Massive Oak Reveals Its Secrets

[@CallahanSawmillsLLC]

Thank you Scott for the wonderful opportunity to saw such a beautiful White Oak!

[@davidhazelton8327]

Mercy!!! You struck Gold with this one Scott.

[@Nathan-ow9dj]

Unbelievably beautiful wood! Appreciate the work that went into it and allowing us to tag along to see it!

[@mcd5082]

Beautiful wood Scott. Crazy to think that same tree saw the first Europeans settle that land hundreds of years ago!

[@praetorxian]

@13:45 I could think of some beautiful uses for those gnarly, burly off-cuts. From knife handles, to resin infused pieces….hell even the saw dust could be mixed for beautiful filler or the end pieces of Oregon Oak….on the smoker. ;) You did it justice. Bravo Scott!

[@Tsitris46]

Gorgeous boards from that good old Oak. Amazing!

[@motivationforlifestylechan6935]

Thanks for bringing me to places that I would have never had the opportunity to visit.

[@sixtomidnight1492]

My grandpa used to take those barky cutoffs and turn them into clocks to give as gifts. He would sand, lacquer and polish them to a glass like finish. They were beautiful!

[@railfan439]

Beautiful old growth quarter sawn white oak. Beyond gold! Thanks for the video. Jon

[@impossible7163]

That Wood-Mizer is one beautiful machine. So elegant, so effective.

[@praetorxian]

Agreed.

[@kaboom4679]

You definitely found the money tree with that white oak . Absolutely gorgeous wood there .

[@ChristCenteredIronworks]

That's absolutely beautiful lumber 😮 great video guys

[@dusty7264]

Cool video. I was shaping a raised panel door for some cabinets I was making out of White Oak and came across a bullet when I shaped the edges, it was lead so it didn’t ruin my shaper cutter fortunately.

[@geordiecs]

Beautiful, those rays are crazy.

[@NickAndTech]

These lumber crafting videos are among my favorites.

[@hokimocus]

Wow, so much detail and precious knowledge from competent people.

[@bobireland1256]

Totally amazes me how much trade specific knowledge is required to accomplish tasks like these. Hopefully these guys are finding youngsters who are willing to learn so that all this is not lost! Pray maintain speed and course.

[@allischalmer7532]

You sure are able to capture the essence of my childhood and young adulthood. I see family, neighbors,and local characters in these logging and milling videos. True unsung heroes of this great nation that literally fought and built what we have taken for granted. People that can see the beauty in some one else's trash and turn into treasure. I miss seeing the eccentric side coming out of the man in the drudgery of the everyday jobs of simply surviving. Keep up the good work Scott.

[@daiblaze1396]

Trees are truly amazing beings. They just stay where they grow against all odds, make people do what they want (picking fruits) and ultimately will make nice creations. Thanks for sharing!

[@TokyoCraftsman]

Man that is some nice Oak, amazing, looks like a lifetime's worth of wood!

[@johncatt1867]

Mr. Scott, thank you for sharing with us this process. That is some absolutely beautiful looking wood.

[@quazorgemash]

Good work fellas. Interviewing the miller about his different mills and the modern Lucas circular sawmills world bea good one.

[@cyclesingsleep]

Thank you, Scott!!! Man, oh man, is that absolutely gorgeous and unique!!!

[@williammrdeza9445]

Simply gorgeous wood, Scott! What a treasure to work with in the future. Boards like that really make you want to "measure twice, cut once," don't they? Hopefully your patience will hold out while they dry...!

[@riccroft710]

That is some awesome Oak you have there, Scott. You a lucky man to have such good resources to bring out the beauty of that magnificent tree. Thanks for sharing that with us.

[@fredflickinger643]

Beautiful tree and great skill in sawing it up! Can't wait to see it what will be created from it!

[@Deano.1978]

Nice work Scott, another great video

[@rustyul]

As one who saws much of my own lumber for non-structural use, and seen many turned in to beautiful lumber, that white oak log produced spectacular ray fleck! As you say, extremely difficult to find boards as beautiful as those! Thanks for sharing!

[@stevegibbs9695]

Having done some sawmill work before. I can say,that is some of the Prettiest quater sawn lumber I have ever seen.... Keep up the Good work bro...

[@charlesalready]

Man, that's awesome. Excellent work

[@WhoTakesAllMyAcNames]

Thank you for taking us on the ride in detail about this incredible tree, holy are the faces beatiful. hope to see updates on the drying process and once its ready

[@GDOG520]

Wow I can not Wait hands down the most beautiful wood I have ever seen

[@andrewsmith3121]

Beautiful, Beautiful, Beautiful 😊

[@erikleorga]

I envy what you got so much I've watched this video 3 times. Man that's amazing stuff.

[@patrickzadd5215]

absolutely beautiful

[@Extrmach]

Wow, 5 mins in and 🤯🤯🤯🤯. So much great info here!

[@JAdams-jx5ek]

Beautiful fleck.

[@Mtbambeno]

That is going to build some very beautiful items! Fantastic figure in that Oak!

[@christianmonkelbaan3537]

Wow, that must have been very exciting! Especially since there will be so many ideas popping up in your mind the second you see all of those beautiful grain patterns! Good luck waiting haha, it will require a lot of patience.

[@shanecunninghamgal]

Beautiful wood, it was stunning to look at in the video

[@casycasy5199]

what a tree.loved the knowledge he gave us on cutting the tree

[@Wood_Slice]

I am drooling. I LOVE QUARTER SAW WHITE OAK

[@davidl7813]

Wonderful video a gorgeous wood.

[@BWIL2515]

Amazing how much lumber came from that tree keep up the good work

[@johnjacobjinglehimerschmid3555]

Some beautiful lumber!

[@critical-thought]

What a beautiful log! Gives me ideas for some my oaks that are about ready to come down 😊

[@onemanswrld]

Fascinating....thanks for the informative video....

[@rleeAZ]

Milling lumber, especially forest product of such quality is like poetry. Every log has a unique rhythm and rhyme.

[@mccallan2798]

I always feel much better after watching one of your videos Sir. Like spar therapy, only MUCH better.

[@nhtom8]

Those boards are pure gold.

[@jussikolehmainen6310]

Thats like striking into gold vein! Lucky you! Even being able to saw a log like that is real honor.

[@kenjohnson4461]

outstanding looking wood

[@ohwowthatsgood]

How long will it sit before you feel it will be good to start working with?

[@jeffwolinski2659]

Beautiful grain on that!!!

[@subsidized2778]

Greetings from southern illinois. White oaks seem to be harder to find. We just bought a wood mizer lt15wide after using a 36 in alaskan mill for a year. Plenty of red oaks but havent got a white oak yet. Only cutting what the wind blows down. The last burr oak was 45 in across for 12 ft. You're right patience is key. Some folks just cant stand to wait for 8/4 to dry.

[@jeffreyspilker2209]

Amazing that is some beautiful lumber. Love this episode

[@smd58tx]

Wonderful lumber! I'll need to drive down to Oregon to try to find something similar for an upcoming console project.

[@Marine-wj4jv]

You can clear lacquer the bark pieces and you use colored epoxy in the imperfections in the boards. Lots of options! Beautiful lumber.

[@squatch2461]

Thanks for sharing all that. Beautiful wood, of course. Funny how time goes by when you've got other stuff to do. I just realized a piece of wood I couldn't wait to use had been put up a year ago.

[@supermo26]

Cool to hear the knowledge.

[@tumbleweed1976]

Thank you men. Educational.

[@rockscho1]

WOW, beautiful, thank you, sir

[@Zerostar369]

Wow! I would love to get my hands on some of that!

[@TheOldManAndTheSaw]

Excellent results! Don't you just LOVE Oak?

[@chriswilson9230]

I’m a novice, or as I say, a weekend warrior, but that wood is beautiful. I see great opportunities. I stumbled upon your channel by accident, but now I am a regular.

[@JustinArrington]

That tree is absolutely beautiful. I'd love to know the history behind it. Can you summarize why it had to come down? The furniture that will be built from it will last beyond your great grandchildren. Keep up the good work!

[@keithparady2594]

That’s wicked awesome

[@kyleropcean8968]

So jealous! Beautiful lumber!

[@larrycutting4514]

Beautiful grain! Will make some amazing anything you do with it!

[@davidquirk8097]

Man, that wood has some beautiful figure to it. I can't wait to see the end product when you finally get to use it.

[@freedomforever6718]

I'm visualizing a beautiful oak dresser.

[@BAD_CONSUMER]

I'm thinking blacksmithing projects like the huge table he made.

[@57Dalv]

Amazingly beautiful

[@butterbean802]

Great video!

[@brianbob7514]

That is some beautiful wood

[@rightawayrenovations]

awesome thank you

[@jvin248]

That small piece from the crotch "didn't know what to do with that" is perfect to cut into blanks for the pen turning hobbyists. Or drawer pulls. Or guitar inlays.

[@tesladrummer]

I was going to suggest the same thing and add scales for knives, etc.

[@proximap2151]

Beautiful!

[@robthewaywardwoodworker9956]

That i some beautiful lumber.

[@BrianEhrler]

Wow that is some beautiful wood

[@psidvicious]

When the tree came down, you could really see the extent of interior rot was significant, because the whole thing just collapsed in on itself on impact with the ground. It’s great that sections were able to be salvaged into such beautiful lumber.

[@Jdmsword14]

those slabs are so beautiful

[@kdworak4754]

Incredible.

[@-Kreger-]

Could make a great front door. That wood turned out really great.

[@EightWheelsRollin]

Beautiful wood. Those guys did you solid!

[@magicworldbyjorg]

,a cool video keep up the great content.. Thank you…… Greetings Jörg

[@jamesgreen3831]

Beautiful lumber

[@timbertownusa1776]

love Oregon White oak what an amazing tree one slow growing dense tree.

[@paulhallgren7001]

Very good video . most informative... what did it cost to turn the white oak into usable lumber

[@greatitbroke]

That wood most likely would have been in the fire pit if it wasn't for that friend of yours egging you to come look so hard. You have a gold mine there. Wow that tree is one of a kind. You will have a problem matching that grain to anything else. Incredible. Gold mine.

[@giovannifiorentino8947]

Master class.

[@krenwregget7667]

that is some gorgeous lumber. Clear grain white oak is going for $7+ per board foot in my area so you a mint there.

[@dankeen4030]

Nice Lucas mill

[@dremwolf5419]

Beautiful piece of wood. I was though waiting for Matthew Cremona to throw a bucket of water on it to show off that beauty.

[@patriots1needed]

Wow. Those rays!

[@cmiller6352]

White Ox were my glove choice hauling chips in the early 2000s up and down the Willamette Valley, including RFP in Dillard.

[@bikeomatic8005]

How long will they sit for?

[@Horribous]

Stunning boards

[@mcseforsale]

I know of a nice little garage wood shop in Ga that those offcuts would look good in.

[@chrisl7511]

Dang man that's some gorgeous lumber, guy I work with mills his own lumber, I know the camera doesn't do it justice. This is rough cut folks! Planed, sanded and stained... breathtaking!

[@TrevorDennis100]

Goodness, that was really interesting. I've never seen oak that promised to look so good. I'd give serious money for even just one of those boards. I live in New Zealand and we export a LOT of wood, but it is hard for us to source nice hardwood.

[@mrmuck3917]

use those waste pieces for resin soaked crib boards! theyd look amazing
