Here is some hardwood floor I made in a house I built for myself. I milled the wood on my mill, air dried it for 2 years and helped a friend machine it for me into 4" wide flooring. Stairs are Burr oak (white oak) some other pics are elm and ash.

I absolutely love how it turned out!!

The other half of

I have all kinds of slabs currently air drying, available for purchase if you’re interested. Some are ready to go now, but most are still too freshly cut.

Some only milled in December and January this year but see what you think.

I like to let it air dry because it is not so harsh on the wood, like kiln drying can be - though it is a lot quicker.

The last picture is a project I built with board and batten in Spruce and Poplar that I milled on my mill. Turned out pretty good I would say.

Now that the heat of summer is gone, it's back to finish boiling and bottling the concentrated sap that has been frozen since the spring.

I boil raw sap outside on a barrel stove evapourator into a concentrate and keep it in the freezer. Then as I need it to use or to sell, I finish it inside and bottle it.

This year was a good, busy sap year so I ended up having 9 pails of concentrate and I just finished bottling the 4th of those into finished syrup.

Syrup is now on display and for sale at the pharmacy in Lorette for this week.

$12 per bottle. You can also message me and I will sell directly if you're interested.

I will also be at the Christmas market at the high school in Lorette in December with this syrup and a few other hand crafted goodies.

Sorry to my international friends but I can't ship out of Canada.

The trees are starting to bud, and with that comes the end of sap collection. We've had LOTS of sap this year and are still in the process of refining it into syrup. This is our Chief of Operations, Jacob, who is pulling down the last of our collection buckets from a local land owner's property🙂

Our first round of boiling happens over a wood fire, this adds the cooked flavor that some describe as smoky. Look at the water evaporate off of our Vermont Evaporator Co. pan!

We have finally finished our first round of sap refining! The first step of the process is to filter the sap with the help of a reverse osmosis unit, this removes half of the water in the sap to reduce boiling time and is the 2023 addition to the operation🙂. We will continue to refine the sap into maple syrup in the next few weeks, stay tuned for updates for when the syrup is ready for purchase!

Up until this year I was just selling direct through Facebook and word of mouth to friends.

This year I started selling my syrup at a few small craft markets around Lorette.

I also have a small seasonal display at New Leaf Garden Center in Winkler and at Flueriste XO Flowers & Gifts in Iles des Chenes.

Check out these two fantastic local businesses!
