sawing clear white oak

[@brentasher8148]

“Hardwoods, you have to rotate the log” finally someone on KZbin who’s sawmill and knows what they’re doing. THANK YOU!

[@josephhartman8073]

Mr. Ed is all man for sure. I just finished sawing a white oak with a couple 2 inch slabs. Ed picks up and walks off with them. Those 2 inch slabs are HEAVY !!

[@Imrockintheboat]

That is some gorgeous wood. I watch these every night to unwind from the day and fall asleep. I love your videos. They are so relaxing!

[@terrydurham3697]

I like that you talk your way through each cut and explain what you are thinking and doing. We can all appreciate the hard work mentally and physically.👍👍🇨🇦🇨🇦😁

[@Maxhuette]

Of all the hundreds of sawmilling videos on KZbin, this one is my favorite. That is some seriously beautiful, high-quality lumber (but you knew that already!).

Nice oak, Good sawing and it's been a long time since I could do much in a mill. Driving and operating takes a big toll but it sneaks up on you and you don't realize it till your almost killed.

Always fascinating to see the yield out of some of these logs you saw. I was a lifelong woodworker, millworker and I have made products out of all kinds of lumber species. Fun to see how it comes out of the sawmill.

Hello from Oklahoma great videos thanks for posting these videos.

[@markgalicic7788]

thanks for watching.

[@jameshockey6916]

Love watching your videos and seeing how the mill is progressing. I am from the UK and its interesting to see the differences in how we do things. Over here FAS is the grade for first and second quality timber, the first and second boards cut from the outside are considered the lowest grade because they have so much sapwood, the grain angle is so low causing the board to be really unstable and the least attractive grain.

[@mercman2.5]

Great looking log

[@haroldtunich8809]

I llove the education about logs I am getting, Thank y ou and keep up the great work.

[@aporter701]

Nice. Wouldn't Mr.John have loved to have had those !!🤠👍

[@IronOakSawmill]

That was some pretty white oak. Grade sawing will always have you searching for the best face, but it's the only way to get the good stuff. We've been watching for quite some time, and you guys have built a nice operation. Good to see some fellow PA guys doing well. Keep the great videos coming

[@karencary3312]

I love the sound effects of a drum roll for that first log to make its appearance. Lol. I know it's the machine warming up.

[@mikeboggan9190]

Mark and Eddie, I love your video's and look forward to seeing each one. I have an idea for your cab to make it more sound proof, you have said in the past that it has acrylic windows, so just add a small spacer on the outside, maybe 3/16" and add another layer of acrylic sheet. That will cut the noise down and give you more protection. Also, your splitter behind the blade needs to be higher and curved slightly to the inside of the cut to make each board fall away from saw helping Eddie to keep his fingers intact.

[@steviestevie6868]

[@Sailor376also]

For me in 60 years of cutting wood,, there have been some tough woods,, but white oak is among the top. Installed many white oak floors,, a good use for white oak,, clear (often is) vertical grain (often is) but don't ever try to use it in a counter top or something that need a lot of sanding. White oak can dull sandpaper.

[@philthemagician1949]

When i worked at the Cabbagetree Creek hardwood Sawmill in Gippsland , Victoria , Australia we used old fish&chip grease from their big deepfrier's as there were no conveyer's to get the large Hardwood trees the the breaking down saw's , it was all done using spikes or tractor's . some of the lumber was about 25 ft in length & had a girth of 6 ft the breaking down saws were placed one above the other , & were powered by a large steam motor as these were easily repaired on our down day's , both breaking down saw's were like the one that you are using at your mill ,but never had removable teeth , a guy from Orbost came to us with replacement saw's every 3 days for the bigger saw's for the smaller ones it was once every two weeks , the smaller saw's were used in much the same way Eddie use's his for cutting firewood or fence palings ...

[@mgbill793]

I get customers like that all the Time. I'll ask when do you need it? They will say yesterday. So I'll cut it that same day.. it sits for a week or maybe a month. Sometimes they don't come back.Think I'm gonna ask for half up front for now on. 100% agree with you on turning the log. Especially hardwood. To much stress in the wood. Plus it makes better lumber.

Requesting an upfront payment, part of which is non-refundable, is a good business practice. Wrecking yards call it a storage fee.

A couple of comments. John Clark (fricknjeep) has said that wood with the bark on doesn't dry - the bark acts like a sealer. Dave at Engels Coach Shop says that for wagon hubs he waits one year per inch of wood to get proper drying. Hope this helps.
