I worked at a cottonwood mill in the 80s and at that time cottonwood was the number one exported hardwood from the USA. We sold grade cottonwood to a furniture manufacturer that made magazine racks for Sears. The odds are any furniture that says "walnut" stained or "pecan" stained will actually be cottonwood. Lots of it is used for pallets, Soles of foundry workers shoes used to be cottonwood. Excellent STRONG framing lumber. Where I live, it any house was built before 1900 if was built from local cottonwood
The operator was sharing some very good knowledge; if his volume was higher it would've been an excellent archive of milling, but the techno music tended to override him.
For some stupid reason, people who produce videos think viewers don't want to here "the natural environment" the same as they heard it when they were recording the video. Music is just bad in videos.
Yeah ok thanks. We use the cottonwood for pallets also. I also use it for framing lumber to build sheds.. It works well if you nail it in right off the sawmill and don't let it sit around.
@@brentbell9543 nope I’ll stick to Douglas fir , ponderosa pine , sugar pine , white fir , silver tip fir western red cedar western incense cedar or even western white pine before I use cotton wood. Even oak is better than cotton wood
T can say this fella knew what he’s doing running that saw
Oh looks like a beautiful sawmill and nice wide blade. 🇨🇦
The equipment is great .
Love those Cleerman’s

This could have been a great video. Sadly, the music ruined hearing the mans words. Sigh...
Sorry about that
Too bad about the music. Wrecked it for me.
Sorry
Why would anyone want to mill cottonwood a garbage tree when there are better types of wood that can be used.
Cheap, easy to find, lots of bdft/tree. Sure there's nicer and easier stuff to work with but cottonwood is useable

@@danrobsonjr247 I just explained to you why people use it. You don't have to like cottonwood, and that's fine. Everything I said was the truth
@@brentbell9543 He's a troll, not a woodworker.
Try to sell cottonwood for firewood and you really get attitude.
The sawyer doesn't know how to grade saw very well.
WTF is the annoying music for ?
