Sawmill Day in Ladoga-Fabulous Wood Chunks!

Articles
Bob Chastain (IWCS guru) has some really special logs he will be cutting into woodturner-type chunks at this year's Sawmill Day (June 6, 2009).

Sawmill Day events will begin at 9:00 in the morning at Bob Chastain's farm west of Ladoga (3904 East State Road 234, Ladoga, IN 47954; Phone: 765-942-2661). There will be a WoodMizer going, turning demos, etc., and a noon meal pitch-in, all for a small registration fee. You can buy wood in the log, buy a whole log, or wait for the afternoon auction to make your bid--you choose. Here are some of the special logs Bob has now, with more coming in. Sawmill Day is a fundraiser for the local 4H students.

Clay Foster Demo Pictures

Clay Foster demonstration pictures have been added to the website Image Galleries. There are two separate galleries, one for each day.
