He. llo Eddie, I'm an Antique Furniture Restorer ( 50 years+ ) I just bought Chestnut for a project. My wholesale cost was $38 a board foot for 4/4. A real treat to watch it get sawn. Thanks for your channel, I learned a lot today, Best, Fred
When Eddie tips his head on a 45 degree angle and looks down the length of the blade, it looked like the original 60's Batman series comic book filming style which employed crazy camera angles. Plus I'm sure one villain wanted to use buzz saws on their intended victims. BIFF! BAM!
You could use the pith for fence posts. Cedar, Black Locust, and American Chestnut, if you have those trees, there's absolutely nothing you couldn't make. Thank you Eddie, we could use more people with your attitude and thoughtfulness in this world. Happy New Year to you and yours.
I like to tell people that I was going through my blessings and your name came up. Please include yourself,Eddie. Enjoy the history of the trees and your area, always nice to learn something new.
Nice video Eddie, American Chestnut is a beautiful wood. I do not think i have ever seen one before. Keep them videos coming, we love em here. Learn lots as well. I really appreciate what you do a lot more, once we have seen the other side of the mill.. Lots of work, and never a dull moment..
Another nice video, Eddie. Great information on the chestnut, too. I remember going out backhome and picking up nuts to eat (and avoiding the burs). Bill
Love that Chestnut Eddie it is a beautiful wood thanks for give us a look at it was my first time seeing American Chestnut milled a it is a beautiful wood and iys a shame the get that big and die just like locust it great so big the the insects kill it atleast in my area!!
Even in the rain, you have a smooth operation. I am so glad that you put a roof over the mill.🐷🐷🐷🐷🐖Thankful is right. It is so easy to complain but a thankful heart is a blessing to all those who are near you. Thanks for the video!!!!!
Great channel, along with Marks. That is some absolutely beautiful wood! Thank you for sharing some history on it, super interesting. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos. Blessings!!
A great informative video. It’s strange how these diseases develop. Here in England our Elms were decimated with Dutch elm disease and now we are seeing our Ash trees going the same way. We also have the beetle that devastates soft wood forests. It the way of the world with timber from any country being so readily available. Keep up the great videos.
Thanks Ed. I seen very few chestnut trees in Massachusetts in the 1960s to 1970s. I saw many acorn trees in Massachusetts & Vermont. Beautiful wood. I ❤ your end of production too. I missed 319 channel. 😳😳🥺🥺😞😞 He looks good. Have a good Friday Ed. Say Hi to Mark & ZZ. 😊😉👍❤️💜🙏
Great videos on both sides of the blade!!!! I really enjoyed your description and history of the American Chestnut. We have 5 Chestnut trees on our property. They were started by our neighbor 40 some years ago. I'm not sure of the veriaty, but they are more of a Bushey tree. Los of branches starting 8 feet up or so. Fall is a real pain in the ass with all the hulls!
That American chestnut looks pretty much the same as the butternut and beech trees I have on my property here in New Brunswick along the Northern Maine boarder on the St. John River in the Appalachian Mountain range. I’ve sawed a few that were dead standing, and the butternut is an excellent wood I make heavy rustic coffee and end tables out of them.
My first time watching your channel Eddie. Great to see the mill from your perspective. I'm a fan of hemlock wood. Much of many cities in the east were built with hemlock wood from PA and NY. In the 1860s to 1890s, the bison hides from the slaughter out west were loaded onto railroad cars and shipped to the greater Allegheny area in PA and NY. There were hundreds of leather tanneries in the Allegheny uplands. Hemlock bark was stripped from hemlock trees by many tons. The hemlock bark was made inti tannic acid which was used to tan the bison hides. At that time, there was no vinyl, plastic, polyester, or other oil based material. EVERYTHING was made from leather, wood, metal, glass, or stone. Once the bison were gone, the stripped hemlocks were lumbered to build Pittsburgh, New York, Cleveland, and many other cities and towns. Hemlock is a great construction wood, but is not cut for construction lumber as it was.
Nice show, I've only seen one American Chestnut tree in my life, was at least 40 years ago in my hometown of Belfast Maine, I still have a leaf from it in my family Bible, I believe that tree was sterile as the fruit was very small and shriveled up, it was the same size as the tree in this video
Hi Eddie!!! I finally found your channel! I've been looking for it ever since I subscribed to Mark! I wish Mark would put a link to your channel on his channel! This is the first video I've watched on your channel!! It's only 1 minute in...but I love it so far!!
That's some beautiful lumber Eddie. really enjoy you and Mark. Have one question why does Mark have trouble keeping the steam off his windows John says he has heat and air conditioning.😅 that guy should be a comedian.
I was wondering wat kinda smell that lumber has, since it's rare I bet it's interesting, anyway happy new year Eddie wish you and yours an fantastic new year
Ha Eddie, glad you are still makeing the videos. I know it can be a pain in the butt. Ha I’m curious. Not only is that chestnut lumber beautiful but it is VERY rare. How much do you think those boards are worth $ to the right person.? Hope you have a happy new year! 🎊🎈🎆👍🇺🇸🤪
Your boy needs a pair of gloves, he can't his hands out of his pockets. American Chestnut? Is that Sweet or Horse? Two different species. Lovely timber!
Watched it here and then on Mark’s channel. Twice as interesting to see it from both perspectives. Thanks Eddie.
Thanks for watching
It's very interesting hearing the devastating of the American Chestnut. Thanks Eddie. I appreciate you too.
Kenny

Time for another fun ride along! :) Thanks Eddie!
Thanks for watching
We are thankful for you and your words of wisdom.
Thank you
Be thankful Yes Sir. When things don't go so well I tell ole Junior at least we're better off than that rabbit in the back yard.
Thanks
I love the belt guard on the chop saw!,
We had an extra piece of wood and it seemed to work
Thanks Ed. I seen very few chestnut trees in Massachusetts in the 1960s to 1970s. I saw many acorn trees in Massachusetts & Vermont. Beautiful wood. I ❤ your end of production too. I missed 319 channel. 😳😳🥺🥺😞😞 He looks good. Have a good Friday Ed. Say Hi to Mark & ZZ. 😊😉👍❤️💜🙏
Thanks for watching. Will do
Beautiful wood. Thanks for showing us this.
Thank you for watching
Eddie, I finally from your view on the sawmill got to see Mr. Laser. It's been driving me crazy as to where he's located. Thanks!
Thank you for watching
That is some beautiful wood! I love the deep color of the grain and how much it stands out. I can just imagine it turned and polished!
Me too!
Have a happy and prosperous new year. Great content.
Happy new year! Thanks
Y'all have to take those boards over to Nathan so he can run them through his kiln. That stuff would sure make some fine cabinetry.
It would make beautiful cabinets
Thanks for this video Eddy I really appreciate it. I live in Wisconsin we’ve never had such a fine species, beautiful grain.
Thank you for watching
Great! Video once again
Thank you
Great videos on both sides of the blade!!!!

Most likely a Chinese Chestnut, Thanks for sharing

I’ve sawed a few that were dead standing, and the butternut is an excellent wood I make heavy rustic coffee and end tables out of them.
We refer to the butternut as white walnut and its a very desirable wood to carve
nice one😁👍🏼
It is, thanks for watching
I can see from your perspective why Mark always turns the logs to get to stackable boards quickly
Different view shows why we do things
Nice lumber.
I've never seen an American Chestnut in my area. However, my grandfather saw it sparsely in the late 1800's and early 1900's.
Very cool!
Always enjoy watching your videos keep up the good work just be careful that you don't pass up Marks channel on view's LOL
Appreciate you watching both channels it benefits both of us
Eddie, I read that at one time American Chestnut was more plentiful than the oak trees are today
Very well could have been.
I to like watching Mark's videos and the Eddie's thanks you both for taking the time to show the world interesting things.
Glad you like them!
That’s so cool. Great video Eddie
Thanks 👍

Most of the barns in western Pennsylvania, your area, that were built in the late 1800 and early 1900 were built with Chestnut beams.
Yes they were they grew straight and you could get 40’ lengths
Nice show, I've only seen one American Chestnut tree in my life, was at least 40 years ago in my hometown of Belfast Maine, I still have a leaf from it in my family Bible, I believe that tree was sterile as the fruit was very small and shriveled up, it was the same size as the tree in this video
Thank you for sharing your story. Thank you for watching

That's some beautiful lumber Eddie. really enjoy you and Mark. Have one question why does Mark have trouble keeping the steam off his windows John says he has heat and air conditioning.😅 that guy should be a comedian.
The humidity was high. No air conditioning though
An amazing looking wood and an informative history story as well. Please do more content like this Eddie. Well done
Glad you enjoyed it
so great to see your end of the mill wonder what ya can do with the pith? turn it? to bad the blight go it nice wood
If it doesn't split it could be used for turning stock
Wow that’s pretty wood. Nice save 👍
Thanks 👍
Great video Eddie.
Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you
Thank you Eddie ...... I watched Pete's video when he felled it glad it is on video being sawed ..... any idea on board footage ?
board footage is 135 - 150 ft Thanks for watching
I was wondering wat kinda smell that lumber has, since it's rare I bet it's interesting, anyway happy new year Eddie wish you and yours an fantastic new year
Actually it didn’t have a real good smell. Happy new year to you
Ha Eddie, glad you are still makeing the videos. I know it can be a pain in the butt. Ha I’m curious. Not only is that chestnut lumber beautiful but it is VERY rare. How much do you think those boards are worth $ to the right person.? Hope you have a happy new year! 🎊🎈🎆👍🇺🇸🤪
Sold together about $1500. Happy new year
Why do us young guys think we don't need hearing protection? I was young once and “immune” to noise. Now I'm not…. I said, NOW IM NOT!”
He did have ear plugs in. You sure need them there
that's what we tree lovers like to see and hear is info about woods. more please
Glad you enjoyed it
LOVE YOUR VIDS MARK AND EDDIE
Thank you
👍
Are there any Horse Chestnut trees growing in your area? I have seen them growing in Western Oregon. Have a very Happy New Year!! 🙃
Happy new year! Not many growing anywhere in this area
Happy New Year, Eddie. Great video. Did you ever consider posting your videos a day or two after Mark's? I think you would get more views.
Happy new year! It's a possibility
Thanks ole boy 😊
No problem 👍
Where do you buy your saw blades from ? I see one all packaged up in the background . Love the channel !
we buy them from B.H. Payne. Thanks for watching
Great video buddy pretty wood 👍
Thanks glad you liked it
Don't you love it when everything starts 1st time
Yep
yep
I wonder how this compares to European Chestnut? That is sweet or Spanish chestnut rather than horse chestnut.
I'm not sure I'm not real familiar with those other chestnuts
Does this have a high tanic acid content like European Oak, if it does you can darken it with ammonia.
Not sure about that, we don't come a cross a lot of chestnut.
Makes beautiful gun stock.
It sure does. Thank you
Did you ever get the kiln up and running? We never hear anything about it.
No we’re having problems getting electric to the mill
NOT UNTIL THE GOOD LORD FIXES ALL THINGS!
Right. Thanks
When you use the edger ,does the edger automatically show the best yield of the board or due set each one?
We set each one. Thank you
Does Pete know if there are any more chestnut trees out there to get nuts for planting next spring?
You'd have to ask Pete I wouldn't know
Hi Eddie I have been following Mark channel I like to know how many rpm do u run the bus motor to cut the logs
It runs about 1800 rpm. The gauge says 1500 but it’s actually 1800
Mr. THE Eddie? What are your sawing plans for the New Year?
Well that depends on orders
Mr. THE Eddie? What will you be sawing tomorrow?
Sawing hemlock or rock maple. Not sure yet
Your boy needs a pair of gloves, he can't his hands out of his pockets. American Chestnut? Is that Sweet or Horse? Two different species. Lovely timber!
I believe it was horse
No worker should have their hands in their pockets. Surely.
Maybe they were cold 😂
Have you decided what you will make out of the chestnut lumber?
No plans for it yet
How can I be a-getting me one of those orders?
Did that PO ever release your one helper to go back to work?
🤣
Is that a true American Chestnut or a hybrid between Chinese and American chestnut?
No it’s not
There is a couple of chestnut trees by my house in Nj
Thank you for sharing, very unusual to find chestnut anymore
Eddie, Who is Pete the guy in the hoody?
Pete has his own channel at nuts319. He is an gentleman of excellent character. A very well respected lumberman.
Horacerumpole80 Said it all and I agree
BEAUTIFUL GRAIN ON THAT CHESTNUT
It is
What is Pete's RUclips channel's name?
nuts319
@@markgalicic7788 Thank you very much.
Am I right in saying that your engine is a 238? 6L71 for purists I guess.....
It’s a 671 Detroit
