Sawdust Chronicles Challenge 2010 Part 5 (Milling Lumber)

Of all the tasks that you must do as a wood worker, milling lumber has got to be one of my favorites.  I enjoy taking a rough cut piece of wood, and watching the grain beneath reveal itself, as you joint and plane to wood.  Today, I got to spend an  hour or so milling the cherry for the game table I will be making.  I fhave been working with Sapelle so long, that I have forgotten how good some woods smell.

Anyway, things went smoothly today, and I for one am glad I took the time to tough up my jointer knives before starting.  I think next time, I will need to do the same for the planer.
