Yard Crew -- New York

Lucas and Jesse are dedicated guys who are responsible for ensuring that all the wood that enters our yard is sorted and inventoried, and when it enters the mill is free of metal. To do this, they use an array of different tools (some that have been custom fabricated) along with some serious elbow grease and determination. Because they work outside the shop, free of all the mill noise, there is ample opportunity for conversations that run deep. This exchange of ideas and the shared experience of working outdoors in upstate NY's ever-changing (often inhospitable) climate has created a camaraderie among this team that is unmatched in our mills.
