A new client of mine was telling me about her son-in-law who has been
in the process of rebuilding an old sawmill, not far from where my
parents used to live. I had noticed the activity there, with the log
buildings being worked on and workers all over the place.
As pure coincidence would have it, I ran into one of the partners on
this project when I was buying myself a new SAK (Swiss Army Knife...he
was all out of Swiss Navy Knives).
He told me that they have well over 50,000 BF of miscellaneous wooden
beams from old barns and salvaged 200-year old maple and other logs
from the depths of Georgian Bay.
They will be using modern technology in terms of drying the lumber and
fancy metal detectors before sawing the stuff "with substantial, new
equipment"
Some of the stuff will be cut into veneers.
This is right in my area, and I am chomping at the bit to get my nose
in there.

Solid surface fabrication is doing well for me... but wood is in my
blood.
I even had a dream that I bought some exotic hand plane which produced
a curl that floated to the ceiling.

I need help!
