    I can only shake my head at some of the values you guys come up with. I live in a desert and I don't think sagebrush qualifies for wood. I did come across a good deal last year on oak. I picked up 360 BF for $350.00. I got 6'-7' lengths from 2" to 1' in widths all in 4/4's. I wasn't able to do much with it last year, but I will be putting in new kitchen cabinets for my wife this year. I keep my eyes open hoping and looking for a small amount of cherry, birch or walnut.

    OK Al it's official,
    I want you to adopt me! That's one serious rig you've put together with your converted trailer, ramps and your band saw mill. Sheer envy here and looks like you are set to be able to really handle logs. When I had to have 2 serious Oak trees removed in my back yard the only firms I could find here in the Atlanta metro area both charged for and claimed the wood. It was all going to become firewood I'm sure, the way they chopped it up. That hurt me both ways because I hated to see the lumber go away and I had no way to process it myself.
    Enjoy your set up Sir and thanks for showing us (envy, envy). Awaiting the adoption paperwork.
    Fair winds,

    I buy my mesquite from a local sawyer and the bulk of the rest of my wood I get from Woodworker's source

    I have a local store so I pay a bit less but when I lived in San Angelo I used their shipped method and was very satisfied

    I buy MDF from Home Depot. I'm so ashamed.

    These are the slabs from last years saw fest Hard maple. I have red oak to do now, never thought that I would find the trees that I have.
    The little ones are American cherry, just got 2 more 18"x 6' of ash, can't wait for the weather to change so I can start to cut then up.
