Measure and Cut Lumber

What happens here

Place the rough-sawn white oak lumber onto saw horses. Use a measuring tape and speed square to mark the desired lengths for the raised bed sides. The beds are 4 feet wide by 8 feet long. Use a chainsaw to cut the lumber according to the markings. The creator notes that older oak can be checked (cracked), and efforts are made to cut around these imperfections. Some pine boards are also cut.

Goal: Prepare lumber pieces for raised bed assembly
