    Sunday’s task, cedar… An older couple I know had this come over in one of their fields. I cleaned it up for the wood, surprisingly there is no center rot.

    Milling in freezing weather

    You will need to bring the moisture content down before the lumber can be used. If air drying you need to allow 1 year for every inch of thickness. If you fail to properly dry you will likely end up with splitting and cupping.

    Today’s task was hickory. I do not normally mill it and only do so if it is fresh cut due to its hardness. Got it cut up and most of it stacked and stickered. I milled it in 4/4, 5/4, 6/4 and 8/4 thicknesses.

    Bar for a tall hobbyist

    How about a bow that would eliminate bending over?

    It only has about 85 hours on it. It sat over the winter a couple of years ago and I had to replace that 30 amp fuse.

    I milled up the last of the Bradford pear I had. Cleaned out another abandoned house so I can use it for wood storage.

    Finally had time to post. Sealed all the ends and milled up 2 of the big sections. There was a lot of tension in one log and it blew apart. Also got most of the limbs milled up. Cleaning out another old house to stack wood in.

    Got the walnut down… I was able to get a strap around the dangling branch and pull it down. When I dragged it out of the woods the grapevines pulled down the other branch. Should be some interesting color in the broken top.

    I had noticed this walnut over the summer with the top broken out. Decided to investigate, pulled out a branch that had come down and will drop the tree tomorrow. It measures about 22” at the base, smaller than I would normally harvest but I need to mill it before the top starts to rot. By the...

    Went and picked up some Bradford pear today from a customer. Not large pieces but it will be good for projects.

    Big cedar

    Where I am in Virginia, any eastern red cedar over 12” invariably has center rot.
