A look back at our BARBASHELA restoration...One thing we miss is living 30 minutes away from Wilson Lumber, a sawmill that 1) dealt mainly in cypress and 2) sold to the public. We found some great lumber there. And when the employees found out what we were working on, they crawled all through the stacks of lumber to find the clearest pieces that they had, unstacking dozens of boards at times. They also took us over to another shed where they had the "special boards" such as the 12 inch by 24 foot long board that we turned into the port garboard.
