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.

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.

How do you figure that a log has figure?

[@helensarkisian7491]

I’ve been wondering about crotches and knots. Is there a different way to refer to a branch that creates a crotch and the one that creates a knot?

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

not really in my book, all knots create a crotch figure situation,

[@spentacle]

The knot is across the side branch, the crotch is at right angles to the knot, through the branch and trunk

[@helensarkisian7491]

spentacle: I understand how the crotch is created when either the trunk or a major branch divides. I assume the knot is created when a smaller branch grows out at a right angle. I was wondering if there was any other way to say “branch” to specify if the branch formed by a division or the one at a right angle - such as bough or limb.

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.

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.

[@jeffselchow5719]

I am not sure anyone has made this comment before but, in those areas you need to trim so mill will pass, have you thought about cutting about 1" thick to make clock faces. I have made several like that and they turn out real nice. Just a thought to maybe reduce some waste.

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
