On-site milling of trees for building projects
Living on seven acres with about 5 forested, we were able to harvest about 10 large fir trees from a very overgrown part of the land. The onsite milling provided about 7,500 board feet of lumber for ongoing projects around the land. Although the trailer mounted bandsaw was fossil fuel driven, it prevented reliance on the energy and transport intensive lumber industry and its often dubious clear cutting practices. So far we’ve built a passive solar office, chicken coop, 2 fire wood sheds with enough left over for a barn. Craig Stowell Have Blue Consulting and Design
