I'm an economist nearing the end of my academic career. I've been working in wood, metal and glass, as well as oil painting, most of my life, so I am looking forward to being able to do it more or less full time. My latest project, which is almost complete, is a king bed made of Periba rosa. I am also about to launch into a major diversion of producing raw lumber from urban trees that are being taken down for one reason or another. I recently purchased a Stihl 441 with a 30" bar and an Alaskan mill. It worked great on a 40 year old southern pine that was downed in my neighborhood (yielded about 200 BF of raw lumber now drying on my carport). I will shortly be traveling north to my father-in-law's place where 3 trees recently came down -- 2 old growth hickories and a 70 year old chestnut oak. Given their trunk sizes, I should net somewhere between 400 and 500 BF out of those. I just hope I get my rip chains delivered by the time I leave!
