This ain't art, but it's been keeping me busy and I'm finding the process of cutting Pine on my property to be enormously satisfying so I thought I'd share a few snapshots.
I'm working with an experienced woodsman and learning something every day. Right now he cuts and I twitch the logs out of the woods and pile them up for the portable sawmill that will come later. The numbers on the ends of the logs are estimates of board footage contained in the log. Right now, there's about 2,000 board feet piled up and when we get to around 4k, we'll call the sawyer. By the time we're done, we're hoping to have a total of about 30,000 to 40,000 board feet cut and sawn. Oh yeah, and I sleep really well at night!
