The Urns for Vets team (Sawman101, Jackleg and Skymaster) are in need of more urns. This is a great opportunity to give back to those who have served this country. Now I need some volunteers - 5 or 6 on prep day Friday April 5 and 10 or 12 on Saturday April 6. With a goal of 100 urns, the first challenge was to find approx. 250 bdft of dry lumber 8 to 10" wide at a great price. Our first call was to Jack Murdock (saw4you), a long time member of NCWW. With out asking Jack immediately told us to come and get what we need for free.
To thank Jack, please support his business Murdock Building & Portable Sawmill www.ncsawmill.com Jack has great lumber at even better prices

I'm up for the April 5th prep day. Do you need assistance with lumber pickup ? I can help here also.
Phil please send me your address.
Thanks

I will be picking the lumber after the NCWW trailer leaves on March 16. However I will not know the exact day...I will have to find a quiet day at work and sneak out to get it.

I live in NE Raleigh 27604. I will pm address when we get closer

Phil, you can put me down as a probable for the prep day. I'm open unless I'm employed by then. I 'll still try and get the time off if I am.

Being that I am not up to standing for long periods of time because of my back, knees and legs, I'm just going to stop by to lend moral support. I also will be bringing a trailer and pickup truck load of the phenolic stuff. Plenty of extra for sale of 1/2" and 3/4" sheets plus much cutoffs.

Quick Update:
Jack Murdock (saw4you) donated enough wood for at least 100 urns
Charlie is milling all the rough stock into perfectly sized S4S
There is no doubt we will surpass the build goal of 100 urns
and thanks to a 1/2 off sale at Fresh Market I will be serving baby back ribs on Friday

We still have room for more volunteers
