Logging

My neighbor, Mike, recently mentioned his buddy had some trees knocked down during a recent storm. Several of the trees were red oak. Would I be interested in having them cut into lumber. Certainly.

He we see Brian's truck ready to tow the first load of logs to the mill. It was no small feat to load the trailer using only a come-along and a couple of chains.



Here are our logs nicely stacked at the mill (H&K) waiting to be cut.



Here is the center of the operation - basically a pole barn and the mill.



And here is the mill.



We should get a call in a few weeks to retrieve our boards. Now I need to decide what to build.
