I needed some stakes and to heck with buying PT stakes, I just decided to make some out of white oak!
I just love the way I can use my pallet forks to pick through a pile of logs, prying out the one that I want (that's always on the bottom!) and grapple it to get it out,
I sawed off 5-1/2' and moved it to the BSM,
and started milling out 1-1/2" thick slabs, that I turned up on edge to start taking stakes off,
When I got down to 6 inches, I quit because I had a pretty good pile of stakes, (of different thickness')
I'll put the 2x's on stickers, I may want some 2x6's later to resaw for, "who knows what"?
