"This is the biggest log I've ever had on here," said Hazen. "It's a little ambitious maybe," said Joanis. The family had mostly tall, old pines and hemlocks cut to protect their house and were milling the last few scraps from the job. After hitting several spots too wide for the saw, they moved on to finish the more manageable pieces. “We know when to give up,” said Joanis. (Valley News - James M. Patterson) Copyright Valley News.
