Watching him cut all this beautiful lumber begs the question which has tormented me for years. Why would any one paint wood?

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

agreed

[@eseholmes4592]

Paint is a crime against good wood. I once built a deck at my house out of aromatic cedar. It was gorgeous. Left for college and my parents had some friends look after the house. Came back one summer and it was all painted solid blue. WTF?!?

why water though, won't it swell one face of the wood and cause it to cup?

[@thomassnapp1341]

[@b.scottfarthingsworth]

@@thomassnapp1341 Yeah I suppose not a 2-3" slab if it were for construction grade, but still anything thinner, a bucket of water wouldn't be smart. I build guitars and need the rough wood to be air dried or kilned before final milling, and can't have humidity introduced like that to perfectly dry wood. If I saw my milling guy throw a bucket of water on my log, he'd be buying the whole tree from me.

[@CombatDoc54]

First off, I want to say, "nice video" and second, I never knew Mulberry got so big. I really liked the color right after your first cut. It reminded me of Poplar. I have had some Poplar that was what I thought to be some of the most beautiful wood. It had that light to dark greenish yellow with layers of light to dark to almost black purple. It all had a very low sap content, very easy to dry. I wish people had a better appreciation for wood, they take it too much for granted. A tree is a replenishable gift that God gave us if we don't take advantage of it. Over the last 50 years, I have built everything from headboards and foot boards for beds, side stands, bedside stands, coffee tables. In 50 years, I have only used two kinds of wood. Oak and Poplar. I have cringed at the thought of people painting any of them, but I know they have. If people want to paint wood, then they should choose a different medium such as Pine. Pine is a lot more plentiful. I would rather use a beautiful wood and preserve it so people can see the true beauty of it's growth. The lines in the grain of wood are much like the lines in an old man's wrinkled face. Each line tells a story, each line is a year of experience, a story of survival. Then, one day, the lines stop appearing just as when the old man dies. That is the day, that new sprouts will appear and a new life begins to start the cycle over again.

I own a custom-made accordeon manufactured by a traditional craftsman in Louisiana in mulberry wood. He had made one for me before in walnut (beautiful) and when he was making this one, he suggested mulberry and this creamy color is exactly what I got. This craftsman retired and passed the business on to his grandson but a fire destroyed their workshop and all their stock of wood, metal components, and tooling was destroyed. Another of his grandsons is a good friend of mine and he's asked me to return his grandfather's accordeon to him when I'm ready - the arthritis in my hands has gotten so bad that I'm going to have to let it go and while I"ll be sad, I know it's going back to the place that it needs to be. It is beautiful wood and the sound from that accordeon just rings out. I was thrilled to see how mulberry mills out -- it sort of completes the circle for me about knowing such lovely wood and touches the heart of an old man. Thank for a special video.

I had a similar sized log that I milled up about 10 years ago. It is a beautiful yellow color that slowly changed a deep red just like it's cousin Osage Orange. The offcuts are great for smoking poultry.It'll add a very sweet unique flavor that I like more than hickory or mesquite!

[@jimgeorge6220]

You mentioned Beech. I'm in the North West and while building some cabinets needed some nice straight lumber. I went to my hardwood supplier and found that they had Beech for a price that I couldn't refuse. It was straight, stable a joy to cut and machined extremely well. I had never used Beech before, it had never been readily available to me. I hope my supply of it continues.

My grandpa had 2-3 sawmills going at once. My dad owned the local NAPA store & when he got sick of the city life he'd hire someone to come help my brother in the parts store & go to the woods & cut down timber & help cut it into lumber. I totally understand today how peaceful it was to "get out of town" & go to the woods. I can remember Dad taking me with him to "walk the timberline" & get an idea of where to start. I remember the 2 - 3 big mules they used to pull the timber out when they couldn't get the other equipment in the woods to drag / haul it out to take to the sawmill.

One thing I really like about and why I subscribed to your channel is the beautiful low key guitar music you play in the background. I Can't stand it when other channels blast music at you while you're trying to enjoy the work they are doing. Myself, I love the smell of fresh cut lumber you'll especially encounter at a site of a house being built. So I don't think it odd you do as well. You can actually tell a lot about wood from the way it smells I was told by my now deceased Step-Father who was a retired Master Carpenter. He was originally from Maine backwoods growing up and most of his career. The entire interior of his house was done in knotty pine with a semi-gloss varnish he made himself. The varnish so the color of the wood wouldn't darken from air born particles from cooking and baking in his gas stove and fire place plus other particulates. Plus it helped reflect light in a room. Of course this is another fascinating episode from a Master Miller.

[@targetdreamer257]

Wow. That is pretty. I can just imagine after this thing has been sawed, cut, shaped and sealed how amazing the final product will look.

Mulberry is a lovely wood. Same botanical family as osage orange. Both woods age to a beautiful coppery color.

[@christopherh7125]

I have turned both mulberry and Osage orange and like you say, they will over time change to an old copper penny look. Wood finishes, especially oil polyurethane, slow the change but the change is inevitable. If I recall correctly, the change is due to oxidation and will even happen in the dark, but light does speed up the process. I am in Arizona and mesquite changes as well, turning from a light purple brown to a dark rust red brown. Desert ironwood also changes from a bright gold to an extremely dark brown black. I have turned Cherry and it darkens too.

[@ianboard3555]

My mom has an old vanity mirror that has been in the family for years that is made from Mulberry. I had no idea what kind of wood it was for years - beautiful when it ages.

Pretty sure osage orange and mulberry are not the same family. Osage orange/hedge apple is Maclura Pomifera and Mulberry is Morus Rubra or Morus alba. For Red Mulberry or White Mulberry respectively. Just because mulberry and osage have similar heartwood color doesn't mean they are I the same family.

Mulberry does not hold that yellow color for very long, it oxidizes into a brown very quickly, need to use an airtight sealant to keep the yellow color. Most sealants are not airtight as much as watertight. Mulberry also has a very distinctive smell, I know it well...

Wow, beautiful grain on those boards! I never saw Mulberry before, I’m in the UK and used to make furniture using just English hardwoods. My old wood turner used to say to me ‘Never work with wood you don’t like the smell of!’ So nothing strange about smelling that sawdust there sir! Thanks for posting the video👍

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

Thank you very much!

[@daffidavit]

This just shows how much intelligence it takes to make a work of art like this.

[@evankibbe590]

My experience with mulberry is mostly cutting for firewood. And all i have cut had very little sapwood. I think the most was 3/4 inch . And that it does not make good fence posts because it rots very quickly. And that i always thought it would be beautiful and i was right .😊👍👍👍🍵🍵🌞🌎

[@TheJbc1]

I Would have thought Mulberry was rot resistant being in the same family as Osage Orange.

These videos are so good. They remind me that there is beauty in life

[@DavidSmith-zr3nd]

Beautiful grain. I grew up climbing a huge old mulberry tree in mommas yard but never thought about lumber.

[@MrSmithvideo]

Nathan that was class. You are a really talented director and your videos , in my opinion , are some of the best on you tube. Peace from across the pond in the UK brother.

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

thank you appreciate you saying that, take care

[@SaintDuck]

That's about the size of my big mulberry tree. I've never seen another one as big. In 20 years my other mulberry trees have gone from about 6" in diameter to 7". Imagine how old these big ones are.

[@corypride]

You are so fortunate to have all these once in a lifetime experiences sawing up logs! Don't forget to count your lucky stars!

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

Agreedc👍👍👍

[@markjones336]

I was sawing up a log the other day,I hit something.It turned out to be a big brass light fitting that was IN THE MIDDLE of the tree!!!

[@christophersleight19]

Mark, I came close 35 + years ago to selling Black Walnut Trees on my parents retirement property. (They had both passed on.) The property was going to be turned into a Trailer development..... I was warned if there was metal In them, nails, screws or laundry line wire or hardware the damage to the Blade it might consume the value of the log. I'm seeing lots of Mills like this. Do you know if; 1) with today's blade can they handle metals, not in abundance? (I am not talking about making planks out of A36 ASTM bar stock.) 2) is it possible to make a living from a Saw.? 3) I'm in Colorado Springs Colorado. Thank you, your Friend Christopher

[@slitaitana6212]

That is a beauty of a log! who ever you're sawing that for is gunna be happy for sure!

[@BIGDADDY012341]

So how this came through my machining and mechanic recommendations is beyond me but i'm so happy it did !!! I had a woodworking passion as a kid but became a steel fabricator / machinist LOL ikr kinda went the other way on that haha . Very cool video and just between us ... I've seen some pretty weird ppl sniff some pretty weird stuff on youtube bro : ) so sniffing wood is no biggie !! Liked and subscribed can't wait to check out your other videos . Thanks for sharing !!

[@bobbg9041]

You can work wood too. Its just .001 in wood is 1/16" or close enough. But it shrinks funny with season change. Not like metal where heat changes size.

[@Brighton939]

Fantastic!! Love to see what you make from it. Keep posting... (Brighton, England)

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

Thanks so much!

[@experienceprecision5406]

That is one old mulberry tree. Just imagine how many animals it fed.

[@dimesonhiseyes9134]

Many mulberry trees are fruitless. I have 2 giant trees in my backyard but I had no idea they were mulberry because of no fruit. One was about 3' wide and the other was split with 3 2' trunks. Come to find out there are several others in my neighborhood about the same size.

[@SALTYDEPLORABLEGARBAGE]

Got too old to produce much in the way of fruit.

[@spontaneousexpress]

@@dimesonhiseyes9134 yeah. But the leaves feeds about anything. From turtles to ground hogs and deer! Just about any and everything feeds on that thing.

[@VivekNa]

@@spontaneousexpress Many a day in my teenage years I would climb a mulberry tree to cut leaves to feed my cow

[@paulriggall8370]

What a lovely thought 💭

[@jeffreythree]

Love Mulberry wood. Picked up two logs a couple of years ago full of great crotch feather that turned a cool bronze, yellow, and brown as the finished pieces aged.

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

nice!

[@lenordvaughan5036]

I have mulberry growing in my yard. Over the past couple of years, I have had to cut some after storms. After cutting it, everything is sticky. It makes a mess on a chainsaw when you cut it green.

[@sallyobrien1048]

Throw a little diesel on the blades after you’re done cutting sapwoods like this.

[@donmoore7785]

I cut up some Mulberry trees on my property for firewood years ago. This brings back memories of the wood.

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

Nice

[@botfoblhrp]

Absolutely yellow gold, i cut lots for firewood, beatiful yellow when split and turnd dark reddish brown as drys and ages. Sometimes i would rip with chainsaw to see grain, this shows how fantastic grain is. The left over if grill wth charcoal, throw some wet wood in on hot fire and smoke flavor the meat with it. 😋 if tree was producing berrys they are delicious also . some produce a dark purple berry and some have white berrys , both sweet and delicious and makes wonderful homemade jams . thank you for taking on this one. Have you ever done any chinese elm. Very nice grain also.

[@zcommodore]

I grew up in northwestern Oklahoma and we had Chinese elms growing all over the place. They were imported and planted to reduce wind erosion in that part of the country around the time of the dust bowl
