    Another Fayetteville Newbie!!

    I am new to WW. Love working with wood, but am much more scientific/logical than creative. So, I didn't think I would be good at it. I built a couple of small projects in the last 2 months and have really caught the bug. I am very handy (general) and have a 20 x 40 workshop. It is fairly...

    Hi, Brad here, I got a love for milling rare or special woods, like walnut, cherry, cedar, and others too. I have been helping a friend who mills it, cures it, and planes it all on site. It is very interesting. Nice to have a rainy day to recover from loading and off loading 26 logs in 2 days.
