American old white oak

[@kenjett2434]

This is a pretty rock solid old mill and producing some beautiful wood. It's been alot of years but back when I was working in the logging business I cut alot of white oak veneer logs that was shipped to Japan. They was a big demand for it there at the time. I have to say it payed really good for the time also. I miss the work I really enjoyed it to me it was a labor of love. Watching this brings back a lot of great memories.

[@pamelajeruzal283]

I was wondering what you make with the wood you cut! Some of the wood is so beautiful and thick! Thank you for sharing your work!

[@time7559]

I saw blue in some of the slabs towards the center , apparently it had metal in it. How much metal and could you tell what the metal was? How old was the tree because the blue seamed to be from when it was young?

[@thedevilinthecircuit1414]

Beautiful wood! I wonder if termites watch these videos in the same manner as people watching cooking shows on TV.

[@finnm6249]

The Devil In The Circuit Wait What? I feel like this was a tree that was wayyyy too long laying around. The termites and other fungi did too much damage already. IMO you should have to clean all the decomposed wood out of the tree and then you will get back some of the majestic aura that this tree once had. Right now this is a rotten piece of wood but you should be able to save most of it.

[@johnshilling2221]

Good question!

[@maggs131]

Unbelievably strong wood. Those slabs probably weigh 500 lbs? 700 lbs? And they dont break off until theres only an inch left for the saw to cut.

Очень красивый рисунок среза! Хорошая работа исполнителей! 👍

[@carlkrebs1]

I would make a 12 foot trestle dining table out of part of that log the rest , stickley type chairs . All made heavy duty , simple , to show off that awesome grain . Once in a lifetime piece . Look fine in a log and stone country lodge in the mountains . Many fine meals , great conversations with family and great friends . 3 logs like that sawed up , I'd make a matching hunt board table , full English pub bar , huge gun cabinet , flooring (inlayed) , coffered ceilings , raised panel walls .

Almost as difficult to mill as hickory! Well done 👍 Stellite tipped band saws? What tension do your bench men set the bandsaws to? 34’ or less? Hats off to an exemplary crew all around 😎

[@elcajoia619]

@10:05 that blueish hue in the center of that plank, can only imagine what the final finish done right would look like on that piece.

the blueish color is from nail embedded.

Very interesting. Lots of rot thought (punky wood). Good job guys 👍 and thanks for sharing 😎

[@danielburgess7785]

May I ask how many meters long the oak was? オークの長さは何メートルですか？

[@Norfolk250]

The 0:05:40 mark... because of the width (height-wise) of the piece that just came off, this pass looks mmmmmmmuch longer! As if the trunk stretched without us seeing it until the cut was in progress! HA!

Nice wood i bet that tree lived a very long happy life.

I suspect this was a standing dead tree which was then cut down. Notice the fungus all through it and that a good bit of bark had already fallen off.

[@carlkrebs1]

If someone wanted to buy that entire log after you mill it into slabs , green , what would the price be ?

[@travisdavis3974]

More than your mother charges

That blue in a white oak means metal in the wood

[@davidduckett535]

i sawed a large white oak log that had a blue stain like that, tree apparently dissolved the metal, whatever it was, i had to cut it into three pieces lengthwise to get it on a woodmizer

Just taking a break from enjoying this video to comment on the ads. Totally unacceptable number of ads very intrusive and degrades enjoyment of the video. I make it a point to note the advertisers and intentionally avoid their products.

[@annehenry6243]

Googled it. According to purduelandscaper.org, and "guess- timating" that this log is about 48 inches in diameter, that tree is well over 225 years old!!

[@christopherlovelock9104]

Not the best piece of white oak I have seen. Judging by that 'water line' running from the branch to the base that tree had sure suffered, overall there was hardly a board on it when cut that didn't have a mark in it somewhere. That blade was getting a bit hot towards the end, that wasn't only sawdust coming off it, I'm surprised at the lack of 'guards' on it. As for removing the odd bit of wood by that blade - we always used an 'off-cut' like a stick - better to cut a few of them up than your hand - you only need to slip once.

[@judywaddell6065]

That saw should have a safety covering. That man collecting the bits of wood is engaging in a VERY DANGEROUS practise!!!!!.

[@grandpapete417]

Wooden leg

[@r.awilliams9815]

That saw is single-edged. so as long as the worker keeps his hands behind the saw, it's not so dangerous. You'll note that the worker is an old guy with all his bits still attached, so credit him with knowing what he's doing. Yes, it's still risky, but so are a lot of manual labor jobs...for instance, working as a logger. I worked in a sawmill for a couple of years, ALL of the jobs there are dangerous if you're not paying attention.
