Black walnut tends to split a lot, the best you can do is get one of the splits into one board, and just get half width boards out of the rest.

So happy to see a new video! Love your channel! Tom Ireland

👍👍👍 *Thank you for this content!* From what I saw through a quick google search, I was under the grossly mistaken impression that _any honey that can be poured is highly processed._ I love the dark honey that I am getting from western NC and was concerned about that honey being diluted. _I saw a photo of their property, where workers were pouring something into a hive from a gallon jug, and thought this was sketchy._ Maybe this is part of hive maintenance.

Build a steamer and steam the boards. Turn that white sapwood into dark like the heartwood. Less waste. :)

I've missed this content. Love to watch it, but I know it's a selfish desire. Hope seminary is going well for you and that the family is doing well!

Great video! Luv the channel and seeing your son! He has a creative mind! Nice boards too! Jesus creates beautiful things!

Hey Wes, great to video. About the cedar artwork. I preserved rough sawn eastern red cedar for a bathroom project by using marine epoxy. Thinking you could use some clear spray enamel to lock it in then protect with epoxy. Don't know if the smooth texture is what you are after, but will definitely lock in the character of the boards. Recommend you experiment to see if you like the look on a scrap piece. Thanks for sharing.

Wes, I've always had good results from sta-bil fuel stabilizer. Pray seminary is progressing well. Always a blessing to hear from you!

I thank God that He is first in your life and it’s cool that you’ve been attending Seminary School but it is so good to see some new videos. Hope to see more in the future! Praying for ya bud!

Nice to see Wes back on the farm. Beautiful walnut. Your son enjoys being with you whatever you're doing.

26:13 What a gorgeous black walnut lumbers it's...

😊😊😊

Spend time with your kid... don't worry about making youtube videos.

Last I knew you moved, glad your back. Or old video.

You did a fantastic job bring this old beauty back to life.

Thanks for another great video! How long are you back on the farm for?

Instead of a knife, there is a scraping tool to take the caps off and you don’t waste any honey or wax. Loved the video! God bless!

The simplest, easiest and most accurate method to determine the age of any tree? These books can give you a lifetime of information about trees and the essential role they play in the very existence of homo sapiens on this planet. Without trees we would not exist, it's that simple. “Trees of Power” By Akiva Siver “The Hidden Life of Trees, What They Feel, How They Communicate” By Peter Wohlleben ~ Peter has written 18 books about trees “Finding the Mother Tree, Discovering the Wisdom of the Forest” by Suzanne Simard “Tree Talk” by Dianne Robbins The seed of this magnificent ancient tree was lofted to this location on the winds of God. Landing in this location, successfully germinated and took root in the spring of 1635. All I did to find out how old the London Plane (Platanus X acerifolia), is in my yard that is nearly 12 feet in circumference ABH, I just asked her.

MM77 Approved 👍🏼 👍🏼

Great to see your video hit my feed tonight. I so enjoy your videos. Looking forward to the next one. Be well. God bless....

Nice Black Walnut. I only have Loblolly Pine right now. I can't find a tree service that will sell me their hardwood logs when they remove a tree and do clean-up.

Those black walnut boards look great. Also, good to see another video from you.

Hi Wes, Of course we enjoy your videos!! We wish we could see you more. As always God bless you and your family from your long-time California subscriber 🙏 🤲

Hey Wess, take an inch or an inch and a quarter wood auger and punch a hole in that walnut tree that you think is rotten. That will tell the tale if it is hollow and rotten or not. Also your little hunting buddy sure knows how to keep it real. He was cold and hungry and not afraid to let you know. How cool. Man, I totally get it that you have a higher calling that is taking you away but I for one sure do miss what you did before. One of my more favorite KZbin channels.

We miss you. Yes, black walnut trees can be caustic to humans and animals due to the toxic chemical juglone that they produce:

Check your saw, should be a line on the clutch cover and maybe even the starter cover that can be used to point the directon of fall.

You got some beautiful boards out of that walnut. Pertaining to the walnut sawdust, do not use it for bedding for any animals, because it is toxic to them also. You probably know this, but I figured I would mention this just in case. Great video by the way.

Love watching you anytime🙋‍♀️

I have all walnut countertops and fireplace mantels in my log home. It’s beautiful wood.

Always excited to see your videos. Thanks for continuing to post. Happy Thanksgiving🍁🦃to you and your family.

Great to hear from you again Wes. That was some fine looking lumber you sawed. You may not have many videos but you always have great content.

Do a small accent wall in the house with the wood preferably with the chalk high up. A peaked wall if possible. Sand the lower upper and side wood and put a few clear coats on all of it.

Well done! Regards from Spain ❤👍🇪🇦

I thought you quit youtube. Until I got a notification, today, and clicked on your channel, and see you have posted several videos. So glad to see you back, and now I have some catching up to do.

You need to add AC and a kitchen to that deer stand so you can feed that boy... He's starvin'.. 🤣

Good to see you and your son. That wood is beautiful. How's about a urethane clearcoat spray for that timecapsule preservation? I don't know if it would work, but I think it would preserve it for a long time if it can be done. See you soon!

May want to clean out the deer stand and get the wasp nest out that was by your son’s head. Hopefully it’s inactive.

That walnut is beautiful!! Love seeing you and your buddy again. God bless!!!! ❤❤❤❤

Love watching that cutting away! Your experience is helpful an interesting!

My more observant family members have let me know that the chalk drawing in the video and the drawing in the flashback pictures are completely different. Either way, if you have any ideas on how to preserve the chalk in the new floor let me know. Thanks!

About time Wes!

The way you speak already sounds like that of a lifetime minister. Keep on going on sir.

I have a stack of 2" sweetgum slabs. I think I'm going to make flooring with them. It warps bad but the colors that shoot through it are very pretty. Always glad to see one of your videos. God Bless.

Thanks for another good video Black Walnut is my favorite wood its hard to beat the beauty of Black Walnut and good luck to you and your little huntin buddy hope you guys get some venison God bless

So excited to see you posted another great video!! Those are beautiful boards! The floor will be so pretty!!You worked hard for them! Your little boy is growing so fast - so precious!! We've been watching your old videos - still fun to watch. God bless y'all in all ways!! Thanks for taking time to share these with us!! 🥰🙏🥰👍

Wow, Beautiful grain in those boards! Great to see a new video from you! We are getting ready to start this kind of lifestyle God willing, I've grown up all my life in the city, so I am really excited! Our house is under contract, now we are just praying we find the right place to move to. As soon as we sell, I am getting a Timberking 1400 sawmill, so your sawmill videos will be very helpful! Thank you for making such wonderful videos, Love your channel! I pray the Lord bless you and your family!

Mate, I've always loved watching your channel. I didn't realise how much I've missed you all until you posted the previous episode. Your young man is certainly growing up. I wish you all the very best for the future. Have a good one, mate. 👍👍👍🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

The lumber pile looks like a good home for rattle snakes.

Hi Wes! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. God Bless.

That black walnut is a wee bit heavier than the sweet gum. My wife was up in Blue Ridge and went in a store that had live edge "exotic" woods. They had a 41" x 6' slab for only $4800. Don't worry about cutting it down. They aren't really common around here but you can find them pretty much everywhere. We just sold out house in Columbus, closed last week, and there are 4 growing there that my father planted in 2012. Keep us posted on the Chriatmas trees. We don't need the prettiest tree in the lot and I'd 1000x rather buy it from you than one of these tree lots around here. I'll even take a crooked one to set up on the dock so the fish get in the Chriatmas spirit.
