sawing some nice walnut logs # 501

[@markgalicic7788]

please check out this old video of the first few logs I sawed with this mill, kzbin.info/www/bejne/l5q7Y32mjJljaLcsi=yVXHMmCINg1R5Sxu

[@davidhensley76]

Imagine a room paneled with this walnut, a stone fireplace, a comfy wing chair and yourself seated by the fire with a glass of your favorite tasy beverage in your hand.

[@markgalicic7788]

that would be nice.

[@muzzlehaven9230]

My parents built a beautiful home in Colorado in the 1960s, most of the walls were black walnut. A couple of years ago I found one left over board from the build and turned it into a beautiful mission style coffee table that is in my home on Whidbey Island in Washington state. This brings back some wonderful memories. Thanks for the fantastic videos, you and your friends are great!

[@richardzehrung9776]

I am a steam engineer. I have no idea why I find your log sawing so cathartic. I found you from a steam saw mill video Now I come home from work and watch you saw logs to chill out.

[@MichaelLyons-h4i]

All I see is beautiful gun stocks for lever action rifles and such 😍

[@claudinerowe2335]

I have to say that the color and the pattern of this log is beautiful

[@markgalicic7788]

yes I never have seen walnut with that blue in it.

[@dougsmith9099]

Nice walnut mark, and a full crew makes it easier on everyone

[@markgalicic7788]

thanks Doug yes it does for sure.

[@alanm3438]

You have so many nice people that send you neat gifts. You are lucky to have friends like that!!!!😁😁😁The color and grain on these logs is nice. I hope they turn into some nice furniture. Who would have thought that a sawmill would have drawn so much attention. Thanks for the video!!!!!

thanks Alan , I love the three stooges license plate you sent us !

Great video, as always! Beautiful walnut! Looks like the Bus Motor rubbed off on it!

[@markgalicic7788]

thanks Chuck , the bus motor could make pine look like that lol.

[@garythomas4914]

I can just smell that walnut just by watching you saw it! Having been a woodworker since the 1970s I can identify wood species just by the smell of it being cut. Some people are very surprised by this but no doubt you guys have the same ability just by the frequency that you are exposed to the smells of the different woods. My granddaughter loves to quiz me on wood species in my shop by holding up different scraps laying around and seeing if I can ID it. Gotta love that walnut, for the look and the ease of working with it! I work with a lot of reclaimed wood from old furniture (when I can get my hands on it) and it is beautiful tight grained stuff from old growth and just love it! The other good thing is that a lot of georgous stock doesn't end up in a landfill. Not as easy to find as it used to be tho. love the channel

[@markgalicic7788]

thanks Gary , I do the same thing in my shop . red oak & white oak.

[@davidpruitt1941]

You guys are all the greatest... Anytime i have commented you guys always acknowlege me and thank you for that.....

Those log cut offs would make some nice gun grip/stocks. LOL... This channel has it all going on. You have "the Boom-a-nater" and the boom haters...I love it!!!

yes they would.

[@danielbennettii2508]

[@KevinCoop1]

First time I’ve seen your channel! My favorite wood. I built our kitchen cabinets out of walnut and have turned several bowls.

[@richardthornhill4630]

Beautiful walnut boards. The turquoise color is unique.

[@markgalicic7788]

I liked the turquoise color.

[@robertgreen8695]

What, no cherry? You all be looking good. Nice to see the whole crew together again.

[@markgalicic7788]

thanks Robert.

[@MrPossumeyes]

Thanks guys, enjoyed once again. Gotta say, that violin in the segment where you metal swept the logs is just lovely - Benke Heed, right? I love that music. Also, I've been working my way through your back-catalogue, again, and enjoying how far you've come - ZZ, you've had a huge impact on the mill's productivity, bonus points to you!

[@markgalicic7788]

thank you , the music was by David Gordy I forgot to put his name in the video.

[@barryhoneycutt3894]

#501 ""BOOMINATOR""" Mark, this was another great video, fun, interesting to watch, and always learn something. It coincides with "T.H.E. Eddie Horvath's" video we saw yesterday. Eddie took us around the Log yard, wood yard, and picked out the Black walnut for today. Talked to us about how logs get to the yard, and different kinds of saw logs etc. Both videos were really good, i saw and learned a lot about how the yards are laid out. It just seemed to fit like hand and glove. Love drinking coffee with you guys every morning: Thanks

[@markgalicic7788]

thank you Barry , great comment.

[@pepperboys9572]

Fab videos as always guys, thank you. What would be fabulous is a playlist of all the videos of the building of the sawmill, from the move all the way to the final end pieces. Great journey, Have been back and found most (I think). Keep up the great work and have a happy, healthy Christmas and New Year.

[@markgalicic7788]

thank you great idea , Merry Christmas.

[@almills8802]

Walnut, Hickory, Maple, Cherry and some notty Pine. Are my favorites. White and Red Oak as well.

[@markgalicic7788]

yes for sure.

That is beautiful timber. Reminds me of the furniture we had when I was a lad. Hope Eddie is better soon

[@markgalicic7788]

thanks Graham , he is feeling better now.

[@marklapierre5629]

One could make some really pretty furniture out of those boards.

[@markgalicic7788]

yes for sure Mark.

[@fricknjeep]

hi there nice boards , john

[@markgalicic7788]

thanks John.

[@richardbritton5280]

nice sawing guys ty

[@mycowboyways915]

I like the circular saw marks on that first board. Crazy but people pay big money for that saw pattern.

[@garyblevins3532]

Awesome video guys. The amount of sap wood in cherry and different species of walnut can look pretty nice as long as there's some grain wood in the board too

[@markgalicic7788]

thanks Gary , yes it does look nice.

[@johnbaggett7789]

Love that walnut ❤.

[@markgalicic7788]

for sure

[@markgalicic7788]

thank you , we hope you can stop down someday.

[@lewiemcneely9143]

Very little walnut here but the logger/sawyer would go hunting chestnut in swamps. Called them 'soggs" and that blue could be in them if they'd been in water. And like you said it'd be in poplar. Yall have a fine week and God Bless

[@markgalicic7788]

thanks Lewie , that was some pretty blue.

[@lewiemcneely9143]

The reason Rudolph the reindeer has a red nose is too much holiday cheer from a bottle!😊😊😊

[@arnoldcappelletto3236]

A few black walnut remnants were discarded in the humber River. Stump. After many years I finally realized that these wood roots are over ten years in the current. And because the color I gave up to it being rotten. Only a few days later I picked up a few lumps and rinsed off the muddy film and it was like a piece of dark glass.the more I 📏 rubbed it the shiny and 💪 strength

[@markgalicic7788]

I like it lol!

[@robmclaughlin420]

That walnut is really pretty in the middle

[@markgalicic7788]

yes it was.

[@anthonyhengst2908]

Very nice logs indeed. I pity the squirrels that are losing some nuts. Just kidding, the will be ok. They like the boomination too.

[@markgalicic7788]

thanks Anthony , I like the Boominator too.

[@donrtworeen4888]

Blue color is related to calcium carbonate That’s a mineral that the plant takes from ground and in the presence of the core high humidity it turns blue

[@briannelson4493]

I planted some black walnut trees on my property many years ago, some of them made it and they’re making more trees with the help of some squirrels. I’m in far western Wisconsin and as far as I know there aren’t any other walnut trees around here.

[@markgalicic7788]

they are getting very hard to find here.

[@blkeagle420]

[@markgalicic7788]

thank you , Merry Christmas.

[@johnaddis1022]

Evening Guys, Nice walnut, would there happen to be a copper processing plant near where the trees grew or even a copper mine. Kinda looks like a copper treated area just saying. anyway enjoyed the show as always... John Toccoa GA

Don't think you have smell-a-vision, but I can sure smell that black walnut as you saw up that log. Great smell.

[@markgalicic7788]

yes it does have it's own smell.

[@BelligerentBurgers]

I'm learning, just thought to myself "This looks like good wood," Just before Mark said it was nice lumber.

[@markgalicic7788]

yes this was some very nice walnut for sure.

[@MichaelLyons-h4i]

Black Walnut Matters

[@dagwood1327]

I like the cat loader. Just the right size. I need one.

[@markgalicic7788]

we love the new loader , it's perfect for our mill.

[@shwilliedude973]

at the sawmill i hauled for they would cut black walnut and then they would put it in a pressure vessel or something and steam it under pressure or something? do you know why or what they were doing to it and why???

[@markgalicic7788]

yes they can make the sapwood dark by steaming it.

[@johnbaggett7789]

Happy Christmas and happy new year .🎉

[@markgalicic7788]

Merry Christmas.

[@abaird1982]

Congratulation on doing so well this year, been really enjoying watching and learning about your work. Quick question, do the hunks of bark that fall off the belt just pile up there to be shoveled out later or do they get sucked up and blown out with the sawdust?

[@johnbucklerfarms]

I got a Catalog from them and it’s Outstanding!

[@markgalicic7788]

I love reading thru them.

[@Monkeysic]

Enjoy watching your videos I have a sawmill in millersburg pa. Just wondering why you cut so much off the logs. I was about to cry! I love Walnut and saw it alot. I haye any waste from walnut lol. At any rate good video!

[@shwilliedude973]

if thereis any lumber in it they will get when they re saw on the edger i do believe

[@markgalicic7788]

thanks Thomas , I try to open a 4" face to edge out do you open a smaller face?

[@Monkeysic]

@markgalicic7788 no the length of the logs in the beginning. Your sawing very well I think.(I'm certainly not a expert I just try to get as much as possible.) The length in the beginning trimmed the logs down about 2' each. And I'm a sucker for the figure in the crotch and it got trimmed off. Was that a customer request?

Those pizza cutters would come in handy for more than just pizzas. I fire up my deep fryer and cut soft taco flour tortillas into 8 wedges and make fresh hot tortilla chips for salsa and guacamole, way better than the bagged ones when their fresh made.

[@markgalicic7788]

that sounds good.

[@mckinleygoetz9855]

I can remember one time we were sawing some oak, I believe it was red oak. Over the years some one had been shoeing a horse or mule. When they were done they hung two horse shoes on a tree limb and the tree grew around them. Well we found them. Was not a pretty sight. I was just glad no one was hurt.

Mark and crew love watching your videos keep up the good work Just a question for ya all. This could be a short but you have said a few times that you saw slow for the vids I think it would be interesting to see the mill working at its potential just curious if this is something you would be willing to do that sometime in a short vid ???

[@markgalicic7788]

thank you , I could but no talking while I saw it wouldn't end well lol.

[@edgannon6129]

Fair enough

[@georgepretnick4460]

Mark, how thick would you cut boards for a furniture builder/wood worker like yourself? After seasoning and planing, woodworkers typically use 1/2" and 3/8" 4SS boards, so 1"?

[@markgalicic7788]

we saw to the industry standard 1-1/8" for 4/4 most buyers won't take it under that.

[@claudinerowe2335]

I was wondering how you dispose of the blackwalnut sawdust?I heard you mention you don't mix it with other sawdust.

it makes great weed killer.
