Howdy everybody!
I just got in from a little sawin' and stumbled onto the site after I choked down dinner. I'm literally still "shakin' off the sawdust" - no joke!
Looks like a great site and community here, so I'll be back later when I have the time to visit a spell. I think the wife still has a few "honey-dos" lined up for me this evening, but I'll definitely check in again soon.
While I'm here, I want to mention that if there are any craftsmen members in my vicinity (Burlington-Graham area) I may have some reasonably priced rough-cut lumber for you. Purchased a band saw mill a few years back with great aspirations to saw and build my own home and furniture, but as most of you know, holding down a full-time job makes such ambitious goals more a dream than a reality.
Although I do keep a lot of what I saw to use myself, from time-to-time (like now) I have more lumber than I need. If you have some specific needs that include red or white oak 1x's or 2x's, or maybe maple or poplar, let me know. One caveat though, I have a really odd work schedule and if you need it "right now" you'll probably be better off getting it from someone available 24/7.
I also can do some custom milling for you if you have a really flexible deadline and don't have a problem with long-range planning. I can bring the mill to you, or you can bring me the timber. Right now I have about 40 logs to saw, and will have to chisel away at them piecemeal until I get them done. Some of that lumber will also be for sale.
While all of my boards are air-dried, some of them were sticked and stacked for 2 years before they were moved into sheds. They've been there for another 6-8 years, so they will be plenty dry and give even a commercial planer a workout!
OK, gotta run, but email me if you need more info on the lumber or milling.
