Friend of my sister operates a tree service at the very tip of Michigan's lower peninsula. Well, I asked him a week or so ago if he ever comes across any maple, to save some for me and bring it down state next time he visits.
Well, he sure out did himself. The other night he came back with ~180 bf of maple cut to ~ 5/4" x 10" x 9'. Turns out he had two maples that needed to come down and a close friend with a portable saw mill.
Total cost of 180bf = $40
Currently, it is all stacked in my dry basement, drying.
I think I am going to finally make a real work bench with a maple top.
