What is this fool smiling about?

For those that don't know, I spend a lot of down time slapping on the banjo. I'm excited about the new setup I did this weekend, with a heavier Remo mylar head, heavier stings and a Stockwell Moon bridge, it sounds a lot plunkier now than the original Deering set-up, which sounded a bit too tinny to me.
I'm in love, I can't put this thing down!

I am in love with these solar kilns!
Built in April 2025 I've gotten to run several cycles through them. One that was brought to me late last year was a load of ooooold pine logs that were totally infested with wood boring insects.
I was asked to mill and dry them anyway, and the solar kiln did a fantastic job of killing off these critters and sterilizing the lumber. As you can see, they had enough time to have a hatch cycle, but once the heat got to above 140 degrees F I don't think these buggers ever stood a chance!

If you have lumber that you'd like dried or sterilized, let me know! I'm happy to get your lumber into rotation for the kilns and make sure none of these bastards can get into your shop or your home!

Incredibly fun morning of milling maple with Mark down in my old stomping grounds of North Chatham County!

Worst game of Pick Up Sticks ever... But if anybody needs garden stakes for your unruly tomatos, shoot us a message! White oak garden stakes for days 😳

Don't nail fencing directly to trees! It's bad for the tree and it really pi**es off your local neighborhood Sawyer!!!

Building season is in full swing. If you're a contractor or remodeler in Durham or the Triangle and you've been thinking about sourcing local lumber for a project, this is a good time to have that conversation.

I can cut to the dimensions you actually need, not just what's on the shelf. Framing lumber, rough sawn, live edge, concrete forms, mantles, just ask! Turnaround depends on volume and what I've got in the yard, so the earlier in a project you reach out, the better.

I'm one person. You'll talk to me directly, and I'll tell you what I can and can't do.

I get calls from people looking for slabs for countertops, feature walls, and statement pieces, and I'm glad for it. This is where some of the most interesting wood I mill ends up. Every slab I have came from a tree that was already coming down somewhere in central NC. No two are alike and that's the point.

If you're working on a project that calls for something specific, reach out early. It takes well over a year to dry thicker slabs even using the kiln to finish them off. Most of the time if you're looking for a slab, you are at the mercy of what was cut years ago. Otherwise, I hope you have a lot of patience!

I have a rotating inventory of walnut, oak, cherry, hickory, and whatever else surprises me, so if you're looking for something now, send me a message.
