Wood

Gary has been busy pulling logs out of the woods and cutting them on the sawmill.

These boards are from locust trees. We have a large stand of locust. They grow quickly and we use them in many ways: firewood, fence posts and lumber for building. The color of the wood is a little yellower than most trees.

The near-daily hard frost collects on the bark of the slab wood. We will cut these slabs and use them for firewood. Locust is a hard wood and makes a nice warm fire!

Murphy and Big Tom wait patiently for the camera to be pointed at them. They are always ready to have their picture taken.
