The Journey from Tree to Furniture

As you can see Paul is in his prime with his 4ft chain saw as we took down this nearly 100 yr old oak tree last year. It was so tall that we wiped out part of the neighbors fence. It stood where the new house stands today so unfortunately it had to come down. Rather than make mulch, a portable sawyer milled this tree and many many others for us and Paul. This tree eventually became the fireplace mantel, dining room columns, and eating area beams and columns you can see below. (plus a large pile of lumber in front of Paul's shop). All part of the fun of building a new house.
