Another great video, thank you for sharing it with us. Two years later!
No idea why, but as an old white guy in the UK like me, who's never been nearer to a sawmill than my local DIY store that has a simple setup in the backyard, I find OTW uploads to be pure Zen. It's a mixture of Nathan's 'off the cuff' commentaries, the asides about his cats and chickens, the views around Tennessee and the whole process, knowledge and experience of being a sawyer.
Immensely watchable.
And don't leave out an exceptional collection of eclectic bluegrass for the highly enjoyable soundtrack. I actually bought a portable JBL speaker just for my woodland walks to listen to him!
@@jackstrubbe7608 Agreed. Nathan doesn't always list the artist/music which is a shame. An American may well know most of them. Even though I've loved American folk music ever since I first heard it way back in about the late 1950's, very early 60's, the archive and range of recordings is so vast that I've barely scratched a groove in the history.
Cheers from Cheshire, UK.
Dave Whipple sent me! So thankful he did.
Nathan certainly is a true back country cut up
Nice teaser on this species can't wait to see more
Many years ago, I picked up a Paulownia (billed as a Chinese Sapphire Dragon) tree in a one gallon bucket at the garden section of my local Home Depot. For a small tree, it had HUGE leaves, and I was stopped and asked about it several times on the way to the checkout. I was looking for a fast-growing shade tree, and it really fit the bill.
The instructions with the tree said to cut it off just above the ground if it didn’t reach at least 6 feet in the first year of growth (otherwise it would never grow much taller). Come winter, it was only chest-high, so I closed my eyes, lopped it off, and prayed. Come spring, that tree took off like a rocket! It grew at least 10’ that second year and cast as much shade as I was hoping to get in 3-4 years. It put out long straight branches that grew parallel to the ground and then turned up at the ends to finish with flower stalks covered in blue flowers. It became the showpiece of our yard.
did it have a hollow tube throughout ?
Paulonia (empress tree) is an extraordinary specimen. I used to design gardens with intent to harvest fruit and nuts, and eventually timber, and always included one if there was room. And, the COLOR when in bloom! Like little else.
In Maryland there are areas where it really does grow invasively. It's beautiful but those huge leaves and quick growth to relatively high ends up blocking out light to other plants and trees plus those cool flower/seeds spread like crazy so it outcompetes some native species. But it's a really cool tree and the wood is nice.
I have been selling Japanese antiques for over 20 years. Kiri or Paulownia is a treasured wood in Japan for casework of all sorts. The wood is very light when dried and aged. It acts as a natural desiccant keeping everything it holds dry., keeping kimono from mold and swords from rusting. It is also naturally fire resistant. They are fast growing and trees were often planted when a daughter was born and the tree was harvested and made into a wedding chest when she came of age. Boxes made of Kiri can remain airtight/watertight even over 100 years. It is an amazing sustainable wood.
My husband and I enjoy watching you on tv. Thank you educating us on all the wood and rye work you do.
Thanks for watching!
I had some Paulownia lumber. One story I got on it was that the father of a daughter would plant a tree when she was born and nurture the tree. When she married he would make a keepsake box for her wedding kimono out of the tree. Another story was that the Japanese used the seeds (tiny and fluffy and millions of them) to pack china dishes in crates for shipping. The seeds would sift out and scatter themselves up and down the railroad tracks where they would spring up.
Thanks for the birthday present. It's beautiful
Hello Nathan. My name is Joe. I've been a big fan of Mr. Richard Knox and his channel Smokey Mountain Outpost since he was just starting out. In his most recent video, he gave you a huge shout out and suggested his viewers check you out, so... here I am and you sir have a new subscriber! I love the vibe on your channel already and look forward to learning lots about wood and milling with that amazing saw mill you have. Rich wasn't kidding! That's a serious saw you have there! I'm glad to be here.
thanks for stopping by, appreciate it
all of us out here in the RUclips world, appreciate all your efforts.Great Show!
Thanks for watching
Good morning ,let’s getting milling, RB, Nova Scotia.
Nathan, I really enjoy your videos. As a musician, I really appreciate the music that you use. Very cool string music. I bet you're a fan of Jerry Douglas.
I am a connoisseur of hats, and your new hat may not be stylish, but it is an excellent hat for a You Tuber. It does not block your face or throw a heavy shadow over your eyes like a baseball cap. I have one in the same style, and I have covered it with decorative pins.
The hat gives you the “Red Green” look! 😁
First to see that type of wood too Nathan. I Ordered My LT 70 a couple of weeks ago long time coming in running a LT15 and now a 40 super it’s a project mill for my Brother
In Japan, pawlonia is the traditional wood for wedding chests and other heirloom furniture because it does not shrink with age. The furniture can last for 200 years without falling apart. A guitar-maker friend of mine used pawlonia he got from Pennsylvania to make guitar bodies with a lot of success, as well.
Nice hat... used to have something like that. Might get me another one.
You should!
Any new wood or different wood is always cool to watch. Pretty interesting character to that slab. Can't wait to see the rest.
Absolutely gorgeous!!
Burn baby burn 🔥!!! Great video Nathan.
LOVE my boonie hat! Lightweight, gives some all round shade and keeps the black flies occupied with something other than my head and ears! Beauty log Nathan 👍🏼
That hat is looking great on you! I really like the grain of that wood. That would make some nice furniture and tables!
a boonie hat, excellent
As a hobbyist wood turner, I always watch with wonder as you cut the branches or wide ends of these logs. They'd make great material for bowl blanks, but I'm guessing they end up in your burn pile... if I lived closer, I'd try to convince you to let me take them. That wood had some beautiful grain!
hat looks great. wood looks amazing.
Wow! Love that wood!
You are quite an accomplished sawyer. I really appreciate the way you explain the procedures and the care you take in your trade. Love watching your show. A plus is the scenery, who doesn't like the Tennessee countryside.
Yes, the hat makes you look dashing.
this is the new "standard" for guitars.
Can't wait to see what the rest of it looks like ! Love the hat and your videos ! Watching from St Thomas Ontario Canada ! 🇨🇦
Can't wait to see the rest of the log!!
I've learned so much about sawmills, different types of trees, and woodworking in general. Thank you! I love watching your cats and your handsome son. My husband and i appreciate you letting us live vicariously through you. We hope to meet you one day when you come to Georgia.
Thanks for watching
Good looking wood Nathan.
Nice hat. Nice slab so far too.
Always enjoyable and relaxing
My wife learned the best way to get the chickens in our chicken house. She buys dried meal worms at Tractor Supply. They love them. She throws some meal worms on the floor of the chicken house and chickens all come running. Works every time.
Great tip!
Good looking wood. Nice hat, I think you need two of them.
Hello, It was interesting watching you saw the Paulownia log... I'm a wood turner in Monroe county and several years back I got a whole Paulownia tree from my neighbor. Fort Loudon Electric cut the tree for him because it was growing under their power line... in spring it's a pretty tree with long heart shaped leaves and a string of lavender flowers.
I've turned many bowls from the logs I have and they are received very well at the local farmers market where I exhibit in summer. I did notice that you log did not have the hollow running where the pith would normally be as all of my logs did.
The wood is very light weight and turns very easily, but no matter how sharp my bowl gouges, it takes a lot of sanding to make the bowls smooth.
I've heard that it is considered to be a very fast growing tree and is actually being grown in Australia for timber... this is from the Paulowinia society that contacted me when I had some bowls listed on ETSY. Also according to the society, it's called the Princess tree because a Chinese father will plant a Paulownia when a daughter is born, then by the time she is of marriageable age, he can build her hope chest. The forestry service does consider this to be an invasive species. I understand that birds spread the seeds.
I do enjoy your RUclips channel and watch it often... I don't subscribe nor do I participate in the Pateron project... being on SS it's an expense I have to avoid.

That is a very beautiful log. Never heard of the tree type but it sure is some stunning wood.
I want one of those hats!
Nice grain, good music.
Nice piece of wood also like the hat!
Love that hat!
Love the hat 🎩
Wow Nathan that log would make an awesome countertop.
Great videos
I once grew a small plantation of these Pawlonia trees as they were advertised as a 15 year to maturity tree. They are Chinese I think, had huge leaves which my cattle loved and they grew like weeds. I could see the growth almost daily. I used them as veneer trees as the had a barrel straight trunk to good height. Very light weight when dried. Great grains.
Was just reading into them, How far north can they tolerate the cold?
@@feelingold2995 I dont know but I am in NW Tasmania where it gets very cold.
Morning! Smoky mountain outpost sent us. Loving the milling videos 👍🏻
Thanks buddy
You've got some nice toys around the place.
Hand-feed some special treats like fresh fruit and veggies to your chickens, and they'll soon learn to come running when you call them. The sight of chickens running toward you is really cute, too.
Cheers Nathan, loved the video, chickens are frightened of beards,
Pretty nice stuff
Thanks!
Hey Nathan I like your hat it goes well with your beard
There's a couple of plantations of Paulownia here (down under). It's used a lot in Asian guitar factories for electric guitar bodies, as its quite light, stable and relatively strong when dried. Apparently also very good for wooden surf boards, surf skis, boats etc.
Love the hat!!
Beautiful wood yaeh it breaks my heart when burn the burn pile
its a great hat Nathan!
I looked up that tree...very pretty, and a nuisance (evidently! A bit like my cotoneasters, brought by the birds, but a source of nourishment for migrating cedar waxwings!)---Your new hat brings out the blue of your eyes! Surprisingly!
Thanks for sharing with us Nathan, that was some pretty wood you milled from the Asian Tree. Stay safe around there and keep having fun. Fred.
Very smart hat.
Those hats are great, especially when it's hot out. Just dunk them in a bucket of water, wring them out and it'll keep you nice and cool.
Hint on the chickens: get yourself a length of 3/4-in white PVC pipe. When you're trying to wrangle the chickens swing it in an arc over your head towards the direction you want them to run in. Chickens have a natural reaction to run from overhead threats, like hawks. If they see a fast moving shadow on the ground or something fast over their heads they will instinctively run for cover.
The hat looks good!
Love the hat.
I'll bring some brisket and ribs over to make sure that hickory doesn't go to waste
I like the Hat. Enjoy seeing that stunning wood. Thanks.
You need a Corgi. They are great at putting your chickens back in their run. The herding instinct is natural to them and they will catch on very fast.
Hat looks good on you.
Nice log. Like the hat.
Wow, really pretty wood there!
I'd love to get those branches you cut off for some projects.
I remember turning a shaving brush and bowl set from that. Pretty nice wood.
This wood would make some beautiful bowls
smoke mountain outpost got your pallets bring them to you,really promoting your channel. keep up the great job Nathan
Thanks appreciate it
Wow Nathan, that is some beautiful wood. Agree with you about being Christmas in June, just fabulous find in the long grass!! Take care dear friend. Graham 🇬🇧🇬🇧👍👍
Hard, if not impossible, to find Paulownia for sale in the Pacific NW. That's why I asked earlier if you're going to sell any.
Yes sir. I will be
Beautiful grain on that log.
Thanks for watching
Outstanding hat.
I think the video quality is noticeably better! I really enjoy your channel!
Keep the hat. Looks good on you!,
Paulownia trees are very fast growing trees and in southeast Georgia around 2000 people started planting them for a cash crop. I think the idea was that they would reach a harvest size for pulp wood by then. The ones I saw did reach a height of about 30 feet and diameter of 8-10 inches. The ones that I saw on the way to work every morning were then cut and the owner cleared the stumps. I think hardwood was so cheap then it almost didn't pay to cut it. Have not seen one since, but they were very pretty, shady trees and had very large leaves.
Thank you for sharing
Thanks for watching
Thanks Nathan another good show.
What I have read this tree was planted when the family had a daughter, and when she got married the tree would be cut for lumber and furniture for her and would become part of her dowry. Hence the name Princess tree. Looks like a damn nice hard wood to me would very much like to find some of that..My best for you and yours. Jim
That tree has beautiful purple blooms that smell great but it produces seed that are very sticky and and spread everywhere.
good looking wood
I came over from Smokey Mountain Outpost's channel.
Nice setup you got there.
Thanks buddy appreciate it
The hat looks good
Hat looks good nathan
That's some pretty wood there. Not one ave ever heard over or come across before. On the chicken front, wait till you have to try get them back into the run at night they decide to run but you've one running one way others running other way it's a nightmare 🏴👍
I can confirm the use of this wood for the production of quality charcoal to make very hot (fast, powerful) black powder. I used it for several years. I am sure there are many fire workers in your area that would love to get your scraps.
When I had chickens, they ran from the site of a broom. Simple corn broom on a stick waving in the air and they ran the other way. Nothing like herding chickens !
Greetings from Seattle Washington.
Lookin’ good! 👍🏻🎩
When we logged, it was always set aside to be shipped overseas. The Dutch used it to carve wooden shoes!
I hope it doesn't clog his blade...
@@gpetheri I see what you did there. 😁
our wooden shoues are made of poplar! and nothing else
😂😂😂
I live in middle Tennessee and their was a Paulownia log buyer near me. They export the logs to Holland to be used to make wooden shoes.
Richard from the Smokey Mountain Outpost send me. Greetings
Nice looking lumber
Nathan Love. That’s a lovely hung off wood. I bet all the people that threw them into landfill are kicking themselves right now????? Fast growing with great patterns in it. Cracking piece of timber. 😅🤷♀️🙏💖🇬🇧
The only other saw mill RUclips videos I watch besides yours Nathan is one from Japan. Its called SASADA YOSIHIRO . They cut all kinds of exotic logs . You should check them out.
looking forward to following you as recommended by Smoky Mountain Outpost 😀
Thanks for watching 👍👍👍👍
Fast growing. Can be coppiced if I remember right. Furniture makers should learn to love it
I'll also add that if you see this tree alive, it's hard to tell the leaves from a catalpa, but instead of having beans it has what looks like upside down acorns and in the spring the tree is covered in purple flowers, which is quite an amazing site
Very true.
If it’s fast growing, how does it’s root system behave? Are it’s roots invasive as the tree seeks water, do you know? Thanks!
In the spring you can see Royal Paulonia trees growing wild in the woods from I-64 on Afton Mountain west of Charlottesville VA. Their light purple blooms are easy to spot if you know what you are looking for.
