The mill is cooling off...

quickly...it's bloody cold..wind right out of the northeast...funny how you don't
notice until you stop sawing...

I cut another pecan up live edged...nice spalt in in it but not much heart...just a little 10 inch stick for bookshelf sides...

did some 14 ft 1x?? for some shoe molding that She Who Must Be Obeyed
needs....sure beats paying 52 cents a foot...god I'm spoilt...

I was nursing the first blade along to see how far it would go and how it acts when it gets jacked....got a really neat tapered board out of the last log I cut... THAT one will get cut short before it hits the planer...not a good way to cut wedges I'm guessing..

Don’t worry after a few broken blades, a few monthly payments on the mill and a couple boxes blades --- the boards will not feel so cheap and the logs will become more selective.

We looked at that prior to pulling the trigger on this one...once I cut the logs i have on hand now, for their various purposes, the mill is pretty much justified..between residing the outbuildings and cutting lumber for mama's floors we're all square...bloody flooring is expensive...

I >might< have a line on a 44" DBH Oak..gotta catch the guy..that'd be pretty if quartersawn...it's got some torsion though...

Heard that. I'm cutting pine for ceilings, walls and floors.

Ar 29.00 each, I could well have bought the posts but the planking is big bucks!
