Saw-Milling Big Healthy Ash!!

[@Jr.Straight]

I just found this video. I want to thank you for taking me back to my younger years 1970 + -. I am now 66 years old, and I can recall the sounds and smells of tailing the mill at my neighbor's sawmill. No automation all manual operation. The saw was powered by a 348 Chevrolet V-8 truck engine. I tailed the mill and drove the slab truck when he needed an extra hand for large orders, he would receive. Hard work it was hustling those green 16 Ft. slabs and stacking the lumber. Thank you again for the flashback.

I hope you’re subscribed!! I’ll be putting stuff up that hopefully brings back all of those memories!

I also remember tailing a hardwood mill back when I was in high school in the Adirondacks. Hard work and as you said, the sounds and smell of the freshly cut timbers never will be forgotten. I'm 82 now and still buy rough lumber for my shop directly from area small sawmill operations. Love it !

Good luck Dustin. Thanks for your time. Beautiful ash lumber. Thanks Ian. Have a good Wednesday. 🥰🙂😉👍❤️💜🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@Helmsburgsawmill]

You have a good week sir! More videos will be coming:)

Ash was named the King's Wood in the Middle Ages. Always burned hot, always throws a nice flame. Its the only firewood the Kings wanted. Love the video!

[@Helmsburgsawmill]

I love Ash firewood!!

[@jimharbison7589]

That's some nice looking lumber, thanks for the video

[@Helmsburgsawmill]

Thank you for watching Jim!!

[@iowaeng1986]

The information about the ash trees you sawed and the size was amazing . Here in iowa we are losing all our ash trees now - in our small town over a hundred trees were burned ,only few were saved for lumber. Some were 36-40 inches in diameter. i personally had several hundred feet sawn about 20 years ago and have enjoyed using the wood for many projects.

[@Helmsburgsawmill]

There will be some nicer ones coming up:) They’ll all come back!!

Thank you for the information and commenting!

Good luck in your new job Dustin. May God bless you! Nice ash lumber. Jolly good show!👍

I’m surrounded by massive White Ash here in Indianapolis. We had ours treated in time from that Asian borer. Wonderful trees, they rank with any Oak or Hickory. Cool video 👏

I appreciate that sir!! Thank you for watching!

[@hswing11]

I guess you would...

[@woodnewf3847]

I've never seen ash sawn or even worked with it other than for firewood. Ash has been hammered by the Emerald Ash Borer here in Massachusetts despite major efforts to to prevent it's invasion. I suspect it was already lurking before we took action. I fear for what our New England forests will look like in the future. Emerald Ash borer, Asian Longhorn beetle, Wooly adelgid attacking hemlock, bud worm ravaging spruce species, white pine attacked by a fungus that causes needle kill from being too wet and now the Chinese lantern bug. Awesome video.

[@Helmsburgsawmill]

@@woodnewf3847 It is a shame. It’s one of my favorite lumber’s. There’s a lot of places in my state that just stay so secluded and can be cut up by thousands of acres of field I guess. I think it’s going to come back:)

As a 30+ years saw milling. Thise are a good looking Ash logs. We are running two big band saws. On a good day we saw 70 to 80k feet per day hardwood. Popular we can do easily 130k per day.

[@wessmith7408]

There are a number of things I noticed with milling the Ash. One was it seems not to cut as smooth. Yes, the sound was different. It also seemed a bit more difficult to handle when you would turn it. Also, at 8:24 or so for a period of at least a minute from that point there were some green dots. This was a first time I ever saw those. I wondered if that was the camera saying low battery.

[@Helmsburgsawmill]

So it produces a slight gum! And ya I noticed. It was a slight glare from the lights. Which should change soon! We’re switching lights

[@johnmcgarvie4061]

[@lyleharkness-rv5vf]

Ash used to be a big thing where I live in northeast Pennsylvania. A local company produced baseball bat blanks for Louisville Sluggers. People would cut down ash and split them and take them to the company to sell. You could get 8-12 splits on an average section that was cut 44" long. Grade A splits were worth $1, grade B were worth $0.75, and grade C were rejected. It was great Christmas money, and what couldn't be made into splits was a great source of firewood to use or sell.

[@Helmsburgsawmill]

Ash has always been one of my favorites!! That one batch of Ash that I mentioned paid extremely well!

[@GigaTech-ggt]

a great machine

[@themusicman-ij7op]

I would have loved some of those of cuts. Too old now (93) and too far away (Aussie) 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🇦🇺🤣😂

[@marksmith4627]

I used to live in Brown County near the Helmsburg sawmill, now I am a couple of counties away. I recently had several trees taken down but my Ash are too far gone, but one was a large Chinkapin White Oak and several large Hickory trees that I was going to try and chainsaw mill, not sure if it will work, the Chinkapin Oak is 32" diameter.

[@Helmsburgsawmill]

Give it a go! Fair warning, you’re really going to stink after you do that Pin Oak😬

[@dougscott9524]

I'm a furniture builder of 36 years and when I heard of how many trees just in one area the Ash bore destroyed just in a small area here in Michigan it made me sick to my stomach and the trees couldn't be turned into lumber.

[@Helmsburgsawmill]

It’s always sad to hear about good timber going to waste:/ Unfortunately these sort of things cause a lot of good lumber to go to waste.

[@GFSwinger1693]

Curious if you do any additional straight lining beyond what is done in the on the carriage? The reason I ask is I saw a couple boards with wane on one face.

Hi Dustin; congrats on your long sort after quest being upheld. God bless you all for a less looney govmint under TRUMP. We in New Zealand have heard rumours that Trump wants to kick The Horse (our former Prime Sinister) out of the USA. But we don't want her back here. She is best suited to a place like Cuba.

[@JohnNaturkach]

You need to add more dogs on your log turner. Would make a huge difference.

[@rancestuart4998]

I notice that with most logs, some of the boards you cut have wane. In New Zealand that would probably make the boards unsaleable. Is some wane acceptable on boards where you are?

[@Helmsburgsawmill]

Yes!! They want max width. And all of these board are going to be finished out at least 1/4 of an inch thinner.
