Great video. Old timers here in south Mississippi used to tell me when I was young that sinker cypress was the best wood you could build with and it would last forever. The only thing better was yellow heart pine.

[@michaelsix9684]

I had a house in Houston built in 1950, when we redid the kitchen, we cut out cabinets were built on site then, wood was pine, perfectly straight, no knots or damage, never seen wood that good since, my floors were red oak planks, they were removed before the house was demolished in 2014, old wood used in attic for framing was pine and hard as oak

I came here expecting to see a video about amazing wood being salvaged from a bog. What i saw instead was a slice of life video about hardworking sawmillers, if thats a word, getting the best out of a log and each other. Very low key and unassuming people, all. Up in Canada we know a thing or two about milling wood, carving, building and all that, but i was touched to see the camaraderie shared by these good ole boys to the south, pretty much matches our own. Very nice video, and thanks for sharing your slice of life, and logs, and family and dogs too. Cheers.

I had lots of fun and very nice tribute to Danny ! Thanks.

[@nixonkutz3018]

That fella with the checked shirt doing the long rip with the chainsaw, he's got some enviable patience! What a job. Is that Jake? The cypress is stunning. I have heard a lot over the years about recovering these sunk logs with their amazing first-growth rings. Wood we'll never see in live trees in our lifetimes.

[@danieldietrich5100]

Thank you for posting this, it was really nice to see the cypress being cut and it's true colors as I was distracted helping with the stacking of the off-cuts.

Highly concur. The rich golden color at 08:00 is absolutely amazing but I expect the vibrancy will dimmish a little as it dries a bit. Rare wood like that does need to be celebrated as shown here in the video.

[@roygbiv5164]

Actually, I have lived in both rural and urban areas in my life and the most disparagement I have heard is rural people disparaging city folks....you see it everyday on TV. I went to a 3 day agricultural workshop in a fairly small town, the opening speaker put city folks in a bad light right off the bat. When you go to urban places, they dont bad mouth rural folks like that....they realize it takes all kinds to make the world go round.

​@@roygbiv5164 not true! Raised in Cleveland and "hillbilly" and "redneck" were used as insults just like the N word! I left and moved to the country and these people are all southerners...with manners. But you keep telling that lie if you want to. We know better.

In the early 1980s my friend removed an early 1940s portable saw mill from a bog on a landowners property. My friend said it had been preserved by the peat, and after he removed it, he restored it. Eventually he used the portable sawmill, to cut logs on his property into railroad ties, that sold to the RR company The saw blade was at least 4 foot in diameter, and the saw was belt driven.

Beautiful log and interesting video as always. Now for a silly question. All of these sawmills sawing 1000s of trees ! Is there also someone planting more ? I only watch Nathan so don’t have a bigger overview 😊

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

According to the NFAA more trees are being planted now than ever in history

[@isaiahshaffer]

I have a friend that’s a logger and logging practices now (at least in the US) are very sustainable! They cut only the trees good for timber and the ones that are sick or dying and then all the smaller ones are left and some too large for good logs and the forest never is bare and fills back in quickly! the smaller trees are given room to grow and the extra sun lets new ones sprout and the few big ones spread lots of seeds

[@mikewatson4644]

In the west, more trees will sprout than will grow properly. Good managment practice is to thin the stand to produce better trees.
