End : ~8-3/4" and 7-1/8",
Narrow End : ~6-1/8" and 3-1/2"
D:
Doug Fir Skip planed, partial loose bark, (I'll have to get length) 1-1/16th thick
Wide End : 8" and 6-1/4"
Narrow End : 6-1/4" and 3-1/4"
Spoiler: show

E and F Probably together, you guys decide.
Alder, skip planed, lightly spalted
E: 95-7/8" long, 1-1/16" thick , 5-5/8" + width
F: 101-1/2" long, 1" thick, 6-7/8"+ width
Spoiler: show
Image
Image
Image



G:
Douglas Fir, 97" long, 2" thick
Wide End : 23-3/4" and 20-1/2"
Narrow End : 16-1/8" and 9-3/4"
Pitch pockets have turned to solid resin. Nice color and grain.

ETA on 2 October

The Black Walnut has arrived. Thank you for the pre-photo donations!

H : I have placed a familiar size object to compare size. Weight is approximately 3 oz. Color is typical for Black Walnut, with a touch of the highly desirable purple.
Hopefully the photos give a decent idea of the size and coloration.

This piece is also included in H, hopefully someone can find some use for it.
Spoiler: show
Length about 9' overall.

Note the saw cuts on one side of the wide end:

The measurements of the thinner area are pictured:

The other side of this photo is where the saw thinning is located.

And here's the thinned side:

Middle of one side:

Middle other side :

Smaller end one side:

And I didn't snap a pic of the tape sideways on the other side's small end:

The character of this board is all over the place... Wide and flat, but with the saw mark at that end, with square or nearly squared bark side (live edge) to steep angled live edge at the narrow end.

Oh, almost forgot Brian's Bewbies :

How do we enter? What’s the cost? When is the drawing?

I know. Lion is handling it. I’m just jabbing. Need wood.

Stop jabbing. I'm already hurting.
BTW, there will be more wood added including some Black Walnut.

I believe that the organizers are still soliciting suggestions as far as which type of fundraiser this will be. I have no more input on this, other than answering specific questions about the wood and pestering Massivedesign to stop trolling lionhrt et al.

Give suggestions on how we can get the wood to the ones who want it and support the fight against I-1639 please!

Ok let`s make some money to fight 1639!!! This is going to be an auction!

I figure the best way to handle this will be to name the Item you wish to bid on and such as A, B or C and then your dollar amount.

Example: B- $XX
C-$XXX

Each night I will update the High bidder on each item. This auction will end on the 7th the same as the drawing (right after Walking Dead of course) Think of all the cool projects you can do with these and help fight 1639.

Let the bidding begin.....what`s our first bid? do I hear an opening bid..yeadda yeadda and all that stuff you don`t understand an auctioneer say.
So the bids are:
85 bucks on "A" to mmalleck
25 bucks on "B" to Jaegerbomber
25 bucks on "C&D" to entropicmass
20 bucks on "E&F" to entropicmass
85 bucks on "G" to mmalleck
100 bucks on "H" to Jagerbomber35

Not at all- If they end up going for $1, still happy to see someone sending $ to fight I-1639.

I'm going to defer to the morally superior and retract this post
