Cut and dimensioned enough 2x12s for eight more long langs. One of these boxes will be a Cypress hive. I am a bit excited because I have never worked with cypress before. After planing one of the pieces down I was admiring the pattern. The plan is for all the exterior wood to be cypress so it will be interesting to see how this comes out.
Not to take away anything from the other 7 hives, most are orders for pine flat and gabled hives and might sneak in another cedar hive or two.
I finished assembling the boxes today but still have to route out the frame rests and bottoms. That part is not a lot of fun but I plug in the headphones and get it done and wipe off all the sawdust when I an done. 🙂
Finished painting a cottonwood hive that has been sitting in a corner since last year. Also painted the long lang queen castle and got the metal for it today. Pictures are soon to come for both of these….and yes, I got paint INSIDE the lid….grab the sander….
