Jack's Sawmill

Picked up a load of lumber today at Jack's Sawmill.  We got walnut, cherry, maple, ash, white oak, red oak, maple, yellow pine, and sassafras.  All of it is kiln dried and rough cut so we have a lot of planing and cutting to do!

Jack has always been real good to us. If you are in the Raleigh, North Carolina area and need some rough cut lumber, you should give him a try.  Send me an email and I will send you some directions. 

When we first started buying from Jack, he was a one man operation with one sawmill and a small shelter.  He now has 4 sawmills on the property, each under a shelter, and a large shelter for wood that has been milled.  He has 4 full time employees and several part timers.  Go Jack Go!

He has always helped me pick out wood that was just right for the task at hand and his prices are the best in the area.  We drive about 1.5 hours, one way, to get to his mill and it is worth it every time.

While we were in Raleigh, we stopped off at the Klingspor store for some dust collection fittings and sanding belts.  Our sanding belts needed to be replaced and we have been very happy with the belts they offer and the price.  We also purchased some of their premium yellow sandpaper and I am anxious to try it out.  We have been using the stearate coated paper and have been very pleased with it.  Cuts great and lasts far longer than most other paper we have tried.  The new Norton 3X sandpaper comes close.

Check out Lucy Hardware soon as we will be adding some new items this weekend, as soon as I get through beating up the young folks on the disc golf course!
