Southern Oregon Custom Lumber Mill Tour
This is a very cool
Custom sawmill in Southern Oregon that oak, and I had the pleasure of visiting
We loaded up a farm package which is basically
Excess material that they would normally get rid of for 15 bucks what a great deal
Got to see these slabs of Redwood look at this
Is that gorgeous or what?
485 for that slab
You can make a nice banquet table for someone yeah
That's beautiful
That's the other that's where you put it up for her is the beautiful one ideally?
No that is a nice piece, that's gorgeous, and if unfortunately sitting out here to get bleached
The inside is when you flip it this way
That's beautiful is this from California. Um I don't know where this was from we don't have redwood like this in Oregon do we?
where
I'm you get them. I'm Chris from Grants Pass ghost. Yeah, okay, so we don't have a whole lot
But we do get some yeah, so most of our redwood we get around here is yard trees. Oh my god. It's beautiful so
And this is a nice slab yeah now what that one is out of California
WI fires a few years ago, oh really so yeah, I make a nice conference table when they sit down
When I send all that stuff up the mill said no we don't want we don't want that firewood
We don't want any it would just did a fire and they had truck stepped out to the scale Shack
No way can unload here, and this is trigger Punisher
It's beautiful. Yeah, David by the way Jeff nice to meet you Jeff
Yeah
Oh
Regular, just do you like should I bring out the rabbit on it. Just like this. Yep. No bevel this hangs over
So the rabbit makes it a little nice makes it a little nicer. That's beautiful this side is
Shiplap and cedar this side is just
What we called other dog boards for us, they're about 1/2 inch okay, they're just miss boards
You know call them a correction board off the mill. This is at this without the rabbit so without the rabbit
This wasn't the best quality right stuff. We could have made, but it still turned out it looks beautiful
Yeah, it looks beautiful, so it is that cedar that's all seen in there Lex
How you have that rent what I don't know what the?
Live edge. Yeah misalignment, yeah, I'd say I purposely took those boards out so I can do it
That's beautiful a lot of these old barns are made of sugar pine and either pine or yeah
We've got a finer. We just take a
What is that it's just gray wood but its tongue and groove handling yeah, it's just sat out there and turned gray
Yeah, I'm hey. Are you the ex-marine? Yes? Thank you for your service. You're welcome
What a fun place to work
Yes, yeah, yeah, this is cool. I used to work in place like this when I was
15 16 down in California, that's what y'all went there. He's a joker in the summer and
I
Just have to watch the California rules about how much I can work him in that so yeah otherwise it we go
He's got a rest every so often, but this is what Beth was looking at this right here
But this is what they call a pre-stain okay?
Because we're pine pine has a tendency to be blotchy yep, and so it's like a conditioner
So it doesn't be blotchy right okay? Yeah sure it's a wash code Yeah, right yeah?
We're just loading it up one of your farm packages. Oh good. Yeah, all right. Yeah, how long have you been here
Oh, I I would be in heaven here, I know that sounds corny, but I
You know first off
When I found this place I said to myself I've died and going to heaven and then I read it and
Then when I finally worked I said well. No that was purgatory. Haha now. What did you do in the marine?
Well, are you allowed to say no I was a reconnaissance
infantry and then I went into reconnaissance so
Got it did some good stuff. Yeah, good. We appreciate your service. Thank you I
You know it took me a long time to get used to people saying it to me because
In my day and age, they didn't say that they you didn't say that in be that's what you did
I know it'd be like thanking somebody for home for what you did I
Respect that I was raised in a military family, and I firmly believe in saying. Thank you. Yeah, yeah, well
My wife is here right now. She would be saying. Thank you to you as well now
I'm gonna have a hard time getting him out of here now well
