The rain finally let up today enough to get some milling in.
Coming down the home stretch...only a few logs left. These cedar logs were all quartered by hand with splitting wedges and a sledge at the time the tree was dropped in order to move them.
(The saws are all running when they're sitting on or in a log in these photos...I stopped just long enough to fish the camera out of my jacket pocket.)
The little Husky 137 is being used freehand to trim and square up the logs for the chainsaw mill. Nice little saw.
Squared up and ready to go.
A shot of the worksite.
The cedar is to be used for a grape stake fence. The 2" slabs will be ripped to 2" wide pieces on a table saw, then ripped diagonally (also on a table saw) to get the triangular shaped grape stakes.
Finished a cut with the Husky 455 Rancher/Alaskan Small Log Mill.
Stopped in the middle of a cut for the photo. I'm using homemade teak wedges.
Stacked up. No stickers between these slabs, as I want them to stay moist (so they don't split when working with them). Once they're attached to the fence they can dry all they want.
The tarp is to keep the rain off, as it's been raining almost every day here for over a month now. I want them wet, not soaked
