| This page has pictures and descriptions of the unique Flame Boxelder available from Powder Creek Sawmill. This page is to give you a rough idea of what forms, shapes, and sizes we can supply. Don't ask for another heart-shaped cookie like the one above though. It was one in a million. | | Some of the most stunning patterns found in this wood is in the form of bookmatched end grain. | | The availability of book-matched pieces with this coloration and character, in large dimensions is unprecedented. |

| The Ambrosia Beetle leaves his signature inside the wood, but sometimes the saw can reveal what the wood will try to conceal. Turners and flat workers love to find this characteristic in the wood. | | The blocks above went to New York and were turned into Chinese Zodiacs. The Chinese use red and gold for this purpose and usually have to paint it on the surfaces of the zodiac; to find a wood with both colors occurring in it at the same time, to this degree, is unheard of and makes this wood extremely special to them. | | Along with turning blanks and lumber we also offer cross section cookies in custom thicknesses and diameters. |

| A luthier's dream come true. | | I never get tired of milling this species, especially when I open a log and see this. | | Deep, rich, vibrant colors like found in this 4" x 4" x 16" turning blank are truly rare. |

| A fresh load of logs ready to be bucked for the sawmill. | | Like many of the more stunning pieces, these went to Europe. | | Flame Boxelder trees grow fast and die young. I often catch a standing-dead tree with spalted wood. |
