Where does most of our wood to work with come from? We look! Being in the bush is a pass time and we keep our eyes peeled for the unusual - and pack it home to dry!

Mel saws a lot of trees on his sawmill to have wood for boxes, live edge, and other creations.

It may be a bit before we can get off the few winter deer trails and really start exploring.
