Getting into the swing of things


So in December, it was determined by mutual consensus by neighbors, friends, and family that the woodpile was getting out of control. We swapped out the slabber and reinstalled the swing blade. "Some folks like to call it a swing blade, but I like to call it a Kaiser blade". haha Just kidding. The Lucas Mill is an ingenious device. It loads into a pickup and unfolds like some giant mechanical spider over the largest logs and widdles them down into dimensional lumber. So, like noisy little elves, we fired up the mill and cut something like 20,000 board feet in 5 days in between surfing monstrous shore break and trying to relax. Below are a couple of photos of the fruits of our labor and we now have a large assortment of clear and utility grade Cypress ranging in dimension from 1X4 to 1X6, 2X4, 2X6, 4X4, 4X6, and 6X6 and up to 14 feet long. Soon to be partnered with our latest addition, the Logosol planner molder. We will be offering a variety of materials in T and G. Including cypress, robusta, and ohia in paneling and other moulding patterns.
