OK. Do you know Brian Boggs? He used to be in Brea, Kentucky, but now is in Asheville, North Carolina.
He and others would love to see your slabs. He does wood work of the highest level.
l have made several kitchen cabinets sets out of poplar it is easy to work with + it takes stains very well....Of course it is soft but saves the customer quite bit of money....Thanks so much...!
Beautiful!! From darkness to light like your song says
I made a little end table in shop class in the year 1976. Poplar. I still have it. Beautiful black streaks. Yep, I got an 'A'. 👍 Shop teacher offered to buy it.
The song used at 12 minutes in reminded me of twin peaks. Absolutely surreal. Both the twin peaks series and this video were about sawmills.
Late watching this one but I loved it. I've loved wood ever since I took shop in 7th grade. The look and the smell got to me. The music was wonderful too.
Great tunes !!!!!!!!!!!!
After 5 decades of YES and Pink Floyd, the music here is some of the most serene, bountifully beautiful I have heard. I like the sawing, I love the aerial's but the editing and music are really why I am here. Thanks.
Very nice job on the video Nathan. I especially like showing what was made out of your boards.
This was fun to watch today going back to your old LT40 and the big differences to the LT70 you run now. Feature sets, automations, the hydraulic positioners and flipping mechnism the capacity difference. even the pusher. Like a trip down memory lane.! Not to mention about 6 inches on that beard ZZ Top!
I like your videos .love when you take bruno for his nightly ride.
What a fine video Nathan! I Love watching the great saw showing us what's inside those logs. And your taste in music is always great and also waiting to show your guitar work as well. Happy Sawing! DaveyJO in Pa.
Nice video, and nice machine.
That's some beautiful equipment.
thanks, years of hard work to buy all it, debt free,
thanks for watching,
Wow that's awesome find
I didn't realise that Poplar could be so beautiful. The veining and spalting were a revelation.
Of all the words available to describe Poplar, "beautiful" isn't one of them (and capitalisation matters en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poplar%2C_London).
Love poplar the greens and purples are so beautiful. Makes nice siding.
Now I know what that top piece is made for... Showing off the ability to shove the last cut back, Nice!
👍
Love the song. I worked it up for my file. My ukulele class loves it. Thjanks.
Beautiful slabs.
When i first saw that log i thought, I know what kind of wood that is.... FIREWOOD ! But as usual I was wrong😡 You pulled some good looking planks from inside that log, it just goes to show knowledge is everything when it comes to sawing. Great stuff again Nathan, thanks. 🏴
thanks John,
when you mentioned telling what it was b the smell. reminded me that I wish I could have been there when you cut the sassafras , that has to be my favorite wood smell . can still remember being a kid in the Kentucky hills and running across a tree and peeling just a bit of bark for that smell
Once again Nathan, you find something from possibly nothing. Also, thanks for sharing "I Go Blind" again. I think that tune is synonymous with your channel. Both are perfect! Thanks again and keep sawing!
I started sawing back in 93. Its still a thrill to open up those logs even now. You never know what you're going to get.
never gets old,
Kind of like a box of chocolates.
Poplar can be stained to look just like walnut. I was part of trimming a 10000 sq ft home in oakbrook Illinois they used poplar for the interior trim then the builder my friend Vaughn got together with the painters and mixed a stain that made poplar look just like walnut. The trim in the home turned out stunning
I have seen cabinet doors made from mostly heartwood poplar, finished with a neutral finish, that were both attractive and distinctive due to the green(ish) coloring.
Nathan your Amazing with your New Sawmill Keep them logs Coming Brother, Wow that's some very Wood
I could smell it as soon as you said it was Poplar- matched a lot of it at Conestoga Wood Specialties
Nice poplar 4/4 boards. I use 4/4 poplar on several millwork jobs, especially if the finished product would be painted. Have a great weekend Nathan and the family. I appreciate your posts.
The slab you highlighted was awesome. It made me think that you get to see/expose some amazing natural beauty! Happy holidays from the great white North ... all the best.
Same to you!
Been following for a while..love your grain reveals...some stunning cuts !
Great camera angles / views. Nice look with the black striations. Very smelly !
We see a lot of poplar here in southern Indiana. The green oxidizes when exposed to air and becomes a more brownish green, eventually turning brown over time. Not a bad wood, just soft.
BTW, I've never seen spalted poplar. Interesting.
Very cool
Your new mill is the bomb great salvage log
At 6:46 I had to stop and rewind to understand what I was seeing. The "pull back" lever was actually pushing!
That green figure looked real nice. It surprised me that I liked it.
Thanks for posting.
Thanks for watching 👍👍
Thank you the peaceful video. ♥️👍
Interesting info and reveal lesson on old logs, thanks for a great look at old poplar!
I always love seeing what's hiding under the bark!
And what a beautiful piece of wood. WOW!
I guessed it might be poplar before you said it. One of my favorite woods . . . I use it a lot for turning and box making projects. It becomes spalted and with all those colors it makes for a real pretty bowl. Finishes well and is relatively easy to work with and it's very common here. I am truly surprised it held up that well. Down here in Mississippi, it would be a total loss after being on the ground that long. Enjoyed the video.
Reminds me a lot of the spalted pear wood that my late father used to use for his intarzia pictures.
Loved your film. Wonder how much good timber was wasted on firewood because it looked rough on the outside. I would encourage anyone that is able and not lazy to get one of these woodmizer sawmills if only for lumber for themselves. If I was younger and not so crippled up I'd just have to have one! Thanks again for bringing us these films and love the music!
Very nice log after all Nathan. Incredible amount of time on the ground and I'm surprised too that it's not rotted more but over all it's pretty good.
Poplar my favorite wood for hand tools. Your right on the geound poplars no good but off the ground last a long time plenty of 200yr old log cabins still standing made of poplar
I found some pine at Home Depot with a lot of spalding (sp?). Made great drawer sides with lots of color.
Glad you put a name to that song, I often have it in my head, nice work by the way.
That old wood's got some character to it! Great vid as always.
thanks David
I just remembered how I found your channel, the title said found some gold hidden under the bark, got to the end and thought there no gold nuggets but damn this guy knows how to mill some beautiful slabs, that was a year or 2 ago never missed an upload since
thanks Ben,
@@OutoftheWoods0623 thank you for sharing the journey
That is funny Ben, I think it was that same video that got me hooked here. Gold in the title made it land in my suggested videos list.
I knew it was poplar from the title...'Green Gold'. Some fine boards, Nathan!
Great content, outstanding production!
I knew the minute you cleared the saw dust on that first cut it was poplar! It has a distinctive look to it and is used a lot for fillers in the cabinet industry. Also used for hangers and back rails when attaching cabinetry to the wall. Another thing about good, kiln dried poplar is it takes and holds paint really well. So for painted cabinet bodies it works real good too. Whatever's done with it I'd put it inside somewhere. Attach the boards to the walls inside the barn or shop then put some sort of hangers on it to hold drop cords, ropes, chains or anything you want to hang up and keep off the floor.
Oh, I thought that was a nice post you cut the other day for you barn too. Timber frame you call it. I've also heard it referred to as post and beam. Good, strong construction no matter what you call it.
I Really enjoy the b roll and video of underneath the saw.
-Will
nice look pile of lumber ya got there,,, thanks fer the video
thanks Russ,
That's so cool and I was thinking about what the slabs look like after you have dry them
Im drooling looking those stack of raw board
those boards are pretty as can be! makes me want to go out cut some poplar, throw it on the ground and come back in 4 years. they look to be of pretty good quality
Very nice poplar ,to me it’s a very useful wood I have a table top I made form poplar edged in cheery came out nice.
Wow, stunning colours.
indeed, turned out great, thanks for watching,
That green will turn a mellow brown over time and exposure to air.
Nice log you saved there. That juniper slab is cool at the end!!!haha. Keep up the great work!
yep that guy has a good eye,
Damn, that's some highly charactered poplar!
With the bark off and a sunny area poplar will last a while. I have some popular now that been sitting for a few years, bark off and it's still solid.
That dodie wood is purty for knife handles. Solid when stabilized. Stained pale blue or purple!
I was thinking maple at first before you cut it. Looks good for laying on the ground for 4 years.
I love that spalting
At 12:40 .......WOW! That would make a great bookmatch!
Thank you
thanks for watching,
My Honey said It's weird I watch this Chanel",Asked me what all the "Crotch talk" is about,LOL
You lucked out with that log. It has nice color to it. It would finish up nice. Love your video's.
Just so you know, poplar is commonly used in solid body guitars. I am a custom guitar designer and builder, also a painter of guitars. My profession is auto body repair and guitars is my hobby, which I enjoy very much. I think there would be plenty of guitar makers down in TN that would be interested in some poplar. So if you cut your lumber into 9 1/4 boards, I think any guitar builder would like to take them off your hands, at a price of course. It sure would be nice to see some guitars made with lumber from your mill, just say'in. Like your channel and enjoy your videos.
Thankyou for introducing “I Go Blind” to us all way back when I searched to hell n back to find it after hearing it on yr videos way back. Great you gave credit at the end....hope it pays for them.
Been spending hours watching cut after cut on your mill thinking am I weird doing this?
not at all, saw on!
you should make a song with the sounds of your sawmill, we call it the woodmizer blues..:D
was wondering how long a tree has to sit after being cut down-before you can saw it into usable lumber? after sawing-how long does it need to sit before using? By the way, love watching you work on your mill-wish I had starting working in wood about 20 yrs ago or even longer and I would be pretty good by now.
❤
I have been sawing since 1957 and I have never seen a chestnut oak, of course I only have sawed In Maine and Wyoming. In Maine sawed oak, birch, white and yellow, shag bark hickory, hemlock fir pine and spruce. only things that grow in the northen states. Wyoming it is pine fir and spruce.
In answer to your question, it depends on the species... on the rainfall, etc... I have harvested western Red Cedar that had stumps over 8' across growing over it... over 400 years laying on the ground...
Ha! Never judge a tree by its missing bark. 😉
Nice colour on that wood, it's always interesting to see what colour they are inside - I always used to think wood was a pale shade of brown, well not any more!
@Paul Pflaum I am indeed! British, from the land of the valiant 'U'. 😊
@Paul Pflaum That's actually quite difficult to answer. I grew up on the edge of the West country, where traditionally they say "ooooooh aaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrr" a lot but my father was a Londoner (though not a Cockney) and my mother was from even further east so I didn't acquire a strong accent. Then I went to a school where they ironed out any trace of an accent so I do talk a bit like the BBC - except these days they allow any old accent on the BBC so it no longer talks like me! Plus these days I live in the East Midlands but the accent's not as strong as the West Midlands so I escaped that. But I've never said "Harummph" in my life!
Very nice! What is the moisture content on those boards?
Can you show cutting 1/4” boards? I do scrollsawing & use a lot of 1/4”
One thing I noticed about the beginning of this vid. The opening Logo with your name is very bright white. I liked the older darker version of this. The darker has more mystic to it when paired with the music. Hope you use the old logo version again. Other than that.. great stuff as usual.
Those, Sir, are sun checks. It happens when a log is simply left outside.
I thought it looked like poplar when you opened the first cut, but then I thought "Nah, it can't be; he just said that poplar would rot if it was this old."
Funny how some of those rows of bug holes look ruler-straight. (5:34) I'm not used to seeing bug holes that look like that.
I'm totally with you in really liking that song "I Go Blind."
Chuckle....the smell is alot like dog "output" . I can tell you were an officer by the "smooth top" comment. Friend is an officer on Alabama. Thanks for the video.
Nice video
thanks
Do you know BRIAN BOGGS?
He was in Brea, Kentucky and now he is in Asheville, North Carolina.
He and others would love your exquisite slabs.
He does fantastic wood work of the highest order.
yeah good guy about a hour from here, been to his shop a few times,
I'm wondering whether the usable lumber from this log could be used right away. It looks good to go in the video.
Beautiful wood in that old log. Interesting to know if you checked the moisture in the log?
I did not, should have though,
I guess there was no need to dry the lumber. Nice looking pieces came out of that.
Nice and straigth though
Out of curiosity what would the moisture content be on the log that has been on the ground for 4 years: Does it qualify as air dried?
Greg Taylor I’m wondering this too. I gotta think it still needs to dry some but it’s probably most of the way there
You have a gold mine sitting in the back.
You said there were questions about how long a log can lay on the ground. Don't you think that would depend on the species of wood, how old it was and its condition when the tree came down and the conditions of the ground ( wet or dryer ground, mostly shady, mostly sunny)? Might be a dumb question but you don't know if you don't ask.
Doing best I can. Can’t cover everything
4 years!...we get it..
4 years
4 years
4 years
Incase you forgot 😂😂😂
Closing song: "I go blind when I try to find yew..."
Let's hope not, eh?
Gday Nathan an amazing log that! Mate can I ask you if you’re going to mill all the lumber for the shed first or are you going to mill as you go. I’m asking only because I’m keen to see the way you go about starting and building it. Thanks as usual mate. 🇦🇺
Would you treat that wood with borates to prevent bugs from infecting your other wood while drying?
Looks like the dog is to be sawn up next lol.
Question - will the green tint in the wood stay or will it go away after the wood dries??
did you check the mosisture on the boards would like to know ,nice boards.
I was wondering about a tree ID.. I'm in SC thought I had a shahbark hickory... milled it up and found something that confused me. Idk if it's hickory or pecan or what.. Thought maybe you could help. Figured only someone on a mill would have seen this. If I can send you some pics and get some input on this that be great. Thanks
your best option is call your local forestry office, they will help you for nothing, very good people
In my neck of the woods any log that has been on the ground that long would be mulch. Does not take long for the termites to find any wood laying on the ground.
Where is that?
The shelf life of a log is totally dependent on the environment and the species of the tree it came from.
agreed
