Levi's Tree ID Video kzbin.info/www/bejne/onWtmWRqad2Lbcksi=ag9NtkhYnt3omqFE

[@Mtntopwoodshop]

Awesome….Great video! Nice work Levi. Thank you!

[@jeffclarke4720]

Nice new hat..ha

[@lindsaydowns6925]

I love your choice of not having any intentions on buying anything. Everybody needs some of that stuff.

[@craigsmith2889]

Something that always comes out in your videos is that Levi is a worker. I’m sure it is a solid trait that rings true in your entire family but since Levi is a part of your day-to-day operation you just can’t help but see his strong work ethic. Every once in a while you mention Eva’s boyfriend working down at the wood yard. It would be nice to have his introduction. Thanks for sharing today’s video.

[@jimmorrisy7881]

I really like Levi. He has a great personality, he works hard, and he’s very smart. The last couple videos he has had more time in front of camera and his presentations about tree species was very interesting. I suggest you have him more involved in your KZbin videos.

[@davidmorse8432]

I second that motion! 🙂

[@jacobbuckley8232]

Levi will be his succession plan. They’ll ensure that the channel continues as Mike enters his 60’s. We will likely see more of Levi.

[@christopherday4021]

Hi Mike, Looking at the hat you are wearing. You must have purchased and Vermeer machine. I bet its ATX 960.

[@dougwalk8034]

I'm wondering what you guys in PA call "HOT" there, here in central AZ it was 115 most of he day friday, but only 18% humidity, so while it feels 'hot and uncomfortable' out in the sun, you really don't sweat, but I remember in FL when it was 95 and 95% humidity, it was unbearably wet and sweaty, but here if you are in the shade, it is actually comfortable and we try to remember what it felt like in our past lives what shoveling that cold, icy, wet, filthy, slushy snow with frozen ears, face, fingers was like ???

[@sidqcampbell6892]

That was a huge tree. I can only imagine the conversations that took place sitting under it! Some of your viewers probably saw a clothes line for the first time also.. Many times I helped hang laundry from a line this like this one... Thanks for the memories! Have a great week!

[@brianhosey3811]

Great upload! Love the final statement "I don't plan on buying anything" ...and then the 5.56 box. Love it! Atta boy Mike!

[@rattlesnakebbq]

Mike, For a guy who is time conscience, your idea to hand sand your lumber for the cabin in W.V with an orbital sander...is to say the least going to take you a lot of time...I suggested you go to a cabinet or architectural shop and have them sand your wood...after thinking about it, that would not be a good idea...after loading, hauling, unloading, reloading, hauling and off loading...way to much of a waste of time. The only thing I can suggest is buying a 18" drum sander...then use it and when your finished, sell it if it's not needed. Grizzly makes a 18" 1-1/2 HP Open-End Drum Sander w/ VS Feed for $995.00..Good Luck and if you still are heart set on hand sanding with an orbital sander...Happy Sanding!

[@keithburch5506]

What a big difference in temps!! When will you ever have time to just sit in that swing and not have a project to get to? I think one day when all is done, Levi's family and Hunter, maybe one of the girls come, just to spend a long weekend. Ride the side by side, go canoeing, and have a cookout. Now that would make a fantastic video! Your field is looking greener. The deer thank you. Yellow and black, no idea. There's always great stuff to look forward to on your channel. I did some price checking at Midsouth and Midway last night. Loaded ammo is higher, but reload components are still sort of reasonable. Brass is the highest cost. Powder is double pre covid. I will continue loading my own. Im retired, not healthy. Projects done at my loading bench is perfect. May 17, pneumonia. At hospital they diagnosed me w Afib. Here we go. Test and more tests, xrays, new meds, blood thinner, oh boy!! I do so enjoy watching your projects, really helps my attitude. Thanks Mike. As always, i can't wait for your next post!!👍🚜❤️🙏🇺🇲🇺🇲

Thats why we love our place, cant see anything but woods surrounding us and every once in a while we hear one of two neighbors!, i love sitting and listening to mother nature!. 96.6 yesterday and i finished up limbing up trees that we mow around and the heat was just tough on this old man!. Its to hot to sit on the tractor and mow!, lololo. Great buy i just bought another 1,000 rounds. I cant wait for tomorrow's video!.

Had a Box Elder Maple 6 ft across trunk.... huge and tall.. Invasive Norway Maples growing big too.

[@kevingerlach7517]

wow! What a TREE! A llot of years in that one. Love how you find something to share and your son giving a great overview of the work being done. Thank You for sharing.

[@thebradleysoncatbirdhill6849]

Mike, I know exactly what you mean regarding milling in the heat.I had the saw mill running for a good bit yesterday, and felt like a wet rag at the end of the day. I would love to talk to Levi sometime. When I was getting my horticulture and landscape design degrees, we spent a ton of time doing tree identification. Loved it !👍

[@ShawnJesih]

Random comment here. I’m a long time viewer of your videos and absolutely love them. I’m from your area (Monroeville), a foreman for our Municipality, and former tree business owner, and excavator owner. We have a lot in common, for sure. Anyways, music request for any upcoming videos. Try Zack Bryan for some of your sawmill and trail riding time lapse videos. I think it’d fit the overall feeling of the videos and connect with your viewers. Just a thought! I look forward to meeting you someday! Take care!!

[@fricknjeep]

hi there all though i have a circular saw mill i spray everything including the blade with a diesel/oil mix after sawing , after pine because of the sticky ,and after the oak because of the oak metal thing , great show best to all john

[@NewtonWashinton]

I always chuckle when I see a case of the good stuff go in the back of the truck. 👍👍

[@terrypomatto907]

I am excited waiting to see your new Kiln dryer where it will be located and operating success... I feel that Levi is an asset to your business and enjoy watching/learning about trees and plants.

[@routh77]

The elbow on the fuel tank is rusting and staining your diesel tank. I would swap that part or coat it with something because that is a nice new tank. Seems like it would make a good video also. Cheers

[@Z-Bart]

That porch swing looks like the perfect way to decompress.

[@rb2530]

Those 1st 4 off cuts of the logs on your mill...Long term camp ground guys salivate for those things if they can get them on the cheap. I knew some guys that would go around to the small mills like yours and pay the guy some $$ for a dump trailer load. The guys would use their own dump trailer then cut them to length at the camp ground...

[@Shippusher]

GOOOOOOOD SATURDAY MAAAAAAAAWNIN EVERYON!!!!… its sure is a miserably hot 🥵day here in Virginia Beach & even hotter tomorrow…I’m NOT a fan of these temps. Mike thanks for taking us along. Great video & fantastic editing. Catch yinz tomorrow Have a day HELLOOOO HUNTER 😊

[@josephkitchel6259]

I’m glad you had Levi on to help identify the types of trees. We have a second home in Middle Tn, along with just over 400 acres of trees and farm land. About the only tress I can identify are oaks, hackberry’s , walnut and cherry. We have a lot more, so,I,look,forward to seeing Levi’s discussion. Stay well, and I enjoy your programs 1

[@joelrust6647]

Good morning ~ Happy Saturday!! Enjoyed your conversation with Levi . . . I just subscribed to his KZbin channel.

Good Morning Morgan Family 🌞- Have a Fabulous and Blessed Day 🤠

[@tommyordoyne7461]

Good morning from Upstate South Carolina. That deer was close, but they know it's not deer season. Have another productive day. P.S. The new machine is Vermeer, right? See hat. Also, you might want to clean the bird droppings off of the swing before you sit on it. I don't plan on buying anything, just 1000 rounds of 5.56x45mm.

[@timber240]

Levi smiles just like him mom. Such a great gift to have.

Hey Mike, put an “exclusion cage” out in your food plot. It will show you how much the deer are eating!

[@jmalone2758]

Mike, if you think an orbital sander is going to affect that lumber the way you want, best to try it at home 1st. One trip thru a dewalt planner and edger is what you need. That red pine makes for some quality lumber.Was a time when a man could sell his lumber products to local General Store. Was quite a few sawyers in my county when I was a kid. I can name 5 withing 5 sq miles of me, all long gone now. They ran the big blades powered by large diesel engines many times more powerful than required. Love your little Wild Wonderful Mtn get away.

[@582ChevelleSS]

Absolutely love Levi. He's a gifted young man with how he speaks and presents himself. You and Melissa have done an amazing job raising your children.

Hi Mike. That the most biggest locust tree! I ever seen! 😮😮😮😳😳😳🥰🥰🥰😊😊😊👍👍👍 The biggest locust tree in Vermont & Upstate N.Y is 42 inches wide. They're live too. These trees are very straight. Beautiful trees too. Your in-law's tree is got to be 6 feet wide! That's amazing! Normally. Vermont's biggest trees are sugar maple, maple, & red oak. 4 to 5 feet wide. Some has wind damaged branches. Me & my brother at that time. We used pick up those damaged limbs for firewood. Completely dry wood. If they were " green." We take the limbs off. Then cut them 4 feet long for future firewood. 95% of trees are dry & dead. Apple tree are very difficult to "read." The new growth travels over the " dry limbs." I tackled 30 inch pear tree. It wood smoke was like " elm." Smells like " fresh leather." Those were the days. The locust trunk would make wonderful lumber. It's wonderful firewood. It leaves beautiful red coals. We cutting 4 to 5 inch dead locust trees. I dislike split locust fencing. ( It's a "novelty fencing" in Vermont & Upstate N.Y. 🤔🙄😬🤨😐😑😔) It's a waste of hardwood trees for fencing to me. Levi is great. He should be called T.H.E. Levi. ( The Hardwood Expert.) 😆😆😆😁😁😁🥰🥰🥰😊😊😊 It sounds like your cabin is in higher elevation? We had an apartment in a elevated area. It will be 90 in our city of Bennington, Vermont. We'll be 75 in our elevated area. We were 20 mins north of Bennington. This was back in the summer of 1981. Then we moved 3 places & found a house on an elevated area in July/1986. It was hot, hazy, & humid summer there.😅😅😅😅 We lived for 25 yrs. The house was Upstate N.Y. The dirt road was West Shaftsbury aka North Bennington, Vt. ( There was no post office in West Shaftsbury. It in North Bennington. Which was 10 mins away.) The Vermonters refers our dirt road as: "The Plateau." Your red pine lumber will dry very well there. Well. Say Hi to Melissa, Eva, & Hunter. Have a good Saturday everyone. 🥰😊😉👍❤️💜🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🌲🌳

[@RobertLake-mf2qt]

You know, Mike, your place in West Virginia is so quiet and peaceful plus full of wildlife, I don't think I would want to do any hunting down there. I would just leave it peaceful for you and the wildlife. Try to do things that promote and ensure that very thing. Tranquility is what you want; just make is so. OK, you have a new 4-wheeler that can go over hill and dale, but just keep in mind that main focus. All the best to you and yours!

[@brianshea5423]

Good Afternoon Mike! As a formor Mill foreman in my younger days, your attention to detail "sticking lumber" is spot on and extremely important to get quality straight, uniform boards. Do yourself a favor, put some "off fall" or waste boards on stickers on top of your last layer on the stickered pile as cover boards to prevent cupping and especially "sun checking" of your top boards. When you add to the stack, throw the cover boards aside and add to the stack then re-use the cover boards again. As always another Great video !! ENJOY YOUR DAY!!👍

You’re right, it’s in the Beech family. I think they were asking if shingle oaks were in the red or white oak “group.” To that question, Mike was right; it’s in the red oak group.

I decided either I could bring it down when and where I wanted, or some storm could bring it down when and where it wanted. When I did cut it, I found that almost 80% of the cross section of the tree at one point was dead and rotting with a crack across the grain.
