Description: Want to know more about how logs are converted into the lumber that you’ll use in your shop? Join us on Thursday, December 9th at 12:30 p.m. CT as we talk to Dwayne Evans who has been operating a sawmill for 20 years. Dwayne will show us how he reads logs and determines how to best cut them, talks about different styles of sawmills and how to stack lumber for air drying. Bring your questions about sawmills, how logs are cut and how wood gets dried. Dwayne has been woodworking for over 35 years and lives in Lancaster County, PA where he has been milling his own lumber for 20 years and operating a commercial sawmill business for 8 years. In addition to cutting for his customers, Dwayne cuts and air dries most of the lumber he uses in his own shop. In a typical year Dwayne cuts approximately 25,000 board feet of lumber. He definitely knows his way around logs, sawmills and drying lumber. Follow Dwayne on Instagram @slabstitcher and @woodenlaser. Dwayne also owns Slab Stitcher (slabstitcher.com), a company that produces an inlay system that can be used to stitch up cracks in your projects or add amazing decorative details.
