LMAO

Not a great example of the most solid blues groove on that album. But posted it because of the name recognition of that particular song.

Acquired taste? I suppose one either likes the blues or not. I'd say it's above average to really good stuff coming from that era of musicians.
And as pre-Pop Fleetwood Mac ... quite different from what I expected to hear...

Creedence........The Concert

I got a copy of that LP when it came out. Mine is titled at the Royal Abert Hall before changing it to The Concert. Since it was mislabeled as they never played there, it's still factory sealed.

What's it like to listen to? I've never heard it but reviews and reports I read long ago were that it was not stellar.

It's various cuts from a live concert or concerts, so there's no continuity from song to song. Overall it's a decent recording, with the pace a little slower than the studio versions. So, it's different. Would have been better if each side of the LP was unbroken with no cuts.
Have to wonder why they did it this way.

The planks are wild black cherry from a neighbors tree I chainsawed out and dried in the garage. Then hit them with a 80 grit auto body grinder to smooth them a little, then clear spar urethane.
The upright legs are black walnut from back yard. They're bored for thick threaded rod, fender washers, and nuts.
The legs are tightened onto the lower plank, with threaded rod protruding out the top. The upper plank has blind holes bored into the under side to index onto the protruding rod.
If your going to make "furniture" out of local green wood, a few things to do. Get the bark off ASAP, easily peels off with a putty knife. Then seal the end grain with wood glue and dry it for at least a couple months or more. It will split and twist if the end grain isn't sealed.

A friend had to cut down several large trees on a relatives property, oak, mesquite and cedar, he bought one of those portable saw mills and ended up with an entire barn full of lumber. I will pass along the end grain information for sure. I know he did some research on how to stack and store the lumber but I don’t think he knows about that, thanks. The property had been in his family for three generations and some of the trees were planted by his great grandfather, the state was taking the land for a highway expansion and would have just bulldozed the entire grove and a hundred year old barn. My buddy found a company to help him move the barn and rebuild it on another part of the property but it cost him more than a new barn would have.

The saw mills that process a lot of logs don't seal the end grain before drying because it's labor intensive and split ends get cut off. The smaller mills that specialize in veneer logs and black walnut do seal the ends.
There's a industry of making artisanal log and stick furniture and those people also seal the ends. A small tree like I used for the uprights will split from end to end due to uneven drying if it's not sealed.
