12/1/10: At Beauchamp's Lumber

[ida may]

Gordon and David Gladden and Frank Antes go to Beauchamp's Lumber near Pocomoke, MD to have a taper and an angle cut on a long, thick piece of oak wood.  This piece of oak will become the Ida May's stem piece.  Mr. Scot Beauchamp owns a hydraulic saw, known as the "Wood Mizer," and he really knows how to handle it.  We saved ourselves a lot of work by coming to Beauchamp's to get our stem cut.  He operates out of an old chicken house.
