From what I can safely assess in your video... based on the species composition and general contour of the land - combined with the southern deflection in your dialect... I am going to throw out an educated guess that your are geographically situated somewhere in either in north Georgia, north Alabama, or most likely Somewhere in Tennessee. How'd I do? Post Script... I have 23 years experience cruising timber professionally across a diverse commercial platform. After two decades in the business, it seems to me that somewhere around 98 percent of the general public have no idea it is even a job. That always puzzled me... as their very world revolves around the production of all the various wood products... any thoughts to that end?
Where i live, you would never see a cedar tree on a dry hill like that. Ours always grow in wet areas. Of coarse, ours are eastern white cedar. I sure wish i had a few of those walnut trees. Can i ask what State your in
Just a little nugget of cool info... For a cedar to grow without man a bird has to eat the seed and pass it through it's craw to get the outter shell off so it can grow.
+Robert Evans thanks Robert, the only Cedars we have are Eastern Red. They only grow in certain parts of the country. There are other kinds such as western cedar commonly used for large log homes. ERC is best known for its nice aromatic sent. Very good for closets/chest etc. I will try to make a video on sawing some up soon.
The pole of that axe is designed/hardened for using it as a hammer. Also the sheath was designed so that it is directly below the poll of the axe. No damage done. Thanks for watching
You got any tips for a private land owner that wants to calculate tonnage and or board feet on a tract of land? How do you do a point sample method or anything of that nature? Thanks
I would get with your local state forestry department or find a good honest private forester. Around here we do it by the board foot and not by the tonnage.

Almost spring turkey hunting. . Time. Nice find on the walnut trees.
Thanks! Need to get those also! Almost forgot about them lol. Thanks for this comment!!
Ha! Look at you without your beard. Thought I'd go back to the beginning.
Lot of sweet Lumber there! looking forward to what it becomes!
+Wood By Wright me Too! Thanks for watching. Always enjoy your content also.
Thanks!
I've found that walnuts like this that grow on high ground have a lot less sap wood. The ones next to the creeks have more. Thanks for sharing
yes I can see that, i forgot all about this video, i need to get back up there and get those walnuts, thanks for the reminder!

Is Timber Cruising the Big Pickle Hunt or something more statistical?
Good video
I haven't cut down a cedar tree in years but it has to be a pain to clean it up before you mill it.
+CTSCAPER it is. Lots of limbing. Lots!!
I wonder, do you still have time to cruise for lumber these days?!

+HOSSMCGILLICUTTI thanks for watching.
I am in Tennessee.

Wood like to see (yes that was a pun) how you trim up the edges after you cut the main slab.
I usually leave a live edge and don't trim. You get maximum width that way and live edge is very popular
Nice video...what is the main difference between eastern red cedar and regular cedar tree.......I am newbie....

Are you referring to northern white cedar (Thuja occidentalis) or Juniperus virginiana (eastern red cedar)?
When you hammer a nail with the poll of your axe, it is better for your sheet to take that of while doing that because you can destroy your sheet!
The pole of that axe is designed/hardened for using it as a hammer. Also the sheath was designed so that it is directly below the poll of the axe. No damage done.
Thanks for watching
+Out of the Woods I understand but what I meant was that the axe will bite in the rivets of the sheet. Like the channel btw.
Thanks for the tip!

you probably already know this but don't cut wild cherry trees in a cow pasture because the leaves will wilt and will kill cows if they eat it
+storminnormanz yes. But thanks anyways! Good info to put out there.
