Shelby Stanga: New York Boys | 12

A group of sawmill operators from New York came down to Shelby Stanga's property to process logs from a place he calls Shell Hole. What came out of those logs was unexpected, and what Shelby had to say about it was even better. Along the way, Shelby tells stories only he could tell, including the time he found a diamond deep in the swamp. Then the milling starts, the wood reveals itself, and the results speak for themselves. Interested in ordering wood from Shelby?
