[@texasjetman]

So excited to get my original Keen Kutter Nail puller I found on ebay.

[@JamesNorelli-lo4ke]

Could you try and fill the hole with glue or epoxy then cut it? Maybe it will save more wood that way? Just wondering.

[@blnfuse]

Your love of the wood is inspirational . I wish more city people felt the way that you do .

[@steveshoemaker6347]

Yes well said.....

Happy New Year 2025 everyone. I hope this is the year OTW breaks 200k subscribers. Let’s all tell a friend that may enjoy the channel and lend Nathan a helping hand.

In my eyes black walnut is hands down the most beautiful wood

[@texasjetman]

Definitely in my top three and these slabs are absolutely the best I’ve seen

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

there is obviously so much science and experience that goes into taking a raw tree and getting the most out of it ... much respect

The slabs with the voids would make a good river table blank.

That's a nice walnut log Nathan I would really like to buy a few bowl blanks if that's what you decide to do. 👍

[@FRBPturning]

You already know I want some bowl blanks! That is some gorgeous walnut. Thanks Nathan!

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

Thanks, I will keep you in mind.

[@FRBPturning]

@ I appreciate it! I know that log is super valuable for you, so I know you have to do what gets you a good return, and that won’t always be bowl blanks.

[@FredD63]

Black walnut was one of the three woods that I was thinking of using when I made my kitchen cabinets, but I ended up using Hickory as I was having a hard time finding black walnut definitely has a beautiful grain to it…. Stay Safe 🇺🇸👊🏼👊🏼✌🏼🔨🪚

[@RedToolHouse]

I love milling old logs. Milled a cherry last year that looked like trash and the inside was spectacular. Hate hitting metal, though. Great video!

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

thanks buddy,

[@BlackLocust-u6d]

Hey, Nathan. You could make a fortune cutting wood for turners. Not only bowl blanks, but pieces like 3x3x12 or 18" for us spindle guys. Black Walnut is also the most common and treasured wood for ceremonial gavels, like those you'd see at the president's podium at meeting halls. Just a thought...

[@texasjetman]

Good information. I had not thought of that use before. Thank you

[@henryhatfield74]

@blacklocust , how much do those turning blanks sell for?

[@BlackLocust-u6d]

@henryhatfield74 Henry... don't know. At present I make my own from fruit wood.

[@melgross]

I think large slabs are worth a lot more.

[@refurbansuburban]

My heartfelt condolences on the nails in that beautiful tree. As usual, great video work and editiing. That last shot had to be in near darkness.

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

I can really appreciate the frustration of hitting nails, especially when working with such beautiful walnut timber, it must be disheartening to say the least, just would like to wish you and family all the best for the New Year going forward, absolutley love the music you select to go with your videos, regards from Auckland New Zealand.

Thanks DaveyJO, I’m glad you liked it!

[@salchristiano6606]

Amazing coloration on that log.

[@robertr4193]

Some pretty nice Poplar boards there at the first of the video. Some nice Walnut also. The side that has the bigger void in it might also make some nice rifle stock blanks as well. Those can fetch a nice price some times if the color and grain are as good as it shows in the video. They need to be 3" minimum thickness to 5."

[@robertmalmgren4640]

Jim Kibler was looking for good walnut for stocks. When Nathan said bowl blanks I also thought gun stocks.

[@chriscmoor]

@@robertmalmgren4640 The smaller cutoffs would make some really nice knife scales, too.

OUCH, that hurt some and you ain't done yet. MO blades Joe!!! You are getting some great looking wood out of that Walnut log and will do alright selling every bit of the cuttings. Stay safe and keep up the great videos. Fred and family.

[@AaronTurnwald]

I need to get one of those nail pullers. Looks like it works good!

[@brucemartin5510]

As an alternative to bowl blanks, you might consider some table leg blanks. 8 & 12 quarter walnut is hard to find when I look for table and desk leg blanks.

[@warthogA10]

I've actually been missing your videos. I've been working toward weaning myself off this platform for many reasons, but decided to see what you've been putting up.

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

Glad you're still watching!

[@Lglenn4146]

Yes, I would like some bowl blanks from that slab.

[@Beyond_TheRedLine]

It might be worth while to keep a carbide blade or two around for sawing yard trees. They can usually cut through a few pieces of mild steel without issue.

[@wizardind3203]

beautiful color

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

Thanks, I was surprised!

[@markjaycox7524]

Beautiful wood!

[@KeithJawahir]

could also make a few pool cue blanks

[@frankvucolo6249]

Wow, that’s some nice walnut! Seems there would be a good amount of dimensional lumber (4/4 and 8/4,) in the sections that can’t be slabs, that furniture makers would love. I guess it’s a matter of how to sell it though. Bowl blanks ship a lot easier.

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

yeah, they are in high demand but I see your point,

[@frankvucolo6249]

@ I could spend all day driving to hardwood suppliers and sawmills in my area and not find anything that good. And what I could find in wide, premium black walnut would go for at least $20/BF

[@rodneyzurek4900]

If you would use cobalt blades from Timberwolf you could hit 2-3 nails and just keep going. Their blades can handle a few nails.

[@BrewsBrats]

Now that is about some gorgeous wood!

[@PattyMeloana]

When you find a nail in a log with your saw blade a great tip for removing it is use a drill and small drill bit and drill small holes around the nail and then use vice grip for easy removal and less damage to the slab! 🙏

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

interesting,,

[@donaldadams5342]

What an absolutely beautiful Walnut. It's a real pity about the nails, but as you say, they are not the end of the world. What is even more disappointing is that void right through the log as far as slabbing is concerned. What positive does come out of that void is that wood turners will be 'licking their lips' because of the potential bowl blanks that might come out of it. Absolutely stunning grain in this log. Thanks for sharing this one mate. Cheers, Don from South Australia.

[@arkadyarkright1328]

After first admitting that I have no idea what I'm talking about... Is there any reason you couldn't run a metal detector over the log after each cut ? Would the time taken to check the log be more than the time spent resharpening and replacing blades ?

[@bdog3869]

At 9:42 on the video looking at the end of the slab you just cut nearest the engine. What do you do with pieces 4/4-8/4” thick. Do you just burn them? I was wondering is it possible to get something like this in black walnut to make some handles. Figured if I didn’t ask I’d never know and Dad always said if you have a question ask. Appreciate your time and your channel very much.
