Just watched this video and even the sawdust is clear. Beautiful wood to have Melissa’s uncle make a deck. It’s gorgeous.

[@terrynichols7199]

So glad that log is going to lumber and not fire wood. It's a beautiful red oak log.

[@marksherling2392]

Just love your channel. I live vicariously through you. Wonderful family and lifestyle.

[@malcolmcavalier7849]

It's a great day in the neighborhood, a fine video to watch and not one ad to interrupt it. What more could you ask for!

[@greglammers9905]

Wow! That’s a nice chunk of oak. When we built our house in 1998, I took some 70’ spruce down and some red oak, had a guy come in with a portable woodmiser ( on a trailer) and cut the logs. built my cabinets and did my basement with it. Turned out awesome. That is a beautiful log. That’s really gonna be cool in your office.

[@russellbowman8051]

Mike that is some Beautiful looking lumber!!👍👊

[@Cinder2008]

That log is so big, it makes your 4/4 pieces look like 3/8! Nice video.

[@OutdoorsWithTheMorgans]

Yea that’s funny you say that, I actually grabbed my tape and measured a few thought I screwed up they looked thin lol

[@Hootin_Holler]

I just wanted to say that I enjoy the videos and the work you do on your little slice of heaven. The intro to today’s video was one of the best yet. Kudos to the video editor!

That is one beauty of a red oak log. That will surely make some great furniture for the new building.

[@dickhansen8594]

Fantastic close up views. Really appreciate that. Thank you. And thank you for sharing. What a beautiful log.

[@dennism.mcnamara3863]

That red oak is awesome, and would make a beautiful cabinet or other household treasure.

[@OldVermontGuy]

Greetings from No. VT - A beautiful log, as a wood worker, I am so glad it is going to lumber rather than firewood!

[@alanswift8805]

Awesome red oak log. That will look great in your office.

[@steveashworth6707]

The power company took down two red oaks like yours 0n our place and I had one heck of a time removing them from the woods with my bobcat!, I hauled 15 logs out of there and it up for firewood for family members that needed it for heating. So I kept one 5' log thirty inches in diameter to make a coffee table and to end tables, I don't have a sawmill so I'm going to try and cut 2 boards 2" thick with a chainsaw and then try and plain them down!. Your sawmill does a great job can't wait to see your office!, I enjoy all your videos!.

[@tomeckermann6343]

Wow! That is some beautiful oak. I can’t wait to see how you use it.

[@mikegreatcarpbode6205]

Good morning from northern Iowa, going to be a beautiful day today back in the 70's love it. Mike you're right that is a beautiful log, when I was in construction red oak was exclusively used for all the trim boards, that I installed. Love to have huge boards like those. It's going to look great in your office. Have a day.

[@alexriddle6427]

Absolutely beautiful...Can’t wait to see the finished product in your office

[@bardee1]

Boy, that oak will make some great desk tops and other projects.

[@JD-zm4eh]

Good Morning everyone. Great weather here for election day, I encourage you to vote early and vote often. As for me, I’ll be off to vote and then to the Stihl store. Stay safe, be humble & kind and Have a day.

[@lonniechartrand]

I did not notice until today that you can adjust cutting width while sawing. Neat feature!

[@jimmieusaf-pol5818]

Just as I was thinking that log is probably to heavy to be flipping on the mill, without the mill moving, you took the right road once again, and didn't. Stay safe and healthy, Mike! Have a day!

[@jerrylittle8922]

Look forward to watching more Sawmilling content. Nice oak you have there. Cabinet stock.

[@ronalddean4834]

Good morning Mike a good slab of that wood would make a beautiful live edge table. There is some beautiful clear lumber coming out of that log. Thanks for sharing

[@SgtGiggs]

Man, I didn't appreciate the size of that LX150 until you put that log on there. That's a BIG log and your mill holds it fine. Amazing.

[@glennwolfe1663]

Mike that is some beautiful oak. In your new office will really stand out👍👍🤔

[@keithburch5506]

Yeah buddy, that is going to look so good in your office. How great this is - using your own tree, cutting it yourself, putting it in your office in the hobby barn that you also did a large percentage of the work. It will be so awesome to see you sit back at your desk and admire all that you've accomplished. Wonderful Mike, wow! Thank you so very much for letting me and your other followers to go along with you on your daily life, to also enjoy along with you, your sweet accomplishments. I just love this channel. Subscribed for life, anxiously waiting for the next post. Gotta go vote now.❤👍

[@TheFlyingfarmer28170]

Nice wood. One of the first logs I sawed on my woodmizer was a red oak about that size. I have not used much of it yet, and that was about 3 years ago. Part of it was quarter sawed. I have projects in mind but have not got to do them yet. Have a Great Day!

[@JohnSmith-tv5ep]

John S. Get on with using your material, life is too short to wait! Milled a massive black cherry from my property around 19 years ago. Had plans to use it for kitchen cabinets. Well, never made them, but still have the cherry! Now,...life changes things.

That's some BEAUTIFUL looking wood! You might want to think about making a desk for your office from one of the thickest slabs towards the middle of the log!

[@larrylong6794]

Have you thought of cutting a 5/4 or so and using it as a patio table or bar height table in the game room? The off fall rounds would make some cool live edge end table tops too! You got nice wood!!!😁

Awesome lumber from that red oak. Some of the slabs would make great desk or table tops. Like how you use a large drywall taping knife, like Nathan, to push off the saw dust.

[@merlewarnsholz2094]

Mike - Beautiful wood coming out of that log. Should make for something equally beautiful for your office. As I read Keith Burch's comments below, I'm thinking this man doesn't really know you. I don't see you ever sitting "back at your desk and admire all that you've accomplished." You may smile a bit here and there at your successes, but "sitting back," that's just not you. I'm betting you won't relax until they put you in the ground. I do join Keith in thanking you for bringing us along on your adventure there in the hundred acre wood. Blessings to you, Melissa, and the kids. Hi to the Hunt Man, Hannah, and Eva.

[@kevimc]

[@geraldharvill4699]

Beautiful wood Mike, that would be great to make some bookshelves out of, or other furniture, like a desk. You could use smaller lumber for sliding. Plenty of time to finish it. Cherry would look good inside siding. But your lumber, your choice

Very nice lumber, it'll be nice on a wall or making a door with a thicker cut. You need hydraulics on that mill to help turn/position logs. Hey, it's just a few dollars more to have a few cashews with your peanuts. Have a great day, thanks for sharing.

[@jimshoe6828]

Good morning Mike from MN. Make sure you get all the sawdust off of those pieces, oak is very susceptible to getting black stains if the sawdust is left on it. I think it is super fine iron shavings from the saw blade reacting with the tannins in the wood, whatever the cause, it is almost impossible to clean up if it happens. Nice oak, it is looking really good 👍👍
