I saw one work and it was pretty impressive.  A friend of mine had some trees cut just to clear his property and even though he had no real use for the wood he had the trees cut into lumber.



I know it doesn't really work that good.

The summer between my junior and senior year in high school I worked with my father cutting timber to build a house.  Instead of getting it kiln dried we just took it back from the sawmill and stacked and stripped it.  Next summer when we started to build over half of the stuff was too twisted and bowed to use.

Really? Maybe that's why every lumber yard in the world does it..  I know..what do THEY know about stacking lumber ?  I live in SC where sawmills are fairly common. I can buy lumber all over from NC to SC and Georgia for cheap. Especially now since lumber prices are way up I might just start visiting some of the local sawmills, but I have no use for one.  I need to find a supplier of eastern red cedar. The stuff might as well be extinct for all intents and purposes in lumber yards..
I just checked prices of yellow pine.. it's more than doubled from this time last year and I live in an area where it grows like weeds..
