How we like to end the day. A mostly empty truck. A long day but some good time spent with my wife and daughter. I was able to meet up with 2 out of 3 customers, which is about par for the course on these deals. Fortunately one customers ended up buying a bunch of the white oak I brought for the fella that couldn't make it. Also check out @elizabeth_vanderliet and her oil pantings! I got some great encouragement to keep telling the story of my business and my wood! #sawmill #sawmillbusiness #Oregon #glideoregon #roseburgoregon #umpquavalley #bendoregon #centralOregon #pnw #southernoregonsawmill #southernoregonmaker #southernoregon  #oregonsawmill #oregonwoodworker #pnwwoodworker #oregonwoodworking #pnwwoodworking #pnwmaker #Oregonmaker #oregonmade #dougfir #oregonwood #oregonmade #southernoregonmade #madeinoregon #nwwood #pnwwoods #liveedge #rustic #salvage #sustainable (at Central Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7-IT93g8_F/?igshid=1002xaxer0xni

Loaded down with firewood for Sarah's uncle, and a collection of slabs for customers. Whirlwind trip to Bend tomorrow! If the customer's won't come to me, I will go to them! #sawmill #sawmillbusiness #Oregon #glideoregon #roseburgoregon #umpquavalley #eugene #grantspass #bendoregon  #pnw #southernoregonsawmill #southernoregonmaker #southernoregon  #oregonsawmill #oregonwoodworker #pnwwoodworker #oregonwoodworking #pnwwoodworking #pnwmaker #Oregonmaker #oregonmade #oregonwood #oregonmade #southernoregonmade #madeinoregon #nwwood #pnwwoods #liveedge #rustic #salvage #sustainable (at Glide, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/B77fDjFAtTz/?igshid=d5tbaty8z9gm

One bright spot from yesterday. 50-1"x4"x14'. My shop smells like a hope chest. #sawmill #sawmillbusiness #Oregon #glideoregon #roseburgoregon #umpquavalley #eugene #grantspass  #pnw #southernoregonsawmill #southernoregonmaker #southernoregon  #oregonsawmill #oregonwoodworker #pnwwoodworker #oregonwoodworking #pnwwoodworking #pnwmaker #Oregonmaker #oregonmade #cedar #oregonwood #oregonmade #southernoregonmade #madeinoregon #nwwood #pnwwoods #rustic #salvage #sustainable (at Triple T Milling) https://www.instagram.com/p/B76QDZUgiZ0/?igshid=t967aa95xjug

Well, it was one of those days you like to have behind you. Wrong cuts, cracked wood, mis-communication, and not getting everything done. We persevere though! As a businesses owner, I get to releish the success, but I also have to own my mistakes and carry on. #sawmill #sawmillbusiness #Oregon #glideoregon #roseburgoregon #umpquavalley #eugene #grantspass  #pnw #southernoregonsawmill #southernoregonmaker #southernoregon  #oregonsawmill #oregonwoodworker #pnwwoodworker #oregonwoodworking #pnwwoodworking #pnwmaker #Oregonmaker #oregonmade #oregonhardwood #oregonwood #oregonmade #southernoregonmade #madeinoregon #nwwood #pnwwoods #liveedge #rustic #salvage #sustainable (at Triple T Milling) https://www.instagram.com/p/B74-ZbNgUQ4/?igshid=nd02xpq7o842

Its another typical winter day in western Oregon. Time to fire up the woodstove, put the coffee on, and get to milling. #sawmill #sawmillbusiness #Oregon #glideoregon #roseburgoregon #umpquavalley #eugene #grantspass  #pnw #southernoregonsawmill #southernoregonmaker #southernoregon  #oregonsawmill #oregonwoodworker #pnwwoodworker #oregonwoodworking #pnwwoodworking #pnwmaker #Oregonmaker #oregonmade #oregonwood #oregonmade #southernoregonmade #madeinoregon #nwwood #pnwwoods #liveedge #rustic #salvage #sustainable (at Triple T Milling) https://www.instagram.com/p/B73uPh0gW9d/?igshid=bdzrghxizjzg

I picked up a few black oak slabs from the fella I am helping sell slabs. Some nice pieces but again, stored outside uncovered so they are pretty wet and heavy. @wagnermeters was saying between 30-32%. #sawmill #sawmillbusiness #Oregon #glideoregon #roseburgoregon #umpquavalley #eugene #grantspass  #pnw #southernoregonsawmill #southernoregonmaker #southernoregon  #oregonsawmill #oregonwoodworker #pnwwoodworker #oregonwoodworking #pnwwoodworking #pnwmaker #Oregonmaker #oregonmade #oregonhardwood #oregonwood #oregonmade #southernoregonmade #madeinoregon #nwwood #pnwwoods #liveedge #rustic #salvage #sustainable (at Glide, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/B72Ck33A_tY/?igshid=ff3slk920yyt

Big shout out to @danssawmillandwoodworks out in Tenmile. He has the sharpening machine from Timber King. Dan has done a couple sets of blades for me and has done good work. #sawmill #sawmillbusiness #Oregon #glideoregon #roseburgoregon #umpquavalley #eugene #grantspass  #pnw #southernoregonsawmill #southernoregonmaker #southernoregon  #oregonsawmill #oregonwoodworker #pnwwoodworker #oregonwoodworking #pnwwoodworking #pnwmaker #Oregonmaker #oregonmade #oregonwood #oregonmade #southernoregonmade #madeinoregon #nwwood #pnwwoods #rustic #salvage #sustainable https://www.instagram.com/p/B71gXgdApwp/?igshid=1hum3fom783w3

I am reflecting on a couple good weeks sales.wise this morning at @mycoffeeroseburg, and some good potential for the next couple. In order for everything to work though is going to require some good logistical planning. I try also not to get excited about the big sales. I have found that they are the hardest to reel in and finalize. Someone gets sick, someone backs out, or folks just drop off the map. Probably of all the contacts I get, probably only about a third end up in a sale. Of anything over a few hundred bucks, even less. I try not to get discouraged and just keep forging ahead! #Mycoffeeroseburg #pnwcoffeeshop #Oregon #glideoregon #roseburgoregon #umpquavalley #eugene #grantspass  #pnw #southernoregonsawmill #southernoregonmaker #southernoregon  #oregonsawmill #oregonwoodworker #pnwwoodworker #oregonwoodworking #pnwwoodworking #pnwmaker #Oregonmaker #oregonmade #dougfir #oregonwood #oregonmade #southernoregonmade #madeinoregon #nwwood #pnwwoods #liveedge #rustic #salvage #sustainable (at My Coffee, Roseburg, OR) https://www.instagram.com/p/B706op_AsiX/?igshid=72idfxy23j97
