    As many of you know I am a subscriber to Fine Woodworking and Homebuilding. Tauton Press produces great informative videos regarding wood and working with it. Here is an installment of a small Pennsylvanian sawmill and wood drying operation. Hope you all enjoy.



    Alot of great tips for drying firewood too. I like the covers for the outdoor piles.

    Makes you want to size all splits to about 1", no? Ready in a year!

    Surprised there is no mention of vapor barriers under the outside stacks. Plenty of humidity must rise from the soil?
