Sills done, onto the posts...

[redoak]

Hi all. Here are some pictures of the project. I've got the 9 8x8x10' sills milled out. I'm pleased with the results. The wane will not get in the way for the sills. On the rack are first of 9 8x8x10' posts, much nicer logs there, I should get them easily wane-free.

This CSM'ing is great! I'm thinking I'll mill out 1 1/2" flooring for the barn in red maple and red oak. Anyone ever use red maple for anything?

Interesting... keep them coming. Yes I have used red maple in the woodshop. It's a little softer than hard maple, but not by a lot. Works with tools well, similar to hard maple or cherry.

So what is your time table? When will we actually see some form or structure taking place?

How about some closer pics of those unistrut rails...opcorn:

I hope to have a barn raising in November. Should have the sills, floor joists, and flooring in place by the beginning of August. Next time I am out there I'll do a close up of the uni-stut rails.
