@@ralphnorman4636 I remember when my mom had a friend helping in the back yard to dig out some bushes (deep, deep root systems) in prep for putting in a parking area.

It is great to see a good woodsman at work, getting the most out of an impossible log. Thank you for sharing this video with us. Educational and informative.
Great video... beautiful log, and you did an outstanding job with it. As a grandfather, it makes me smile to see you involving your son in this.... it's too easy to just tell them to stay out of the way, I'm working.... you are giving him memories to hold and cherish... love it.
True, but I have to say something - when the strap comes off, the boy needs to be away from the sides of the logs, not on the wagon next to them. When he took the first log off and the middle one shifted, it was clear that the one on the right was ready to roll.
"I taught myself how to mill by watching youtube videos." Me Too! I watched you, Nathan, and Mike Morgan, and now I'm having a ball on my own mill and knew a lot of what to do before I got mine. Thanks for the education.
Damn, Wes. That grain is as straight as a die. That quarter round is going to make an awesome mantle. All in all, this is one of your best videos, with some fantastic results. It was wonderful to see the foreman actually doing something to help by unhooking that strap so you could get the logs off the trailer.
Great video as usual. Made me remember that I have a piece of walnut that I have been carting around for over 40 years. I guess that it is cured by now. It has been kept indoors all the time. It is 95x4x11 3/4 inches.
A nice video, and those beautiful lengths of Rare Walnut, what a wonderful mantle piece it will make. I enjoyed watching this video in Australia, and your amazing young son running around helping Dad. Thank You 👍
It is tough to work on something that is unreplaceable. I would have tried to have the customer present while cutting so that he could see for himself. Having this video for him to watch is probably the next best choice. Thank you. Have a great holiday with your family.
Absolutely gorgeous piece of wood!!! I love that you truly try to meet customers expectations!! I absolutely love your setup!!!!! I would love to get something similar someday!!
I've always loved black walnut. I'm still grieving over 4 beautiful antique furniture pieces including a huge armoire, that a woman I worked for had " refinished " witha heavy cream enamel with 3 other colors spattered on that. I burst into tears when I saw it, and she was so amused. She just didn't understand.
Sapwood is tough with black walnut! I live in NY, where there is quite a bit of walnut. Still premium! Sometimes it's tough to explain to a customer that a big, all-heartwood piece is not going to be even close to the log diameter. You did what you could. It sounds like you had a flexible customer, which is the best kind!
I have never seen a Walnut log before. It's gorgeous. Especially after you poured the water on it. The grain is gorgeous. You did awesome. Congrats to you. Thank you for sharing.🙂
Just now found your channel WES: you did a fantastic job on that black walnut!! My Grandad had a small saw mill, had to use his old tractor and a long belt to turn the blade!! I was 4 years old in 1954. The blade was 4 foot tall. Had to sharpen it alot kept hitting bullets in the logs. "Customer brought in from Arkansas & Oklahoma" HE wouldn't let us kids get close enough to watch him cut those logs!! Loved hearing the blade sing after a cut!! I hit the thumb up for ya. And subscribed!! Catch you later.
Your young helper reminds me of my oldest son when he was that age he was always out where i was helping or wanting to help me in whatever i was doing around tge house and today is still a great help when i need him ! Great job with that walnut log ! Great job ! By the way jus subscribed to your channel ! 👍👍
Excellent job. We have lots of Black Walnut in central Kentucky. In northern PA where I grew up dad and I would burn the dead walnut leaners with the oak in the winter. Some of the walnut on our property were 3-4 ft in diameter. The hickory was 12-18”d. Ah, the good ol days.
We had a hay farm outside Rome GA that was covered up with black walnut. My father was a wood turner and he used it to make bowls and other decorative pieces. I have 4 of them at my house in Columbus that are about 20 years old. Our farm in Alex City AL has a few with one being "ancient". We have a giant oak that died this summer about 25 feet from the walnut. I plan to take it down this winter and hope it falls where I want it.
They seem to grow pretty well in North Ga and higher, I have a few on my property but they are small, except for one that's pretty big but in rough shape. Wish they grew better here. Such nice wood.
We get a good bit of black walnut in Northeast Ohio. Everytime i have milled it there is always alot of tension in it. I have had pieces start checking and cracking while I'm milling up the rest of a log....hahah. Great job!
My grandfather made all of the Mission style furniture in his house, tables, chairs, rockers, chests, from black walnut. Each year a supplier came through town and knew to stop by my grandfather's shop first because he would buy all of the black walnut. Those trees are so very slow growing, and messy that most people don't want to wait for the cash crop that the lumber can bring, especially if you have the land to do a staggered planting so there are trees of different ages at all times. If people want a permanent dark brown to black dye, there's nothing better than the husk of black walnuts. You got some absolutely stunning slabs and even the waste pieces will be good for small projects or inlay work on blonde wood projects.
Yesindeedy! Black walnut really stained our hands when picking the. Nuts from those thick husks. We used to put cardboard down in the driveway and, Nuts, then more cardboard and run over them with the car, multiple times2. Then use a big heavy darning needle to pick the Nuts. One Christmas my friend gave me a little baggie of Nuts, an ice cream recipe, and 2 joints, wrapped in red and green papers. That was 40 some years ago and I still remember it. As the best v present I ever got.
Always enjoy your work. I’ve been watching you for quite a while now and you are one of 3 RUclipsrs that inspired me to join the sawyer fraternity. I did think you were getting pretty uppity when you bought the tractor with a grapple. That was until bought one for myself and now recognize you as a hillbilly genius. Keep up the good work
If I had to throw everything away and keep one tool, that grapple would be the one I keep. As you've discovered, they're just amazing. Thanks for watching!
Excellent! I learned something new and interesting. The way you handle those massive logs is impressive. The video quality is top-notch. I'm eagerly anticipating more content from you. Keep up the exceptional work!
Whatever they're paying you to do this, you are worth every dime. It's not common to see someone take the time, thought and effort to make the most out of such a valuable resource.
Great sawing, Wes! Great hook man you've got there! 😉 That blade was going through there easily, it looked like from my end. Beautiful cuts! Beautiful wood! Thanks!
That walnut sure is nice! Nice colors. I hope to get to saw some one day. I’m same as you! Nothing but pine except for one elm tree.Enjoy videos keep them coming!
I hope you charged the guy appropriately for your extremely skilful and considerate cutting to meet their needs. Please invest in safety boots, prevention is always better than cure. Subscribed, really enjoyed watching/listening this video, thank you so much.
The black walnut around here very frequently has shades of purple where the heartwood approaches the sapwood. It does tend to fade as it oxidizes however. This one here seems to be all chocolate brown. Both are nice.
You gotta love the striped contrast between the sapwood and the black walnut!! Made my daughter a rocking doll cradle years ago. Made a curved, slatted top over the head of the cradle, out out 1/2" x 1-1/2" slats. Alternated the slats with sapwood, then solid black walnut pieces, mounted with solid brass oval head screws. The rest was all black walnut dowel fasteners. Sanded it down to 400 sandpaper, then satin Clearwater! Was a very satisfying experience!!
Found this completely by accident, despite being a rapidly-increasing wood addict: really human and love how you said “bell-end” without missing a beat. And yes, I’m British. You rock mano!
To brush off your wood instead of using a board, use a longer car/ truck snow brush. I was watching another cutter using a snow brush and it worked fantastic. Would have never thought it!! Have a great weekend. Cheers!! 😊
Glad to see Junior on your knee when you were shifting those logs. They made into two beautiful mantleshelves. I'd be fascinated to see how heavy logs like that are attached to a wall.
I used to work at a mill. I built a 10x12 shed out of throw away. About half was black walnut. Maple and ash was the rest. 3 years later it now has a metal roof and is my wood shop!
That large piece will need 4-5 years to air dry and will not be straight when dry due to the pith running inside. The smaller wedge will twist too as the sap will shrink lots more than the heart. Might be dry in 3 years. Lots of walnut experience here...
That black walnut, absolutely stunning, not jealous at all...!😉 Anyways the guy has got a bit of woodworking to do to make his mantle piece. Even if you don't own it, it's such a pleasure to have it between your fingers, albeit momentarily.
My uncle lives on the east coast one of the coolest things he ever gave my dad for a gift was a 5' log of black walnut about 7" in diameter! My dad just slabbed it without rolling it some of the most beautiful wood i we ever seen in person 😁👌
New subscriber here and I am really thankful I found your channel! You did a masterful job on making something beautiful out of that gorgeous piece of tree. I know a lot of guys who would see only firewood but you saw the beauty that was inside and managed to get it out. Thank you!
@@alwayscensored6871 I was gonna ask about the off-cuts. Art pieces? Cutting boards? Smoker chips? I don’t woodwork but I hunt and fish and use every part of the animal I cam, both economically and out of respect.
Your craft yields naturally beautiful wood products and your hunger for the angles really shines through. Excellent work. I cannot however get passed a glaring missed opportunity: the waste expelled from your mill should be harvested and pressed into wood-pellet fuel! 🇺🇲
Next to the cedar you have cut I think this Black Walnut is in 2nd place. And it's fun to watch your helper grow. But it's sad because they grow up so fast. Stay Safe good video
New sub... Nicely done. Beautiful grain on three sides. Helluva challenge. Always starts out looking like more usable than there is. Looking forward to checking out your other vids.

Can the blades be resharpened?

Wes, You need to ask him for pictures of the mantles on the wall so we can see the finished product. You did a wonderful job cutting it.
Very few wood species look as beautiful as black walnut. That log you got came out literally perfect. It doesn’t get much better than that.
Looks like you did a great job on that log. Have to give your helper a raise, see how fast he handle that tie-down problem.
A rare case the kid actually helped. Everything my son "helped" with NEEDED redone

I was pretty impressed when he got that tie down off so fast.

"Log stretcher" cracks me up 🤣🤣🤣 Good job 👍👍👍Thank you for sharing. Be safe 🇨🇦
I wonder if they sell those at Harbor Freight. 😂😂

My granddad used let me help build the dog house and his workbench as a kid and now that im 31 I’m finally getting into woodwork myself
True, but I have to say something - when the strap comes off, the boy needs to be away from the sides of the logs, not on the wagon next to them. When he took the first log off and the middle one shifted, it was clear that the one on the right was ready to roll.
As a wood turner, my heart cried when you threw that water across the grain -- all I saw a bowls and plates.
The wood grain in that Walnut is just gorgeous!
"I taught myself how to mill by watching youtube videos." Me Too! I watched you, Nathan, and Mike Morgan, and now I'm having a ball on my own mill and knew a lot of what to do before I got mine. Thanks for the education.

Where you live? The elusive Black Walnut grows like weeds where I live. Squirrel's bury the nuts all over my yard and sprout them everywhere
@@dirtydancer8 Outside Cody, Wy.
Loved seeing your little boy helping and how awesome he was at unhooking that strap all on his own !
Great job explaining this work. Glad the customer understood the deal.
Nice looking black walnut. Great milling, FLR. They are going to be some excellent mantel pieces. Beautiful wood. Full-watch. 👍🏽🤠 1/7/23

Very cool project. I can’t believe the stress in that trunk on the first cut. Gorgeous piece of wood.
It's great to be able to watch this. We miss you Wes but I understand that you have to follow where the spirit leads you.
You did a great job on that log. I love Black Walnut. That grain pattern is just beautiful.
Amazing video!! Absolutely love the way it all turned out. Both mantles are exceptional. Well done !
So pretty! I love watching these sawmills work. This walnut was amazing.
Beautiful. Black walnut has such a distinctive look.
Absolutely gorgeous piece of wood!!! I love that you truly try to meet customers expectations!! I absolutely love your setup!!!!! I would love to get something similar someday!!
I never knew there were so many decisions to make in “slicing” up lumber! A lot of thought goes into every cut!
That grain is exquisite. No wonder it's so expensive. What a treat to be able to work with it.
I've always loved black walnut.

Oh, there it went."
Made tgis 60 year old man smile.

With a couple of good ropes you can at least make sure it won't fall where you don't want it.
Great Video! Beautiful wood! So thoughtful about the customer and wood - great planning leads to great successes!
That’s some beautiful black walnut. It’s great looking wood. Thanks for sharing.
You did a great job of maximizing that log from the customers request.

Black gold! Walnut is my favorite species and although that log was ugly as sin, you exposed the beauty and gained confidence in the process.
You made a great video and you very good on that mill
When I was younger I done wood work for hobby my walnut products always sold easily
Thanks 👍
As a Carpenter,,,That was a great looking mantle piece,,, I would love to have some of that
That's some beautiful lumber he should be very happy with it good job cutting it!👌👍
Love sawing black walnut but it can be tricky though I must say Wes you did excellent job for what you had. That will make some beautiful woodwork.

Black Walnut is my favorite hardwood. This was an amazing video.
Well done. Not often those of us in Georgia get the chance to do the “water on black walnut” shot! Looks great.
I love the smell of the black walnut. one of my favorite aromas.
It reminded me of oak.
Really great cut to see the awe some grain in that log !!! You keep talking, that adds to your video.
Nice milling ! Very beautiful Black Walnut wood 🪵 👌 !! Look forward to the Pine milling ......
Stunning. Would have made incredible wall panels given it's extreme vertical figure and the sap wood contrast. Art.
Beautiful work! I love watching your videos. Merry Christmas
Kind of silly to hide such beautiful grain against the wall table top is so amazing..great cut sir GOD BLESS you, much love from Mandeville Louisiana
I hope you charged the guy appropriately for your extremely skilful and considerate cutting to meet their needs. Please invest in safety boots, prevention is always better than cure. Subscribed, really enjoyed watching/listening this video, thank you so much.
Excellent demonstration of a sound process to get to the desired result. Well done. Merry Christmas.
The black walnut around here very frequently has shades of purple where the heartwood approaches the sapwood. It does tend to fade as it oxidizes however. This one here seems to be all chocolate brown. Both are nice.
You gotta love the striped contrast between the sapwood and the black walnut!! Made my daughter a rocking doll cradle years ago. Made a curved, slatted top over the head of the cradle, out out 1/2" x 1-1/2" slats. Alternated the slats with sapwood, then solid black walnut pieces, mounted with solid brass oval head screws. The rest was all black walnut dowel fasteners. Sanded it down to 400 sandpaper, then satin Clearwater! Was a very satisfying experience!!
"And my log stretcher is still in the shop." :)
Ha. Great line.

To brush off your wood instead of using a board, use a longer car/ truck snow brush. I was watching another cutter using a snow brush and it worked fantastic. Would have never thought it!! Have a great weekend. Cheers!! 😊
Some of the most gorgeous walnut I've ever seen.
Great job sir! You went above and beyond 👏
Great job -- getting a good usable product out of that absolutely beautiful wood is an art!
that was two very beautiful pieces of wood for mantles. Great job. have a great day, and thanks for the video.
Thanks for watching, Charles.
