What wonderfully atmospheric music over the end sequence! Very high production quality video as always...
Thank you Nathan! I very much enjoy your "Vlog" videos because unlike so many other RUclipsrs you share life with us! Your videos are terrific and I can't for the life of me understand how you get it all done. It's what sets you apart. I enjoy your comments when you're out and about and I Laugh everytime I see "Pajama People" in the conveince stores and at red box in the middle of the day!! Stay safe Buddy!
Thanks buddy appreciate you
After looking at that log sitting on the ground I would suggest leaving it alone, it's infested with cats!
lol
😂🤣
Being of the era of candy cigarettes and bubblegum cigars, we always called them Cigar Trees. They decorated themselves with giant heart shaped leaves, hanging seed pods that looked like 12" green beans (cigars), and kid friendly bark with limbs that called out "climb me".
I used to have two cats and wondered if my neighbours ever thought of me as the mad old cat lady... but nine? Nathan, I hope you've got shares in a canned tuna factory!
the catalpa tree has large leaves. Growing up in Mississippi, and Louisiana there is a species of worms that eat only catalpa leaves. These worms make the best fishing bait for catfish and white perch.
They do up here in Ark. too!
Got them in Texas too. Those worms are great fish bait
Just talked to a man who uses catalpa worms year round. How? He puts them in tupperware, covers them with water and freezes them! He said they last about 18 months...
Yep, growing up we had a couple on the farm and they made the best bait.
@@BuickDoc sounds strange, but if it works, go for it.
Hi Nathan, I got a good friend up here in west central Illinois who runs a saw mill and turns bowls etc. He told me that the railroads used to use Catalpa to make ties. They even planted them along their right-of-ways so they would have a ready supply and there are a lot of remnants of Catalpa groves along where the old tracks used to run. Also, the green Catalpa worms are favored for fishing bait.
I cannot tell you how much I enjoy watching your channel! I am very close to making a purchase on a bandsaw mill, and your work and methods are inspiring. I'm learning so much, and feel I should have a notebook with me at all times when I watch you! Truly appreciated! 👏👏👏
Awesome! Thank you!
When I was young, we called the neighborhood caltapa ‘the fish bait tree’.
ln my life l have seen a lot of Catalpa trees but l ain't seen nothing like how huge that tree must have been...WOW....Thanks my friend...!
I have never heard of catalpa wood. Really interesting. Cool video. Thanks 👍👍👍❤️
Nice wood it drys nice and works nicely with pretty color and grain
Come on friends!!! Like and comment for our guy, you know....the algorithm thing. Great videos, just started watching your content, WOW!!!
Much appreciated
I like the fact that you did a Cat Scan on the log before you started. You can never be too sure about whats inside.
Don't think I didn't see what u did there. Brilliant!
Enjoy it all.any family to help out.
My in-laws used to have a catalpa tree (pronounced like ka-TOWEL-pa) that was every bit of 4 feet across. They wanted to have it cut down since it was growing into the side of the garage. This was about 20 years ago. They decided to live with it when they got a couple of estimates to have it cut down. The CHEAPEST estimate was over $2,000.00, and only if the sawyer could keep all of the wood. They lived in town and the tree sat between their garage and the neighbors dining room about 4 feet away. There were also electric and phone lines running right past it. I always wanted a cross cut slab out of it for a dining table. When my in-laws moved, the new owners tore down the garage and left the tree standing. I haven't been back there in over a decade, it may still be standing.
the guitar work you pick out is unreal...

Sure do enjoy your videos. Thanks for making them!
I love this guy. Very easy to watch and very informative about wood and sawing. I'll shut up now. Yep, that blade is dull. Terrible. Ok, bye for now. Will be looking for the follow up video. LOL!!! Too funny. 😀
If that 880 with a 6' bar can't handle that log it can't be done. Glad to see things are progressing for you. Sometimes I think your production problems stem in part from you playing with the drone to produce the mesmerizing footage you show us. Seriously, your videography continues to get more engaging. Thanks again, Mr. Elliott, for a great video.
Good evening Nathan,
This poplar log will produce some nice boards. You know there is only so much you can do when the blade gets dull. Tomorrow, starts another great week the LORD is giving us. Have a good one. I'm sure it will be productive for both of us.
Very true!
Poplar makes good wooden shacks or shingles for a roof. Swells up fast when it rains giving a better seal. At least that’s what the old timers have told me back in the day
I just knew that the wood Horder in you couldn't resist keeping some for yourself LOL 🤠
That sure is one chunk of wood Nathan! Cannot wait to see that bad boy on the Alaskan mill!! Just had a look at that wood pile, you sure are going to be busy for a few months. Loving seeing all the kittens running around!. I also like that you are considering your neighbours and keeping them onside with what you are doing, nice one dear friend. Take care and be safe Graham🇬🇧🇬🇧🌲🌲👍
Your videos are great I learn something every time I watch. Never thought about sterilizing wood or even the temperatures to dry. And as always music is great.
You make me wanna go milling also. Love the termination for the different stages of milling
Thanks for watching
That cool glad to see you getting a use out of that log
I was the guy that fell that log. Can’t wait to see what she looks like.
We've always called it Catawba around here in NC. Catawba worms for fishin, Catawba County, town of Catawba & Catawba river.....
Looking forward to seeing that big log opened up

@@OutoftheWoods0623 where's the follow up video?
I got lucky today at the farmers market. A guy turns bowls with a chainsaw and I got a poplar spoon from a 130 year old tree. So excited there’s some jewels out there for sure
Catalpa is really nice wood. Has a sort of coffee with cream color to it. I think it's really beautiful finished with boiled linseed oil and garnet shellac. The end grain is kind of crumbly, though; not great for dovetailing, but splined miters work well...
My local sawmill has it occasionally. I buy it when I can get it.
Good to know!
So interesting to hear all the things they call this tree cross the states. Here in VA we call it yellow poplar and tulip tree too. Thanks for the vlog and excited to see that catalpa cracked open. Good luck with that Alaskan mill!
as a woodcarver, i'm very jealous of you having a wood i've never worked before, even those barked first cuts you make to level the log on the mill.
i am glad i am not the only one that cant say the name of the same tree i just sawed the same tree about 6 months ago it is beautifull lumber mine was about 26" across
Nice. How did you saw it?
I lost a 60’ Catalpa tree during Hurricane Harvey. I’ve got a huge section of the base that I saved because it has a large burl knob that went half way around it.
Recent videos have been excellent and even more explanatory than before. Great to see improvement on your already great content, I love it.
Appreciate it
My grandfather kept catalpa trees in his yard because a particular type of caterpillar grew on them. We used them for catfish bait, mostly in his ponds. Interestingly, he lived in western KY, for all I know these could have been one of those. You pronounced it like he did, for what that's worth, though he may have said it wrong.
We used to have some of those by the interstate. We called them catawba worm trees. Yeah we're country. Probably butchered the name real bad. Worms good for fishing. Great video as always. 👍 👍
Interesting!
I tried your drywall scraper trick for dust when i milled a log last week, it’s a neat idea!
Great to hear!
I'll definitely wait to see the chain saw mill,
I hope you're paying those cat's a fair salary for assistance in strategizing the best way to yielding the best cuts on each log, good help is hard to find, best channel on RUclips
Like what you are doing.
in my neck of the woods, tulip tree wood is used for trim boards. The fine grain and few knots make good trim and takes paint well. Very stable once dried. I have never seen a catalpa tree that big either.
Great video
130k subs...easily should get 40-50k likes!!
I'm anxious to see that catalpa tree being cut. When I was younger we called those cigar trees because of the seed pods. There's a lot of them here in Ohio. Stay safe. Bill
thanks Bill,
Catalpa also has extremely large leaves, and beautiful blue flowers in April/May.
😁😁🤣. Those cats got da’hell outta there when that log it the side panels of the trailer. 😂😂
😂😂👍
Love seeing your cats!
Great video! I guess you can never get away from the flat out evil in this world (Shawn McCoin)! I appreciate the knowledge you provide and the great videography! 👍👍
Thanks Kindly Nathan! Always enjoy a good Christmas show at least the mill! Blessings! DaveyJO in Pa.
If I could offer some advice- (aslo no idea if you've milled with a chainsaw previously so if so, disregard) , BUT, When you mill with the Stihl, check on the air filter, milling can clog it quicker, also increasing the oiler on the chain isn't a bad idea. A milling chain also makes life a lot easier and keeps the cuts clean! Looking forward to seeing that log cut up!
I love woodworking sawmill
Thanks Kindly Nathan! Poplar is great for taking stains. You can make it look like other woods pretty easily and sometimes you really have to look closely to see it is poplar. Catawba, the way I always heard people call it here in Pa. My mentor told me it was originally sold around here by salesmen, who said it would grow fast and look like mahogany. Back in the early days. My mentor was born in 1889 and remembered people talking about the mahogany trees. There is one close by me that must be between 4-5'. And there's a huge burl on the side. It's right by an old house and is quite beautiful. Thanks again and Blessings! DaveyJO
Love catalba butifull wood carvs nice machines easy and pretty stable to
I love your drone shots. A hill in Illinois is a highway overpass.
Can’t wait to see you tackle that Catalpa!!!
Hey Nate!! That is a nice Catalpa log but if you head up a bit further into the Midwest , Ohio, Indiana, Iowa and you’ll see Catalpa trees that will hit 60”. They grow the best drag gum fishing worms 🐛 that you can start picking bout this time of year if the frost didn’t get the blooms, lol 😜
I grew up in Ohio with those huge Catalpa trees and the best fish dinners, the worms were a special treat for those catfish and they could not resist
This was nice! And I was happy to see some of your overage finally making its way out of the saw shed & into its new space! (I love watching that cute white kitty!)---Atypical weather here, oven-hot, and some rare thunder for our coastal location.---I'm interested in seeing just what the chainsaw looks like, after that build-up!!!
Thanks appreciate you
That log is the typical size of what I mill with my double ended alaskan mill. I usually quarter them, it makes it easier to load on the band mill. I have learned to come in from both ends almost to the middle and leave a small piece (about 6 or 8 inches) uncut in the center. Then roll the log 90 degrees and cut it the whole length. I take another chainsaw and cut out the remaining 6 or 8 inches out of the two halves and its quartered without having to set up the rip guide again, and it holds together while you make the final cut. You have an awesome log there, friend! Best of luck to you with it!
I had a small catalpa tree cut years ago to see what it would look like,not to impressive until it drys and goes through the planer.
Daniel Arms told me to check this out. Amazing!
Thanks for coming
Great looking piece of lumber. Can't wait to see the slabs. Know how you feeling about the cats. Just went from 1 to 7. Yip our cat gave us six little surprises. 🐈 🇬🇧😽
As a reformed offbearer I can say dead white pine was my least-hated lumber to handle, then poplar. I liked the greens & purples in poplar.
Enjoy your videos. Keep them coming!
Scared the heck out of the cats. 0:35
I can't wait to see what that huge log looks like slabbed. Weather looks awesome in Tennessee.
Good morning from St John Parish, Louisiana 21 Aug 20.
👍👍👍👍
Would love to see you using that Alaskan saw mill to prep it for the woodmiser
That's what I always called it . Those trees draw a butterfly or moth that would lay eggs that turned into a catapiller about the size of a thumb and when I was living in Indiana all those many, many years ago we would use them for fish bait .
show in one of tour videos how a fresh saw blade goes on
Cats are appearing everywhere.
We call catalpa Flash wood. Burns Hot & Fast. Cut 1 cord catalpa, 3 oak. Pronounced "cut Al pa"
Can't wait to see more
We’ve always pronounced it kuh-tah-buh. The catalpa has larva worms which are great for fishing. Basically crack for panfish.
Catalpa,, I like catalpa,, beautiful covered in white flowers each spring. Great shade tree. Poplar wood,, is extremely stable once cured, cuts, sands, planes, shapes, easily and its true sterling quality is paint retention. If you are making moldings or trim boards that you are intending to paint,, interior primarily,, but exterior too. Use poplar. Paint loves to stick to poplar. My front doors,, made 30 years ago 2.25 inches thick,,, 3 feet wide, and 8 feet tall, a pair of huge French doors,, solid poplar. Has not moved even a 1/16th of an inch in 30 years. They always swing easy (a bit like swinging a vault door). All the baseboards in that house,, all the stair rails, spindles, balusters,, poplar. Outdoor fluted square columns,, poplar.
The pattern makers wood.
*shakes uncontrollably... KITTIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! God how I wish I could have a cat again.. It's been 14 years since mine died and my dad just doesn't want to deal with a cat box/litter anymore and there's already too many stray cats around for an outdoor one.. Besides the last stray we bonded with ended up with his hind thigh shattered by someone so I don't ever want to have to deal with that again.
Out here in Northern California in the Sacramento Valley the thing you'd have to worry about with leaving logs lay out is the damn scorpions. Sure there's black widow spiders and hobo spiders (basically a giant brown recluse) and all sorts of bees and wasps too but when my dad and I went out on base (he's retired Air Force and we live 10 miles from Beale Air Force Base) and got a couple truck loads of red oak rounds (pretty wood, stupidly hard to split.. the maul just bounces right back at you) they were LOADED with at least a few different types of baby scorpions. That's one thing I miss about Mississippi, no scorpions that I ever saw and far less spiders.. I'll take snakes, alligator snapping turtles and gators any day.
I milled a log that was 42" in diameter and 25' long about 3 months ago. I have a Timberwolf sawmill and it can handle it and even logs bigger than that. 48" max up to 29' long. That Kubota diesel engine is a horse to.
So lucky to have quality carving trees over your way.
I would imagine out of one tree there would be hardly any waste due to the demand from carvers and carving groups.
Catalpa is great turning wood; coffee color, stable, turns nice.
I’ll go with what you called that log. LOL 😂
Catalpa trees grow very large... aka Indian Bean Tree.
That is just a nice sized log for a Mobil Dennison or a mighty might saw mill the big ones that i've cut are only 44" and I could cut 6'-7' across the small end.
The only thing that board was missing was the rotational cut marks of a buzz saw, it's so fuzzy...
Cool beans
Anybody else think it would be fun to hang around for a few days, staying out of the way, but getting to scrape the dust off and toss the water on the fresh cuts? Every log has a hidden beauty never seen until its milled.. even this poplar.
Got to tell or retell a story, you see I listened to the old timers back when I was a pup. Old neighbor Tevis had a mill, as did his father before him. One day he was talking about catalpa wood. Said it was the best for a boat, light, fairly strong and rot resistant.
Back when I was carving some fishing lures I got a couple decent sized pieces and sealed up the ends and set them to dry. Should make a lure again, black bomber copy?
i got a woodland sawmill this spring and have put it to work i got a little over 55 hrs on it
I usually remember to hit the like after every video, but if you would remind everyone to hit the thumbs up each time that would help. Thanks
Sir what happened to the Catalpa tree that you were going to cut in half with the chainsaw with the 6 foot bar? I was looking forward to seeing you mill that log.
Beautiful music. Thanks.
Thanks buddy
“If you’re not following me on Instagram, you’re missing out.” Well honestly not really, I have never had Instagram and I ain’t missed much of anything yet.
Hey Nathan, what is the black cylinder thing in front of the saw blade? Looks to be about a foot tall and 6" in diameter. Can't wait to see the chainsaw mill unboxing!
debarker maybe?
@@OutoftheWoods0623 I've seen it move out of the way on a few cuts. It is right in front of the blade and the guides. I'm not a saw mill guy so I was just curious as to what it is. It is the black cylinder thing. Kinda looks like a starter standing on end.
You better make sure there's no kitties hiding in the kiln before you use it!
we call them topie worm trees around here Or some folks call them ktapa worm trees ..What ever works..lol. ! & That Is A Biggggg Tree
You gotta put something in that open light socket in the kiln control box. It's driving me crazy. Admittedly I'm a little OCD about safety. Thanks for all the videos!
Question for ya! I have a few standing oak trees. They have punk wood, rot, about an inch of 2ft round tree. Is it good to cut for lumber?
Wow that was a big log!! Cannot wait to see ya cut it up.
At this date it is late. But let me vent a bit anyway.
I think the numbers you quoted were 43 inch diameter and your mill throat was about 34. Rather than cut the Catulpa in half use the Alaska mill to square up to a Cant. You actually don't loos much in kerf. The kerf loss goes with the off cuts as you will set the edge of the kerf width on the outside of the cant. It wouldn't matter if the kerf were 6 inches thick you would end up with the same size cant.
You'll end up with about a 30 inch cant, could be a bit larger. If the log is a bit oval and doesn't fit the mill you will not need to take off many boards to make it fit and still the kerf loss is small.
Work the trig of a square inscribed in a circle and I think you will get the idea. SIN (45°) I think is what you are looking for. ~= .7 (very rought figure). 43*.7 should be the approximate size of the cant. +/- a bit for taper and what you want to do about waning.
That catalpa tree gets worms in it that eat the leaves. Great catfish bait. Some folks keep them just to harvest the worms.
Yes it does!
You can do it!
