He sold 3 signs, a table and 4 benches already this week. I only have 2 days left to try and catch up.

Rived Quercus alba

—-show me a tree that hides from on-coming winds, and i will show you a man already wrapped in cerecloth, while i marvel at the hands of the mighty oak held high, i but stand in awe of that one who’s genetic dna creates within a critique of scars….

Good evening! I took these at Woodfest 2007 which the local woodworking store (Woodzone) put on back during the summer. I thought the chainsaw carving guy was pretty good. I’ve also included some pictures of a bandsaw mill and some of that vendors wares. Enjoy!!http://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb320/cedarfreak/IMG_0378.jpg!

More Safety, Chainsaw….Broadax
Well that’s it….LOL
....I’m not able to blog my story I had thought to put in here this morning, since I was looking through the forums and I saw a question asked about; “If you where a hand plane?”! This got my mind to turning and so where I was going to go with “Slabbin’ at Wood” is out the door for today.

We place lumber on the chop saw station, which ...
