Having local connections is the best. We were able to exchange some eastern red cedar logs with a #local #sawmill. They were able to saw true dimension 6x6 posts, 2x8, 2x6, and 2x4s for our lean-to #project we’ll be starting soon. All he wanted in exchange was log for log. That right there is what #community and social capital is all about!!

Imagine that. A 6x6 that actually measures 6x6 etc. wow look at that grain

Everything I’ve measured so far is actually 3” thick so ended up with 3x stock. This thing is going to be stout.

Nice! 💪

Thats what its all about😊

What does log for log mean? Like he wanted half

He milled 4 logs for me and I gave him 4 logs to keep.

Lit, what was the circumference on those? Or diameter

The minimum was 12” on the smaller side. Most of the ones we brought were 15” up to 22”.

Diameter correct

Yes diameter
