This is a video we made to day at Mulberry Grove in Moab where we are working on converting trees that were taken down to make room for this subdivision into lumber for a house in the subdivision.

This is a picture of a nice pair of 16 penny nails buried in an Elm log!

We bought a bobcat today. it is going to improve our ability to move logs and stone quite a bit. We will be able to get into town more often to pick up logs. It can also run attachments like a log splitter, stump grinder and chipper that we hope to add soon! This one is a little shiny but I am sure we will rough it up! Just kidding, this one is for our nephew and the dirty one is ours!

Sunday Scott restored a marble printing press type-setting table. It is from the Moab Times Independent which started in the 1890's.. so it could be that old. This picture is after it was re-ground but before the new finish. It is now a kitchen island and the tequila and lime juice took its toll!!

Sunday we milled up some more chinese elm. This slab will probably be cutting blocks.

We have just started the firewood side of our business. We saw that most firewood being sold in the valley was expensive $200/ cord and of medium quality (mostly pinon and juniper). This is all wood that has to be cut on the mountain and hauled down so that it has a lot of energy going in to it. We are cutting wood in town and using our waste to provide hardwoods that have 20% more BTU's per cord than pinon. Hardwoods burn cleaner, it takes less energy to get them and you have to burn less by volume to get the same heat.

Dre is inlaying stone into a chinese elm board that was cut in the middle of town. This will be our new sign. The logo is by Ocean. We are also working on spoons and bowls. The stack of wood is all paperbirch destined to become rolling pins. It makes great rolling pins because it has tight grain, no knots and is stable even after it gets wet. The wood came from Chad's house after it died.
