Damn purty snow, bro. Don't see much of it in Tucson! ☃️

Knotty chestnut's lovely if you happen to find one that survived the blight.

Hey Nathan, Since it's cold and snowing how's that cab working out for you. Lol. Haven't heard you say anything about it in awhile and thought I'd ribbed you a bit. Thanks for sharing. 🇺🇸

[@fatcamp907]

I don't know what it is, but the fact that this man addressed me as "friend" in the beginning of his videos, makes me want to watch everything he's got on the channel. There's something there that makes me know he truly means it.

[@rodreid8555]

I don’t own a mill but I sure enjoy what you do. Wish I was younger I would buy one. Question: how long does your saw blades last assuming no nails? It looks like you can sharpen them? Rod in Washington.

[@mrwaterschoot5617]

@@rodreid8555 hey friend and you know that strangers are friends like nathan that you have yet to meet. i am joking that i am having a midlife crisis and i am 65 years young. i am in a forced to be in a rehab institution so my former sister can piss away my hard earned savings. thank god money is in pensions that she can not touch. she makes promises that she can not keep. and does things that are plain evil. and she keeps digging holes that may get her in jail behind bars for the rest of her life. potential charges attempted murder of her one year older brother me. she promised to take care of my social security. not likely now she is in social security eyes as being a scammer. soon she will be reported for tax fraud filing mine and my deceased wife's state and federal taxes without my consent and without my review. she wanted to sell properties that have been in my family for over 50 years and she has not seen the property in 30 years. it was pasture land that grew from 50 acres to 75 acres for tax purposes. it grew from pasture in to a woodlot under the vermont land use program. i have a neighbor with a small 5 acre homestead who thinks he owns my land. but he may lose his land to cover the penalties for timber trespass. in terms of the kingston trio it takes a worried man to sing a worried song but i won't be worried long. my humble advice is to look for reasons to do something instead of reasons for not doing something. but be realistic also. don't let age be a reason for not doing something unless you are on your death bed. longevity has changed significantly in the last 100 years as knowledge grows. in colonial times life expectancy was around 35 years now it is about 80 years and it might change with covid but i personally know people over 100 years of age who are wanting to get called to heaven because they lived to long and they want to die. they live to die and i chose to die to live. my friend you have choices with the grace of god choice wisely if you chose to be old you are old if you chose to be young you are young. since i am 6 ft tall i probably will never be taller. i might shrink a little because of bone compression but it will never be as short as my life partner who became my wife who had scoliosis as a child and height challenges under 5 foot. but if i get on my knees she is a tad taller than me.but we might be closer to eye to eye. as mary chapin carpenter one of jane's favorite music artists. shut up and kiss me. i feel lucky. hey breakfast is calling and in burger king terms i am hangry ( hungry and angry that hot food is getting cold) so later friend.

This is the only channel where I feel bad if I skip ahead over narration to get to 'the good stuff.'

Exactly what i was thinking

[@leynight7534]

I was remembering as a little boy going to the local lumber mills with my dad to buy lumber for his chicken houses and barns. There used to be a lot of these small lumber mills back in those days but now only a few left. Those were good memories over 60 years ago watching lumber get milled with the big round blades when I was a child of 4 years old.

[@trevorrisley5419]

Great story, man. Thanks for sharin’. I would have loved the same experiences with my father as well.

[@curtdrahn8522]

I love Butternut, my father cut one down years ago and saved a number of blocks from 3-5' long. The tree did not have a long trunk. Its been at least 40 yrs ago and I have been sawing it in to 3/8 boards I use to make jewelry boxes and such. A relative passed away recently, an army vet and I made a flag box for the family out of butternut. I use the rotted areas by using epoxy to fill and stabilize it. I really covet your boards, but I live in Oregon and I will just enjoy the fact that others like the wood as well. Nice show.

[@clementsconsulting9216]

"White Walnut"! I learn something new every time I watch your channel. I must have 500bf that was given to me labeled White Walnut and little did I know it was Butternut. Thanks for sharing.

I know nothing about working a saw mill, this is RAD! I’m a guitar guy and some of these grain patterns are fueling that passion.

[@homersreluctantodyssey2508]

i see so many potential guitars being made into lumber on nathans woodmizer

[@swtbbyjms3806]

I went to work in a sawmill after high school in 1971. Our head rig was Two 42” circle saws , one over the other. I was head sawyer there until I became a heavy equipment operator in 1979. I’ve never lost my astonishment for breaking a log down into beautiful lumber. Ive built every house Ive lived in…6….but NEVER built the house before a shop. My woodworking tools have been with me my entire adult life. And so have my guitars and amps!

[@raifsevrence]

The money shot starts at 16:03 . Wow... This is my first time seeing Butternut. I've seen a tremendous amount of hardwoods over the years including hundreds of thousands of feet of surfaced Black Walnut. I've always liked it. I'm one of the very few people who enjoys the natural contrast between the sapwood and heartwood in walnut. This butternut really didn't look like anything too special until you hydrated the surface and brought out the grain. There are some gorgeous colors in that wood.

I remember way way back in high school being introduced to butternut. I made a number of projects with it over those next few years. Across from the wood shop was the ag shop. A classmate decide he was going to build a farm wagon from the ground up. His dad had a bunch of wood in their barn and he brought it to the school shop. So the next week came the lumber, all 2"walnut. In spite of the shop teachers trying to talk him out of using that beautiful well seasoned walnut for the wagon bed, he insisted. The most beautiful wagon bed I ever saw! Oh well! Thanks Kindky Bathan! DaveyJO in Pa.
