You could make some nice gun stocks with that ha ha

[@mstrdiver]

I noticed that you use a wide blade mud knife to clean off sawdust when looking at fresh cuts. Do you find that scratches the boards more that a bench brush or something softer?

[@funnyanimalshorts643]

Yeah you keep those. My butcher also keeps the back strap, but thats another story.

[@Givulinovich]

That grain is gorgeous.

[@chriswhitley3283]

@@mstrdiver the knife wouldn’t scratch that much. Been there with sawdust, and that’s the fastest, easiest way to clean sawdust. Any type of brush isn’t going to get the sawdust off.

[@darrellparkhill]

I just found your channel, and I know nothing of sawmill operations, but I will never tire of seeing a craftsman practice his trade.

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

thanks Darrell,

[@vanessawebb8156]

I truly want to thank you for taking these logs and making slabs to create something beautiful out of them. This means to me the life of the tree wasn’t wasted. When some of the trees are cut down it’s for developers, because they don’t want to leave them up. They just rip the trees down. The developers don’t realize the trees are a living thing. I know sometimes a tree dies, it must be removed. But, again you make the life of a tree worthwhile. Thank you for the videos, I know they are hard work, and I see what you do is hard but, it sure should give you satisfaction. You have such a talent for knowing what to do, and how to do the job. Good luck to you.

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

Thanks. Appreciate you

[@dominicbohill]

I'm a cabinet maker over in England, I'd love to make something out of the wood you mill. That walnut was amazing

[@billfear1]

Man... you are so fortunate. You reveal beauty that no one else has ever seen before. I wish i was in your shoes.Great videos sir...

[@brianjoyce9742]

No cutter does suspense filled slabs like you. It's TRUE this one is superior quality. No lie

[@alanatolstad4824]

Your enthusiasm is infectious! Part of the reason I watch!---But, I'm a true 'knot' lover, and am always eagle-eyed when you open a slab to see if there's any knots visible!---And I was happy to catch that flash to the camera of the knot wood you trimmed before pitchin' 'em!

[@johnsabean3170]

When I was a young man I spent 5 years milling hardwoods for a cabinet shop. I had forgotten how much I enjoy the absolute joy that only the beauty of wood can bring to your soul. Thank you for these videos!

[@ToddtheExploder]

John Sabean Well said, sir.

[@macswanton9622]

I wanted to comment on the love of old native trees etc. Now I just have to say there are more intelligent and respectful comments here than any other youtube video I've seen. How bout that?

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

glad to hear that,

[@LAAvgRay]

That last slab you showed made my jaw drop and took my breath away! BEAUTIFUL!

[@willieray9938]

I've watched a lott of saw mill guys . And your my favorite you explained every thing well . I would love to have a mill but a 75 to late . Not man enough anymore .

[@rodneyfluck9616]

I am seriously impressed with that particular black walnut log you found wow!Awesome!I've been watching your channel for couple months you do a fine job keep up the good work!!

[@Assorted12]

Definitely do a video on sharpening the blades. It'd be fun to see how to handle blades that size.

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

will do!

[@jerrymader9422]

Kik j inches

[@danielfronc4304]

You, sir, have an exceptional talent and a matching eye for what's buried within an otherwise plain looking log (except for the cut ends - absolutely beautiful in their depth of color!). It's cear that you've spent a good deal of your life learning about wood.

[@jenford7078]

The 2nd slab has a wonderful figure of an owl from that camera angle. No wonder Native American cultures said the trees hold spirits. Spectacular!

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

Thanks for watching 👍👍

[@drewkoslow7754]

This is the fourth of your videos I've watched this evening. I'm a knife maker and I would love to get hold of some of your scrap wood to turn into knife handles. Beautiful work, it's people like you who approach their craft with imagination and passion who make this world a better place.

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

Thanks. Appreciate you watching

[@Ampersand00]

Your enthusiasm is infectious and your craftsmanship admirable - great channel!

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

Thanks 👍👍

[@dennishoffner8996]

I"m a quarter sawed oak board man myself but that walnut log you just cut is the best I"ve seen yet very nice lumber I'm jealous.

[@TheOwenby11]

Just ran across your video and have watched a few already. I could watch beautiful slabs like that cut all day. Nothing like seeing all the details come alive in a piece of wood.

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

Thanks. Appreciate it

[@diedredunham7383]

My favorite wood is black walnut. So seeing this one really impresses me. Good job.

[@samnbobbie10]

Man oh man. Some of those slabs could be oiled and hung up as giant wall art .

[@supatipanno]

Yep put them through a thickneser first to even them and remove saw marks and then a drum sander.

[@ToddtheExploder]

SamNBobbie Yup.

[@BoopShooBee]

My thought as well

[@k.a.davison9897]

That last slab when wet actually gave off the illusion of depth. The crotch appeared as if it was tapering down 10-12". Am I exaggerating? I have never seen a piece of wood like it. Experience has certainly given you an eye for detecting that something rare and special is about to be revealed. The handwork of God is something to behold.

[@laverdajota8089]

Nature produces some beautiful things , likes hope man looks after this planet in the future.

[@usapatriot4513]

Love your videos and especially milling Black Walnut my personal favorite keep on milling. Also enjoy the side comments about your neighbors and other tips you tell your viewers also

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

thanks, appreciate you watching,

Looks like that stubborn 4 footer turned out to be a prize winner, and look at those colors...awesome.

It's wild watching you run the LT35!

[@michaelmoon6675]

You were right my friend.that is one magnificent piece of mother natures wonders.👍👍👍😃

[@larrygilmore1007]

You sir are a master saw miller Everthing you say is good

[@kargandarr]

Those slabs would make some gorgeous live edged tables.

[@libertyauto]

Another great log. I too would like to see a video dedicated to the blade sharpening process. Those little sneak peaks at your sharpener are intriguing. Reminds me of the same actions as an old sheet fed printing press. Thanks for posting.

[@Mangsaab1954]

That humpy knot on top could make spectacular bowl turned up.

[@johnparrish9215]

Well, if we were talking wood for 'Rifle Stocks that wood would be between grades AAAA and Exhibition Grade. A lot of money right there.

[@jimgeorge6220]

I had the opportunity to meet a guy in our area that cut a lot of Western Oregon Black Walnut. He was a well known bow maker and rifle stock carver. He told me when I visited him that he would cut the tree down and sell off that lumber. But what he was after was the root. He would dig that out because that's where the figure is. I've seen his stocks and I think he's right. Maybe you've heard of him his last name was Keasey.

[@bryanmccabe3632]

the burl is the best part thanks for effort bryan

[@salimmohammed7761]

Really nice patterned wood. It's like finding a valuable painting .

[@robertthurman3743]

Every billet you pull out I catch myself visualizing guitar shapes on top of them.

[@twylaburns6554]

I think that with every log he saw.

[@robnewburn3684]

Nathan, a fabulous looking piece of walnut you’ve cut. If you got one spare you could always send it me me here in Australia😃 Probably like most of your viewers like the descriptive way you produce your videos. Well done.

[@apacheFX664]

Hey brother, just found your videos and love them. Im from NWA in the Ozarks and we have alot of similar wood. One thing that might help with the waviness is shimming those thick cuts, helps relieve the weight off the blade.

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

thanks for watching Sgt appreciate it,

[@DisabilityPCTech]

Best way to describe in text only - Those Slabs have excellent Character and Personality!

[@charlesthompson4760]

One thing , I know all peoples suggestions can be annoying. But my metal building I went to lowes , got 2 solar adic fans put in gable ends , pulls summer heat moving, no wiring , goes off when sun goes down, also moves exhaust out

[@scotttyger4856]

I really enjoy your videos. I don't saw timber, and only worked in the woods for a summer with my nephew, but your videos are awesome. You have a great personality for exactly this pastime and for doing vids of it. Very enjoyable. I would like to say though, that the most enjoyable part of this one was where you say "I'm gonna have to take a break from the videos to sharpen some blades. I have about 50 of them back there that need sharpening. Maybe I'll make a video of that for you guys!" THAT, my friend, was awesome! Happy spring to ya from Pennsylvania.

[@rongade6912]

Well I think that's the best one you've ever cut no matter what and you can keep saying it had green is gorgeous

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

Thanks Ron 👍

[@Smithsgold]

Each log gets better and better !!!!

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

Yes 👍👍

[@matthewpotter1933]

It makes my day when I get a notice on my phone that OTW has just published a new video! It's great to see you cutting in your new space, not worrying much about the elements. The walnut is really beautiful beyond description. Michelangelo would have a hard time competing with that. I've seen the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, and it is breathtaking. So are those walnut slabs. Awesome work, brother!

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

Thanks buddy. Appreciate you watching

[@bigbearfuzzums7027]

The coffee swirl in that slab of walnut is spectacular!

[@johnmay3266]

I love walnut and turn quite a bit when I can find it. That top piece would make one beautiful bowl. Shame you're 8 hours from the Baltimore area. If we were closer you'd be seeing me every day. Keep doing what you're doing brother. You're really good at it.

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

Thanks 👍

[@pnwRC.]

That knot nearest the camera looks like it could make an excellent piece for someone to turn a bowl out of.

[@calvinsusanwebber3414]

I love the smell of walnut when your working it

[@joeyshort2694]

What an awesome video. It's amazing that out of all the logs I've watched you saw, the best slabs come from a log bound for the tub grinder. Outstanding work, can't blame you for putting these in the personal collection. Can't wait to see what's next. Y'all have a good one, see you on the next one.

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

thanks Joey, appreciate you watching,

[@scottmedori1437]

As a turner, I was salivating when I saw you throw that first piece away. Please tell me those don’t go in a burn pile. Walnut in western Canada is extremely expensive, and pieces like that are rare

[@lindamorse7463]

Those slabs are truly beautiful.

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

Thanks 👎👍

[@LPRNChannel]

I'd ever be able to sell that. My house would be full of the stuff, walls, tables, benches, beds, cabinets. . . But only from the stuff that didn't get carved into Gunstocks first. Wow!

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

yeah I look back sometimes and regret selling some of it,

[@stealth550]

@@OutoftheWoods0623 There's always more treasures to uncover!

[@moms762]

That view at the end overlooking that valley reminds me of Cumberland Gap.

[@michaelsears9513]

That first piece you cut off would be great for turning a bowl, and the second piece would be great for a power carved bowl, if I lived closer to Tennessee I'd come buy some pieces from you. Those slabs are beautiful! Hello from South Jersey just outside of Philadelphia.

Those three knot offcuts should be shipped the Bus Huxley! He can make shallow bowls and multiple serving plates while he"s recuperating from his broken foot.

[@drewkoslow7754]

I'd love to turn some of them into knife handles.

[@crazykay9]

Enjoy your videos very much, I saw a gorgeous rifle stock staring at me in that 2nd slab. Keep up the excellent work.

[@rolliekelly6783]

Another enjoyable video. Have you ever thought of placing 2 line projecting lasers high on your saw frame? When adjusted to to the sawing limits and parallel you could see your sawing limits at a glance. Yes, it would require some trial and error to get it right, however, once adjusted and securely mounted the guess work would be eliminated. Just a thought, Rollie

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

Yes the laser would be very helpful Maybe one day
