Milled Hemlock Today

[burningwood]

Milled eight boards 1.25 inches thick, 8 feet 6 inches long with the smallest 19 inches wide. I did get to use the Hi-Lift Jack today which makes it mch easier on the back.

Looks like Saturday I'll try (depending on the weather) milling another Hemlock which mother nature took care of.

Thanks buzz sawyer, looks like this weekend will be a wet one. I had planned on 28 boards milled this Labor Day Weekend but that looks like it will change.
