    Today I had to paid a visit to one of the best lumberyards here in my area. They still have a sawmill and you can bring logs which they will cut up for you, you can trade your log for already cut lumber or order some rough sawn material to be resawn, which is what I did today. They are part of the Do it Best Hardware buying group. So, I picked up calendar called Vintage tools ... Timeless Wisdom. The February photo is a picture of a axe and the following quote:

    Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe.
