lt's kinda like staring into the most beautiful painting in 3D...My gosh outstanding...l think l know why he called it offey...Cause it gets you off and going to work or what ever....Thanks for letting me look into future of the most and bestest history of such wood as that....lt took many moons to make that tree...!
I have too say I do believe this is the best walnut log that you have milled on your show. It is amazingly beautiful and such low sap wood. I like some other tree species but there is nothing like a beautiful American black walnut!
yes it is, I don't think I will ever do better on the mill,
appreciate you watching,
I used to love working with wood, but have never done milling. You do magnificent work. Keep it up.
Just when I think it couldn't get any better
Mr. Nakashima would be proud! Well done!
George Nakashima, a true legend in wood working and furniture design.
Lovely bit of walnut.
Beautiful!
Nathan...The music in your videos is absolutely amazing.
thanks John,
I always enjoy watching your videos. You cut some beautiful wood. I’m also glad you only most of the time cut walnut, oak, and other hardwoods. It is nice to watch someone who enjoys his job. “If you love what you do you never work a day in your lifetime. My body is old and worn out now but if I was young again this is how I would make my money and never work a day. Thanks again for the many hours of enjoyment.
thanks you for watching Jeff,
Because of the pandemic, Nakashima Studios is not offering Saturday afternoon tours right now. When they do reopen, it is on my bucket list for a visit. You would enjoy it Nathan. Mira, George's daughter, runs it, continuing with her own graceful spirit. It's not far-fetched to think that you might be a supplier to the business, but they do have quite an inventory already on hand!
Great to see you featured Jason Lowe one of our talented Australian artist in your video 👍👌 we have very beautiful native hardwood in Australia - that walnut was simply amazing
Yes. Love his music
It never ceases to amaze me of Natures colors
Been a professional wood worker all my life and that has got to be the finest peace of lumber I have seen in 60years. Also love your videos they are so full of informative and interesting content, Mike Morgan is not the only one who thinks that you are the best when it comes to milling. Lol.
appreciate it, Mike isnt too bad either,
Im so glad i found your channel your chhoice of soundtrack and your passion comes out in every video!
thanks Jeff,
Back in my late 20s I helped a good friend clear his new fields which had been planted with really old black wall nuts as a wind break. And this was a 160 acre property with the trees being planted 3 deep all around the perimeter. The first year was spent cutting the trees down. The following year Steve had a saw mill ready to go. Over the next 2 months was spent cutting black walnut and it seemed like we barely put a dent in those piles of stored logs. We ran into many trees that had soul like this log. It was some of the finest that I've ever seen. But here 29" wide that's impressive! Great score on this one.
Such beautiful walnut!
That is just a GLORIOUS tree.
What an amazing log
Nathan thank you for showing me the stunning and awesome inside of a tree that God created. It is breathtakingly beautiful.
Wow, Nathan, when scrape the dust off your slabs it's like dire anticipation waiting to see the figure. I can only imagine how you feel as well waiting for that! Great job man...😎
yes sir, appreciate it Peter,
Watching that timber being worked has made my stay in hospital a hell of lot more bearable, thank you for a quality and well timed video
thanks, get well soon,
@@OutoftheWoods0623 thank you
If there is a more beautiful wood than well figured walnut I have never seen it. Thank you for sharing this beautiful wood with us.
Damn that’s pretty. Thanks for all the great RUclips content. 🇺🇸
thank you for watching,
Thank you for seeing and sharing the soul of the tree! I love your channel. By the way, nice music!
thanks, appreciate you watching,
There must be pure joy in your heart when you see slabs like that Nathan. The furniture that could be made from them must be awe inspiring. All the best Graham 🇬🇧🇬🇧
yes sir, thanks Graham,
Such beauty, your doing great work really like what you do. Thank you so much.
Most beautiful walnut you have sawn so far that’s definitely the soul of the tree beautiful
All I can say Nathan is Unbelievably WOW! Definitely the Soul of this tree. Breathtakingly Beautiful! You must have been jumping up and down when you saw the soul of this tree! Thank You Very Kindly! DaveyJO in Pa.
Hey Nathan, sometimes I go back and watch the 2 videos about this log. It was amazing, one of my favorites. ( Oct. 26,2022 )
George Nakashima was an amazing creator!
Agreed
When I was in 7th grade woods shop I fell in love with walnut and oak. About 40 years later a bearded man from Tennessee on YT has brought that feeling back again. Great stuff my friend👍absolutely love the live edge stuff. I appreciate what you do, please carry on Sir and keep the video's coming 🙏
Hey Rob, good to hear!
I don't have the words... Anything I say would seem so inadequate. Very, very nice.
I understand 😀👍👍
Oh, my gosh! When you threw water on that first slab...it just took my breath away. Exquisite! The two slabs, side by side.... (Words fail me). Best wishes from Kate in Olympia, WA -- 11/26/2019.
thanks Kate!
Thise are some fine looking slabs! Excellent work!
thank you,
Hey Nathan was just reviewing your past videos. On one you had a critter clipped to your summer shirt you reckoned you couldn’t hide anywhere. Now Nathan, we all out here just know of a great place somewhere between your chin and your waist!
wow....what else can be said Nathan but...WOW. whoever gets the chance to work with this lumber is surely blessed. art in nature cannot be compared nor can it be copied. im sure there must be better lumber out there but you would be very hard put to find this log's equal. so beautiful it's almost breathtaking....congrats my friend.
thanks Wesley,
Wow Nathan that Black walnut wow is very very Pretty you done a amazing Job on it.
I’m going to do the patreon because those are questions I have about every video. I haven’t been watching the channel since I came off the road so I’m getting caught up. Definitely want to get started in sawmill work. Got a lotta trees in Saint Louis that are just laying around.
Wow, just wow!
You can make some very nice guitar bodies with dem der slabs. Beautiful.
Would love to see the finished product uses of these slabs!
Absolutely gorgeous slabs! And great book recommendation.
thanks Wes,
Sometimes nature smiles and shows you perfection and all is right as it should be
Be fun and educational to be able to watch that in person!
Amazing tree
Your videos are inspiring. My late Father-in-law was a self taught farmer-woodworker. He, too, appreciated beautifully, unusual grained wood for his projects.
thanks Stephen,
That Walnut is fantastic! Wish you were closer to northwest Arkansas so I could buy a slab and make a desk! You do a great job at the sawmill and making these videos. Thanks.
thank you Mark,
I will never tire of Black Walnut! Gorgeous! Thank you.
me either,
Really beautiful grain and color in the slabs. Your one lucky duck. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
thanks Richard,
Breath taking
Mind Blown !!!!
Nakashima is an influence of mine I was never able to take advantage of due to my chosen profession of dump trucker and all of the crazy hours that can entail. But one of these 9/4 slabs would make a marvelous coffee table in the Nakashima tradition. Think about that while they're drying man, then DO IT!! LOL!! And of course we want pictures when it's done!!
thanks Jim, will do,
Wow. Love Walnut!
Nathan that walnut has everything one looks in one log . Absolutely gorgeous. 😊😊😊😊👍👍👍👍👍
Absolutely beautiful Brother! What a gorgeous slab.
A lot of woodworkers today are producing "live edge" furniture with "bow tie" or "dovetail" inlays/reinforcements have no knowledge of George Nakashima and his work (or philosophy) from the 1960-1970s. His studio is in New Hope PA and is still producing works though as you note he has passed on. (I bet you can tell I am a fan!! LOL)
Greg Taylor did Nakashima do bow ties?
@@briandavis8658 He has several pictures of and notes about them in his book "The Soul of a Tree", though he often refers to them as "butterfly keys" or "butterflies". I have also seen them called "dovetail keys", I believe in an article from the early days of Fine Woodworking (1970's) discussing his work. So yes, but not with the "bow tie" terminology.
That is some amazing walnut. Thanks for showing us
Oh son thats beauty !!
If I afford a slab I'd try to buy just to look at, man thats nice.
Damn, I can hardly think straight, stunning boards, great call on the two 9/4 slabs. That's somebody's table, they are so lucky too!
hopefully mine,
I've been watching your channel for about a year, and these are the most spectacular slabs in my opinion.
This is the best video from you so far! Not only were the slabs amazing, but the memory of George you invoked was touching. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family and may God continue to bless you and yours!
thank you Ron, appreciate you watching,
Breath taking, the wonder of walnut.
Beautiful walnut
The slab is beautiful! Great log and enjoy seeing you be the one to saw it.
Man, that wood is absolutely beautiful. Makes you believe there is a God and that is simply more of his wondrous creation! Very entertaining video!
thanks Red,
By the way, you blessed me and I ordered the book: “the soul of the tree.”
Nice
Nathan you never disappoint. Black Walnut has become my favorite tree. I still have never worked with it but I wait for just the right project for it's beauty.
Absolutely beautiful!
thanks Dave!
That's an amazing piece of wood
I had a Nakashima moment of my own in NYC at Sotheby's. They were selling a favorite painter of mines work, and in the same room was a wonderful slab bench of Nakashima's. Funny I knew it more than the people I asked....who work there and are supposed to know this stuff. Felt really good. Glad to see your video today. Cheers!
Simply gorgeous
thanks Dennis,
Just awesome wood, Nathan! That's all I can think of...every slab, one of a kind.
The most beautiful piece of Walnut I ever saw was the stock on my M14.
Just incredible!!
That tree was full of soul. Great job pulling it out!
thank you,
oh my this one is Christmas and New Years Birthday and the 4th of July all in one.Just dont have the words for this one. Lord knows I'm never without words but this one?Nothing I can think of comes close thanks again. gods creates the best art.
Damn nice tree . Don’t think I’ve ever seen more beautiful slabs.
OTW....Offee’s The Word!
😀👍
Truly Nathan, this is some of the finest Walnut I have ever seen. The wide boards make it very premium. Have a Happy Thansgiving.
i WAS WAS BORN IN 49 AND FROM 57-67 lived in a Chicago Bungalow style house (lots of beautiful woodwork) in the suburbs of Milwaukee Wi, in our oversized yard were 17 trees all over 2 feet in diameter. There were 2 giant black walnut trees in that yard and now 50 years later I know from driving by they are gone...... seeing this video I ache at the thought they were cut down and thrown out or fire wooded......
Walnut is one of my favorite wood. That peace is amazing.
Those boards and slab are beautiful. I so want to make a head and foot board with some of that. I'm sure I cant afford the price tho. That is some awsome figure......
Kris Richardson
That’s exactly what I was thinking 🤔! I’m going to make my own some day
Beautiful
Super Sweet!
I think if I had on of those walnut slabs I wouldn't even cut it up because it is so beautiful I figure them as a piece of art. I think I would just put a finish on it and connect it one of my walls.
Thank you
That really is special wood, with a bit of effort and love, as well as a few coats of oil worked well in, that crotch figure will be a mile deep ❤️thanks again Nathan 👍🏼🏴
thanks John,
I’m visualizing some great gunstock candidates- just beautiful!
Beautiful,
Probably my favorite channel on RUclips. I need to get on Patreon. Good stuff!
thanks Tony, appreciate you watching!
I love that book, I have it too.
yes sir, read it several times,
Excellent video !!!
thanks Joe,
Awsome stuff!
Love ❤️
Love ❤️

I bought 20 acres in Kansas and was telling a buddy about it and he asked If there were any walnut trees so i went out and counted at 2 in the morning and there is 56 on 9 off the acres most all are well over 12 inches in diameter and there's one by the creek that is 34 inches in width. I guess they are worth a little bit of money.most are nice and straight and tall and produced a ton of walnuts this year but not last year.
Amazing slabs!
thanks for watching Daniel!
An amazingly beautiful tree. God is an unparalleled artist.
Treegasm.
