The Black Walnut Trip: Log blog--Part 5 of 5

NOTE:  This is a five part blog and due to the nature of blogs, it would make more sense if you move down to watch Log Blog--Part 1 of 5 , then move up to 2 and so on.  That way it is chronological in the order that it happened instead of the reverse!

Rich is using a cant hook to position the log on the sawmill.  The logs will be sawn into slabs of 1 and 1/4 inches and the center will be cut into a 4 inch slab of lumber. 

This is the log that was in the back of the truck.  Does it look familiar?

Observe the beauty of the grain of the black walnut board.  

 Rich removes one of the newly sawn boards from the mill.  It has a unique pattern. It will be fun planning the future of these beautiful board.
