Thank you..
I try very hard not buy lumber. I have a Chainsaw, and Logmill. When my neighbors loose a tree in a storm, they pay me to cut it up. I haul it away and use the logmill to cut the logs into timbers to make things like this.
I found that cutting the timbers into 3x12" blanks, stacking them and banding them together until they dry is a great way to have all the lumber you need for wood projects.
