    Thanks to buzz-saw for having me over on Friday to mill some logs that had special meaning. Cedar and sassafras sourced from my oldest stepdaughters in recent weeks. Milled for use in some stand up planters for her garden. Enough sass for at least one complete planter. Cedar 2x4's for legs. IMG_3876.JPG IMG_3877.JPG IMG_3879.JPG IMG_3881.JPG Also ran a "peyronies diseased" (his term) cherry through. One board split after being cut with a pop. Tension in the wood released. Not much color to them either. IMG_3884.JPG IMG_3885.JPG IMG_3886.JPG One last cherry log that turned out to be river birch past its prime. Too bad as it had some nice spalting to it.

    All in all a fun time as always. Very cool seeing what logs look like inside. IMG_3882.JPG IMG_3883.JPG IMG_3890.JPG IMG_3893.JPG Milled some cedar thinner for lath i use for making lattice sheets. Ran them though my table saw after at home. IMG_3905.JPG IMG_3906.JPG

    anytime I definitely have some fun
    I think we had the lucky blade on there
    Cut a lot of logs over three days no metal and no OSHA safety inspection
    Thanks for the fun!:thumbs::thumbs:

    Nice batch of lumber there and with a family connection! That buzz-saw guy is a good egg! You are both fortunate to have a like minded friend close by!

    He is an "Ace in the Hole" for finding wood. You never know what is coming down the pipe! :thumbs:

    Good thing. If he saw the "vertical hold down clamp" we used you'd be in deep doo doo.;)
