A pretty meh kind of weekend.....

[Vikestand]

Finally got around to using the Alaskian Sawmill. Pretty fun, and hopefully will have a few new mantels in the house. Unfortunately made a costly mistake when I was trying to put the glass back on my door, after replacing the rope.

Hell no! It was a lot of work with modern tools like that.

That tree was a 100+ year old Mulberry tree. It used to have two other sections that split at ground level. One fell when I was about 10 years old. Then the other half of this one came down about 4 years ago. This one cam down a year ago. It was my favorite tree. Killed a lot of squirrels out of it as a kid and even now as an adult.

I used pieces from it to make a few turkey pot calls. Going to make mantels out of these and maybe a kitchen island if I get around to it lol

I bought the glass from a woodstove provider. Should be here today, just in time to get it in before the cold front fires through.
