  • Milling Lumber

    June 11th, 2009

    Since we had so many trees taken down we decided to have some lumber milled from some of the larger trees.   We had a portable bandsaw mill come from the day.  Lebco custom milling kindly did the job for us.  They worked real hard and cut us 2 or 3 decks worth of cedar planks and a variety of fir boards.

    In addition to all this great dimensional lumber.  I have been able to pull quite a few beautiful pieces of wood out of the slag pile left behind by the milling.  These would be great for furniture, tabletops, signs etc.

    Besides a drift of sawdust there is a large pile of slag from the milling process,  But I was able to pull out 2X3s, 1X2s and lots of other sizes of boards from the waste pile.   There are still some gems in there.
