Sawmill secondary processing firewood and kindling
I mean really, how much work can it be making firewood kindling? Grab a few boards and an axe, chop it up and done. Well that’s the condensed summary version.

Spring saw milling
We had a fairly mild winter so far as snow depth is concerned. Nowhere near the brutal amount that northern New Brunswick got. The lack of snow though has meant that with the cold air, the frost has gone deep into the ground. Which is ok if you are walking and driving machines over the ground but eventually the frost has to leave and it ill make for a soppy, wet mess to deal with. This year’s to do list will involve a lot of water course management.

Making the most of what comes along
A neighbour is clearing a recently acquired lake side lot. These logs were all destined for the burn pile. I could not let that happen 🙂 So in a trade for helping clean up the brush, I got to take these logs to the work yard. They are 8 and 10ft lengths. Most likely will all be made into 2×4’s.

Kiln Building: The Floor
After spraying the foam insulation, next up on the kiln was putting in a wood floor. Oh, we are getting so close to finishing. We started with coating the floor joists with a roofing tar to seal up all remaining cracks.

Milling Sticks for the Kiln Lady
We were contacted by a lady, Teresa, who lives not far from us, for 1 x 1 inch or smaller sticks of wood. She also specified they be no longer than 22 inches. She has an outdoor pottery kiln and those are her requirements. She asked for us to cut up about a cord of wood to start. People…That’s a lot of milling!!
