Hello all,
This is my first post in quite some time. I have unfortunately been caring for sick and aging family members this year and have not had too much extra time to keep up with my woodworking. However, as this year winds down I hope I will have a more productive 2015. To start the year my brother and I will be renovating and adding on to a new home for my parents that is closer to me and my siblings, and will better accommodate their needs moving forward. To make room for the addition three trees must come down: one ash, one sugar maple, and one silver maple. I believe the smallest of these trees to be about 20" at waist height and one may be as large as 28" in diameter, enough for a few (or more) dream workbenches. I'd really hate to see them go to waste. Is anyone local to me with a bandsaw mill that would like to mill them up in exchange for some lumber? I don't know what would be fair, but 1/2 and 1/2 would be a good starting point. I would be more than happy to help come milling day. I should note, I will not have access to any heavy equipment or a tractor to load and unload the logs. The trees will be felled this Thursday (December 11th). If I have any interest in the next few days, I will just have them section the trucks and I will seal the ends to buy us some time. If there is no interest, we will probably have most of it hauled away.
Thanks,
Andrew Nemeth
