Inspectorwoody class

[sawwood]

 Dustin (inspector) was at Norm & Patty's June 14 to show us
 the finer points of lumber grading. There were 11 of us there
 and we sure learned a lot. I don't see how they grade when
 they see so much lumber in a day. ElectAl stopped by and
 cut an oak log to show us how to open a log to get the best
 grade. Norms WM sure is a super saw and quiet, too. Patty
 and Norm are great hosts and their place is sure cool. I took
 some photos and will insert them below. Those there were
 Carl and his daugher from up north Ia and Steve and Penny
 from Illinois, Jim and Joan from Navada Ia and Dave. Dave
 drives a log truck for a local sawmill. We sure can't leave
 out Dustin, ElectAl and our host Patty and Norm. O and
 me Sawwood. We sure had a great time and i am sure we
 will all be stoping by Norm & Pattys place if we are in the
 area    :P   8)

Great shots, Sawwood. We had fun that day, didn't we!

If anyone else wants to teach a class...Norm & I will be happy to host again, we enjoyed meeting other sawyers and folks with the same interests as us.

 I not sure what type of classes any one would like but for
 me a all day saw class would be great. Not only how to
 open a log like Al showed us but what to do when you find
 a problem. One would be if you see that the next cut will
 have a knot in it, would you turn the log ? Also quarter saw,
 not just where to cut but how to hold thoes pices on the mill.

 I am working to have a mill some day and would like to be
 better informed when i start. Any takers on this idea ?
