Northern project 2020 cancelled till Fall

Ill be there this year..
I was thinking it would be fun to 1/4 saw a nice oak or two on your gleaming new mill. I never tire of watching the magic patterns and pictures that come out with the rays.
It would be fun to bring cordless tools and build benches or whatever from the slabs (or whatever y'all call the first 4 waste cut peices) and edging junk etc.

Beav,
That sounds good.
I have only quarter sawn once and it was pine.
I will be on the look out for a large oak log.

Count us in. Any way we can do it, we'll be there to watch, learn and help.
I'll give you a phone call this weekend.
Oliver and Harriett

I'm in for the 19th and 20th. I'll be running between here and CT every day or so for the next week. As soon as I get done with that I'll stop down to see you

I would like to go but there is many projects not set yet so I could confirm only at the last minute. Like K-guy, Autumn is a better moment for me. Last time was really fun to see all those bees working around all with different WM mills. It could had been a real good publicity for WM

I would try to come regardless but can't commit to a date now, tmgo.

Bruno of NH · February 23, 2020, 08:52:21 AM

Another option would be in September the 19th and 20th
A very nice time of year in NH if that gathers any following.

Sorry folks
I had some unforseen things come up this weekend.
I'm going to have to call off the project till Fall
I will revist the idea if there is any interest in August.
Sorry Bruno

curved-wood · February 25, 2020, 07:10:33 AM

That is the best formula for me. So I will check around august for a meeting in fall

I'm a new member around here, have been doing a ton of research with your guys help. I'd be interested in a get together, if the invite is extended to new forum members. I'm hoping to buy a mill in the fall/winter and Would like to talk face to face with some owners to get opinions/advice. Thanks in advance!! Will check back in August

Bruno of NH · February 28, 2020, 08:09:57 AM

All member new and old are invited to the Northern Project.

Jim_Rogers · February 28, 2020, 09:13:34 AM

I would suggest that non members be allowed to join as well.
So that they could see what a Forestry Forum gathering is all about.

I invited non members last year
They enjoyed it

I hope family stuff is resolved quickly, and I look forward to meeting you in the fall, schedule permitting.! thanks for all you comments in the weight loss thread!

alanh · February 28, 2020, 09:28:23 AM

Ventryjr, this is a nice place to check out mills.

I go to the one in Bangor, ME. Should be 4-5 different vendors of sawmills there.
Logrite should be there too. You will need a cantdog or a peavey from them. I can spend a day just looking at stuff there. Well really 2 days. ;D
