As well as doing the millwork on the fixed shelf pieces - they will have pocket screws for stability.
Jim has used every scrap of maple to glue together for shelves until we can get down to Ghent to the lumberyard. He estimated that he has bought 250 board feet of maple - this is what he has left! He uses just about every scrap he can - hates to waste.
A coat of polyurethane on shelf pieces...
Then in the afternoon, we headed back outside to clean up from all the work we did. Jim brought the chipper out and set it up by our pile of branches...
Cutting up some branches from another nearby tree that had fallen...
Then we started working on all the logs Jim cut from the trunk of the tree - loading them into the bucket...
We set up an area to stack the logs, making a base of the smaller ones first...
Back for another load - these are huge!
That's quite a bucketful!
After stacking that, it was back to pick up the last load...
This is the stump left of the tree that fell over - lots of woodpecker damage here too...
Unloading the last of the logs...
This branch kept getting in Jim's way, so once he was done he stood on the pile and cut it off (don't try that at home kids!)
Cleaning up the chipper - it worked fabulously again!
Jim did a little more lawn cutting at the end of the day.
