I want one or four of these.

Maybe when/if wood prices come down. If I had pine trees here, I'd have a sawmill but I have oak/hickory. Hickory is good for tool handles and the smoker. Oak is heavy and hard to work with. Got a few cherry trees but none straight enough for making boards.

Oak/Hickory heavy here. Not complaining, have a mill nearby.

Cedar/Spruce are manageable if you ‘drown’ them. Cedar and Spruce can be soaked in water and bent to ones liking.

Oak/hickory can as well. Just takes longer.

Hope that helps.
