In the summer of 2014, I saw a man was having Pine trees taken down from his garden and I asked if I could buy some. He said not but would gladly deliver them for free!
Too good for firewood I decided to use a chainsaw-mill to make boards and air-dry in the yard.
Two years later, I was able to use the 25 and 20mm boards and create a whole garage wall of cabinets, after working out the lengths & widths available from various trees.
I've never built anything like this from entirely virgin timber before and even though some boatds twisted from drying, I'm rather pleased with the results.
