Our homestead is on small acreage that has some nice trees. Others here have suffered from lightening strikes, wind storms, and other hazards. So I saw an opportunity to log some timber for lumber. I cut and then dragged the logs to the shop where I cut them with chain saw to manageable lengths. I then split the larger logs in half. I then put them on my table saw and made some very nice usable lumber.
I made a pair of Adirondack Chairs from a nice Ozark Red Cedar log. I also have had some nice Oak and Elm wood that came from dead trees that were victims of natures hazards.
This has been an on-going repurposing project providing me with some very nice and extremely valuable lumber. Here are a few of my projects.
