We cut the base of a Basalt sink with the sawmill today. We had a diamond bandsaw blade made that fits the sawmill and mounted the stone on the mill.. it cut smooth and straight! We are hoping to use the blade for this and sculptures, fountains, head stones, counter tops etc.. We also installed wood racks in the shop so that we can store more wood inside.

We refinished a redwood burl table that Scott's mom and GT made in the late 70's. We brought it back from Illinois on our way back from Indiana.



We took down two large black walnut trees on Friday. One was leaning over a house and the other was dominating two fruit trees. The log on one will be excellent for milling. The Bobcat was great for material removal.

We installed out molder in the shop and should be making flooring and trim soon!

We finished a Douglas Fir bench last week. It has through tenons and pegs. We went to Indiana to pick up a new machine. The driving was crazy across the country. We went to the factory and did some training and drove it 1200 miles home through 13" of new snow on Vail Pass. It made to to the shop safely, Chris helped unload it and we should have it set up in a few days. What is it? It is a molder for shaping wood into all kinds of shapes, tongue and groove floring and paneling, finished lumber, trim, quarter rounds, base and case, crown molding etc.. Look for some new work coming out soon!
