sawing walnut

Thank you ever so much for a video with nothing but tool sounds and minimal commentary. Not some sped up thing with irritating music covering up tool sounds that are the true music to woodworkers’ ears. Beautiful wood, well cut, nice video, well shot. Thanks 🙏

There are now blight resistant American chestnut saplings available. A good friend of mine planted over 100 about four years ago. Some American chestnuts survived the blight. These are the trees the new saplings are from.

I'm absolutely mesmerized by your videos. I used to work in a few sawmills in BC Canada back in the 80's. One place had a pretty impressive resaw (bandsaw) that we would rip down 12x12's. Your carriage rig is so cool, just love it. Keep up the great work and improvements to your operation.

Had a customer hire me to remove some trees. Most were walnut, a few were red oak. A company paid me and they cut down and remove the trees and stumps. With what they paid me and what the customer paid. Took half and gave it back to the customer. She was in total shock.

Umm, California is 60% Walnut, Redwood, and Western Cedar. There is no shortage of Walnut Also Walnut, grows in Oregon and Washington. Your information is wrong. 99% of Walnut comes from California orchards.

[@Pyle81]

Hey Mark, I'm not sure of you have ever explained to the viewers that the vast majority of your logs you get are NOT prime saw logs. And it appears that they are probably destin for the fire wood maker. Yet you and Eddy make some fantastic lumber out of them. Ive spent a lot of time around a BIG high volume band mill here in NE Ohio. And I see them running logs threw the fire wood processor that you guys are getting grade lumber out of. It might just be what you call "Farmer's grade" but its still a valuable grade of lumber to the Ag guys. Dan.

I really enjoy working with walnut. I have carved some rosette blocks, 6” square, for a fireplace. There was an old inn here in Rogersville called Andrew Jackson Inn. It was built about the same time as the Hermitage in Nashville, Tn. They said the same people built both. All the molding was hand made. I believe that I saw some pieced together with tiny pegs. Shoe mold , crown, the stairs had hand made nails. The building caught fire, & because it had dropped ceiling it was smoldering for 3 days. The company that owned the property had tried to get it torn down. It was on national historic list. They couldn’t tear it down. It burned within 3 weeks of state of Tennessee saying it could not be torn down. It had chestnut sheeting on roof, & floors. Lots of water damage from fire. Lots of walnut trim.
