NH, the odd thing about the Machias area is I don't see any old frames sawn via circular saw. I think they switched right to the large band. By the time they switched most building was going to balloon framing. I haven't had the time to check into it in any detail. I have commented on the high number of tidal mills along the coast, there is evidence of them on many coastal streams right at the tide line. They moved them as the timber was depleted. Have you seen the Stump to Ship video? Tim
