This was quite a log to show for the Friday Eve video. I wonder if would have saved any aggravation in milling this log, if the wide bandsaw mill was used to make the initial slabbing cuts to make the square cant?

I love watching those big logs beeing sawd, while having a break sawing firewood with my chainsaw with 14 inch sword! lucky me the logs i got in my last load of waste oak from a lumber company in southern norway that isnt so thick that my sword dont reach thru. 🤣 that company is mostly after spruce and pine.. and oak and birch is considerd waste.. but they sell it cind of cheap as firwood so you pay mostly for the freight.

[@markgalicic7788]

14" is a limb saw here , but glad that's all you cut up for firewood.

[@samkom33]

@@markgalicic7788 most bigger sawmills in norway-sweeden-finland are fully automated and want only straight logs if that makes sence but there are some smaller sawmills like yours localy that do custom sawmill jobs and make lumber out of any logs, even fruit trees if say a furniture carpenter wants it 😊 i used to get free scrapwood from a tiny local sawmill 10-15 years ago, but then he bought a woodchipper and an oven that heats the mill and hes house so now he burns it all himself..

Wow that log was a monster. I have “The Norwood Sawmill” app on my phone, I think you said the log was 13 feet long and I guessed the log was 30 inches Oak. Well the Norwood app says that log was about 3400 pounds and had about 450 board foot in it. Mark,Eddie keep the videos coming.

[@billmorris2613]

I really like that dark streak in the grain. My neighbor has some special cut lumber that they used two facing matched panels to create each of the six panels for one wall of their den. Each of the six panels was trimmed with 1 X 6 or maybe 8s from the same tree. There was a lot of router work on the trim pieces and some carved trim on the inside of the larger trim pieces. I remember watching the finish carpenters and the owner deciding where to place each pair of panels. Some of them had dark streaks similar to this log. They did stain all the parts with the trim being a little darker. It was kinda like a picture frame around each pair of panels. When they finished it, it was a beautiful work of art.

[@markgalicic7788]

yes pin oak has lots of mineral streaking in it.

[@patrickdean4853]

One of the things the sawyers we trained to do was to calculate thickness and kerf on the fly … meaning, know what you are cutting in advance and calculate accordingly. This prevents making skim boards or producing unnecessary waste. The kerf is a know factor (usually 3/16” or as much as a 1/4), so doing the math in your head is not difficult.

You certainly make an entertaining video. I've watched you saw 2 large logs. Never imagined I would spend an hour watching someone else saw 2 logs but I did. Your saw diameter obviously handicaps your capacity but if you tried "grade sawing", creating the desired size cant, your yield would increase dramatically. A lot of wasted cuts and wasted wood. Your "whittling" pushes waste cuts deeper into the log. Just trying to help out a fellow sawyer.
