Subject: Re: Looking for Replacement Logs for Our Log Cabin

When we needed logs to build the schooner Denis Sullivan, we connected with the Milwaukee Forestry Dept. and they saved some trees they were cutting down anyhow for us. I would think the City of Oak Creek would have some kind of tree-trimming/cutting department as part of city maintenance.

Might be a place to get some logs or at least some ideas of who to go to. I would also think Old World Wisconsin has had to replace logs and knows a source.
