RE: Calliope

I don't have a sawmil. Have thought about getting one but I can get everything I want sawn *for* 20 cents a foot. And If I take some extra logs to the sawmill for the owner the price goes down. I have so much lumber drying in the barn, * I could never use it in a lifetime. I have about thirty logs back in the woods stacked up. Mostly white oak and hickory and a lot of poplar. I was down in the woods today and there was a dead tree that had come down so I decided to drag it up to the burn pile. Couldn't tell what it was till I had drug it up the hill. It was about 30 feet long so I had to cut it up to stack it on the burn pile. When I cut it I descovered it was walnut so rather than burn it I put it on top of the stack of logsto be milled. Cut the stump off and drug it to the house and sliced it up into some big turning blanks for the lathe. Will probably turn some bowls out of it.
