We had a particularly bad winter storm this past January. The storm started very windy and ended with ice. We lost power for 4 days and we had a tree fall on our house. Luckily the tree that fell in our house did not do very much damage as it just tipped over and touched the side of the roof. And luckily we had all of the branches trimmed off the next day which saved us from the tree being weighed down by the ice storm and crushing our house. I was able to mill up the tree into larger slabs. It is just pine but I'm sure I can find some projects to do with it. Later, through a neighbor, I found out about a large oak tree that had come down nearby. I milled up this red oak and was able to get a lot of turning blanks and small slabs out of it.
