Rolling Out

2019

2019 was a quick blur, and is ending on a very happy note. Here are some of the highlights.

We bought a WOOD-MIZER

Which Wood | Spalted Maple

What do you do when you notice some spalted maple in your fire wood? Stop splitting immediately (of course) and put all of it aside. That’s what happened to us and just look at what we have been able to make so far.

Wood-Mizer Sawmill

So this happened….

We bought a sawmill! Not just any sawmill, we have invested in a Wood-Mizer! Adding this to our small business, we will be able to ➡

Mill for ourselves.

Mill for others.

Super excited about this!

Starting with the Walnut from Pine Street, of course!

Thanks for stopping by!
