Welcome! Whatever you do, get those white oaks milled before they dry too much! It gets hard to cut!

Thanks and yes the white oak are a little tougher now. Only half dozen of them left then a dozen red oak.

Welcome to the FF!

Thanks for the kind welcome.
So far I have used some for the basement wall in a little man cave for me in a new home we had built and cut the same for my son in his new home.
Sold enough live edge and dimensional to pay for blades,gas, and some Crown for the down times.

Oh my Gosh! Somebody call PETA.

Okay, just joking. In what should be the standard FF greeting to new sawmillers: "Welcome A Board."

archeryplus · March 28, 2024, 07:27:23 AM

Thanks all,
and the peasant! That was the first bird I shot over a golden retreiver that my parents gave me as a pup on my high school graduation in 1979.
So that bird was shot in 1980.

Not much for peasant in Wisconsin any longer and even then we planted alot through the loalFish and Game club.

Sure miss that style of hunting.

Thank you Majic,
And yes that saying helped me through a tough stretch when my son had a TBI due to a tree felling accident.
But thanks to alot of prayrs he has had a basiclly full recover but does have a couple metal straps holding a skull plate in place.
