Here is the results from yesterday. The lumber was wet and the sawdust had to be removed with a wire brush, some of it had already molded. I should have had the stickers made but did not do it took the day to get it from trailer to being stacked. I still have the mantle piece to place and weight down. Shown are some samples of what the grain looks like on the lot.

I havent been able to work on it much due dealing with father/hospice/holidays etc. Decided to build a safe/tornado room in it also, I have put up 7000lbs of steel so far on that and still have more to go.
Played with some of that oak I have drying. Was messing around and jointed /planed a runner used to stack the wood and made a block. it's about 9x14 x 2 1/2 and weighs 13lbs.

Man, I am jealous...you're building an amazing home I'm going to have to show this to my wife. We're in the midst of looking for acreage to build on in 6-8 years, once the kids are graduated and off to college and we can downsize. I want a shop attached to the house to work in. I'll be following your progress
