So excited to get my original Keen Kutter Nail puller I found on ebay.

[@JamesNorelli-lo4ke]

Could you try and fill the hole with glue or epoxy then cut it? Maybe it will save more wood that way? Just wondering.

Hey, Nathan. You could make a fortune cutting wood for turners. Not only bowl blanks, but pieces like 3x3x12 or 18" for us spindle guys. Black Walnut is also the most common and treasured wood for ceremonial gavels, like those you'd see at the president's podium at meeting halls. Just a thought...

[@texasjetman]

Good information. I had not thought of that use before. Thank you

[@henryhatfield74]

@blacklocust , how much do those turning blanks sell for?

[@BlackLocust-u6d]

@henryhatfield74 Henry... don't know. At present I make my own from fruit wood.

[@melgross]

I think large slabs are worth a lot more.

[@henryrodriquez4706]

That's a nice walnut log Nathan I would really like to buy a few bowl blanks if that's what you decide to do. 👍

[@FredD63]

Black walnut was one of the three woods that I was thinking of using when I made my kitchen cabinets, but I ended up using Hickory as I was having a hard time finding black walnut definitely has a beautiful grain to it…. Stay Safe 🇺🇸👊🏼👊🏼✌🏼🔨🪚

As an alternative to bowl blanks, you might consider some table leg blanks. 8 & 12 quarter walnut is hard to find when I look for table and desk leg blanks.

It might be worth while to keep a carbide blade or two around for sawing yard trees. They can usually cut through a few pieces of mild steel without issue.

[@robertr4193]

Some pretty nice Poplar boards there at the first of the video. Some nice Walnut also. The side that has the bigger void in it might also make some nice rifle stock blanks as well. Those can fetch a nice price some times if the color and grain are as good as it shows in the video. They need to be 3" minimum thickness to 5."

[@robertmalmgren4640]

Jim Kibler was looking for good walnut for stocks. When Nathan said bowl blanks I also thought gun stocks.

[@chriscmoor]

@@robertmalmgren4640 The smaller cutoffs would make some really nice knife scales, too.

[@AaronTurnwald]

I need to get one of those nail pullers. Looks like it works good!

[@meehd01]

If you would use cobalt blades from Timberwolf you could hit 2-3 nails and just keep going. Their blades can handle a few nails.

[@daveyjoweaver6282]

That walnut is absolutely Lovely Nathan! Great music to go along with Great Walnut! Looks like this day you were a blade runner! But in spite of nails pulled and blades changed, think of the prize for sure! Kind Thanks, Many Blessings and Keep on Sawin On! DaveyJO in Pennsylvania

[@patkeefe5834]

Black Walnut is my favourite exotic timber. Exotic to me, here in Australia.

[@arkadyarkright1328]

After first admitting that I have no idea what I'm talking about... Is there any reason you couldn't run a metal detector over the log after each cut ? Would the time taken to check the log be more than the time spent resharpening and replacing blades ?

[@avaleehunter6232]

I remember my grand papa Had a big John Deere tractor with an attachment Where he could Cut His own Lumber. That was a tough job. He built his home and barn From scratch.

[@michaelhoggard591]

Simply beautiful slabs!!

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

I agree!

[@PattyMeloana]

When you find a nail in a log with your saw blade a great tip for removing it is use a drill and small drill bit and drill small holes around the nail and then use vice grip for easy removal and less damage to the slab! 🙏

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

interesting,,

Ase usual Nathan, you nailed it. Really enjoy your channel, Calgary

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

[@frankvucolo6249]

Wow, that’s some nice walnut! Seems there would be a good amount of dimensional lumber (4/4 and 8/4,) in the sections that can’t be slabs, that furniture makers would love. I guess it’s a matter of how to sell it though. Bowl blanks ship a lot easier.

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

yeah, they are in high demand but I see your point,

[@frankvucolo6249]

@ I could spend all day driving to hardwood suppliers and sawmills in my area and not find anything that good. And what I could find in wide, premium black walnut would go for at least $20/BF

[@robert.brokaw3829]

Hey Nathan - that is some nice Black Walnut. Hopefully you will make your money back for all the blades you went through. Stay safe.

I love the void ones for epoxy pours!! It's not 1950. The flaws make the best art

[@bdog3869]

At 9:42 on the video looking at the end of the slab you just cut nearest the engine. What do you do with pieces 4/4-8/4” thick. Do you just burn them? I was wondering is it possible to get something like this in black walnut to make some handles. Figured if I didn’t ask I’d never know and Dad always said if you have a question ask. Appreciate your time and your channel very much.

[@BrewsBrats]

Now that is about some gorgeous wood!

[@donaldadams5342]

What an absolutely beautiful Walnut. It's a real pity about the nails, but as you say, they are not the end of the world. What is even more disappointing is that void right through the log as far as slabbing is concerned. What positive does come out of that void is that wood turners will be 'licking their lips' because of the potential bowl blanks that might come out of it. Absolutely stunning grain in this log. Thanks for sharing this one mate. Cheers, Don from South Australia.

We’ve been living in our home for 40 years. Previously, the other owner had an European Beech planted in the front yard. Now, the trunk is almost 3 feet in diameter. It’s a very beautiful tree. At some point, the house will come up for sale and where I live, people buy the property, not the house. So they will tear the house down to build a bigger one and the tree will be taken down and cut into short pieces and thrown away. It’s a real shame, but I know there will be nothing I could do about that as neither I nor my wife will be around and I don’t see any reason my daughter could do anything about it either as she sells the house, as she lives in a different state.

[@jackreed3445]

Totally off of the subject... I think you should take one piece of something like Black Walnut and slip it in with the poplar for your wall. It would stand out and look nice. I say that because I did the same thing with a wall in a house I had a long time ago and everybody had good comments about it. We also used Red Cedar fencing boards in a wall in the living room as accents to some dark gray rough paneling. I had a lot of fun doing the interior of that house with raw wood and smooth paneling and the person who bought the place from me did so because of the way we had done everything. Take care, jack
