It's July, and finally, our reclaimed heartpine is being put to use, as we take a noticeable notch out of the lumber yard inventory. A portable woodmizer is back on the property, this time it's Lumber by Lance in Ft. White (386-497-4817). That's me and Jim Lance in the photo, milling the big beams from Jack's 1910 house on Newnan's Lake. We killed many a sawblade hitting nails I had tried to remove. Part of the joy of working with old wood. Jim milled my reclaimed heartpine into boards a little more than 1" thick, and hauled them to his kiln where they're drying now (and killing the termites). Then they go to Herschel's Woodworks (386-497-1895) to be turned into 3/4" tongue and groove flooring. I can't wait to post you some pictures of the flooring!
