You buy that from Lumber Capital Log Yard, near Williamsport, PA?
The roof looks the same, but to hell with the old man, his daughters are definitely wood material!

I had a friend who was laid up with an injured hand, and he had ordered a saw mill........so me and a couple of Vette buddies put it together for him.......I'd say it was a definite 9.5 out of 10 on the DIY projects......he has a good supply of redwood on his property, and makes some beautiful stuff!

He’s 85. A good friend for over 35 years!

Nice! What are your plans for it?

Okay, makes sense. In the other pik of that guy, he looked pretty old. The father of those 2 babes is probably still in his 40s.
Check out their YT channel. They work in short-shorts in the summer! The non-redhead is the cuter of the two.
They're only about 100 miles from me. I've thought of driving down there, but I'm guessing those 20 year-old hotties prolly wouldn't want to bang a 74 year-old. :(

I’d like to make something for our small village. We have a tiny 150yr old Post Office on the corner. A neat bench would be useful….?
Keep in mind it takes one year per inch to dry wood to the right water content. These planks are almost 3” thick! They’re ugly but will make for an unknown future project! (That just means, it’s going to get stacked with all the other wood)!
Yo DAB+Tiki! Nice hit of hardwood!

back in the day those were called head rig operators....:yesnod: things have changed. I worked in many hi tech sawmills with scanners all very cool but i always liked the old timer making the decision.

Counted the lines from center to bark (didn't include the bark). I check again on the log cut closest to the ground.

Much to my wife's chagrin, I've got a pile of large live edge slabs in the unfinished part of our basement. Mostly black walnut and cherry.
About 15 years ago, I made a desk for my office out of black walnut slabs. I book matched the top and used birds eye maple butterflies as accents.
Several good YouTube channels with small lumbar mills.
Outdoors with the Morgans is a good one. Mike Morgan is also an outstanding equipment operator.

I love wood. Do some small time woodworking myself. God made trees for us to enjoy, inside as well as out.

Scanners never have hangovers

The trunk was too large for the sawmill, so I had to rip the entire length. No one to help me so I used my trailer hitch and truck to roll it over!

It is totally unbelievable but it is true. There are several books written about him, I read one other one, but the above was much better.
But I have zero interest in ever going there. What motivated you to go?
