I was milling some of those old logs I was freeing from the brush pile last weekend when I noticed that I was out of water and about out of gas on the lumbermill. So I head into the house, but noticed something colorful on the stairs...

| I looked it up, this is called an "Eft" and are known around these parts (eastern north america) |
Milling some wood - finally!
I started pulling some of that old wood left over from when the garage went in (must be 3rd year for it? - maybe 4th!) It was/is in pretty rough shape - most will be waste at this point. But I am getting some lumber out of it!
 |
| The 8x8 on the left is about 13ft long. The others I think are about 10ft long. You can see that there is some flex in this wood yet! It's a bit wavey. |
 |
| I put this pile on the flattest and "driest" place I had outside. I will be using this stuff for the wood shed - I think. Maybe some for the grape arbor tops too. So indoor curing isn't needed. |
 |
| There is a 4th log on the mill right now - I got the basic cant shape but it was too dark to judge spongy wood, so I am waiting for tomorrow to make a judgement as to how to mill it. |
 |
I did 3 logs today - including the one I used for the "sleepers" - the ones that are touching the ground there. They are 4x4's

It's slow going with a lot of waste wood. I also cut the stickers from some of the wasted wood. At least I can get short sticker length pieces!
