Bob was inspired to use his LT10 to build this 'Old World' barn after visiting his grandfather's home in Norway. There he saw buildings constructed by his great grandfather in the 1880's. The LT10 gave him the ability to return to Minnesota and recreate his family heritage in construction. Bob wrote this about his project; "I felt that we produced something that will last not only because of the solid wood construction but because its unique character will be worth preserving. When we purchased the LT10 sawmill, we planned to saw only specialty lumber for small projects... We soon learned that our Wood-Mizer has the capability to go well beyond our initial expectations. For this project the three of us produced 6,000 board feet of boards and timbers in a little over 60 hours spread over 5 weekends."
