This HUGE Ponderosa Pine LOG Giving Us Board and Batten For Our Barn Build - Woodlands Mills Sawmill

In this video, Greg does a little Spring clean up with Erik - there's a burn pile, they cut down a few trees, Greg falls (see if you catch it) and he mills a huge ponderosa pine log that took forever on the sawmill...Greg thinks, maybe 7 hours! This includes the edging and the clean up of the log, but that's A LOT of time on ONE log. It did produce a lot of board and batten, but, wow. Have you ever spent that much time on one log?

Did you know we are building a barn out of wood that we are milling on our own sawmill?! If you haven't followed along with our BARN Build, make sure to check out that series in our playlists. We finished the slab last summer and are on a pause while we mill all of the lumber needed for the barn build. We have A LOT of milling in our future.

Here is the video where we share our barn plans. Our plans are from ‪@BarnGeek‬ We are excited to build one of his beautiful barns!

***We are also so excited to have completed our sawmill cover enclosure (sawmill shed). Definitely check out our Sawmill Playlist to watch it all happen. We have shared the process of building our sawmill cover from the very beginning. We have a Woodland Mills HM130 Max sawmill and we live in North Idaho. The sawmill cover / sawmill shed is vital to continue milling for our barn build in the winter months, but it will also be a great way to keep out of the sun during the summer months, and of course all of the rain, in between!

Here is a link to the video that shares the sawmill cover / sawmill shed build from start to finish:

   • Sawmill Cover Build - Start To Finish...
