    Picked up a mimosa log a while ago, kinda pretty...... similar to black walnut in density and behavior while sawing. IMG_20231026_090309.jpg IMG_20231026_091458.jpg IMG_20231026_093013.jpg IMG_20231028_181310.jpg

    Did up an order for a bunch of oak 3/4" x 10" barn siding...... stickered all the culls for whenever somebody wants low grade boards.

    A lot of our time lately has been going into a good size salvage job.....
    Lots of dead standing trees, and storm killed stuff.

    So far so okay, it just arrived today.
    I think it's a decent machine.
    It's going to be a learning curve, but I think it's going to work pretty well.

    I'll try to post updates as I get it dialed in.....or maybe I should just do a separate thread on it.
