First time running the saw mill...AND I SCREWED UP!

What happens here

The presenter concludes the milling session, showcasing the freshly cut lumber. He points out the different types of wood milled (white oak, red oak, ash) and the dimensions (5-quarter, or 1.25 inches thick, by 6, 8, 10, or 12 inches wide). He also highlights that no waste occurs, as smaller pieces are chipped or used for firewood. He demonstrates cleaning the new board with water to reveal the grain, emphasizing the beauty of the wood.
