Wood Milling Coming to an End
We resume Wednesday June 3rd, 8 am to noon along with Thursday at 8 am to noon. Friday at 8 am we will load the milled wood to be stored in Curtis's barn. If you have a truck and or are able to help move material the help will be greatly appreciated.
We have a lot of scrap wood that could be turned into cutting boards, serving spoons, benches, table tops and firewood. If you are handy and can make things to sell at the festival or be used for the new hall please let me know.
We also have a lot of sawdust if you or someone you know can use it.
Here are two pictures of the trim boards that have been cut along with the red cedar.
How to find the entrance to our 29 Acres near SE Adams.
There is no entrance off of SE Adams. The entrance is east of the intersection of SE 40th St and SE Quincy St. There is a water tower north of the gated entrance to the land.
