Is Red Oak the same as Pin Oak?

[@terrypomatto907]

Price of wood is controlled by supply and demand. I appreciate that you take the time to explain to viewers the way that logs are priced. Like everything in our economy the demand for a product controls price of the raw product. I like your videos because you are always trying to explain your goals versus putting on a show. Keep up the good videos.💝

Beautiful day for Flail Mowing & KATO log moving. I really think you need to add a few Black stripes to it & call it the Bumblebee. That Kubota power plant purrs effortlessly along moving that OAK

Thanks 🙏

[@beavis4play]

same here in my area of ohio (where paul bunyan is held) - white oak price is crazy and it's all the local, big mill wants. i sold 4 logs to them last week - and even though they were limb-logs that had some twist, still got a nice check.

[@texasjetman]

Congratulations on a nice check.

[@beavis4play]

thanks! i do pretty good with that sort of thing - usually enough storm damage/natural causes to keep me with LOTS of quality firewood. selling the good logs keeps me in gas for the chainsaw/splitter/tractor!

[@eljayemc]

We really enjoy your videos! The farm, the logs, the dogs, the cats, the chickens, and the sawing! Thanks for sharing your knowledge, and for making us feel like we are there with you. We search every evening to see if there's a new video (or an older one we've not yet seen) to watch before going to bed because it's so relaxing listening to you and the sounds of the sawmill, AND the music. So many times I've wanted to check out the music you include, so please consider listing the name and artist of the songs you add to the videos. Thank you!

[@ronnielloyd4514]

You make it interesting. I grew up and live on a farm. Mowing around creeks was a constant when I was growing up but that’s been 73 years ago.

[@markpashia7067]

That is some fine looking "barn siding". Hobbyists would have a blast with two foot and four foot pieces of that stuff for craft work.

[@crankypreezer]

When I was working for my county (Seneca County, Ohio), I mowed 12 straight seasons using a variety of mowers including flails. When I see some others doing that now, I think and sometimes say "Not bad for a rookie!" So, I say to you...guess what? LOL

I feel the same way about my lawn. It's not as big as yours, but I just have a push mower- mowed it for the first time this year, and now my work clothes smell like gasoline. I hate that.

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

Yes 👍

[@alanfenwick9307]

Nathan, I have been enjoying your videos for a month or two now 👍👍. In your last video you mentioned the life changing garage sale that you and Bruno were going to check out. My burning question is what was the outcome?

[@chriswalters8110]

My guess is that it was purely a satirical comment since the sign said “life changing”.

[@briggsahoy1]

Thank you for replying to my previous comment. I live in a heavily forested area of Nova Scotia and there are many Mills throughout the province. Your videos are interesting, and for me, educational. Best regards, stay safe operating your mill and other machines. RB B Nova Scotia.

[@charliehill6914]

Having some logging and timber industry background myself, I really appreciate and enjoy your videos. Have you ever thought about making that scrap wood you burn available to folks who need it for firewood?

[@beenschmokin]

He Mentions that in an older video. Has tried to give it away but nobody ever shows up so finally gave up.

[@bobblossom2713]

Here in California we love to use red oak for BBQ and Smoking meats. Ummmm

[@kencross25]

Another great video. Could your Tractor's front wheels straddle that small ditch which would facilitate easier mowing since ground looks dry now? Love your T-Shirts, bought one for my wife and myself.

[@davidhensley76]

I'm wondering the same thing.

[@mikewatson4644]

Me three

[@kevdimo6459]

I think if he did that, No 1 he wouldn’t have a creek soon, too much grass and crap would fill the creek up and block it. No 2 very dangerous to be straddling even a small creek. This is just my opinion.

[@libertyman3729]

First time here, I like your introduction. I'LL BE BACK.

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

[@colinmacdonald7441]

Love your videos but it would be great if you explained your process for how you decide how you make the cuts. Or is that a trade secret?

[@tonygrimes13]

[@hairgirlrita]

Love seeing everything you do.

[@dnclark79]

I have an editing request, maybe it'll be awesome, and maybe you've tried it... When you are sawing up two cants like that, can you sequence the cuts from the bottom up? Sequence begins with the blade being squared up and on the other side of the log the blade pops out at th bottom with the several previous cuts above. Each successive cut from leaves more of the cants to be sawed, ending with the two full cants?

[@MoneypitHomestead]

Really enjoyed this, and I meant to say something the other day when you picked up your new track loader that you were really close to the house. Anyway, what a beautiful log! Donald @ #moneypithomestead

[@McKameyFarms]

Great video Nathan! Just hauled out some pretty good size Red Oak Logs just about identical to those. I'm not too far off from you. I'm in Clinton, TN and it's about the same here, White Oak is King! Crazy what they're going for! I think around me there may be 1 White Oak to every 25 Red Oaks... Take Care, Brandon

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

Hey Brandon 👍

[@danielburgess7785]

I believe our host runs all his drive-ables at least every three days. If he doesn't they start to be grumpy. ;-)

[@michaelbrausch8874]

Nathan did you ever think of installing a barn door where you load your logs on the mill?

[@pulaski1]

His mill runs on diesel - I believe he _needs_ the ventilation.

[@michaelbrausch8874]

@@pulaski1 He could leave it open when he runs the mill and it makes loading the logs so much easier!

[@pulaski1]

@michaelbrausch8874 If you look behind Nathan when he is talking to the camera, such as the thumbnail for this video, the shed he has his saw in appears to just be one of those lightweight carport structures, so I don't think it would support full size barn doors.

[@patrickhankin9903]

Hi, you said that this is a low grade wood. In Australia, this quality would be sold by hardware and timber stores as first grade. It would sell for a fortune. Keep doing the good job you do

[@57Dalv]

Hey Nathan, love your videos but something I always wonder about and you may have addressed but not sure. Does the WoodMizer figure the thickness from the bottom? I'm not sure what you end up with on the last cut unless that is the case where you would have the remaining board the dimension that you were cutting for the rest. Curious to know how that works. Thanks

[@boooshes]

I believe you can set up the automated cutting from the bed or the top. With careful planning from the beginning cuts to create the cant, you can have full thickness boards to the very last cut.

(I am sure someone has asked this already... but... ) Is there any market for wood chips in your area? You could always chip those different "flavors" of wood for smokers etc. etc. Rather than burning them. AND it gives you a reason to buy another toy! ;)

I guess it's good enough for barn siding.

[@hillbillyinthephilippines303]

Just curious why you start sawing on the big end of the log. I always put the small end first I could get a better idea of how big of slabs I need to take off and where

[@MLenninger]

It looked like the creek was narrow enough to straddle it with the tractor and mow it in a straight line. Why not?

[@jimlane6335]

That is some mighty pretty red oak there man. Kind of a shame to use it for siding when maybe it could have been cut into 1x12 boards and something pretty made from it after it was dried. I do have one problem with red oak though, it stinks when you split it!! I mean it smells BAD!!! LOL!! As always Nathan I enjoyed the video.

[@alex_stanley]

I'm not a huge fan of oak, but to me, the red oak is far more lovely than white oak. I used to own a piece of ground that the state put a highway through, and part of it was woods. Black walnuts, burr oaks, huge old honey locusts, etc. I think it was all just bulldozed into piles and burned. I've had burr oak firewood before, and that wood smells terrible.
