Lumbercycle Learns to use the Lucas Mill

Today the Lumbercycle crew learned to use our brand new Lucas mill! We were trained by Chris Plattis who has years of experience operating his own Lucas mill. We milled a very large blue gum eucalyptus tree that was iconic in the Encinitas community here in San Diego. Some of the material cut this day was given to the city to use as posts for signs in their parks! Blue gum is crazy hard and can be pretty difficult to work with, but it's still worth using and we've found tons of ways to utilize it from benches to posts, art and slabs. Stay tuned for more videos!
Lumbercycle is a 501c3 nonprofit sawmill who's mission is to divert as much woody biomass as possible from landfills and chippers and use that material in community enrichment programs. For more information visit our website: www.lumbercycle.org
