I'm a cabinet maker and I love knots and whorls in my timber, adds so much character to the final product. I've never understood why some people don't. Congratulations on the 6k viewers, both my wife and I down here in Australia love your channel. Keep it up!
Hi from Texas! When I was growing up, my Dad taught me so much about woods and woodworking. He was a cabinet/furniture maker. I remember, one day when I was about 6, I asked him why people always wanted the straight grained wood...the wood with the “circles” was prettier. He looked at me, smiled, and said, “Deborah, you should work with wood when you grow up. You recognize the wood’s character and that’s the secret to making the most beautiful pieces.” Back then, it wasn’t considered proper for a girl to do that kind of work, but I really wish I’d have kept on.
i'm not a woodsman but I can appreciate the effort and results of all the intense labor and knowledge it takes to harvest such a magnificent piece of red oak. Well done!
@@falllineridge I was thinking that at first it didn't seem like a lot of work, boy was I wrong. I know you edit your videos, but it must've taken you at least 2 hours to cut the tree, haul it off, and complete the job. Was I close? That's just one log. I subbed, kindly return the love. Watching from Northern Florida.
Alvaro aka Tico Not sure, the tree had been down for a couple of weeks before I made this video. Milling a log like this usually takes 25 minutes or so. The thing that takes the most time is moving the camera around. Appreciate the sub.
Very enjoyable video. Brought back wonderful childhood memories of my first sawmill experience in 1949. In 1949 at the age of five, my uncles and grandfather taught me to appreciate the value of working safely while creating lumber to build with. Their sawmill was within walking distance of where my family spent the summer in the small community of Buck Meadows California. God has provided materials for man to work and create the things man needs. Wonder video from the beginning thru the end. Well done!
I was a Nationally certified wood grader and I Love the knots. They add character and natural beauty to the wood. I can almost smell that red oak and I know for sure I miss it. Thanks for the video's !!
I remember English Oaks cut down the Sawmill was to say the very least more complicated a well known saw was made by Stenner of Tiverton certainly not portable they made a circular saw bench a very long time ago pulled around by traction engine later by tractor the firm was Stenner & Gunn now that was history for sure Gordon Exmouth UK
These vids are most enjoyable. Who'd imagine, watching a fella cut wood would be so enjoyable and relaxing? And that little dog's a hoot. A lot of thoughtful camera work and editing went into this production. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful...I can almost smell the sweet scent of oak. But after working on wood 17 years in No. CA my favorite is Western Red Cedar. Now that's beautiful wood for furniture ! Cheers.
Wonderful character in that set of boards.. I can see an edge glued table top with something to show for itself.. Turned out to be a really nice log.. beautiful knots!! If these end up in a floor, oh what a floor! Truly, thats cabinet or table top character in those boards.👍
You are right Jennifer, the knots and figuring come as a surprise AND a bonus, I'd call it a lucky find and often, as a Woodturner myself, I love timber with knots and figuring, tho many people consider such as a fault. This was a well explained and presented video, and a great sight for anyone interested in timbers and their differences Terry Offord
Truly amazing video my friend. I live next to a beach in north Essex UK and we never get to see your outdoor way of life, I was so Impressed with the way you cut your timber I had to show my daughter just how you live and what a great life you have. please keep us old city folks glued to your channel - thanks, Ian.

Beautiful! I have red oak floors in my 50's little house but they have been refinished so many times it is down to the nail heads. I wish I could afford to have the place re-floored with beautiful stuff like this. Nice pup.
Hey, George from Ontario, Canada here. Did a little milling up here. Never get tired of looking at wood. Love your posts, camera angles and commentary . Geeat stuff
Best part was listening to those birds at the end. Makes me miss America. You are so lucky to have such a large selection of wood. There is not so much here in Italy.
I had a tractor that looked like yours except it had a full size Ford backhoe on it all the time and I added a Case front end loader onto it. It was a Ford 3400 that had a 3 cylinder gas engine. Originally, it had a 3 foot wide bucket and dug graves in a cemetery. I traded the 3 ft. bucket for a 12" and 24" ones. It could dig down 12 foot deep. Took me 2 years to master operating it then I ran it like a pro and hired out with it. Seeing your tractor reminded me of mine I had some 20 years ago. I can still hop on most any backhoe or excavator now and be a real smooth operator with it.
I've did a lot of wood working with my grandfather when he was alive. And he would get special orders from the gentleman who lived behind him on the hill. And they were always for red oak. His dining table sits 20, and we built that table together. Along with turning the legs to the chairs to match the table legs. And this was for his "cottage"!! He paid very well for us to do it. Not only paid us to get the materials, but to build it. Plus labor costs. My first paid job was when I was 11 yrs old. Because I helped build it, my grandfather gave me $200.00. Now for an 11 yr old, that was huge money!! LOL But I can still smell the wood and he passed in 1998.
Jennifer Lehman # nice u got smiling memory with your grand pa,me to got the same history,he passed away in 1985 at 116 years old,originally born in Jakarta Indonesia,n now Seattle down in Kuala Lumpur since 1875 bye bye
@@noorzaidiahmad8332 My great grandmother, my Fathers grandmother was 103 yrs old when she passed. She walked 5 miles everyday, rain or shine. The day she passed she came in from her walk and asked what was for dinner, and it was one of her favorite meals so she said she'd be down for dinner. She went up to her apartment, layed down, and passed in her sleep. All I kept thinking was all she had seen and remembered about the 99 yrs of memories she had. Two of her brothers got caught on the East side of the Berlin wall. She said, I remember, when the wall went up, I knew I would never see them again because I knew the wall wouldn't come down in my lifetime. But it did. And we found her 2 brothers still alive. We arranged for them to come to the family reunion that year. When we brought her brothers, and their children out, she was Enso excited to see them. I'll never forget that family reunion. She is buried back in Germany, alongside her husband, in the family plot. That is where they met, and that was where they wanted their final resting place to be. :) Very happy memories of my paternal grandfather and grandmother, and paternal great grand parents. My maternal grandparents passed away before I was born, so I never knew them.
The log home that we built ~1992, I had the trees cut, milled and kill dried. We used it for a board and batten wall in the living room covering the stairwell. I put a high gloss polyurethane on it and it sure looked great. Also used a clear red oak floor through out the down stairs including the kitchen. Only problem I had was the dropped pots and pans in the kitchen, especially the cast-iron pans. That would leave dimples that would be hard to get out.
My wife and I have very old furniture that my great grandpa made out of red oak!!!! Over 100 years ago!!! And it is as beautiful as it was when he made them, we live in Perry county KY, The old Saw Mill is still there right today!!!! Under cover from the weather....we never have time to mass with it because of The we have here on our homestead. Maybe one day I'll get it going once again!!!! .. and I must say y'all do have some good looking red oak Sir!!!!!
Gorgeous wood. Perfect for furniture construction. I've always loved the looks of tiger oak. Like what was used to make fine furniture in the 18 and 19 hundreds.
I ask you is God’s handiwork not just stunning???? Beautiful and incredible !!! Thank you so much for showing us all the fruits of your harvest my friend !!!
I'm foreign to this industry but my thoughts: incredible machine, "nice" job to be your own boss, happy dog running around with you in wide clear open space; very interesting to see how a machine like that can cut tree wood into planks & this oak wood grain was beautiful !
I just had a huge white Oak go down. Looks like a hundred plus one in wood line might go down too. Nobody wants to come get Irene to mill! You skills are amazing.
Beautiful lumber! I personally like the knots and all the character in the wood. My husband was able to clean up where a tornado took down trees he had somebody with a portable mizer (sp) to come and cut it into lumber for our house to be built in a few yrs. which in the meantime my husband stacked it to dry and then in about 6 yrs we built our house with the lumber for our floors (oak) stair steps and the hand rails. We framed the three story house with our lumber. His father used the poplar for the cabinets, and they are beautiful, when I told a friend at work about using poplar for cabinets, she said "oh no" that they would probably be fuzzy and not very pretty, (that was very discouraging to hear and I worried about it) but they were beautiful base color of gold with a lot of purple and egg plant color. Anyway, our house was built from a tornado. My husband builds like the old craftsmen use to do. I know you've seen handrails in houses that were flimsy and loose, well, ours are not, they are very substantial and polished by my hands from using them going up and down them (our bedroom is upstairs) We have part of our walls in pine paneling on half the walls and the other half. Anyway, I can definitely appreciate your work.
With all due respect,, the only reason you'd ever find handrails/stairwells "flimsy",, is that the finishing carpenter didn't utilize the proper fasteners or the base underneath such as stairway stringers & backing in the walls weren't sturdy or properly secured you were tying into. You can build a non flimsy handrail from a piece of #3- 2x4 with knot holes in it the size of silver dollars which will stay secure for a long, long time as long as it's properly cured,, planed & "secured" to the underlying structure. Of course I'm not suggesting to utilize cosmetically inferior (& less dense) framing lumber for finish wood,, but there are places of necessity where someone building that old cabin (or any project) to his/her like,, would utilize non standard lumber in the most conspicuous areas of their own private getaway. Lumber is lumber & as long as it's cut & dried to a usable finish product,, I've seen some of the most unorthodox usage of it which made me think,, "why didn't I think of that"? It's great your husband saw fit to grab hold of what most would simply throw into a pile & strike a match to,, you sound very proud of that fact & rightfully so. I'm simply pointing to the fact a "good sturdy finish job" is far more to do with properly finished materials & a good skilled craftsman putting the pieces together in skilled fashion. I bet your home's lovely & whoever told you "poplar" wasn't adequate for cabinet material is as misguided as thinking you can't build a project with less than stellar products making it "sturdy & unflimsy" as well,, *wink*..
@@falllineridge I used to build one, custom piece of furniture a year. It would start at the lumber mill with a beautiful, strong, old red oak. Then, about a year later, would emerge a one-of-a-kind piece of furniture. That smell takes me back.
I grew up in the city and never really gave much thought to where the wood that surrounds me might originate. This is an interesting video and one I enjoyed learning about how a tree becomes lumber.
Have you heard of a pocket Beagle? me either until my daughter got one for Xmas? I nicknamed it half mush after I seen it pulling my grandkids around on a sled with wheels on it.
@@billdude1313 yes a Pocket Beagle were made popular during the Renaissance for the Nobility. Very gentle & sweet dogs, curious (typical hound dog) but you have to keep an eye on them because when they get on a scent & the nose is down - tail up, they get so engrossed in chasing a scent they'll get lost & not know how to get home. They're a miniature Beagle. Our first Beagle, Butch pulled our son around on his sled when he was 3 & 4 yrs old. I asked our Vet & she said if the dog didn't want to pull him, he wouldn't do it. Dogs know their limits. My husband brought the puppy home at 6 wks old when our son was almost 1 yr old, he was his birthday present & they were best buddies! Butch died in '98 he was 9 yrs old.
Wow, you put a lot of work into making that video and it is much appreciated. I got my wife to watch you driving down the tacks as it just looks so piece full . She was really enjoying it with me until you started sawing then she lost interest? Go figure. I could watch it all day. Cheers mate, Stuart 🇦🇺
Beautiful grain.I refinish furniture as a hobby.I appreciate the beauty of the grain like you do.I will only refinish wood with a clear coat to show its beauty.Paint????NEVER!
I agree. I have a nice antique makeup table my uncle restored for me. He kept the original finish and just cleaned it and re oiled. I let my female roommate use it and she painted it white with heap white spray paint while I was one. I blew my stack.
Can't be a beagle - way too quite! Every beagle I've owned... well, a cow farts in India and they bark like crazy, a bus backfires in Rome and you'd think the Mongol Hoards were crossing over the back fence. And dig? Crap, you'd think they're 50% gopher... but great dogs! How old is that pup?
My beagle doesn't bark. When he sees a rabbit he stalks it. When I got him at 10 weeks old, he was the only one in the litter that was setting down and not barking and clawing at the cage. That's why I picked him. I got lucky.
Just a question. Wouldn't taking off each board as you cut it slow down the wear on your blade? Seems all the extra weight as you cut down puts a strain on the motor as well.
That's a good question. The strain you hear is coming from the wood. Red Oak is quite hard...and the mill only has 10hp. When the blade goes through a log, the weight of the boards above the blade is supported by the remaining wood in front of the blade. You can actually pull the blade backwards through the cut for a few inches before it binds. So, there's no extra weight on the blade. Appreciate you watching.
No because the blade needs some stress on it otherwise it can travel a bit up and down especially when it hits hard bits . Should also use small amount of washing up liquid in the water.
Beautiful wood. I am from South Africa, we have entirely different types of wood here, which includes pink ivory wood (rooi ivoor in Afrikaans). Great to see all the trees! You have the water for your forests to grow. Appreciate it. It is different at some places elsewhere.
Gustav, I am from South Africa too. No two ways about it, not only do we have beautiful woods but the junk shops and antique shops are filled with lovely old and very fine examples of old woodwork. Not cheap, of course but you can get some beautiful examples.
I am from Jeffreys Bay, been up to Ngwenya lodge a few weeks ago. It is 15 km from Komatipoort. Brought back a trove of about 18 species of wood, small off-cuts, I do mainly woodturning. The stuff is incredible, a range of terrific colours. Sue, where are you? What brought you there? My sister is an American from Seattle.
@@gustavbarnard7039 Gustav, I live in Citrusdal in the Western Cape - how I got there is a bit of a story. I live in a caravan in a HUGE garden on an orange farm which is filled with lovely trees. My hobby is bird photography which I do with a Canon Powershot SX60HS and my other hobby is writing novels for teenagers and baking my own Sourdough bread with my own Sourdough starter. I also enjoy watching RUclips videos and posting and reading the comments. I'll be 62 in November. Great to meet a fellow South African via RUclips! And by the way - I have a sister who is a naturalised American Citizen - she lives in St Louis Missourri - did I spell that right?
Red oak floors are a premium product in Florida. I had them in my old 1920's house. They are so beautiful. I've never even this type of work done. It's sort of mesmerizing! That is an ingenious tool! And I can see you are an expert at what you do. The planks look fairly thick. Do you always cut them that thick?
Hello Christine, I bought a 1940s house, I'd like to see the 1920's oak floor, I hope you can take photos and share it with us. You can also post it on my channel if you want.
I love your Beagle!!! Our sweet Sugar Bear passed in 2010 & I do miss his baying & even his snoring... but every time I think about adopting another, I tell myself I don't miss the selective hearing or his refusal to follow basic commands, he had a mind of his own! Beagles are imo the BEST dogs for kids, no more loyal a dog you'll ever have. The wood is gorgeous too😆
Thank you! My first Beagle passed away earlier this year. He was a great dog. We always thought he was abnormal because he minded us very well. This one is hyperactive and definitely has a mind of her own though. Thanks for stopping by!
Think of the incredible effort and skill, of two old timers without a machine, cutting this. The man in the saw pit getting the benefit of their work! Red oak is crowding out white oak, so some forest management may be required.

Beautiful lumber! I personally like the knots and all the character in the wood. My husband was able to clean up where a tornado took down trees he had somebody with a portable mizer (sp) to come and cut it into lumber for our house to be built in a few yrs. which in the meantime my husband stacked it to dry and then in about 6 yrs we built our house with the lumber for our floors (oak) stair steps and the hand rails. We framed the three story house with our lumber. His father used the poplar for the cabinets, and they are beautiful, when I told a friend at work about using poplar for cabinets, she said "oh no" that they would probably be fuzzy and not very pretty, (that was very discouraging to hear and I worried about it) but they were beautiful base color of gold with a lot of purple and egg plant color. Anyway, our house was built from a tornado. My husband builds like the old craftsmen use to do. I know you've seen handrails in houses that were flimsy and loose, well, ours are not, they are very substantial and polished by my hands from using them going up and down them (our bedroom is upstairs) We have part of our walls in pine paneling on half the walls and the other half. Anyway, I can definitely appreciate your work.
It sounds like you have a very beautiful home. Thank you for sharing!
With all due respect,, the only reason you'd ever find handrails/stairwells "flimsy",, is that the finishing carpenter didn't utilize the proper fasteners or the base underneath such as stairway stringers & backing in the walls weren't sturdy or properly secured you were tying into. You can build a non flimsy handrail from a piece of #3- 2x4 with knot holes in it the size of silver dollars which will stay secure for a long, long time as long as it's properly cured,, planed & "secured" to the underlying structure. Of course I'm not suggesting to utilize cosmetically inferior (& less dense) framing lumber for finish wood,, but there are places of necessity where someone building that old cabin (or any project) to his/her like,, would utilize non standard lumber in the most conspicuous areas of their own private getaway. Lumber is lumber & as long as it's cut & dried to a usable finish product,, I've seen some of the most unorthodox usage of it which made me think,, "why didn't I think of that"? It's great your husband saw fit to grab hold of what most would simply throw into a pile & strike a match to,, you sound very proud of that fact & rightfully so. I'm simply pointing to the fact a "good sturdy finish job" is far more to do with properly finished materials & a good skilled craftsman putting the pieces together in skilled fashion. I bet your home's lovely & whoever told you "poplar" wasn't adequate for cabinet material is as misguided as thinking you can't build a project with less than stellar products making it "sturdy & unflimsy" as well,, *wink*..

Your dog is cute and you have beautiful land be blessed
Looks beautiful
Oh my gosh! Your pup is so adorable! ❤️🐶😊
Great video and beautiful wood.
Love the video. What a great location. Think your little canine helper is great.
There is NOTHING that beats the smell of fresh cut Red Oak. That's real country.
William Hamiter I agree. I think I like it better than cedar.
@@falllineridge I used to build one, custom piece of furniture a year. It would start at the lumber mill with a beautiful, strong, old red oak. Then, about a year later, would emerge a one-of-a-kind piece of furniture. That smell takes me back.
William Hamiter That’s really cool. Thanks for sharing!
I love cherry better. Its a toss actually
Very nice, loved the piano.
That is beautiful wood
This vid kept showing up on my feed to I decided to finally watch it.
DAM8658 Haha! Thanks for watching!
Beautiful wood and a fine looking puppy
Thanks!
I grew up in the city and never really gave much thought to where the wood that surrounds me might originate. This is an interesting video and one I enjoyed learning about how a tree becomes lumber.
Fine looking wood.
Nice looking puppy...my favorite breed... beagle
Have you heard of a pocket Beagle? me either until my daughter got one for Xmas? I nicknamed it half mush after I seen it pulling my grandkids around on a sled with wheels on it.
@@billdude1313 no I haven't. But I put nothing passed a begale.....🙂
Over the years, many I have had we're the best buddies one could ever ask for! 😉
@@billdude1313 yes a Pocket Beagle were made popular during the Renaissance for the Nobility. Very gentle & sweet dogs, curious (typical hound dog) but you have to keep an eye on them because when they get on a scent & the nose is down - tail up, they get so engrossed in chasing a scent they'll get lost & not know how to get home. They're a miniature Beagle.
Our first Beagle, Butch pulled our son around on his sled when he was 3 & 4 yrs old. I asked our Vet & she said if the dog didn't want to pull him, he wouldn't do it. Dogs know their limits. My husband brought the puppy home at 6 wks old when our son was almost 1 yr old, he was his birthday present & they were best buddies! Butch died in '98 he was 9 yrs old.
oh yeah those knots are a bonus so beautifull
Outstanding Dog Too
Wow, you put a lot of work into making that video and it is much appreciated. I got my wife to watch you driving down the tacks as it just looks so piece full . She was really enjoying it with me until you started sawing then she lost interest? Go figure. I could watch it all day. Cheers mate, Stuart 🇦🇺
Ha! Can't win them all, I guess. Glad you enjoyed it. Appreciate ya'll watching.
Beautiful wood and dont worry about the knots woodworkers love them for the feature they add. Knots arnt that hard to stablize in a project.
I think they'll look great on my floor. Lots of character.
rustic
Nice oak lumber.👌🐕
Beautiful dog
I enjoy your videos because you are a get it done kind of guy and the videos are all about production.

Thanks for stopping by!
Cute inquisitive dog
A very satisfying video! Nice camera work and pacing. thanks for that.
Ean James Thank you!

I agree. I have a nice antique makeup table my uncle restored for me. He kept the original finish and just cleaned it and re oiled. I let my female roommate use it and she painted it white with heap white spray paint while I was one. I blew my stack.
Knocks are beautiful that whole board is beautiful thanks for sharing
that's a cool little doggo. looks like my beagle.
Can't be a beagle - way too quite! Every beagle I've owned... well, a cow farts in India and they bark like crazy, a bus backfires in Rome and you'd think the Mongol Hoards were crossing over the back fence. And dig? Crap, you'd think they're 50% gopher... but great dogs! How old is that pup?
Thom Ream She’s definitely a noisy little thing. She’s 6 months.
My beagle doesn't bark. When he sees a rabbit he stalks it. When I got him at 10 weeks old, he was the only one in the litter that was setting down and not barking and clawing at the cage. That's why I picked him. I got lucky.
Can't get much cuter than that! How is she on obedience training? More importantly, how are YOU on obedience training?!!!
That was some beautiful wood.
I like your dog!
And that’s one cute puppy you got there too
Just a question. Wouldn't taking off each board as you cut it slow down the wear on your blade? Seems all the extra weight as you cut down puts a strain on the motor as well.
That's a good question. The strain you hear is coming from the wood. Red Oak is quite hard...and the mill only has 10hp. When the blade goes through a log, the weight of the boards above the blade is supported by the remaining wood in front of the blade. You can actually pull the blade backwards through the cut for a few inches before it binds. So, there's no extra weight on the blade. Appreciate you watching.
Thank you.
Makes sense, thank you.
You're right dudes!
No because the blade needs some stress on it otherwise it can travel a bit up and down especially when it hits hard bits . Should also use small amount of washing up liquid in the water.
The Red Oak was Beautiful wood. I dont think I have ever seen such a beautiful wood. Including the knots and all.
Beautiful wood. I am from South Africa, we have entirely different types of wood here, which includes pink ivory wood (rooi ivoor in Afrikaans). Great to see all the trees! You have the water for your forests to grow. Appreciate it. It is different at some places elsewhere.
Sounds like beautiful stuff! Thanks for stopping by!
Gustav, I am from South Africa too. No two ways about it, not only do we have beautiful woods but the junk shops and antique shops are filled with lovely old and very fine examples of old woodwork. Not cheap, of course but you can get some beautiful examples.
I am from Jeffreys Bay, been up to Ngwenya lodge a few weeks ago. It is 15 km from Komatipoort. Brought back a trove of about 18 species of wood, small off-cuts, I do mainly woodturning. The stuff is incredible, a range of terrific colours. Sue, where are you? What brought you there? My sister is an American from Seattle.
@@gustavbarnard7039 Gustav, I live in Citrusdal in the Western Cape - how I got there is a bit of a story. I live in a caravan in a HUGE garden on an orange farm which is filled with lovely trees. My hobby is bird photography which I do with a Canon Powershot SX60HS and my other hobby is writing novels for teenagers and baking my own Sourdough bread with my own Sourdough starter. I also enjoy watching RUclips videos and posting and reading the comments. I'll be 62 in November. Great to meet a fellow South African via RUclips! And by the way - I have a sister who is a naturalised American Citizen - she lives in St Louis Missourri - did I spell that right?

Amazing. Inside the log, he found - WOOD!
I am speachless!
You have a bit of a simple mind. youtube has a cartoons section just for you!
Natural beauty of wood. This is better than politics.
That saw is so amazing! It sure does take the work out of a heavy job!!😊
Red oak floors are a premium product in Florida. I had them in my old 1920's house. They are so beautiful. I've never even this type of work done. It's sort of mesmerizing! That is an ingenious tool! And I can see you are an expert at what you do. The planks look fairly thick. Do you always cut them that thick?
Christine Sutton I cut them to 1 inch and then plane them to 3/4 once they are cured. Thank you for the compliment!
Hello Christine, I bought a 1940s house, I'd like to see the 1920's oak floor, I hope you can take photos and share it with us. You can also post it on my channel if you want.
What a neat machine. Beautiful wood
That was a great log!
Thanks! Appreciate you stopping by.

I love your Beagle!!! Our sweet Sugar Bear passed in 2010 & I do miss his baying & even his snoring... but every time I think about adopting another, I tell myself I don't miss the selective hearing or his refusal to follow basic commands, he had a mind of his own! Beagles are imo the BEST dogs for kids, no more loyal a dog you'll ever have. The wood is gorgeous too😆
Thank you! My first Beagle passed away earlier this year. He was a great dog. We always thought he was abnormal because he minded us very well. This one is hyperactive and definitely has a mind of her own though. Thanks for stopping by!
Think of the incredible effort and skill, of two old timers without a machine, cutting this.
The man in the saw pit getting the benefit of their work!
Red oak is crowding out white oak, so some forest management may be required.
