I am relatively new to woodworking. Only been at it a few years now. When I had some land cleared in 2008 I kept all the large poplar and red oak and had it milled and stickered to air dry. Initially I was only thinking of flooring, but I had done some woodwork as a youth so it occurred to me it might be fun again. We built the place like a carriage house - with a 3-car garage on the bottom and an apartment above. Long story short, the garage is now a fledgling wood shop and the yard is littered with stacks of wood. Pictures of both to come.
-- Some problems are best solved with an optimistic approach. Optimism shines a light on alternatives that are otherwise not visible.

Milling Lumber (grudgingly) #8: When mistakes are made...
There was one mistake made. The miller was pushing a little too hard (milling too fast) and the blade was getting dull. When you do that, the blade will tend to wander resulting in a wavy cut. Unfortunately he was right in the middle of quarter...

Crosscut Sleds Made Simple #1: Thinking about making a sled?
