Thanks Mike. Hope you’re feeling better!!! Yes, it’s really a great tool
for the homestead. My husband got up here too late in the fall for us to
really get to put it to the test…rest assured as soon as the Spring
brings us a thaw we’ll be finishing up a few projects with it. To be able
to make all our post & beams will really be great!!

More than likely yes. We’re new at this and learning as we go. At present
the lumber has been used for outside buildings, however we used two pieces
for the stairs inside the basement and as of yet there hasn’t been any
problems with it. This summer we will attempt to build a solar kiln dryer
and storage area. That should be interesting. Thanks for watching.

That is just great. Could you tell me if you anticipate any serious
shrinkage or splitting due to it being undried green wood?
