Saturdays sawing

[Ivey]

Hello everyone,
Got to saw some more of my own logs yesterday. Sawed a couple of w/ash logs, first time that I have ever sawn any ash, looks like oak. Also sawed some pretty r/oak.
Oh, and I also got some work done on the shed that I'm building on the side of the saw barn.
BTW all of this lumber is for sale.:-D

Looks like you had a very productive day Ivey. And you are getting a nice selection of wood onhand.

Yes Dolan, things went well Saturday. Trying to get cover over the sawmill, and have room for air drying. Not going to stack good lumber out from under cover anymore. I tried that it does not work for me.
Yes, I am getting a pretty good stack. Trying to get a little of everything that I can get my hands on that looks good.
Come see me sometimes, you can give me some insight on how to look at a board from a craftsman point of view,:-D may even give you some to try out...

Really nice looking FS lumber Ivey, I'm sure you wont have any problems getting rid of it.

Thanks Jeff, does not seem to be any interest at this time.
I love the looks of pretty wood. Thats why I enjoy sawing, Its just like opening a gift thats all wraped up you just never know whats gonna be inside.:-D I wish that I had the skills, and equipment that some folks had, then I would just keep it all.....

Ivey, I suspect there will be a time shortly, where you wished you had a little time to breath. You got a nice setup just keep plugging along, once the word gets out you'll stay as busy as you want to stay. I would consider this a good time to plan and build just like your doing. I'm sure you'll pick up a few folks from this site once they see all that great lumber you got :icon_thum.

yup, I've been looking at the purdy wood, and looking into the empty wallet, too! There will come a time I will relieve the burden of having to store so much wood:eusa_danc it's just not now

Boy howdy, that is some gorgeous wood grain!

 

[Ivey]

So, you are saying that if I build it, they will come:roll: :roll:
I don't mind stacking it up, it only gets better the drier it is. I just worry that I may not have the thickness that someone might want. I have been sawing most of the hardwoods at 5/4, pine well thats a different story:-D

Got two more loads coming in next week.. I'd better get busy:-D

Thanks for the offer, I'll stop by sometime (I'll contact you first) but I'm not sure my wookworking skills qualify me as a "craftsman" :lol: :lol: but I do like to cut up a piece of wood occassionally.
