Make Your Own Lumber

This last summer while I was trying to burn loads of wood for bio-char for the garden they issued a no burn notice for the entire state as a result of Covid (WuFlu). I planted the garden instead and am finishing the carbon burns this year. That gave me time to learn how to make lumber with a chain saw. I also learned how to make bowls spoons etc. Those were mostly made out of a Cherry tree that was making idle threats towards my truck. I'll be doing more of that as time passes though. The items I made of Cherry are named ‘The Covid Collection’. If you were wondering.

Here is a video about how to do this without a guide. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z1ezI2Tamo8
