A Day in the Life of BlackLumberjack
Monday, October 10, 1916
The automobile speed limit in Yonkers was raised from 10 to 15 miles an hour after it was ruled that the 10-mile limit conflicted with state law.
Imagine racing down the road at 15 miles per hour in this beauty!

Building a rolling system to roll wood in and out of kiln. Ready to transport rollers to yard.
Working on getting our latest acquisition, a Stetson-Ross Self Centering Re Saw, into our shop.
Metal Base we fabricated with a stone top
It sets beatifully with strength awaiting the top.
Making sure all is well
The lay out
Delivered and installed a 14' Yellow Pine banquette to a beautiful home in Tarrytown.
But to get it in place took a bit of sweat, LOL
Wouldn't fit through the front door so it had to be hoisted up the balcony.
It took our whole crew and then some, to get the banquette indoors.
Banquette in place
Adding the back board
All good
As you all know, we are always on the look out for Walnut. This one is 21'L x 28"W and we retrieved it from Great Neck, NY.
