Freshly Milled

Our friend Bill has a wonderful machine that mills trees. I want one.  It saws through the tree like a blade through cheese - it's so cool.  

In no time at all (okay, I didn't have to haul the logs into the truck, drive them over, and haul them out) and for the paltry sum of lunch and a couple of bottles of wine, some large fallen logs from our property have been turned into amazing pieces of wood - perfect for making a mantle, or whatever else our imagine can think of.   I think the style is referred to as 'live edge'.  

Now, they just have to sit and dry for about 6 months, and then they will be ready to use.  Finished house, here we come!
