Ken,

Family is much more important than any machine tool ever will be so don't worry about getting it done by a certain time.

Sorry to hear about your grand niece's situation Ken. I hope you and Donna are able to help her out.

What type of wood is that Greg? I don't think I see that stuff over on the east coast of USA. Too straight! Big Grin

Red Pine, no idea how far south it grows. Used a lot for power poles.

A lot of it was planted here, 40 or so years ago, reclaiming old farms. I don't remember there being much of it here when I was a kid but maybe there was. Kind of scary that Im harvesting trees that are younger than me.

I find it scary that I'm harvesting trees that are older than me.
