Knock on Hemlock

Meet Dave.



This is where Dave works, and has been working for a long time.



He, like many Vermont saw mills, is only busy in the summer, hasn't raised his prices in ten years, and worries deeply about future of his profession.

We just spent two hours chatting in Hardwick where he and his son operate Dave's Saw Mill.



Despite a tight budget he donated the two largest, single pieces of wood. They are eight inches square on the ends and sixteen feet long. If we can find no other lumber donations, it would be great to buy the rest of out material from DSM. He's been keeping it local before you were born.
