re: Milling your own lumber

I started out trying to get a lumber pile going to supply my old man hobby of woodworking. I went to Missouri and bought a shop full of Grizzly tools. I assembled a variety of logs and had Craig them. I would always have them rough cut to 5/4. I helped a couple of guys cut and stack lumber and it is very exciting to see what nature has hidden under the bark kinda like Christmas morning over and over. Very addicting. We have a wide variety of wood and we all just share wood and tools and do different types of woodwork. The key is not cutting but drying. I made a kiln out of an old cargo trailer that I have insulated. I can dry a stack of 14 ft lumber 5ft wide and 6 ft high stickered. No Colors helped me get going and I hope to make a piece of furniture from some of the wood that I got. The is just an ongoing experience and I will update you if you would like. You can contact me directly if you want. And by the way stacking and restacking wood is work
