[@jamesburke5709]

Dutch I'm curious does the mill have grease serts for you to put grease in it for the different places on it cause to me the main saw barrings on it needs to be greased up again and yeah that's a good idea about using a metal detecter for finding out if it has nails or anything metal in the log itself too

[@arlenewheaton5262]

Part of the fireplace mantle

[@joetaylorchristmastree2866]

Hi 👋 good afternoon 😘

[@jaynebrandon7184]

Yeah hey Dutch yeah I like that that side there and how it ain't straight edge and you know like it's real wood looks really good thumbs up 😁👍

[@jaynebrandon7184]

I was hoping that you would so Bobby and Betty cute I don't even hear him squawking talking??

[@markholmes1346]

Make a bench or table for the house, desk top anything like that. Put some urethane on top. After seeing the end of the log, you almost need to cut more to see if it’s rotten! Good luck figuring out what to do. ✌🏼❤️🙏🏼

[@novabustamante2211]

It would make a beautiful bench

[@joanlenhard82]

Dutch I would love to see this as a coffee table, or the head of a desk in the girls room, or on their wall, or a head board on their beds. Your front porch could use a small bench to put packages for UPS on. You could do a lot of things with this I could keep you busy all day. I love the wood, lucky you.

[@shotsistrunk9241]

Use it for a fireplace mantel or a flower box on front porch, or a shelf somewhere in your house.

[@judithdowell3164]

It is amazing to me… people don’t even begin to know the projects you have up in your head, for the wood. First things first… finish the buildings! One step at a time. You are doing great Dutch!!!!!

[@sandyc6569]

😊👍

[@pamelahouser3487]

👍🏻👌🏻🙋🏼‍♀️🙏🏻

[@bethcarte3551]

Me personally id either use it as a bench or a counter for an outdoor grilling area

[@tilly28569]

How about using it to make a bench or a table for the patio. Somewhere to sit drink your coffee. Looks fab 😊🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@katherinemclean7103]

Pearl and Percy have grown SOOO much lately. I'm thinking that Pearl is feeling so much better! The wood is fabulous! I'm sooo jealous. What a wonderful thing to be able to create your slabs from your own trees! Prayers for you and your whole family's health and safety! That includes all your furred and feathered critters!🙏🤗❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤗🙏

[@renah2509]

That piece of lumber is gorgeous..I'm with you a bench would be awesome for your new house . I just love Gabby and Gracie they are such good dogs... God bless from East Texas...

[@sheilavanduynfote5539]

I don’t blame you for checking when you hear noises like that close to your property!!! In my opinion you are in the boon docks. Gracie and Gabby look like twins I have a hard time telling them apart. Definitely love the Rae edge and I love your channel so family friendly👏🏻❤️

[@sandyc6569]

😊👍

[@kathleenbueter1272]

Sheila I do too. For a while now. I just love those shepherds

[@lornaherlache1950]

I love the siding on your little cabin! Very unique idea!

[@sandyc6569]

Same!! 😊

[@kayashmore4296]

Since you have been siding with live edge siding I have seen several homesteaders do the very same thing. Sometimes as partial walls and sometimes the whole siding job. I like it.

[@lottie2525]

The wood is really pretty, you could use it in the house for a window seat maybe.

[@annsteber9914]

That piece would make a beautiful table top or the back of a bench seat. It truly is a gorgeous piece.

[@sinbads.4189]

I'm soo glad you decided to keep that beautiful wood. That is absolutely gorgeous. Just love it.

[@chrisknauss8859]

Love the live edge love. Plus you enjoy milling the trees 🌲 ❤️

[@gaylevincent2397]

The log is definitely beautiful, you could make a bench swing or a picnic table but whatever you decide it will be awesome 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 thank you for sharing have a wonderful evening 😊😊

[@sandyc6569]

😊👍

[@dianeshort8066]

Love the live edge siding.

[@thereseburton1414]

That live edge siding is amazing. That wood would make a great floating shelf on a wall in your house. Those scraps would make for a fancy dog or pig house to match. Also you can use a torch on the wood to bring out the grain more. That works well on the pieces that don't have as much character.

[@carolynmesser7199]

I absolutely love the live edge Dutch so cool . 😊💕

[@lynnelovett8999]

Mr. Dutch make a table or bench out of it. May you and your family have a blessed safe Memorial Day and weekend.

[@deborahgilliland1804]

That wood would make a really nice narrow table or stand that would go behind a sofa or under a TV hanging on the wall. Maybe even som shelves. It's really beautiful wood.

[@Leglag724]

It would make a beautiful wall hung headboard. You could even cut the smaller sections into small wall mount bedside tables. All you need to do is poly it after you cut it to size. What an incredible find!!

[@marymurphy5245]

I love the way the small cabin looks with that siding.😊❤️🙏🏻🍀

[@sandyc6569]

Same!

[@donnaflanagan6612]

Very cool Sean, maybe Kevin could suggest something with that lumber, as he has done different household & farm projects that turned out beautiful😊 Pearl & Percy seem like they are doing well❤️ Take care & cheers 🐨🦘🥰

[@donwiley1055]

I see you love to be at the sawmill sometime today I guess that's relaxation but I tell you one thing I would take it and make me a nice little bench out of it cuz it'll be pretty keep up the good work man I can't wait for the next video

[@barbaramalloy6565]

A bench would be awesome, it could be placed by a window or even by your fireplace! Anywhere you place it will be nice.

[@lornaherlache1950]

I’d make a table, or a seat for your new home! It is gorgeous!

[@lindapeterson1135]

A friend of mine made a sitting bench out of. Pieace like that and put some kind of resin stuff over top of it. It was very beautiful you could make one to put as you come in the door of your house

[@charlenegrady8781]

I love the live edge. Gives it character. You are so lucky you have that wood mill. The prices today are nuts. Good luck. Have a good weekend❤️🇺🇸

[@brendahogue5487]

Love your videos and enjoy watching them every time they come on. May the Lord bless you and your family

[@nancyamick8202]

I agree with you! It’s beautiful wood! Tv stand or table of some kind. When your house is finished you’ll find a use for it!

[@norinegemberling5481]

Yes, a table of some kind. Cut it thicker for strength, cut it shorter, run it through a table saw on one edge, glue the pieces together with the live edge to the outside. It would be beautiful.

[@byronf.bingham6291]

I have to agree with you. I really like the live edge lumber.

[@debbieadams712]

I absolutely love the live edge on your tiny cabin. My son just bought a sawmill. He is visiting us this weekend and I am going to show him this video. I want to do the live edge on my tact shed and our pole barn. Your property is beautiful. I hope that you are having good luck with your pond. God bless you and your family and thank you for the video.

[@carolsmith6383]

I once saw where a guy took some beautiful raw edge and put poly in the middle of the boards dyed blue. It looked like a stream running through the middle of the boards. I believe he made a desk top from it. Gorgeous piece of furniture.

[@barbaraharrold5361]

Maybe make a table with it? It sure is pretty:) it’s crazy when you’re out in the Woods how sound travels, it seems closer then what it is. Tfs Have a wonderful weekend and Thank You for your service!!! God Bless:)

[@lunachic03dh]

I like the raw edge siding. I would be careful to line all layers up. I think it looks GREAT!!!

[@sandyc6569]

I love the wood siding! It more or less one of a kind cause ain't no pieces the same! I think whatever you do decide to do with it,is gonna be beautiful!!! 👍❣❣❤❣❣👍

[@amerritt261]

That would make a beautiful park bench if you were to slab it. A great addition to your new porches.

[@kimberlyhoward7896]

That log has an awesome pattern! You could definitely make things 🥰! I’m glad you investigated what was going on! It’s just so you know. I really like how the tiny cabin/ office/ guest house looks. Thank you for sharing, take care 💕🤗!

[@marywilson6888]

You could cut it thin enough to make a few beverage serving trays or some decorative wall panel type pictures or maybe even a small wall cabinet or decorative boxes.

[@phendrahend9530]

Build the pantry shelves, or kitchen and or bathroom counters with it. Perfect for pouring a river and sealing. Maybe a bench for the back or front porch, or around a fire ring if you' re going to dedicate a space for that. A planter?

[@russellwatters5891]

Pearl looks great, and Percy is filling out well! The oak log milled up great, I love the live edge planking for siding on the tiny house/tiny cabin/makeshift office/guesthouse/...lol Love ya'll ❤️

[@nancybarnes9825]

I love how the tiny cabin is coming along that piece of lumber 🪵 is absolutely Beautiful as many have already said a coffee table would be so amazingly beautiful 😍🐻

[@helmuthschultes9243]

I would have thought to maximise yield the smaller diameter end was better to trim for max saw length than larger diameter end. The chain saw trim appears to have removed the bigger end. So reducing number of slabs to be cut. To the thin diameter.

[@kentuckybluegrassliving7718]

Amazing sawmill work you boggle the mind how much you know and can do ! Hard working extremely intelligent!

[@annmiller154]

Hi Sean! Can you sharpen the sawmill blade? To extend the life of the blade? That log would make a great coffee table! It’s beautiful!

[@jeanettec6212]

Woe that would be a beautiful head bed post! Or use as a wall decor and scribe in a favorite scripture, or put keeping it Dutch on it or your last name. Of course benches and shelves. Its endless what you can do with it. Beautiful!

[@PaullaWells]

Oh wow! Make matching outdoor side tables. So beautiful! Plus it would give you a chance to see if just one more cute lets out more beauty. Tables plus another piece you could maybe make a table to match as well. Gorgeous!

[@joebufford2972]

try starting your Milling at the big end, when you get all the way to the other end flip it over so you have a flat side and you may get a better yield and more consistent boards

[@lindahipp8329]

Don't blame you for checking to see if someone was on your land. The pond looks like it's holding water. Glad to see Pearl acting like she feels so much better. You could use that wood for a table, bench or headboard just to name a few. Take care and stay safe out there. GOD BLESS Y'ALL.

[@lisabriscolino3417]

That wood looks awesome- make a coffee table or end table out of it- give it to Kevin at HHF to make something from it! I enjoy watching you mill up lumber ❤️

[@novabustamante2211]

I love it there is someone that lives close by me that has done that on their little storage shed and it looks amazing

[@ndnichols5392]

I love the natural look of your siding! Great job!

[@katherinemckinney585]

I love the Live Edge siding on the building's I think The Rustic look is great you can even use some of that scrap siding and covering chicken coops and stuff to make it all look the same

[@donnabopp9327]

I love the look of the live edge siding you have been cutting! Those Kuni Kuni pigs are just the cutest little creatures.

[@Breanna7]

Love the wood. Sure would look wonderful down the center of a kitchen table. Beautiful.

[@bobbieingram634]

Wow that is beautiful lumber! I was thinking a bench or something over your Fireplace. So much you could do with it. So happy for you all and great job your doing on your place. I know it feels good to know you've done most of the work along with your good friend. God bless you and your family!

[@rebeccanarducci6247]

Hello Dutch. Definitely beautiful!! Benches on your deck fill the holes dawn soap salt water flush them out, Book case, shelf over your fire place all good one family project. Good job.

[@margaretsalyer5442]

I love the live edge look! It’s really looking good!

[@robertlamb7513]

Dutch you are not the only one that checks loud noises. The old blades off your mill a knife maker might buy them off you or trade for them the tree that looks so nice it could be made into a mantle for your fireplace or as you said a bench or a top for a outdoor table would be nice too

[@serenadedbyangels]

Wow that is a beautiful piece of wood! Definitely a chair, bench or a table. But ask Brandi or even Kevin, I'm sure you guys could think of something. 👍🏽whatever you make, it will be something to cherish for a long time. 😌

[@alysiachristensen5475]

Super cool!!! Looks like a branch grew inside a trunck. Headboard, countertop, or maybe my favorite, a sofa table…. Long and narrow or long footrest. It’s beautiful!!! And I love the live edge!!!

[@janetwithers7427]

That is a very cool log with it's unique design. You can do several things with it. Couple of benches. Wall hangings, bed headboard ,( make sure termites are all gone). A sign with your homestead name carved in it. An idea for left over pieces, make a big dog house using the smaller pieces for siding. Interesting video. 💞

[@dapacathomeca8232]

Enjoyed the adventures into the woods. One never knows who could be lurking. Gabby and Gracie are having fun playing and checking out the wood pile...perhaps for a dog house!

[@FarawayPrepper]

Great video brother. Here in the mountains of New England in the middle of nowhere I’m trying to fix up an old cabin. I’m 22 trying to stay out of big cities where day by day gets harder and dangerous to live. Just started my channel and let’s see how it goes. Stay safe and work hard to make your life better bc politicians will never care about us. Practice situational awareness everywhere you go.

[@bethminnick6728]

Cut it about 1 and 1/2 thick and make a table top out of it. It's beautiful!

[@mikerequa820]

That's some beautiful wood for sure. That little battery powered stihl saw kickin ass. Love that saw mill does a really nice job. Thanks for sharing

[@joygraves6038]

I think it would make a beautiful table. I would like to see it above your front door as decoration .Everyone would see it when visiting Dutch, love watching.

[@DONNABROWN1959]

I love that one! A mantle? Over the masonry heater? Prayers and Blessings always

[@beckymiller2185]

The way our world is these days. Its always good to check it out. Nice work on the cabin.

[@ellliwhite8773]

Hello everyone, how are you? It was nice to see you riding through the property showing us your beautiful creek. The kids have grown Soo much, Wow. Becareful letting them ride on that high grass without a machete. A bunch of people are getting bitten by copperheads, so be careful. I think you should make a kitchen counter, and night tables for your bedroom out of the little pieces, that's gorgeous. You should look at " Blacktail Studio," Resin table build. The house it's looking great.

[@SoFloSteve]

I agree a bench would be awesome. Maybe, by the front door to take off boots etc.

[@Godlover614]

Take the section of wood that the large mark is in, cut a design into the edges on either end (maybe make it look "torn?"), then put a sturdy wire on the back of it and hang it on a finished wall in the new house. Voila! A fabulous piece of art!

[@lindaharkey424]

Use blue resin to make a river and make a table or shelves. A fireplace mantel it would be beautiful. It could be a worm that attacks oak wood. The wood is very expensive and called wormy oak. It is used in alot of furniture making. Do you use ivory soap in your water? It acts like a lubricant and helps with the friction on the blades. We have been milling with a Woodmizer LT 40 mill for over 31 years. There are so many things you can make with wood from your mill. Your house is coming along great.

[@THEFALCON58]

Hi Dutch, you can use bond crete, it's white drys clear, paint it on seal the wood /from the weather stops it going black from the weather.? wood worker for 42 years

[@janssillypetvideos1224]

Hi Dutch. That is a nice tree trunk. The design is unique on it. You are very talented you will find something to make. Enjoying your video as always. God Bless you and the family. Have a great weekend. Jan

[@janellreno7480]

It looks like a branch was painted on it,That is so awsome🤗❤️

[@williamgahman5028]

Hi Dutch. Great job and video of you getting lumber cut for your project Anyway to save money God bless and Love Ya'll 💖💖👍👍

[@amosallgyer2614]

Beautiful hall or sofa table. End table. Cabinet doors... endless possibilities!!!

[@doubleoddbs4357]

Yes I think glue and saw dust will help as long as it has time to dry, also you should buy a 5 gallon bucket of wood sealer and give it a couple coats with a sprayer if you can after you let it dry out a little bit, looks great ! I also like the natural bark edge 👍👍

[@andypickle1584]

I see a few comments that suggest a poly coat to seal. Maybe someone else has made this suggestion already, but I'd suggest you look up resin or epoxy pour table tops. Cool thing is by adding powder pigment you can add some impressive color. Make a clean cut down the middle of a plank. Flip the clean edge to the outside. Build a form. You can tape or hot glue the seams to prevent leakage. The raw edges are left raw but grind off the bark and sand. The two raw edges go to the middle leaving an organic space you fill with the resin. Bust open the form and finish using planer, sander, router, what's available. Another cool feature is to run an electric current via nails and a arc welder. Can also use jumper cables but be sure to ground. It burns into the wood following the sap. Looks like a forked lightning bolt. Clean out the burnt wood and fill with what you like. I've seen turquoise pebbles and resin. Lots of videos about this on utube. Have fun with it.

[@micaelahawkins5565]

You could possibly use the thinner piece & put it over the house front door, or inside over front door as conversation & art piece, or use over cabin front door if too thin for house. Then use the next piece to make a matching bench & small table by front door. Morning coffee there. 😊

[@rebeccaplumlee9601]

Been watching since day 3 of lockdown... by now I see u guys like family... cuzins or nephew & nice since u r younger than most of my kids

[@darleanbates9985]

I like it. Great job. Much love, prayers and blessings.🙏❤️

[@gigitannahill4606]

Yes, I love the live edge look!!!!!

[@michellemybelle4734]

My husband has worked with wood for over 30 years. Oak dies from the inside out and you can't pressure treat it. It's beautiful and my husband really likes oak for indoor use.

[@grannyframmy]

Make a table of the beautiful wood! It got to be something that you can display and make a focal point out of. Its awesome!

[@sstarr03]

I saw a table where they built a frame around the slabs of oak and also a bottom. They then poured blue polyurethane between the oak boards with some small river rock pebbles. Once it was dry, then they poured clear polyurethane on top. Once they had the level they wanted, they let it dry, then they pulled the frame boards off, sanded and polished to desired finish. It was beautiful.

[@cynthiapowell5560]

I love the lumber. I see a beautiful bench.

[@wandaschmidt4046]

That tree would make an awesome table, bench or end table. Just beautiful!!

[@elaineschwarzhoff238]

I love the siding on the cabin! So rustic

[@lindamaskus5142]

My hubby has same issue with his scroll saw blades. Sometimes he goes thru them pretty fast. Other times they'll last longer. What an awesome board Dutch! You'll figure out what to do with it. 😛 (Sofa table would be awesome)

[@julie-annecordwell3290]

Love the natural siding on your little cabin love from Kingston Queensland Australia

[@pamalahatfield2075]

It would make a beautiful bench or table!! I love natural wood!!

[@whats_herName]

That's what adds character to building your homestead. Yes set it to the side, protected. You could always turn it into a beam to carry the load of the upstairs so when you look up you have a story for that log. We cut some beautiful logs to use for steps in our house. Just cut the log off flat and leave rounded like your first slice through a log. Every time you walk upstairs it's pleasant to see those special steps you made. And I want to tell you not to worry about those piles and brush in your 'yard' lol. It's a gradual thing ;) There will come a time when burning brush is the only thing you can do during some weather. You'll get to it. Every little bit helps. Do the girls like to drive around on the tractor with a cart doing some cleanup?

[@clarapurnell4247]

Make you a bench out of that., and a couple of small tables for the house. Would be real cool. Blessings, Prayers, Always

[@rebeccamunoz4596]

Yep beautiful piece of wood it looks like someone painted a branch inside the tree! A sign for the house numbers, benches for the porches or for inside the house. Man there's a million things ~ 🤗❤👍

[@stewartsutton95]

I love the live edge look. Cut 2 1/8 inch thick boards for later projects. These are high dollar pieces of wood and can be sold for a good profit.

[@pamelahousley7543]

Another informative video. Love how the little house is looking. Have a happy Memorial Day
