There’s two reasons why we do it. 1 is because we like to see what we dealing with. Also making sure if it’s rotten. And secondly the most important of them all is because if you leave the sawdust on the cant. While cutting, the sawdust will start to clunk up on the bed of the mill. And make your cuts inaccurate. Pine, oak, walnut & sweet gum is really bad of doing it. Cedar or poplar logs tend to be pretty clear and no need to clear the sawdust.

Sure does. They hard to come by.

Sure can man! Thanks for watching 👍🏼

Thank you

Yea. Bearded lumber seems like they know what they’re doing and good people. But sweetgum ain’t to bad to saw. Majority of it got sold to a man that lives in Texas and he drove all the way from there to North Carolina to pick it up. Will say. Whatever you do with sweetgum is when you saw it make sure to scrape the sawdust off. We’ve learn when stacking it if you leave it out in the rain, or a very humidity in just a couple of days. It will stick together like glue and be a pain to pull them apart. All the sweetgum you see we sawed was 4/4 and the thickness stayed the same. And the with stay majority the same surprisingly! Probably only a few boards shrink a 15/16 of an inch

@@firewaterfarmsawmill thanks

Love cutting cedar. Smells amazing

We’re located in small town name Peachland North Carolina. Got about 200 boards of cedar that are 1x6x8’s. In stock, if you’re really interested in buying wood. And it’s not too bad of a drive for you. Hit us up on our email. Firewaterfarmsawmill@gmail.com for more information. Thank you.

@@firewaterfarmsawmill Oh Yea. I'm sure you know where Cherry Point is. I just looked , it's a 4 and a half hour trip. May have to take a day off. Make a trip of it with the wife and 4 dogs. Can't be gone 8+ hours. I'll be in touch. Thanks guys.

No problem, I’m here at the sawmill for Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday Wednesday and Sunday i do my second job. So any of them 4 days in the week would work best. Again, thanks for the comment and checking us out. We appreciate it down here at the farm.

thank you! hope you enjoyed the video.

go for it 👍🏼& thank you

Thank you!

Everyday 👍🏼

with pine, most the time it will shrink 1/4 of an inch. so with the 1x7's we cut it came out to be 6 3/4. and the 1x8's came out to be 7 3/4. and with the thickness of it. it surprisingly didn't shrink to bad at all. we cut it up into true 1 inch and it shrunk down to 7/8.

@@firewaterfarmsawmill good info!

thank you

haha, feels like I need to change the channel name to just cedar mill. lol

Days like what today was. You need to take lots of break and drink a crap load of water. And it’s funny that you were logging up some white oak. Down here at the farm we’ve recently got in 4 to 5 truck loads of some white oak. Beautiful for quarter sawing. Let’s hope tomorrow won’t be as bad as today. Y’all Stay safe logging

@@firewaterfarmsawmill yeah I didn’t prepare enough so it was my fault mainly. I’ll look out for the videos of that! Stay safe out there.

Hopefully to sell it all. It’s just cut off ends we’ve accumulated in the past couple of years.

Thank you, and boy ole boy. Can’t get enough of it.

Sure did. Thank you

Thank you

Thank ya 👍🏼

Haha yea. Cherry is still a beautiful species. I think no matter what. Cherry will always be my favorite

Ha😂. I can see it

Thank you, I always tell myself when I make them videos. I need to do better. But I appreciate it.

Thanks 🙏

Thanks

Thanks 👍🏼

We love it too

No need with cedar

@@firewaterfarmsawmill makes sense, do you worry about uneven drying and warping since they're not getting equal exposure to air? Looks like you have some of them strapped down that's a good idea. I was thinking of getting metal strapping and see how that works vs rocks I was using. I have a love hate relationship with cedar haha. I hate how you think you got a nice log but it's full of inclusions and ants been eating the pith out. I find it's best to use all tge waste foe kindling and try to cut more posts then boards. And I hate the cedar fever symptoms you can get from it, have to mask up when cutting it. Other then that its pretty and rot resistant, nice and light to handle, lighter then fresh pine vs the back breaking oak I'm usually cutting without a tractor

I've had wood for 6 months non-stickered all the 1 in slabs where it'd be best to have a edger. I just pulled them out today. no mold Aunt. I'm finally edging them without a problem. lots of factors though

mine was hemlock

Eastern Red Cedar

Thank you. I love some cedar too👍🏼

Haha yea, can’t stand them sometimes. You take all that time and hard work to saw it. Not knowing what you’ll Get. It’s like flipping a coin

Cutting walnut makes my sinuses act up really bad. But overall it’s beautiful to saw into 👌🏽

Thank you

The blade broke and went into the wood that far after it broke looks like

I think it’s cedar
