Spent the day making an upgrade for the upcoming deer season.

From storm damaged trees to a hunting blind that will last decades.

1 1/2" thick white oak flooring secured to white oak 6x6s, burned to slow rot and discourage insects.

Lots of poplar 2x4s and 1" thick lumber.

Salvaged windows, roofing, and a lot of screws.

This is alot easier with power equipment and a friend, definitely a 2 person build.

If you are looking to do something similar green lumber right off the mill is cut per order to spec. $2.75 a board foot.

Every now and then I am contacted by a customer to build an item new to me. Its always a fun journey building something different. I just finished up this tortilla press. Made of hard maple and red oak it was put together with dowel rods and a piano hinge. Although I am not a big emanates fan I would definitely enjoy one that started its journey at my saw mill.

We built homes for the largest birds in the area so I figured we should offer ones for the smallest. These houses will be used by wrens and chickadees. This one is unique because it hangs instead of needing to be mounted to a tree post or building. Solid locally sourced oak. With its small size it will fit anywhere. At just $25 these would make a great purchase for any bird lover.
