My Lord that cherry is beautiful. Before you said anything I was watching this and saying to myself "this guy could saw down a milk weed to furniture grade lumber and a lot of it!" Talk about getting everything out of a log that can be got! And that molder is one fantastic piece of gear Nathan. Man what a great machine.Great video Nathan. Really enjoyed that.

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

thanks!

[@bobblossom2713]

cherry is also delicious when used in a smoker or weber bbq

[@texasjetman]

That’s awesome to see so much great usable cherry out of one tree. Looking forward to the reveal on the cherry stained door. 🥵hit n sticky in Texas 2

[@lindaroshdy7541]

This came on my feed for some reason, I'm from the UK and have never watched anything like this before. It's fascinating and I'm now going to be hooked.😮

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

Thanks 👍👍

[@daverenfro6043]

The sound of freedom

[@MrDizzle715]

I work a lot with Cherry. Now I know why the boards generally look the way they do. Also, I was watching and going, surely the pith can’t be that bad…I was wrong.

[@stanwooddave9758]

Thanks for taking the time, to teach us about the pith (center of the log) on hardwoods. I'm a person that is a former 5 yr's Ship Welder, (made little 400 ' Ft. canoe's, only 12 stories tall, wink, wink, yes it's true, if you can jump across it, you can weld it. LOL ) Metal Fabricator, CAD Designer, former autobody guy (25 yr's exp, Heavy Collision Work.) Never played much with dead tree carcasses, but love watching your channel.

[@PineInTheAshMilling]

Nice job Nathan that cherry is a beauty, keep the video coming.

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

Thanks, will do!

[@1striperon]

Thank you for taking the time to give us an understandable explanation of the reasons behind sawing that log. I feel like you are the professor delivering a college class on sawyers’ maximizing their logs. I appreciate it. 👏

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

Thanks for watching!

[@richardthornhill4630]

Quality equipment produces quality products by expertise.

[@abydosianchulac2]

I try to save cherry sapwood when I can find decent bands of it, then cut it off from the heartwood and process it into thinner stock. It's such a gorgeous, white wood it works well for variegated panel glue ups.

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

Interesting

[@unclespongehead]

As an outsider looking in, I see so much potential in the burn pile. I get the burn pile, but there's so much good in that pile.

[@The_HomeHandyman]

What beautiful wood!

[@2naturesownplace]

@Nathan ..that would be USMC Aviation ( I believe)

[@texasjetman]

Either BlackHawks or Apache’s I couldn’t tell. Love that music myself being in aviation

[@skywatcherca]

Cherry is highly sought after - up north. It's a beautiful 'lumber.' I applaud you for being as safety-conscious as possible. I have seen other sawmills/sawyers who have no respect for safety. Great video: thank you, Sir.

[@AuditRecon]

We trimmed a house in Atlanta for the owner of Star 94 in solid cherry. door trim, window trim, base, coffered ceiling. All trim was cut and made in NC. The blades to make the moldings were destroyed after the house was completed. Cherry is very beautiful . Thanks for the video.

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

Great job!

[@pazmaniaoh6341]

Chunk the pith, like 3” x 3”, kiln dry it, and sell it for smoker wood. Cherry is one of the best. Pecan and oak are also very good.

[@neilrotzler]

THANKS FOR TELLING US ABOUT HOBBY HARDWOOD . I SUBSCRIBED ON THE FIRST VIDEO .

[@DennisSmith-rx7xy]

Nathan you ate killing me with those hydraulic. I have no hydraulic yet but use which to roll logs on . I enjoy watching you. It like I'm in class you are teaching me lot and I thank you for that.

[@markpashia7067]

Another option is to do like firewood, but instead do "smoker chunks" for BBQ. Cherry is a high demand smoker wood in our area.

[@markpashia7067]

Also those edger scraps could be smoker wood.

[@geezerdude4873]

Of course, that cherry will make good wood for the smokehouse too!

[@TheMaster1]

You can use the heartwood in a smoker.

[@techauthor324]

Looks like a great day. Best wishes to you and the family, Nathan.

[@abrahamolivas7346]

Nathan, you gotta be BBQ best friend! All that cherry, all I could think was HMMMM some pork buts, ribs, brisket, anything really. Here in Texas its hard getting cherry for my pitts.

[@jeffpeters1014]

Oh my goodness that’s a beautiful piece of wood!

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

It really is!

[@DannySWalker]

Loved the outro. Really cool, well done.

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

Thanks!

[@olddawgdreaming5715]

Great milling job Nathan, lots of excellent boards out of the cherry log and some great firewood too. Thanks for the informative video too. Stay safe and keep up the good work. OLD DAWG DREAMING Fred.

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

Thanks 👍

[@josiecapps2555]

Who on earth do you get to work on a machine like that? Beautiful wood ❤

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

Me!

[@MyDogmatix]

Love the channel. Got to get a shirt one day.

[@zapa1pnt]

Nathan, you are, certainly, an expert at maneuvering those cants and cuts, from the operator's panel. 😁✌🖖

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

Thanks 👍

[@kyliepierson8718]

You are a true craftsman before watching your channel I never realized how many steps it took to saw some lumber and I had no idea about the core pretty interesting cherry is beautiful I still think that black walnut from your last vlog was amazing. Well try to stay cool keep on sawing friend

[@refurbansuburban]

Moulder sounds like bag pipes. And the cherry is really, really nice. Thank you, Sir.

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

You are very welcome

[@randydobson1863]

hello nathan it's is randy and i like yours video is cool video thanks nathan friends randy

[@jamesvanpelt-nk7by]

Good looking wood

[@SasquatchBunyan]

Lots going on in this video. Fun to see the various things you do.

[@pa-mo]

Love the videos. Not sure if others would agree but one request I would have is to lower the audio level of the sawing a bit. I find I always need to turn up the volume to hear you talk and the great music, and then I turn down the volume when sawing. Maybe I'm the only one though!

[@gregm312]

its also good for the smoker

[@157-40_T]

If you are willing to put in time & work, cutting it up into short strips and splitting into small pieces, you could use cherry as material for smoking in a smoker or grill.

[@evankibbe590]

Very nice cherry 🍒 😊😊😊😊👍

[@anthonybowes9273]

That Stihl battery chainsaw is ideal in your sawmill. Thank you for a very interesting video, I learn a lot from you, not that I will physically ever use it,

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

Thanks for watching!

[@ronnielloyd4514]

It all looks great. You have projects all the time. I like that.

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

Thank you!

[@fricknjeep]

hi there i think fire wood is the best use of that center , good log /good sawing , good show /john

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

Thanks 👍

[@joerash9020]

We usually cut heart into 4x6s or 1x6s where I work but we are industrial sawmill love and enjoy your videos

[@jimcorbett3764]

Nice looking boards- even the sapwood edges look good with the water on them. I would think someone would be interested in using the pith to smoke some meat.

[@KillingerUSA]

Good looking cherry! I don't have any that big around here.

[@ronsafreed2400]

I just saw Matt on another channel,,cut over 50 inch Walnut slabs,,,thats big...You been cutting some nice cherry and Ceder...I went and cut down a 30 year old Locust tree,,pretty wide..20 inchs...,ill tell you what it was great looking hard wood...i had to put another chain on my Stihl...had a truckload of firewood..like that shiplap Nathan..

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

Thanks for the info

[@jimmy_betmore]

Love your channel and the knowledge you share. You're making our world a better place. But... It'd make me feel a lot better if you wore eye protection more regularly. I know it's unlikely that something bad would happen. But it only takes once. (For what it's worth, I've worked in manufacturing for nearly 30 years and have seen bad things happen that probably won't ever happen again. But it changed those peoples' lives in a very negative way.) Please keep up the amazing work and stay safe. You and your family will appreciate it.

[@ronthacker211]

Cherry & Walnut... my beauties

[@Mrsnichols1965]

I'd love such a piece like that pith for turning. Yes, I get that it will crack during drying. For that, I'd fill the cracks with epoxy. I would definitely be interested in such wood, but I get that I'm probably in the minority.

[@michelem9341]

Thank you for the information on the sawing! Great video!

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

You bet!

[@stuartscott9646]

Purty!

[@danieldooley9949]

Thank you Nathan... another great video

[@peterclegg2609]

A couple of questions if that's OK, what is the most exotic wood you have worked and is lung protection not a problem from the saw dust, absolutely loving the channel 👍

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

👍

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

Hank!!

[@mitchtucker5768]

Dang Nathan, I cook a lot of chicken and pork with cherryand what you cut up for firewood would last me probably a year. That stuff is hard to come by in Mississippi. Also real expensive. Great video, Pretty wood

[@mikemuniak4711]

I can't wait to see them doors Finnished and hung ,

[@hammerslap5639]

I bet that scraps from the center would be worth decent amount if marketed as BBQ smokin wood. They sell bags of cherry wood at home depot. about a gallon ziplock bag goes for about $20 bucks.

[@danieldennis9831]

Use it in a smoker and get a nice flavored brisket. lol

[@derrick1964]

4:06 Are you talking about railroad cross ties?

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

Yes

[@michaelmeyers1827]

Looks great

[@Trapper50cal]

176K subs - That just rocks, Nathan. You're kickin' butt and takin' names. Let me know if you need a transparent background version of your LOGRITE logo, I can help you out ;-)

[@Damoinion]

Could you break down the heart into staves for wood turners? Or is there just no demand?

[@kevdimo6459]

Thanks Nathan what a great video. Forgive my ignorance but what is a cross tie? It maybe called something else down here in Australia. Thanks mate 👍🏻

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

railroads

[@dustdevl1043]

Railway sleeper.

[@glennyork6800]

Cherry looking good'r than good.

[@davidhensley76]

Have you ever set up a time-lapse camera to show how a board's color changes as it oxidizes?

[@Chris-wp3ew]

Regarding Cherry Wood. Is cutting up the non-viable pieces for "smoker wood" an option?

[@rickpitts2277]

Could you cut the pith into boards, cross orient them, glue them up and sell them to wood turners' for bowls and such? They already do that with boards to get the thickness they need, so if cross orienting the grains would stop the twist in smaller sections would that work for the lathe turners'?

[@TheGamingmidnightsun]

Could you also cut the middle up for smokers and sell that ?

[@jamespierson1299]

Wouldn't you be able to use the sides of the cant (close to the pith) left over for 3x3 or so that would be basically rift sawn for legs instead of a 9x9 cross tie?

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

No that is juvenile wood. Junk 👍👍

[@chrisrogers8694]

the sap wood is oily and can be used as a fire starter, correct?

[@geraldschrader8511]

Can you explain what cross ties are used for? I assume you're not talking about railroad ties, which is the only cross tie I'm familiar with.

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

that's it, rail road, they don't care what species it is,

[@geraldschrader8511]

​@@OutoftheWoods0623I'm surprised. I would have thought the railroads would only be interested in bulk buys when it comes to cross ties. What do they pay per cross tie?

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

@@geraldschrader8511 yes

Looked like AH-64 Apaches.

[@randy9293]

What if you cut it up into sticks or bore by force to stack wood on

[@josiecapps2555]

Hey, have Nantahala’s NC cherry on the floors in my house. Do you know anything about it? I live in Henderson County. I’ve never seen wood like this. I absolutely love this.

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

No, sorry

[@gregtaylor3432]

As a stupid question: What is the definition of the pith? If you were to saw both sides to what you would consider the pith could you not turn the blank 90 degrees and saw off 1x2 (3 or 4?) and then flip it 180 degrees again and saw to the pith? You would get a quantity of narrow cherry but if it was waste anyway...? As an example, I have used a lot of cherry as face frames over maple plywood built in cabinets: Such stock could be ideal. (Never mind: It seems this is exactly what you did!!)

[@BullfrogKid1234]

What is your drying process for cherry? Beautiful grain.

[@Hertog_von_Berkshire]

Thanks for the video. I don't understand "cross tie".

Yep and, especially, smoking.

[@willieclark2256]

Why's it take a couple years to make a mantlepiece?

[@jacoblafave8164]

It takes a super long time to dry material that thick. On average its about a year per inch to reach equilibrium. In Wisconsin where I live it seems to dry a little bit faster

why in the world would you not build a cover for your sawmill control to stay out of the weather at the operator end? Even a pop up cover would work if you tied it down.

[@dalgguitars]

burn it!

[@tomriley6393]

Why do the blades only have teeth on one side? If they had teeth on both sides would allow sawing in both directions.

[@graemedalgleish8944]

The blade guides have a roller on each side and one on the back. I am not sure what you would do with a double sided blade.

[@A..n..d..y]

It a few shots it looks like the camera is following the action. Since I see you in the background so I know it’s no you moving the camera. How are you able to do that?

Chop it into smoker chunks they are charging city folk a ton of money for smoker sized chunks.

[@zapa1pnt]

To make any money, on that, he would need a machine, to cut the chunks. Doing it on a table saw or band saw would be too much work and time. That is something best left to the big operations which have the time space and manpower.

[@a.deanscott1993]

Why not use that cherry for smoking BBQ.

[@robertbeech1937]

You didn’t tell us what blade you’re running.

[@jamesbarnett4844]

Use that cherry that you will burn to smoke some meat.

[@marschallbrooks7706]

Smoke some pig with that heart wood.

[@Ed_in_Md]

There’s nothing about cherry that’s junk, even if you use it for firewood.

[@mgbill793]

Use the 5×6 for stacking lumber on. Or saw it down to a 4×6 and sell it to a pallet mill. Of course you would need bundles of them.

[@skywatcherca]

I should have added, that farms/pet shops (others) will pay a small fortune for shavings and sawdust: I'm sure that you are well aware of this. Firewood, slab wood, edge pieces (call it what you will) - ALL have a value. I know, I know - you know that everything has a value in the mill. Nothing is thrown away!
