I need to get a pic of a couple of my project pullets Getting close to point of lay Wish I could of shown them . They were not old enough and I was too busy to tame them . I have been looking at woodworking tools . I think I will get a router table to set up for making tongue and grove cuts I can then turn my boards into tongue and grove boards . A better fit than plain edged boards . The ideas keep coming . I will need a garden at the lake next year Tomatoes and cucumbers at the very least . I checked out the black locust tree at my chiropractors place . Top was storm damaged years ago Been eyeing that tree for years . Got permission to cut it a couple of years ago . Still have permission . I tried to hug it to check diameter . Only got half way around . Must be about 4 foot straight through . Should make some nice deck boards . I will have to reduce the diameter to make it fit on the sawmill . A little chainsaw work should do the trick .

Good morning.

Jerryse...seems like a router would be a must. How many people, passing by, must have wondered about that man hugging the locust tree.

Yes you are right . Used this method when selecting oak trees to cut . Nothing smaller than fingers touching = 16 inch + logs .

Jerry, the picture of you hugging the tree that I have in my mind is precious. It's a good thing I went to the boys room before reading this. I think I would have wet my pants a tad otherwise.

I don't know much about black locust but if they are anything like honey locust. Good luck! Bring lots of sharp chain.

Jerryse....do you have to go through some type of drying process with this wood prior to use?
