  • This videos is of today's short day of sawing up a nice Black Walnut Log. Despite the rain I was able to get about 6 nice slabs out of this log before calling it quits.

    GORGEOUS. MY HEART SKIPPED A BEAT WHEN YOU POURED THE WATER ON IT TO EXPOSE THE GRAIN.
    LIKE A TREASURE HUNT.

    A great video. This came up on my recommended. Glad I watched it. I just sold my 47 wood acres. I had a lot of good hardwoods, and a derecho wind came through in 2011 and knocked down and broke off some premium walnuts, cherry & other great trees (130 mph winds for 1/2 an hour). I did hire a forestry consultant who walked the mess for 3 weeks, marking tree & itemizing everything for a bidding process. Went through the bid and it was logged out the next summer. The sawmill hired a Mennonite man to log, who was super to work with. Took 3 months to cut down/salvage 1,037 trees. It is a pleasure to see what the end product can be and is satisfying that I turned my lemons into lemonade. I ended up with 3 miles of trails, and lots of new trees growing. I took the state forester's advice and placed cardboard boxes with walnuts on the stumps throughout the timber to allow the squirrels to plant them for me. The tops on the ground helped protect the seedlings from the deer browsing. Sadly, I sold the property with its beautiful log home, but I am aging and a single woman taking care of all that was getting too much. A nice young family can now enjoy and make this their forever home. Thanks for the great video, and sharing the beauty of the bounty that trees provide.

      No mystery at all. Walnut is the most beautiful wood of all. Nearly all of the furniture I make is from walnut. I have been working walnut since my high school woodshop class (50 years ago) and I still get excited when I look at the grain, smell the wood as it is being worked, marvel as I fit pieces together so easily, and then watch the grain transform to something heavenly when I apply the oil finish. Oil and wax is all I ever use to finish walnut. Even when I go to Home Depot, I always stop at the walnut section in the lumber yard for a couple minutes to admire the wood. It is not the best quality walnut at Home Depot, but I am still amazed at how beautiful it is. Hope you enjoy this wonderful wood like I do.

    In Wyoming we have cottonwood, pine and aspen. Walnut is an expensive import, and walnut trees are abundant as unicorns. Watching you expose this indescribably beautiful creation is a truly spiritual experience. My friends look at me real funny when I tell them how much I enjoy watching videos of some stranger 1,500 miles away cot logs on a sawmill. But you expose glory. That never gets old, either.

      Absolutely. I'm here in Colorado and each one of those slabs would run in the several hundred dollar range, if not close to 1K per slab. There is no walnut to be found here and we have blue spruce, pine, aspen and cottonwood here as well. I've had friends of mine say there is Russian Olive in eastern Colorado, however I have never come across it. There was a small slab (maybe 12 inches by 36 inches) at my local hardwood shop and it was over $200 for that small piece of wood. People back east burn oak in their stoves and it is painful to watch!

    I used to be a tower crane operator in the UK and I did a few builds where we were using oak as frames for balconies and we used to get the wood from France sometimes when we were cutting it like this u would open it up and find musket balls embedded in it where during the various wars the uk and France had had they had shot at each other but hit the trees u could tell they were old as they were Brown Bess size musket balls and the tree had just grown around it

      Speaking of wood from France, at the time that Notre Dame was put up, the builders had to send for the roof beams from a pretty far distance, because there weren't enough trees of sufficient size left in the Paris area. I think that was around the year 1200.

    Amazing to see such a huge piece of valuable and rare Black Walnut.
    I've just recently moved onto a 12 acre homestead where 10 acres of it are forest. I've already planted 10 Black Walnut seedlings. (Next year I will plant even more). I will not live long enough to see them come to full maturity but somebody down the road will come to realize what a gift that is.

      Isn't walnut exceptionally rough on sawblades? I've worked it just a few times and it's unquestionably a very hard and heavy wood. It seemed like it ate up sawblades pretty fast. More than oak or maple in your experience?

    • @rudybigboote3883
      @rudybigboote3883 6 лет назад

      Pneumatic, walnut is really not that hard of a wood at all; it is really an easy wood to work with. I use it to make guitars and some wood art pieces. I found that it cuts well, planes well, and routers well. It is also very easy to carve and shape by hand using files and sandpaper. Overall this one of my favorite woods to work with.

    • @clarkschwenke1
      @clarkschwenke1 6 лет назад

      I’ve always loved it for carving, both for the aesthetics as well as the workability. I work a lot with endcuts, slab, and what most consider to be “firewood”, and it carves nice green as well as seasoned. I’ve found it with inclusions varying from purple to green within the heartwood. I use natural finishes and that doesn’t seem to affect it much either.

  • @kimcwhite6509
    @kimcwhite6509 6 лет назад +2

    Wow, thank you for this video! Viewing this gorgeous walnut brings back memories. My Great Grandfather was a Jouneyman Cabinet Maker who immigrated from Great Britain in the 1920's when my Grandmother was in her early 20's. She soon married & had my father, an only child. My Dad was babysat by Great Grandpa Hopper & he had my Dad work right alongside him. Mixing horse hoof glue, pedaling (no electricity) a wood lathe & making beautiful tables & jewelry boxes with mine being one he made at 81 yrs old. He collected the neighbor's trees when they chopped them down so seeing the grain got me so stoked! Like you said, it never gets old. What a rare piece of wood because there aren't many black walnut trees that live that long, straight & beautiful. They're mostly grafted here & back several generations with English Walnut for farm production. Thank you for sharing. What beautiful items may this tree make?

    • @dickhead8775
      @dickhead8775 6 лет назад +1

      Why are they grafted? Is it to do with black walnuts poisoning the soil?

    • @kimcwhite6509
      @kimcwhite6509 6 лет назад

      I'm not sure, but I think because they have a stronger root system? It's so sad to see almost all of the old walnut orchards getting ripped out for grapes. They do sell the lower trunk for $$ for burl, & sometimes they're stolen before the buyer can pick them up. I live in Lake County in Northern California & we used to be the 'Pear Capital of the World.' Sadly, most of the pears were torn out by the 90's for wine grapes. We have had 9 fires in 3 years & the Medocino Complex roared through & is still burning in the beautiful Mendocino forest as we speak.

    I know a lot of people don't like knots but I like them. I like the look. It's more difficult to work with and you really need to think about where the knot will land in the build but the looks is just amazing to me. Did my kitchen cabinets with pine and I kept some knots in there. It took a while to pick the wood though.

    • @grizzlygrizzle
      @grizzlygrizzle 5 лет назад +1

      I like knots, too, as long as they're sound knots and there aren't too many of them. Once, I found a very sound knot that looked like the planet Saturn, and I saved it for a prominent place on the main entry stairwell handrail in a house I was building.
      -- For projects for my own use (bookcases, an occasional cabinet, built-in shelves for odd corners) I use salvage lumber or unfinished bookcases that people throw away. I'll admit to using wood with loose knots which I have worked free and then glued back in place. It's kind of a strange hobby, making nice things out of garbage. When I was younger I took in a lot of strays, both 2- and 4-legged. I guess it's a sympathy for the underdog and the underrated.

    Very satisfying video. I just learned the other day from my 86 year old mother that the house she described living in as a child was actually part of a logging camp.
    She had mentioned the house on numerous occasions previously, but it was just the other day when her older brother, my uncle, was visiting that the fact came up that it was in a logging camp. I think more precisely(?), it was a sawmill camp. The men would cut down some trees, haul them to the sawmill, cut them up, and trucks would come pick up the lumber and take it to a mill for further processing.
    I still have relatives in the business not too far from my mother's childhood home in the camp. I think back in the day oak was the mainstay, with cedar also. The sawmill was a large circular saw run off of a truck using belts for power takeoff.
    Most of my family are city dwellers now.

    Nathan.... if you will take a fresh cut off the end of the log (just a few inches with the chainsaw) before you saw it, your blades will last twice as long. I usually cut them while they are in the lifting cradle. That first few inches into a dry log really stresses the blade at the gullet....and we all know blades will make you or break you!!

    This is one of things in life that appreciate. The work involved in felling a tree, trimming the branches, and cutting it to length is super hard work. One has to be very skilled and safe at doing this or death is possible. Also, the equipment involved is not cheap either. The milling machine looks like the enjoyable part of this work.
    So when I go to a lumberyard and look at all the fine species of wood to create whatever I desire, I always appreciate the work involved to get it to the point of a slab for sale.

    I used to own a wood-mizer sawmill, it wasn't fancy like yours everything was manual except the forward and reverse and up and down.

      David, I also thought gold coins or something was under the bark. Perhaps hidden and buried near the tree long ago and the tree grew around them bringing them up out of the ground. Just like trees that grow around metal fences, forgotten bicycles and things like that. A visitor at Pawn Stars had an antique 1800's, single action revolver inside of an old cottonwood log. Fascinating stuff.

But life just didn't work out to where I could financially put it all together, So my wife just hung it up as another one of my pipe dreams. So I just pass the info I had on to someone that was financially able to put the pieces together. I never heard if he made a go of it or not...
