Audio rack step one...

Shelves are going to be zebrawood. I found a 17.5 inch wide by 5/4 by 88 inch long slab. It's spendy but it is absolutely gorgeous. I will be picking it up on the way home from work tomorrow.

I do a lot of rough framing with 8/4" x 16/4" lumber (well, 6/4" x 14/4", but who's counting?)

As far as portable mills go - we had a large windstorm that knocked down 3 of my black walnut trees and several monster spruce trees in my yard.  A buddy came in with his Wood Miser Portable Mill and knocked them up into lumber pretty darn fast.  With some other logs I had brought in, I think we did about 3500 board feet.   The mill seemed really easy to operate and accommodated
the variations in logs easily.  That was about 10 years ago and he's still running that mill. 

The Lucas Mill has a good reputation also but I don't have any first hand knowledge of it.

I would do a portable mill in a heartbeat. Unfortunately, we already have a car and 2 bikes wedged into our 1 car townhouse garage.  laughingdp

If I could get my buddy interested in turning this into a weekend gig, I would do it in a heartbeat and he has 2 garages and a shed that are nearly empty.

Warren, you have any of that lumber left? I love Wisconsin and haven't been up that way since the last time we met up in Elkhart Lake. So I would be happy to come help you make use of some of it. Wink

Come on up.  I have a fair amount of black walnut, some white oak, butternut and some cherry.
