I work in tree services for a municipality in Melbourne Australia and we have thousands of big Pin Oaks as Street trees and have felled plenty over the years. I’ve milled a few with a Chainsaw mill to make tables and benches. Just a bit of a hobby. I really enjoyed watching you mill this one. I reckon l’d drop in and say G’day if I wasn’t one the other side of the world. Its thirsty work cutting timber, Ha. Love your videos fellas

[@markgalicic7788]

What was gnarly and less than ideal on the outside was showing off stunning grain and figure on the inside. I can easily imagine tables made from the less than clear boards with epoxy accents or an epoxy river. Completely enjoy traveling along with you gents as you explore the hidden beauty.

[@jiminycricket2230]

Great video guys and great looking wood out of that ugly log. The old Jimmy was clearing her throat pretty good on the hardwood. It brings back memories of watching my dad haul logs out of the woods back in the 70's. I spent some time in the jump seat when I was a kid and the Detroit diesels were all around me in the woods. Kids are spoiled today and watching a man work would never be tolerated without offering to pitch in. Good job Eddie tossing those boards around. They wonder where old man strength comes from? You just saw it.

[@markfeasel9431]

I could watch this all day. Worked on same style saw mill with my father years ago. But everything was manual. Tail hook. Tail saw. Dogs were manual and lever tighten. Nice operation. Love this sight. Thank.

[@markgalicic7788]

glad you liked it.

[@lewiemcneely9143]

Nice looking lumber after all. Sweetie got a pin oak and planted it in the corner of the yard. It was a BEAUTIFUL tree, or rather grew into one. But it shaded the garden too much and you know where it ended up. In the HEATER and we both were poked and scraped from getting the limbs to the burn pile. Good sawing, Mark. BLESSINGS to all yall and the T.H.E Horvaths too!

Hi Mark & Eddie. Thanks for talking about the maintenance on the mill. That ugly pin oak log gave you some cracking lumber, but Eddie sure earned his keep this week lifting those heavy boards. Looking forward to next weeks video, as always. Take care and stay safe. Stan

I love seeing these old style mills working as I grew up near mills here in Australia I notice in the us there aren't many mills with overhead blades . Here in Australia most mills run an overhead blade for the ugly logs or just larger logs to reduce log waste

I've been told not to ue Pin Oak for anything because of the smell, large ring structure, splits, and more. Wondering your thoughts as I just cut down what might be one to use for a table.

I use it for outdoor firewood. I can say that after a year it still smells bad. After 2 years it's okay.

Mark... I missed this one. My favorites are the long, huge, ugly logs. I describe them as: can-he-mill-that-log? I've got a huge computer monitor. When any of the family walks by while I'm watching those favorites... they're captured till it's finished. Oh, I forgot the crooked trees. It seems impossible that you could get straight boards out-of-those, but you do, every time. Don't pass up any big, crooked, ugly trees.

[@saxman7131]

I had to look it up. The term “pin oak” is especially given to Quercus palustris, found on bottomlands and moist upland soils in the eastern and central United States. Usually about 25 metres (80 feet) tall but occasionally reaching 35 metres (115 feet), the tree has a broad pyramidal crown and drooping lower branches.

[@randallsullivan3692]

By golly you got your money's worth out of Eddie AND that old Detroit this day!!! I love to hear that Detroit growl when it hits the governor. Wonder if Eddie is growling like that too??? LOL

[@charlesbduke7947]

You found a use for pin oak other than fire wood?It's the only wood I've ever saw that the stump bounced a double bit axe. And I do know my double bit. Do you know what db is made for. Do you know that each bit gets sharpened a different way. Actually that looks pretty clean most here in the east are covered with sap branches, they're miserable to cut off. We've got a neighborhood here that must 300 20inch trunks . I've cut down a few but it's tight work. Tree services hate the area. They are very sturdy, some turn turtle in high winds, but most stay put. Be careful, and good luck.

You have a vertical green laser to show the saw position relative to the log in the longitudinal axis .... so why don't you (or can you) add another laser to project in the horizontal axis - above the log feed bed - that will show the actual height of the saw cut on the log - that way you will always know if the blade is going to make the cut all the way through the log.

Have you fellas checked the price of lumber lately? It's up maybe 50% over the past 60 days. By the way, when you roll a log off the yellow rack section onto the grey rack section that moves, are you ever "concerned" shall we say, that the momentum of the rolling log will knock the three or four clamper thingys out of square/plumb? That's a beautiful piece of wood, warts and all.
