Watching you mill out lumber during these days of uncertainty and turmoil is pure medicine, I truly envy you.

[@bluethunder1951]

I have butternuts and its my favourite wood for making rustic coffee tables, when I saw them up I don’t make slabs, I use every inch of diameter sometimes the boards are only a few feet long, or only a few inches wide, you will be surprised at how many projects you will love to use butternut. Awesome show.

[@Mistraker]

I haven't made anything to sell, but I did a big maple slab for my kitchen table, and got a slab of butternut for a bench to go with it. I want to get a couple more smaller slabs to turn into chairs to go on the opposite side of the table, but in a similar style to the bench and table, which are just big slabs with four legs that go all the way through the slabs, and are double wedged in an X pattern for each leg. A bit like hanging an axe head, except all the wedges are wood.

[@robertrichards4236]

WOW! Butternut is absolutely gorgeous.

[@manubird2475]

Aloha from Hawai'i! Butternut! I never knew that tree had such a beautiful grain. Please let me indulge in an old memory. My childhood was spent in a farming community in NE Conn. in a family of all boys. Since our mom was a school teacher and worked, she taught us guys to cook really early. In 1960 when I was 11, I entered fudge I made in the cooking side of our annual agricultural fair. (I also showed heifers.) I won a blue ribbon. All those older women were not happy! My secret ingredient? Butternuts that I harvested from a tree by an alfalfa field down the road from my house. I have since learned that butter nuts have a creamy texture like macademia nuts grown in these islands. I love watching your show because it illustrates that treasures can be found in your backyard or community, a lesson I learned as a young boy. Thank you!

[@dmorgan28]

Oh my. That is beautiful grain in that wood. Nice. 👍👍👍❤️

[@user-wy5ik6zq4r]

Beautiful. I use walnut a lot here in Michigan and that butternut looks a lot like it.

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

👍👍👍

[@SvenDepennis]

Have a Butternut tree a little bigger than that one on the ground and waiting to be milled. Going to make our kitchen cabinets out of it, and probably a table to match. Absolutely beautiful! Look forward to seeing the next video.

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

Great idea!

[@dmartink]

Last week it was that wonderful clear ash. This week that beautiful butternut. You are a wealthy man, all this beauty!

[@1ruralmailman]

good lord that is beautiful wood.it is my favorite wood to work with,it holds detail amazinly well,and just pops when you hit it with a finish.

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

Thanks 👍

[@localsouptalks]

Beautiful grain. Thanks for sharing, for the interesting camera angles, and for your music choices.

[@silverlicious2086]

I never saw Butternut before. Luxurious grain and color. I bet that looks incredible when all finished and polished up.

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

Yes. Thanks for watching

[@TheDiamondback73]

Your Butternut cuts never disappoint!

[@fritzschwanserhauser2266]

That woods full of spirits! I want a slab now! Not the 7\8the boards! What a table that'd make! Dreamy lines!

[@kmarch6630]

I had a Darwin moment earlier today so I'm sitting here watching videos, nursing a cut up hand. That's some beautiful wood. Good video.

[@dougsova1282]

Darwin moments will happen! Been there, done that, but no tee shirt yet. Anyone have a Darwin tee shirt?

I've never had the pleasure of putting my eyes on Butternut,what an amazing wood amazing color thanks for the share...

[@nancychong4650]

the prettiest wood grains I've ever seen. Thanks for sharing.

[@fernhoppertimberworks8037]

Butternut is sometimes called white walnut depending on what part of the country you're from. I have seen it in the low lands .mabee that's why the log was buttressed on one end so much . I t has a pointed nut compared to walnut.and different number of leaflets.

[@Mistraker]

It's not just a name. It is indeed a species of walnut. The wood is far less dense than black walnut, though. I got a slab of it to use for a bench, to go with a maple slab kitchen table I made. The lighter color goes well with the maple slab, and is of similar density, and was very similar to work with. I'm unsure of what sort of maple this is, but a less dense variety. I have a smaller slab table I made for my nightstand, which is rock maple, which was far more dense than either the kitchen table, or the bench I made to go with it. Lovely little table, but the bark inclusions forced me to make it three legged, instead of four. For a nightstand, it doesn't matter. Works a treat.

[@pup734]

Wow that's beautiful wood very nice

[@grahamallen3941]

That is some gorgeous lumber right there Nathan. No wonder Christmas has come early. One thing is certain, you would have no trouble selling those boards. The furniture makers will be queuing up at your door!! Cannot wait to see the rest..... all the best Graham🇬🇧🇬🇧❤️🌲🌲

[@christopherjennings3871]

truly a beautiful wood

[@MONNIEHOLT]

Best show on youtube 🎥

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

Thanks buddy

[@aporter701]

Better'n chicken and tv! Don't think we have that species here in western Ark. Keep on keeping on!!👌😊

[@alanswift8805]

That Butternut lumber looks awesome and it will make some nice cabinets and book cases also. Two thumbs up for the lumber.👍👍

[@pettigrewwoodworks]

That is some fine wood. I've never had any butternut to work with so am considerably jealous!

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

It's so good!

[@pnwRC.]

I see potential for some beautiful cabinet doors with this lumber!

[@markarnold729]

Wow. Beautiful grain. I have never worked with butternut.

[@scottwolfe3333]

Beautiful wood!

[@markhopkins7204]

This is what keeps me watching for the next video! You never disappoint Nathan...hope you and family are doing well and please don't stop sawing!

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

Thanks buddy appreciate you

[@jacquiemouton9053]

Wow, spectacular wood.

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@alt5494]

please do make a video on some of the furniture you make with this butternut. The joinery will be incredible with that grain. Cheers

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

Will do

[@falfas55bgas]

Nathan, not sure if you've ever sawed Catalpa, but if you get a chance, do it. The logs can look nasty, but the wood is pretty, almost gold iridescent.

[@pamelahooper7851]

Really like the butternut logs. Great video presentation skills too. Thanks.

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

Thanks for watching!

[@mauriceryton]

Beautiful boards, the tones of brown are awesome.

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

I think so too!

[@slowly_radish8374]

Oh my what a treasure under all that shaggy bark. I never tire of watching you mill timber. Thanks!

[@flintrichards945]

That would make a beautiful table top. My wife wants me to make one for our kitchen. I found some really good looking popular a few years ago that had all kinds of colors and some good figure and made a small card table from it came out nice I also edged it with some figured cherry.

[@davidnielsen4490]

Beautiful boards Nathan. I see a big market for these boards. Have a great week.

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

Same to you

[@steppbysteppcreations2072]

Me and my 4 young boys have a sawmill and we have learned a lot from watching your channel. Never cut butternut though. Neat looking wood! Nice film and editing work too. We’ve recently started to post some things on KZbin, and never realized the extra time and work that goes into making an entertaining an informative video. Great work! Please keep it up.

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

Will do. 👍

[@diceportz7107]

That is beautiful. Reminds me of lumber my Dad had the local sawmill cut for him.

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

cool, thanks for watching,

[@markpashia7067]

You sure know your woods. Beautiful grain and color. Fantastic facing for any furniture or cabinets. Ash is under rated and a fantastic wood also, but better used for structure out of sight. If I did not know better I would think you are making cabinets with all of this sawing lately!?! A lot of really nice wood for fine furniture of some sort. I know you love your walnut but these are running close behind. Too much walnut can make a room look dark. Not a problem with this butternut. Thank you and good luck with what ever this is all for. Just an old fan who use to work with wood. Too broke down anymore.

[@tomholz9928]

Beautiful work!

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

Thanks 👍👍

[@butternuthillfarm1599]

Beautiful! I have Butternut in my forest, hence the name of my you tube channel, but none even close to that size. Thanks for sharing.

[@mgmcd1]

That’s some elegant grain.

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@rolandharrison5651]

Well now, ain’t that some pretty wood! I’d really love a piece of that. You done good by that log, mighty fine.

[@bradleyrussell1973]

Butternut, aka white walnut, will steam and dry to exactly the same dark color that black walnut does. Most production mills package it with black walnut, as it will be almost impossible to identify between it and black walnut. It does require steaming before the dry kiln to keep it from busting and warping.

[@jqwwqj6365]

liike the straight foward approach. keep up the great work. everett wa

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

thank you,

[@kevdimo6459]

Absolutely beautiful lumber Nathan! I can see why you’re reluctant to sell this stuff. Keep up the good work mate 👍🏻🇦🇺

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

Thanks buddy

[@joejodikaden]

That is such beautifull wood no wonder your keeping it.

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

👍👍

[@dougrobins8291]

I turn bowls, and like walnut the best...but butternut second best. Butternut has some warm honey highlights that you don't see in walnut. It is a bit softer than walnut but both woods turn nicely, sand easily and take a great finish (I usually use walnut oil, but General's Salad Bowl Finish can be built up to a high gloss).

[@wallyworld817]

Thank you for posting.

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

You bet!

[@DavidSmith-zr3nd]

Beautiful grain in that log

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

[@tubularguynine]

Some mighty pretty wood, Nathan! looks a lot like red oak to me. 👍🏻

[@johnmoyer5515]

Think i might have a few small logs i think it looks like ash or oak grain on. 2nd pc. But i am going to mill it on the sawmill anyway we'll see

[@mountainviewturning5319]

Great looking lumber

[@erkeltree]

Yhay tree is a definite keeper Nate.

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

👍👍

[@TheWildWestMill]

Here in southern Ontario butternut is protected not allowed to cut even in a yard you r suppose to get a special permit to cut. The root system get a disease and the die standing so if u got a butternut take care of it

[@artlandry233]

In FL we carve butternut so maybe you should save the cutoffs for carvers?

[@robertevans6481]

I see the family relationship to walnut...some beautiful wood.

[@robertcalamusso4218]

Nice - Bob

[@stevefamfive]

Will this wood deepen in color the longer it is off the mill? Walnut certainly darkens from a greenish brown hue to a deep brown over time, and since the 2 woods are related was just wondering.

[@mickrose9633]

Drooling in hawaii for some butter nut.... awesome Nate!

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

👍👍👍👍

[@TheTaff224]

very nice wood - I'd love to see it after drying and planing.

[@aporter701]

Well,you weren't wrong! Good lookin' stuff! ( not that I doubted you,mind you).

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

Appreciate it

[@TMB247]

I loved your Old Mill... warming up to this one (I'm old and can't even work a Cellphone) now I like the sound od that Yanmar

Butter nut is protected now in southern ontario..i think i like it better than black walnut..thats some beautiful boards there nathan.

this stuff makes beautiful boxes or "treasure chests" perhaps jewelry boxes

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

[@stevenpope940]

Some of those cuts could almort be "live edge" shelves. The would look nice in a cabin or lodge. Even in someone's den/man cave.

[@lucasgoldinger6948]

I have a 10 foot long thick cherry log with 5 or 6 crotches. I couldn't find anyone around me who wanted to mill it. I doubt you'd want to come all the way up to Pennsylvania for it, haha.

[@trebor66n2]

Very nice grain. Beautiful tree. Is butternut a hard wood? It’s not a tree I hear a lot about

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

Yes 👍

[@erikleorga]

It's afflicted by a disease called thousand canker disease. An Asian fungus that's decimated the population across the U.S.

[@Trapper50cal]

Gorgeous!

I am interested in getting one of your t-shirts, but your order page is not set up for international orders. I would assume that the price for the shirt is $25 US but the shipping cost would be different for internatioinal orders. I live in Canada

That's some beautiful wood. I can see why you would want to keep it. 👍 How much would one of these Butternut boards retail for in a commercial lumber yard?
