Hi all, had a special order yesterday for some crosscut slabs. These are a pain in the butt. Thery are hard to get clamped good enough for my likings. I sawed these at 12/4 and they are 24"W. He also wanted the 2' butt log. 8)
Is there any suggestions as to who I can call to help clear felled oak & pine trees and mill them into lumber in the Raleigh area? Or mill on-site, etc?? About how much woud it cost, etc? 8 to 36 in dia trunks
Any help or connections on this would be appriciated.

I've got 100 bf of QS red oak that I got at last Saturday's lumber run. Nice lumber at a bargain price from Jeff and Scott. However, I don't have a jointer or planer to convert it to S4S stock (and have never done it either).

Last weekend I was building a simple panel cutting sled and grabbed a piece of 5" wide 4/4 scrap poplar to use as a fence. Yeah, I know poplar is not the best choice but it's what I had. I proceeded to face joint, plan to thickness, edge joint and then rip to size. Final dimensions = 31"...

I'm looking to get some trees sawn up around the Raleigh area (2 or 3). Does anyone know who would saw them and a ballpark price to have it done? Thanks
Started milling a 32" dia 15' long American elm crotch log today, wanted to make a pictorial. American elm is some of the prettiest wood I ever seen. And we won't see much of it either; Dutch elm disease has just about wiped out the entire United Sates population. American elm of any size is a...
I am considering trying to make a copy of my girlfriend's night stand for her so she can have 2 of them. But one of my big obstacles is that it has a fair bit of dentil moulding on it, and I haven't the slightest idea how to mill that, short of hand carving it which would be time consuming and...
