Scott Smith to the Rescue!

[Steve_Honeycutt]

It appears that our own Scott Smith has been busy. I posted about a massive willow oak being taken down at Blandwood (Governor Morehead's home) in Greensboro. It appears that Scott has loaded the trunk and it is destined for his sawmill. See the article below that appeared in the Greensboro News and Record today:

Those Egyptians were smart people back then being able to move or in the case of Scott Smith being load 24k lbs on to a trailer with some basic hand tools.

Good article, pics and free advertisement Scott :thumbs_up

Read the article this morning in the surgery office while I was waiting for more back injections. Good to see a find tree saved for future use and not occupy a landfill needlessly. Good work Scott.

I read Susan Ladd's column on this in today's paper and kudos for Scott :eusa_danc. I remember the previous article saying that the wood would be harvested, but did not know that one of our own would be involved.

If it big / huge / ginormous and its oak Scott Smith will not be far away.

Lol - thanks all for the kind comments! It was a fun project. We will most likely mill it into a combination of slabs and QS in April.

I saw this chunk of wood in person at Scott's mill yesterday. It is just massive and is going to produce some gorgeous wood.
