    Wow...that cypress log is amazing!

    Interestingly, this job site is just up the street from where Professor Dr. SWMBO grew up just on the other side of the beltway. Literally. I know exactly where you mean! I will be sure to put it on my list of places to visit when I'm hanging at "my office" just west of there in Fair Lakes from time to time. It sounds like it's going to be fantastic!

    The most expensive tool is the one you buy "cheaply" and often...

  3. Thanks for sharing!! That was really cool to see the process involved in milling such large timbers.

    It ought to be a very cool place. I'll update this post when I'm going to be in DC at a decent hour; hopefully we can have an SMC get-together at either the restaurant or bar.

    Ruhi, that's them! (along with the posts, joists and decking that we milled for the project).

    David, it opened up last fall. Thus far I'm hearing good reports about the food.

    Scott,

    If I ate there, I would spend all my time looking at the wood and forget to order!

    Wow...never saw this thread until now. A fantastic journey for some fine wood!! Thanks for showing it all to us, Scott, and thanks, David, for the 'final' pics!
    Wood: a fickle medium....

    Did you know SMC is user supported? Please help.

    Very cool. Didja try the "I'm tight with the guy that suplied these timbers" free drink hustle? Just in case the rest of us stop by.........
    When I started woodworking, I didn't know squat. I have progressed in 30 years - now I do know squat.
