I was waiting for Lucy to try and jump onto your shoulder, looked like she was pretty tempted to give it a go!
Crazy cat 🐈
I had my hands and voice reflexively ready to yell and catch her...phew, I just knew Nathan was gonna get it, right on camera...uff da!
How could any cat resist all that sawdust!?!
Benjamin Voetberg me too, was watching kitty waiting..
I was thinking the same thing...lol....👍😺👍
I didn’t know that I missed seeing black walnut. Boy does this log come to life. It is interesting to see other trees grain structure, color and etc. Black walnut is the best.
Sorry we all missed your early comments watching Lucy lining up for a leap behind your line of sight
I completely missed what he said. I was transfixed watching the cat.
Who is that bearded guy on Lucy's channel?
I love that your cats are featuring more and more :)
Was waiting for Lucy to take a flying leap onto his back hahahaha
Superior expertise ; I was totally impressed ! I was the sawyer at a Chip-N -Saw Mark IV Saw Mill for six years. I averaged 80 thousand board feet per 10 hour shift of lumber and had a maximum production of 128 thousand bf in a 10 hour shift .
Your introduction was
impressive : so was your rationale when explaining your decisions on cutting the lag .
Therefore, I subscribed to your excellent blog .
Some of your cutting off of the knots should have been one inch because short pieces of black walnut could have been used for making valuable small projects : jewelry boxes and short trim .
That log made some one of the most impressive cuts that I have ever seen ! Salute !!
Got milk? Hee, hee. That Lucy shore is friendly and cute. I too, thought she was gonna leap to your shoulder just to get more attention. Nice log, I'll be waiting for the finale!👍👍
I love your channel. Your knowledge and explanations of how and why you cut the logs certain ways is something I really appreciate. White pine, Black walnut...it takes all kinds. So, check this out...I love the music at the end of this video (and what you play in many of your videos), but not because I'm a fiddle player or banjo picker. I play trumpet and trombone; grew up in the suburbs of Chicago; played in rock bands covering Chicago, Blood Sweat and Tears, and Tower of Power; went to college for my music degree in Chicago; played in big band jazz bands and bombastic orchestras playing Bruckner, Mahler, and Wagner. For over 40 years people have asked me 'what is your favorite kind of music?'. My answer has always been 'There are two kinds of music. Good music and bad music. I like good music.' I would recommend your channel as a source of good music any day! Come for the sawmill, stay for the music. Or vice versa!
my fav music might surprise some, I listen to everything from Johnny Cash, to Led Zeppling, Tool and classical, I have no fav genre, just like you said good music, great songs have no classification,
appreciate you watching,

I love you appreciate and respect the timber you cut. How about a video describing the parts and workings of your mill for us gearheads?
This is amazing! Ahh, your cat Lucy is like..."Mr. DeMille, I'm ready for my closeup". What does one board go for if it is perfection plus?
I have cut very freshly downed walnut logs and when you first cut them, they have a color that I can only describe as the most beautiful violet/green you have ever seen in your life. However, in just a few moments changes to the usually associated with walnut, brown. It is a fleeting moment that you see that very unique color combination that cannot be adequately duplicated anywhere else. It is really something to behold. Let me know if you have ever seen this happen.
I remember many years ago reading that folks back in the day who were working by hand, pit sawing for fine furniture, etc., got to where they could look at the bark and tell a lot about the wood inside the log so they didn't waste effort on so-so wood when they wanted furniture grade and didn't waste fine wood on boxes, etc. I noted the twist in much of the bark in that walnut. Kind of interesting sort of thing to study in the future. There is crotch figure and then there is crotch figure, and there can be glory in the rest of a piece of wood as well. Something I am enjoying watching as well as learning about the basics of running a saw mill. I do know the old boys could walk out and fell a maple for the best fiddle back figure, for instance, just by looking at the bark. (I made a couple of violins back when I could still hear.)
"didn't waste fine wood on boxes, etc" :: someone once found two goods pallets made of walnut wood.
Good american small business at work. By american. Good looking stuff brother
thanks Cody, appreciate it, Magnolia is next then Butternut,
Nice cant wait
I learn something every time I watch thank you so much for your teaching!!! Take care !!!
thanks Ken,
That hurricane, to me, looked like a skeletal hand reaching for a door knob.
It was hilarious watching Lucy trying to decide whether or not to attempt a jump into your shoulder.
While I certainly see the eye of the storm in the wood, I can also see the eye of an octopus (or of a whale) too. Truly a gorgeous piece of wood! Thanks for your videos.
looks like a bird to me
That slab with the hurricane eye is one of the prettiest you shown.
I agree! That was absolutely gorgeous and all I could hear after the water was poured on he slab was the slot machine emptying itself into all the buckets I would need for my walnut gold!
Lucy looked like she wanted to pounce on you at the beginning! 😂 White pine bark has totally different look than the yellow pine. Very similar look on the inside though. I enjoy the video. 👍👍
yes, white also has less pitch on the boards, very stable stuff, enjoy working with it,
Out of the Woods - good to know. Thanks for the insight.
Excellent video, beautiful walnut and great music. Watching you on the night shift. Everything here in lockdown. Keep up the good work. 👍🏴
Thanks buddy
You're lucky that little puma didn't attack your skull.
Cause it was about to!
Nathan you have definitely taught us that White Pine is nicer than Yellow Pine. It even has a nicer grain.(imho)
Black is right for that Walnut!
Really beautiful!
Since I first watched your show I’ve seen a few others. You certainly do the best of informing us as to the lumber and your thoughts on positioning the cuts to get the best. I always enjoy your presentation. Thanks for a good job.
Thanks 👍
That Lucy Cat looks like she wants to jump onto that hat of yours!
Nathan, if keeps raining down here in the Tri-Cities likek it has been you might have to start sawing Timbers to build an ark. Lol
ant that the truth,
Just visit Kentucky. They already got an ark.
Love your cats, bonus feature of you videos.
Something to watch on TV. This is right up there with Gunsmoke :)
The man who never makes a mistake-never makes anything!!
agreed
It's alot easier to learn when you make mistakes.
Agreed
A mistake can be turned into a learning experience .
A Porter A mistake NOT turned into a learning experience is a complete waste.
Lucy looks like a hard worker around the mill
she puts me behind, very neeeeedy cat, mama was in the house,
Have you ever tracked where some of that awesome crotch figured walnut ends up? I’d love to see some of the finished products coming out of the slabs you are cutting.
Nathan, your excitement is infectious, and I can appreciate everyone else's enjoyment of that crazy-looking walnut log. The innards are truly among the most spectacular you've ever opened!---But, I'm unabashedly excited when I see the knotty pine get exposed!!!
thanks Alana, appreciate you, take care out there,
@@OutoftheWoods0623 Appreciate the wishes. Still seeing patients, adding layers of protection for all of us. (I'm loving my rain, even being out in it, but I'm not seeing anyone on dirt roads this month!)
Your looking sharp...matching hat with suspenders, pants and cool looking shirt.
Right on Nathan 👍 I'm like a few others. I kept waiting for the cat to leap on you😂
😂😂😂😂
I thought the cat was gonna jump on your back
me2 she has before
Nathan, I'd watch the next 20 videos if all you were cutting was pine. Love to see what's inside and that ole sawmill workin. It's a joy for me. And since I'm not buying a sawmill, I have delight watching yours. A surprise in every log, just like Cracker Jack! Thanks Kindly! Blessings and Good Health to All there on the home stead! DaveyJO in Pa.
thanks buddy,
whats the max length log you can mill on your mill
20ft
Good news is, we have slight chance of rain and warm temps starting Friday. Nice time to be working outside
I am in the lumber business in British Columbia, fir hemlock red and yellow cedar. used to dealing with big logs and it surprises me how small some of the pcs you work are. what value would you have extracted from that walnut pc?
W run a 24' LT40 and a Timberpro modified to cut up to 60'.
All that Sawdust would be great for cold smoking Hams,Sausages and bacon. Cold smoking is smoking without heat. The Sawdust is just dampened hence creating less fire and more smoke.
i would be interested in any Burls you cut up..Any unusual figuring from Hard woods..these would become Guitars eventually
sorry, you were talking, but there was a cat.......bla bla bla cat..... bla... cat... cat... cat.....
Just a personal comment here. I enjoy listening to you explain things to us, so we can learn. However, with Lucy walking back and forth on the drying racks and looking a bit
unsettled, I found myself watching her so intently that I wasn’t paying ANY attention to what YOU were saying. I’m sure that’s not what you want. As much as she’s a beautiful and wonderful little creature, you might want to keep her out of the picture so she isn’t detracting from what you are saying. Love your videos as they are very interesting
and informative. Nothing better than the beauty of wood!!
@1:55 Lucy Cat seriously contemplates jumping onto your back. For a full minute.
When you were discussing about removing timber, it made me think about the movie Hell, or Highwater, when Jeff Bridges and his partner go into the West, Texas restaurant, and the old old woman comes up and says what don’t you want? And they looked at her like she was crazy and they said what?? and she said what don’t you want you either don’t want the corn or you don’t want the beans! In milling, you look at the log and say, what part of that log do I NOT want? Then you cut away the parts that you don’t want.
I see an awesome gun stock
You beat me to it. I was also thinking guitar or bass. I would love that piece for a rifle stock.
That was a close one, Nathan. She had you dead-to-rights, all lined up. I've lived with a missile-cat before and you just can't turn your back on them when their at eye level.
Your mill being a cantilevered mill, do you have any problems with the outboard side thickness variations, or float?
It certainly was a very apt description when you used Hurricane to describe this timber grain Nathan. What brilliant slabs, slabs that will be worth a LOT of money. Cheers on that one mate, Don from South Australia.
WOW great video thank you for sharing your work I would love just to have your offcuts back in the UK it's so hard & expensive to get good wood
Happy Easter & be safe
Regards
Steve UK London
You are so welcome!
Ive heard that phrase about sculpting....remove what is not the finale piece.
by watching I can figure out the differen't words meanings, but I cant figure out "cant"
Really like watching you work. You appear to be the honest, good hearted person portrayed in southern raised people. I was thinking about if you installed a ceiling exhaust fan above the mill. It would cut down on the noxious exhaust, help keep your ceiling from being coated over time with the sooty exhaust, provide you with healthier breathing air and cut down on needing more and brighter lighting as the ceiling reflexes less due to the darling from exhaust smoke. Just a thought but you could install a couple of furnace disposable filter at the intake area, that would keep out unwanted things like bugs. Cats, rodents all while you get cooling air whether the breeze is blowing or not. I know you have a list a mile long of things you want or need to do but there seems to be a lot of benefits with this one. Stay safe my friend.
i like watching your videos --- it is fascinating the quality of wood beneath its exterior --- i am wondering about the different trees you mill --- the fruits and nuts and others --- this black walnut tree makes me curious if you can smell the black walnut in the wood as you mill --- or if you can smell apple or cherry or any wonderful smells for the different trees --- thanks for the interesting videos you provide
Am I the only one that sees the toucan in flight at 16:52? Very interesting piece of wood!
Why cut the walnut in half? Can’t you do the complete log?
Mark Lengal the crotch on the far end wasn’t lined up with bottom. Would have lost they figure. Good ??
Didn't hear a single word you said for the first 3 minutes. All I saw and was waiting for was the cat getting ready to pounce on your back, rofl.
You have more fun being stuck inside than anyone else, Thanks for sharing ...
Wait... wait... is it a mistake if you catch it before it causes damage 🤔 not in my book, some of the words are in Hawaiian so not everyone will get it...
Love that cat and the walnut!
I think Black Walnut is absolutley fabulous.
I have to boards here and I also have a giant BW tree in my yard.
Clearly , you know what your doin . That black walnut looks beautiful . Well done friend .
Thanks 👍
Maybe it is just my monitor, but I see blue, green and purple tones in that wood. If you see the same colors, is there a bit of spalting going on, or is that the product of mineralization peculiar to your region.
I am a wood turned who loves to watch you reveal the beauty hidden in those ugly old logs. When I turn wood it never gets old. It's like opening presents when you cut and reveal all that figure. Love it.
Does the white pine in your erea shatter when its dropped ? Around my erea its hybrid from paper mills to grow quick but it falls apart when its dropped
There was some awesome grain in that wall nut. I’m sure the wood turning group and carpenters would love to get their hands on some of it. Would you tell us the difference in the board foot selling price between the walnut and the white pine you milled just before the walnut.
16.57 Yes ha ha man that's Tshirt design stuff rite there... ...
Great to see those big beautiful slabs in the background knowing they will end up in furniture.
Beautiful grain figure in both pieces. Thank you for sharing this experience!
I didn't know that you could cut a post out of a log without the pith running through the center, so now I know I can get more than one post out of every log. Thanks. I need a lot of post, so now I can get at least 4 post out of every log. 👍
great video, looked like a hurricane,
Everyone makes mistakes.
I made a good mistake on my sawmill last week. I hit the log stop with the blade and destroyed the saw blade.
Good morning from St John Parish, Louisiana 28 Jan 21.
Has it ever occurred to you to get a planer to surface the lumber you mill, or even better, a molder?
I often see you throw away and burn logs too long on the ground that are insect infested or starting to rot. Why don’t you have covered log storage with logs off the ground on waste wood beams so your logs don’t get ruined.
That 'eye' reminded me of Van Gogh's painting 'Starry Night'. 😊
I really wanted Lucy to jump! 😁
👍👍👍
Damn that is some beautiful wood!!!!
So the crotch is where the money is. That explains a lot of things!
I see why your sawdust is like powder, cut faster, use some more horsepower.
I bet that black walnut smelled absolutely heavenly when being cut!
Yes 👍👍
That black walnut is drop dead gorgeous
Pounce Lucy, pounce! There's BOUND to be a mouse in that beard!!! :D
Nice vid(s), I can almost taste the air in there. Greetings from Sweden!
Thanks! 😃
That's a GORGEOUS log. Would love to make some guitars from that one...
I'll take one of those guitars!
What company did you use for steel table legs
Pretty sure 9:30 is he nicest way to say, "think about what the F you are doing before you do it"! Sounds just like my Pops and I love ie it!
agreed
I'm always jealous of the stuff you get to mill!
appreciate you watching,
Wonder if you could cross-promote with a high-skill you tube woodworker in your area. You could cut and they could create something. They could tell us what they think of your cutting and show finished projects with some of your wood.
Just nobody who relies on epoxy resin. There’s too much plastic in this world already.
agreed
What an ugly log! I should know not to judge a book by it's cover......well done.
Agreed
Really really like that walnut cut on first log..
The black walnut grain was just beautiful
What a rifle stock that would have made!!! 😢
You had some gorgeous grain there, in that walnut! Just lovely! Thank you for explaining why you make the cuts. As a layman, it certainly helps with understanding what is happening! 😀
Thanks for watching
I disagree your cutting end grain and then the branch is side grain
Honest to God, that really looks like a satellite view of a hurricane! That is SO COOL! That is something you want use where it can be seen - top of a desk, or a counter, or maybe a front door! What was the line in that poem by Kilmer, "But only God can make a tree." Nice job, God!
Nathan those are beautiful boards. There are so many uses for those boards.
I appreciated what you said about yielding the best boards from logs when I visited the mills such as Andersen Windows, Morgan Company in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. Also, I was involved in production with ROW Window Company in Rockdale, Illinois. In some cases, they got shop grade lumber in by the carload. Now, I'm involved with a mill that specializes in cutting hard maple from logs for flooring. I love the smell of sawdust.
Hello from North Alabama, we usually get the weather a few hours before y'all do. Trees are a lot like people, going through a few storms in life makes you more interesting on the inside
well said,
O my God the best Wood my eyes looking at this.
16:49 that would make a very nice guitar top.
I agree with the patterns however , spruce would carries the sound much better acoustically than the hard wood of black walnut .
That wood is insanely beautiful 🤩
This is an example of the skills that was everyday back in the day, and today, nobody at a sawmill gets it, the spillage is enourmous. Luck that the paper plants and the wood-pellets mills atleast can use the spill.
appreciate that,
