As they say, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I do not understand why so many people think that spalted maple is so wonderful. Not me. Clear unspalted maple is beautiful to me . I am an old woodworker and I know what I like. So if you watch sawmill videos and you don't understand what the fuss about spalted maple is all about, then know you aren't alone.

The saying "It's what's on the inside that counts" sure applies to trees... :-) The can be so beautiful!

This is one of my favorite channels because of the explanations that you give. The way that you pass along what you have learned makes this channel special Thank you

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

Cool, thanks!

Ooh, there was some VERY NICE lumber from that that log Nathan & , as you predicted, some nice spalting too. Very absorbing viewing, thanks for sharing. Don from South Australia.

Wow….the grain in that wood is beautiful. It looks like it drawn with an ink pen.

I watch a lot of saw milling on KZbin, but lately its gotten difficult to watch other channels. It seems they are working way to hard, you make it look easy my friend! Its also nice to hear the Tennessee accent. I grew up in the Knoxville area, but im living in Kansas City now and I really miss people that speak properly 🤭

Out curiosity which other channels do you watch? I only ever see this one and Matt Cremonas channel.

@@misfitramone There are several, but I don't want to advertise for them on Nathan's channel. Search saw milling and you will have plenty.

I like your channel because my Grandfather was a in German called Stellmacher. He build woodwheels and Waggons coaches and he had a sawmill in German called Gatter. One blade saw vertikal. It is still there and his Workshop too As i was a kid i joint my Grandfather and my father when they worked with the sawmill and in Front of our house were stacked planks as high that you canot look outside the Front Windows.. My Grandfather and my father are long gone but the memorries came back when i see you working Take care yours Frank Galetzka

Nice looking wood there. Did learn something today. Thanks and have a great weekend. 👍

[@craigsudman4556]

Good stuff Nathan, it is interesting to note that the act of sawing one's own lumber is a good lesson for all of us. The ability to find great value in bug eaten and microbe infested product and value it for the defects they cause rather than looking at the product as spoiled. Great video thumbs up.

Hi from Grand Rapids MI. Watch your channel regularly and enjoy your presentations, (straight-forward and highly understandable from a strictly non saw mill point of view, like myself). Also a subscriber. Would you consider doing a segment on electric back up generators. I've been researching several different makes of portable models for electric backup for my suburban home, a confusing experience to say the least. Without mentioning any manufacturers, (although I am seriously looking at a Champion portable inverter type, 8750 surge watts). I would also definitely look into converting it to Nat Gas. Don't like messing with gasoline and LP needs to be heated in winter to be efficient (or even work). I already use NG for heat so it is the logical choice for us. Do you have electric backup, either a portable or standby with auto transfer switch? I think electric power is headed in direction of less reliability as time goes on. What say you? Mark N from "the cold North".

[@mikezimmermann89]

I have no personal experience with home backup generators, but a KZbinr I subscribe to has done several evaluations and some install videos. He seems to know what he’s talking about. Check out Silver Cymbal.

It's been my experience with maple that it punks pretty quick, how have you and the previous owner of that log been able to keep it from going sour?

Does your shop smell like maple syrup when you saw up spalted maple? I love working with spalted maple because my shop smells like maple syrup when I run it through the table saw.

[@redrover1565]

I intensely dislike going to the local landfill due to flat tires; it's been that way for at least 5 decades. I guess it's not just here in S. Oklahoma. And, if we don't tarp the load, they charge another $15 as punishment; even if it didn't need a tarp.

[@craigsummerville8823]

Well, that’s the first time I have ever heard anyone equate the ambrosia beetle (technically, a weevil) with the boxelder bug (considered a ‘true bug’). Ambrosia maple has clear evidence of tunneling in the stained areas but I’ve only seen red streaking from trees that the boxelder bug has colonized around, no tunneling. I’ll admit that the term ‘ambrosia beetle’ encompasses a very broadly defined range but I don’t think it applies to the boxelder bug. Note: I am not an entomologist and I don’t play one on TV.

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

Yup...It's a fungus that forms when the tree gets damaged in some way. The ambrosia beetle will bore in and cause the green streaks...and then the fungus will occur, giving you the red. Pretty spectacular. If someone runs into the tree with a tractor, that'll cause the fungus to form as well...along with wind damage or anything else along those lines. Learned that my first year in college and have heard it repeated several times. By the way what’s TV? 😂😂
