Former logger here, we (my son and I) have a mill and I grew up logging and saw milling all my life. Once we got our portable mill and started sawing logs from our property it seems every log and every cut is a jaw dropper. I can never pick a favorite, but I have always been in love with hickory. Each log and board has its own character and beauty. We are just south of G'boro NC. Happy sawing!!

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

nice....we're just north of Gboro

Josh, this is an absolutely beautiful piece of live edge lumber, it shouldn't even need stain. It's also very very nice to see you and the Mrs working together again! This is very inspirational to me! My wife and I have been going through some very difficult times, and I haven't been convinced that it's going to work, but this gives me new hope! Thank you brother!

Josh you’ve got the nicest stuff. Wow that’s a nice mill!!

[@WilliamsonRidge]

Nice looking walnut log?

[@bay9876]

Some sawmills incorporate a tiny turner. A well-laid business plan should recover mill expenses over time but the joy of finding that unique piece of wood grain inside a log is like opening a box of chocolates. You never know what you're going to get. Next is a forge to make Stoney Ridge Knives etc with all that handle wood.

[@donaldbower4097]

Hickory, my dad has a dry pice of hickory from our property. He cut it when he bought the property about 25 years ago. It is like a rock. It is super hard.

[@donaldbower4097]

Ok, not hickory, still looks really good

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

yeppers...I don't typically put hickory on the mill..just doesn't make good lumber

[@EthanPDobbins]

​@@StoneyRidgeFarmer What are your reasons to say doesn't it make good lumber? I don't like it for lumber myself only because it's so darn hard to get a nail into. You gotta put it up green or else you're pre drilling every hole. My dad built our porch out of hickory with oak posts and when I built new steps onto it last summer I wouldn't be far from lying if i told you I've driven nails into concrete that was softer. Hammering goes great on the treated pine then you hit that hickory and it bends it over. But the hickory lasts forever as long as it's kept fairly dry. Couldn't ask for a stronger board. But i prefer oak because it's more rot resistant and being more experienced at driving nails now I can actually get a nail in it. Hickory is great for a tool handle though. Buck the logs into usable lengths and get after it with a splitting wedge for the best tool handles. Though when i get a sawmill i plan to just saw out some handle blanks. Ive got more tools to handle than I've got time to split and carve. Goes faster when you start with a clean square blank than with a split out hunk.

Awesome chunk of wood there. Amazing the treasures to be found buried inside of a log.

[@bruceguidosh2120]

Haven't commented lately Josh, but I think it's fantastic that she's back in in your life enjoying the farm as much as you do! Question though! Are you going to build a shed for that mill?! (I know you have used the mill at other locations, but would be nice to have it under cover, just in case you want to mill during during rainy times!)

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

yep...shed coming soon buddy

A saw mill is a great thing to have if you have the lumber. I love to see how excited and happy your wife is, priceless. Adjusting to homesteading lifestyle is not easy for some, glad to see your wife has adjusted because I remember the video of your wife first coming back to the homestead. Homesteading can make or break a relationship as not everything goes according to plan.

yep...one of my editors stopped by and he ran the camera for a few mins...so much better!

[@andrewgraeme8429]

I have had a sawmill (Woodland 130Max with extension) for about six months and if you have access to trees, get a sawmill! Even when the wholesale price of lumber is down to below $400 (1,000 board feet) in the US, that still means that dry/treated lumber wholesale prices are about $1 a foot - and you should see the amount of framing timber and planks you get out of one decent tree! Here in the UK, prices are £3 a meter for 6" planks retail, £2 wholesale, so a sawmill really pays for itself pretty quickly. It also means that you can make those odd sizes like a 16' roof beam that otherwise would cost an arm and a leg!

[@tomrorer5288]

Pretty log, nice lumber!

[@dennisspring5321]

Love it when a new saw miller cuts their first crotch 😂 better find a bank vault to dry those 5 boards in… all bs aside I was the same way when I cut into my first piece of crotch wood… had my wife there and all “look baby I told ya look” great memories keep having fun Josh!
