OneOak tree at the sawmill

The OneOak tree reaches the sawmill, Deep in Wood. This film is one of a series telling the full life story of one oak tree. The OneOak project is an intiative of the Sylva Foundation aiming to bring people closer to growing trees for wood. www.OneOak.info

As a tree climber of 28 years it does me good to see a young man do his best managing the resources available to him with an eye towards specie preservation. Glad for the equipment used too as my dad worked in a mill in Maine and watched a guy die doing the same cutting but with much dire work conditions. Such improvement in 50 years. Well done.

[@truebluekit]

Those stacks of oak at the end are so lovely to behold. Knowing they're part of a tree management system makes it even better.

How many dislikes were made from atop a wooden desk or chair?

[@feydrautha80]

+Ben Scriven Especially oak desks :)) The laptop desk must be made from the strongest type of wood :)) and oldest otherwise it doesn't have character :)

I have wooden leg, right side...hold on left side I think.

[@kennyc388]

These guys are professionals.....not in a hurry and very meticulous. I have several beautiful antique pieces of furniture, obviously with lumber milled over 100 years ago and the wood patina is beautiful......I never tire of looking at their beauty. Nice video!!!

[@spotfrog91]

This looks like very tidy and efficient work. I am glad that y'all are able to harvest this wood for good use.

[@petermartinpetermar]

beautiful grains coming through. For those from the misapplied tree affection society, we have managed woodlands in the UK. Not wholesale deforestation. We need more of this sort of thing. A good use of a valuable material as and when it is available.

[@paulchristensen2854]

The UK has been managing it forests for several hundred years now. Since Oak became scarce during the centuries of world Naval dominance. We in Canada can use a LOT more management and MUCH less whole sale deforestation. Nothing short of shocking to see the waste here and I have worked in the forest industry for 35+ years now....nothing has changed except the amount of people working,much fewer. The rate of harvest,much faster. On the waste front no change..... more even in some cases

[@rboudville]

From tiny Acorns grow Mighty Oaks! Lovely timber.

[@worldbestpilot]

A marvellous example of how to respect nature by using ist resources carefully; my deep compliments to your idea of business !

[@1339LARS]

Beautiful graining in that old oak !

[@mikeheadrick5254]

Say what you want to about saving all of the trees, These people are doing a great job in reclaiming natures beauty, They are treating this wood with great care and respect. This Lumber can now be made into beautiful works of art or beautiful tables and counter tops. Great Job Deep in Woods

[@Niels_f2704]

Atleast the use of wood is very ecological. People don't even talk about plastics and such that are harming our environment more. Not everything can be recycled and even if you can, it still burns through a lot of energy while trees grow naturally. Even burning logs is still within the natural circulation of polution.

[@quadrapod]

This tree is 30 years old from the looks of it, and based on the sources he named at the start was likely planted by loggers for the purpose of being used as lumber.

[@dollarbill5471]

Why The Fuck I like so much the inner part of the tree? It's fucking precious...

[@andrewCNC905]

Whos teached you how to spoke?

[@dollarbill5471]

Oletitptip Sm Spain is the main country in the world, we're in the top. So shut the fuck up...

[@PainkillerDCXVI]

I bet this would give the most beautiful outdoor table.

[@williematney713]

That bandsaw must leave a pretty good surface for the vacuum lift to grab so easily. Plus, that would be a nice load of lumber to own. I also note the saw operator has the life of Riley inside a cab, not like it was in the old days.

[@Crunk7fu]

idk how i got to this video, but it was oddly calming

[@Jazzwayze]

I think there's enough there to make my 'Hayrake Table'! Fascinating stuff. Thanks for taking the time to let us see this.

[@deniseallen3379]

100 PERCENT ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY AMAZING. LOVE IT.

[@drcobol2000]

I hate to see a tree fall, since they do their work passively and without complaint. They provide us shade from the harsh summer sun as well as protection from erosion, but as with any other commodity you have to balance personal feelings with business, provided there is a reclamation program to replace what was harvested. Those planks are some of the most beautiful cuts of oak I've ever seen compared with what's available here in the US. They would look great put together as high quality furniture, or at least a couple of very nice cutting boards for the kitchen.

[@writersblack5360]

the print inside is like a work of art.... The tree's soul.

[@HDGSaman]

So you mean to say you grew your trees, waited for them to grow, cut them down and make your furniture? Absolutely commendable.

[@dannyyork9918]

I worked in a mill for a while. we lifted that by hand, it looked rather funny to see those guys using a machine.

[@ph320b]

big man lifting by hand , get up to date , hahaha now that's funny

[@xenarocks100]

love the way the guy in the jcb fork lift never looks back when he reverses MUPPET

[@robbbinhoodx]

9 minutes of video and this is what you talk about? A safety issue!

[@HolzMichel]

they did...it's being grown in central washington and supplying a goodly portion of fiber for the wallulla papermill.. it matures in 6 to 10 years and gets pretty big.. i have seen other species of tree grow quite big in short order.. most natably a doug fir in northern california.. it was 75 years old and was some 60 inches in diameter at the butt

[@gerry343]

Interesting to see the saw operator travels with the carriage and can see exactly where the blade is cutting.

[@godu1111]

1. Watch your fingers ! Why is that guy touching wood thats about to fall ? 2. Beautiful piece of wood. I`d love to have some of that !

[@titaniumsandwedge]

When ripping a board using home saws, one must control the wood otherwise the cut is crooked. This log is so massive that its sheer inertia controls the cut.

[@sabu85]

the quality of that oak wood is amazing, i'd love to make some cool furniture out of it

[@nickbhalo]

I see oak trees like this tons of places, it'd be pretty hard to cut down every last oak tree in the world.

[@JgHaverty]

No eye protection while using banding locks. GREAT idea.

[@zinger52]

such beautiful work to see something that is dead come to life again

[@earlycuyler8719]

The only thing that could have been better was if the tree hugger were still attached!!

[@sriv9045]

That is mean.

[@92Jdmsupra]

That must smell amazing when being cut.

[@--Valek--]

i hope that's sarcasm

[@92Jdmsupra]

josef williams Wood has a very pleasant aroma when being cut. I don't understand why you think I was being sarcastic.

[@--Valek--]

because oak smells like ass that's why.

[@alain6511]

92Jdmsupra Well spruce and pine definitely give a nice smell, but oak kind a smell like poop LOL.

[@92Jdmsupra]

AL Ain I see haha. I've never smelled oak so I didn't know haha.

[@tapao]

4:30 that pattern is amazing

[@EvoPortal]

Something weirdly calming watching that guy lay down those spacer sticks at 7:05

[@KvltKommando]

+EvoPortal must be the symmetry

[@finpainter1]

oak makes good fire wood. and the ashes are good for the berries.complete use

[@primesandinglondon147]

Amazing video! Most people don't know how planks are made.

[@bonarues]

really took my breath away. 's like anything else, really, if we are respectful of how we use what we get then we honor the sacrifice. s:

[@zyrtec3]

Beautiful oak! I love woodwork. 1. oak sounds goood on the plainer! Beats jet engine... 2. You can make a nice table top just with a single board (I know it'll warp, but still..)... 3. Better not to mistake this facility with an automatic car wash.... :)

[@ChrisWMF]

thats some really nice wood. itd make some beautiful furniture.

[@silvershovler]

great video of a processor doing it right. all the cuts were clean and accurate. very little waste. almost all selects and better. would be super easy to grade. have seen horse shoes in trees in some of the oak here in the states. cheers mate.

[@redradiodog]

I remember seeing a huge oak tree with a buggy axel sticking out of it.

[@froppd1692]

Good quality oak. Grow more. Sawing without wastage. Long live the furniture.

[@TimberHog]

I like mills that cut much faster than that! Woodmizer and AWMV products are the fastest.

[@ChaunceysOak]

fascinating to see the tree sliced. Looks like some is being quarter sawn towards the end before it's sticked out and air dried?

[@robertcornelius3514]

Such huge machines. No wonder all the good trees are gone. God help us all.

[@dukeman7595]

Beautiful grain it will make some fine furniture.

[@mikaylaboo1]

OMG, what gorgeous wood!

[@nubreed13]

that is a genuine problem. I use wood for furniture but I usually try to use more softwoods since they can be replaced more quickly. I hate seeing just how much a logging camp levels everything in sight.

[@HugDeeznueces]

Beautiful color.

[@inkydoug]

+Rob Fern If I was there I would have tried to buy one of those slabs for a coffee table.

[@sperlongatours]

*can you please tell me the most expensive wood what is it ? not any banned ones like the rosewood*

[@colinsbane]

[@sperlongatours]

colinsbane ok ty

[@210GrainsOfJustice]

Wish there was a mill like this near me....

[@SubvenioArguo]

Natural timber is gorgeous.

[@missionron]

Man, i would have loved some of this Oak!

[@roadyrider]

Those young guys sure are getting excited touching and feeling the planks of wood. I guess I now know where the term "getting a woody" came from, hahaha.

[@joelegrand4028]

Ash is good for most berries, but I would not put around Blueberries, it may raise the ph. Good video.

[@5bananas1]

the oak comes off an fsc (forest stewardship council) as oak is quite popular I doubt they would let it run out

[@stanleyjones2085]

They would make an awesome table top!

[@petehodge3460]

These are the people who understand and respect nature. Those who otherwise give cheap lip service do so out of self-centeredness and vainglory....

[@conoba]

I absolutely love oak.

[@zonkozonko]

Once worked in an oak furniture factory, Hated the stuff, just put your hand on a steel machine table and your skin turns Purple. You either use a product like bleach to clean your hands or you go out of an evening with stained hands!

[@bluetoad2001]

pretty cool all the stickered wood, but kinda sad also, all the old girls stuck but buzz

[@8bars]

You would think there would be more heartwood in a tree that size.

[@wingmanalive]

Every fine piece of furniture begins somewhere. Here you see where.

[@bmcclure0561dad]

Turning the log with a fork lift, install a hydraulic log turner, lifting and stacking te slabs with a overhead vacuum crane, and whats with the sawyer shack mounted on the carriage? In my day the slabs would have been immediately been ran thru a edger to take off the bark and sap wood to help in the drying and removal of pests and then stacked according to grade.. Also, cut the slabs to full 4/4 not the 3/4, drys with less cracking and warping.

[@xxxxcocotazoxxxx]

I would like to see one of those tree huggers, hug that tree right about now.

[@taggett666]

My God what a great job to have....

[@silva-anderida7695]

Really interesting.Thanks.

[@hhiippiittyy]

That is some really beautiful wood. Any idea what kind of oak it was?

[@frankfournier2177]

love the vaccum succers to manupulate the planks.wonder what the rpm on that band saw is?

[@tkzsfen]

now i know what i want for christmas

[@brt-jn7kg]

It's beautiful but I hate seeing a beautiful old tree fall.

[@walery7witek521]

Super robota aż chce się oglądać

[@raycity1234]

Lot different than the ones I worked at 50 years ago

[@3Sphere]

That's some pretty impressive oak and very beautiful too. Wish we had some of that around here... Ponderosa Pine is the best thing we have in my neck of California. Nice stuff though. You just can't have a bad day milling lumber. That suction board mover is pretty cool but real men lift and stack their own boards... :) My portable bandsaw mill is faster and more efficient but hey, for the prices they are probably getting for that oak they can afford those dinosaur machines.

[@RedFeetRober]

Amazing the beauty of this wood

[@godscreationschannel211]

Nice one friend, keep up, hope to see more from you. your new friend here. THUMBS UP FOR YOU

[@TheTeslanova]

you needed more hugs all your life ...

[@edejamircosta]

Maravilha!........uma mesa com um tampo dessa madeira com certeza será linda!

[@regsparkes6507]

Beautiful wood !

[@EarlRausch]

I think that there are several things that come into play here, One is for a very long time Oak in GB was extremely scarce due to the fact the oak was needed to build ships hence the slow sure cutting. The other is Health and safety is very strict in GB running a saw fast would be unsafe. I am only guessing of course perhaps somebody from Great Britain could weigh in

[@ResuEmanA]

Trees take forever to grow... but yes a agree... do you know if this growth process equals out to the speed at which the cut them down?

[@zacharysyoung]

How was this tree milled? I'm just now learning about the different methods: it looks like they started off flat-sawing, then maybe ended up quarter-sawing?

[@nooki1102]

look at the grain,,that would be a awsome table

[@fangsea]

Roll that beautiful wood footage.

[@OutOfTheirSkulls]

In a word. Nice.

[@ArboristUk]

Care to elaborate, this is only out my own curiosity. Having meet the young lad a few years ago after he picked up a Walnut stem I had felled I do not think he would take offense at some constructive view points.

[@viyohepav6032]

oh dear... what a beautiful wood

[@scottthomson700]

Was there a reason they droped the log onto the floor after the first cut rather than rolling it over with the forks in situ or roll it onto the forks ? Gives you an idea why real wood is expensive,actually all things considerd it's a bargian, a qaulity peice of wood is a thing of beauty.

[@sardu55]

I'm gonna bet that wood costs a mint. So much that even Bob Vila would have trouble forking the dough over. Norm, no problem, he owns half of all the timber in Massachusetts and a third in Rhode Island.

[@seapeddler]

Just enough wood to make a headboard for a bed.

[@gordonmccoy4537]

Great film on how wood is treated with reapect - end product will be fantastic... LOVE WOOD (as opposed to plastic and other man-made materials)... As an aside, reading the comments below it reminds me of the addage: You can tell 100 people that Jesus Christ will show up at the floor of the woodshop tomorrow at 4:00 o'clock in the afternoon......YOU WILL PISS OFF AT LEAST 4 OF THEM.... Moral of the story - you can't please everybody....

[@johnnybarbar]

Is the end coat clear or do you not use any? ....would expect lot of drying splits if not.

[@tileajb1]

I was very interested to hear the comment regarding what you may find when opening a log. In the 1960's and 70's Teak very much in vogue for furniture. Most of the Teak came from Burma and it was not uncommon to find bullets embedded in the logs, these in themselves did not pose too much of a problem as they are made from copper and lead, but if you hit a piece of shrapnell with the bandsaw it would either remove all the teeth, or worst destroy the bandsaw blade when running! Get out quick!!

[@colindoyle5778]

a push bike 'growing' in the middle now that wood be worth seeing lol

[@woodeneye50]

each sticker should go all the way to the ground to help keep the boards straight

[@geraldestes2470]

straight up thank you

[@rickwilliams5884]

i heard once that you need to use the same kind of wood for the strips as the lumber you are going to dry or it would stain it anyone know if thats true?

[@simonframpton2554]

First I've heard of it and I've been in the business 50plus years

[@rickwillis794]

All the sawyers in my part of the country use stickers made from same type of wood to prevent staining. Some even use small pvc.

[@evangelinoaracen5653]

[@RainbowConure]

Do the cover the wood with plastic tarps when it rains?

[@tabcreedence6553]

Is there a special name for the spacer sticks they put between each piece of the rough lumber, is it called lath?

[@Barrenchats]

As a non-discript tree hugger I enjoy my wood furniture

[@bertjansen8217]

I'm surprised the guy handling the cuts isn't wearing gloves.

[@MalquiLans]

We should take note of how the tree is treated with respect, unlike animals in slaughter houses.
