Review Final Lumber and Dunnage
At 13:06 in
Feedin' Some Hungry Cows and running the sawmill...winter on the farm!
What happens here
After milling the dimensional lumber, the presenter showcases the finished white oak 4x4s and the 1x1 'stickers' (dunnage) that were cut from the initial slabs. These stickers are crucial for proper air circulation when stacking freshly milled lumber for drying. The presenter highlights the beauty of the white oak lumber despite the log's initial 'ugly' appearance. He concludes by mentioning that the sawmill blade is dull and needs replacement, which prevents further milling for the day, but emphasizes the value of utilizing all parts of the log for various farm projects.
Goal: Review the completed milling process and demonstrate the utility of all milled wood products.
