Do you have White Pine, or similar? Pine is harder than Cedar, but still
easily milled. I am able to buy scrap boards...2' x various
widths...several hundred boards on a pallet. I stack the pallets in my
honey house, and build supers etc in the winter. Really haven't had much
problem with shrinkage due to moisture.

White Pine...The King...George?...thought it so excellent for masts, that
He sent His scouts over to the Northeast...Maine...to claim the best trees,
branding each with His mark....the arrow.
         Have I got it right?

Mike
