If I don't post a pic, it didn't happen, right? Well, I have been especially busy this summer collecting wood for this winter's projects. While I work full-time, I rarely watch tv so I have plenty of time to WW in the winter.
Summer? Hey, that's golf season! As a result of tonights matches, my team is playing for the Twilight League Championship! Yeah!
Okay....I'm feeling a little giddy right now about my golf game. Sorry for losing it there for a second. Here is the wood gathering evidence.......

This older gentleman has a Woodmiser Mill and is willing to mill as long as you deliver the raw product......this is salvaged American Elm...stinky stuff but I got close to 700 bft out of the tree. I'd just love one of these machines......they are the coolest.

Here is a load of soft maple and walnut I jumped on....$1 a bft. It's not all FAS, but there is quite a bit of good lumber in that load.

Here is my summer wood haul....soft maple, b. walnut, Am elm, and QS white oak. I stacked it inside or I won't be able to get at it once the snow flies.
It's tough in hardwood starved eastern Oregon to bring almost 1800 bft of lumber in for just over 50 cents a board ft., but I did it.......with a little sweat equity, gas, and time.
My first project is a new bedroom set for my LOML....she deserves it for loosing her parking garage.
