is the smell of doug fir better than cedar?

[@bingnowtv]

Awe, that's gonna be nice & handy. Cody, get a few mason jars and put that good smelling saw dust in there so that when you can get back to the thought. I wonder if it could be opened up in the house & smell it all up real nice every once in a while. I'd check with Mrs. W on this one Cody.

Just like the good ol days of Wranglerstar - my late, big brother Paul always had two obsessions in his short 30yr life...planting things...and cutting down trees. He was a huge fan of your channel and he introduced me to it about a year before he was killed in a motorcycle accident (2014). Around 2007 or '08 I bought him a Stihl Farmboss and boy did that ever put a smile on his face... seeing you wielding the traditional orange and white saws reminds me of Paul.

I’m a city boy but damn.... wood working has always fascinated me; what a beautiful skill to know:

[@dylanzrim1011]

City boy don’t mean you can’t widdle at some wood. It just means you’re limited on the styling. The solo to sweet home Alabama was written and played by a Californian. Southerners still adore the song

[@dylanzrim1011]

Not to mention how accurate the watergate line is... I mean political spying happens on both sides, calling the other side out for doing it is pointless.

[@dennisboesiger1033]

Couldn't stop thinking about the smell, glad Cody mentioned it a couple times.

[@RonaldMedia]

Are there pine scented candles I can buy somewhere? :)

[@Cowboy684]

be careful what you wish for!

[@spokebloke1]

The mark of a life well lived - the capacity to work for an end goal that requires delayed gratification. Waiting a couple of years for the slab to cure will only add to the enjoyment of having a special piece of furniture in your home Cody! A lesson we need to be teaching to the next generation. Work plus patience equals far, far more reward than anything you can just go out and buy.

[@mylesbashlor9663]

Always amazes me how informative this guy is, and his ability to simplify things so us east coast guys can understand lol

[@aaronbuster1989]

Thanks for the reminder to "like" your videos. Just went back through 4 months of videos I've watched and gave them the thumbs-up.

[@Shadowhunter985]

Looks like you could make a beautiful rifle stock with that burl.

[@mcmiracles5702]

Wow that would be amazing

[@harryminkley1962]

I was thinking the same but a shotgun stock and fore end with it.

[@robertgemski7728]

Fantastic idea

[@rdeanbenson217]

worthy of a #1 Ruger action

[@dirtroadfarmsjimmideanreen2458]

Great Idea Shadowhunter985!!! The piece he cut off so the saw could get through would work as well!!! The Lil scrap's could be used as scales for pistols or revolver's??? What do you think about that???

Thank you very much Cody a day spent in the shop with you is always fun

Beautiful and first-rate piece of......videography. The wood is absolutely gorgeous, but so is your production, Cody. A pleasure to watch. Thank you!

[@DH-ry2ho]

Vintage WS. And we appreciate all the effort you put into the videos! 2 years from now we will be watching the table top creation! Blessings to you and your family.

[@billhodge1001]

This is fantastic! I don’t know anything about woodworking, so I appreciate you going into detail about the set up and everything that’s required to get a nice smooth cut. Really makes me appreciate even more what craftsman go through.

[@delta2500]

Glad you are returning to the lumber and forrestry videos. These are always the one´s I enjoy the most.

[@ncauhfsuohd]

Something about these types of projects where you really, really, start from scratch is very fulfilling and rewarding. Two years to dry is a worthwhile wait. I really hope it doesn't bow while it's drying!

[@willb3018]

And I hope I am here to see it. 🤔

[@thorzyan]

If he wants to make a bowl, he's going to need to go somewhere with a lathe. If they have the lathe, they probably have a wood drying kiln. It's a pretty small slab, so yeah, with the altitude and temperature shifts, this project deserves a little professional intervention I think.

[@jonathanbuzzard6648]

It's 4" thick, as long as any bow is not too bad you will be able to bring it back to flat and still have a decent thickness for a top.

[@thorzyan]

Sven3xs yes, a lathe turned burl bowl. There's KZbin pages dedicated to it. High value item.

[@ronsmith1364]

Definitely showing why burl is so prized. Once the water hits after a fresh cut all the grain shines & the beauty is visible. Neat project, nice to see a reclamation turn into a potential bench, bowl or table. You could sell some of the smaller pieces for carving or wood burning sign projets. Made From Wranglerstar wood recovery ltd. Thanks for sharing

[@padrigleamhnach]

Biggest cliffhanger ever! Can't wait to see the table in two years.

[@st05002125]

Just glad it’s not 4 years!!!

[@home-powersystems7782]

I was a building engineer in the 80's and my helper was a cribbage player and told me he had over 200 boards. One time he showed me his favorite... a burl knot with the board circling up to the top. Still great work Cody.

[@phillaird3763]

[@jonsadevntures433]

Your camera work/editing is some of the best. Has been for a long time.

[@saltboy9]

I am not saying a man isn't a man if he doesn't love a chainsaw, but he sure has a harder case to build. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. I can almost smell the wood, the chainsaw, the saw dust. Thank you.

Well. We actually have done more than Minecraft and husqvarna but it’s kind of fun he mentioned it.😄 It would be fun if he could visit Sweden and look how we made those chainsaws and maybe visit a museum and the Swedish forests.

You should put that on your Mill and rip it down the middle. So you will have a book-match set. Then you will have a really nice table size with killer grain pattern.

Thank you for highlighting the beauty that surrounds us all that is so often overlooked.

[@damnoldguy]

Simply beautiful. I love sensory memory, as soon as the chips started flying I could smell the wood.

[@michaelstormoen]

Well done! For those of you who have Amish neighbors, I'd encourage you to visit them, get to know them, and work with them. Many around here have bandsaw mills that will do a great job milling up your bespoke log for a very fair price. If you wish to have the rough sawn look, find one with a circle saw and have them remove a few teeth to give things a rougher look. Don't forget that you should let things dry (or find a local kiln) to get to a final moisture content that allows for proper machining.

[@topcat6228]

Cody. Put some paste wax on the rails so it will slide easily.

[@stump-bossBIll]

A great treasure you harvested there Cody! God bless you and your family as well.

[@dougnoe7094]

Hey mr w what had really helped me was I took a full comp chain and ground off 4 cutters then left 2 ... ground 4 then left 2 ...end result of a big skip and the 2 cutters where always offset.. left right right left .. it was much faster less to sharpen just a win win and no Super expensive mill chain. I’m using a husqvarna 2100 of the old days with a 42” bar. If you have a old chain give it a go and tell me what ya think!

[@kduhamel]

That was a brilliant set up for the mill. Beautiful slabs. Thanks for posting with all the detail.

[@bingnowtv]

What do they call that... a burl family heirloom piece - r - what? Far Out Dude! Wow!! You had us wondering there for a minute but a 4" slab was a good choice Captain!

[@ccadama]

@Wranglerstar. You've got a good eye for a treasure in the rough. Many great wood projects will come of your find. Hope you and your family stay safe and well.

[@porpoise5518]

You should make some scales for a set of kitchen knives out of the left over stuff, that would be really nice

[@AndrexT]

Yes, great idea. I suggested knife scales yesterday. They just need stabilizing. you can even fill any voids with coloured resin.

[@whatareyoudoing363]

There's a positive metaphor here, Cody. A burl like that is not something we can make happen. It's a blessing. But, without the skill, preparation, availability and willingness of an artisan, it'll just be a cool looking chunk of wood. When the two meet, the God blessed burl and the God blessed man (who did his part to be what was needed)... Something really wonderful can come about. God's continued blessings on you and your family.

[@steadyslayer]

Cool stuff, I cut slabs for a living with a lucasmill. I love how with each log you never truly know what it looks like inside

Cutting a burl the right way is a lot like a jeweler cutting a gemstone.

[@Joestacemazjojo]

I am just waiting for my new Amazon discount super special 36" Mill to arrive, Thank you for the fantastic tip on using the normal chains and this beautiful shelf jig, that's a great idea. lol You really have me thinking now, this is turning into quite the elaborate improved contraption project for me, I had to cut myself off at the railroad plan spanning the property for collection and a traveling mill, I'm now stuck on some notion of using Aluminum ladders and all kinds of other things, I'm going with a boat trailer hand winch set up too but I was toying with using an electric one that I can try to gear for the optimum speed, anyway lol this will be my first Mill I'm super excited lol. I'm going to be using a Husky 562 with a 24' bar and try these new X Cut chains for a trial run before any major improvements start, I'm well aware that this is most likely going to turn into one of those hindsight moments when I look back and say it would have been easier and cheaper to have Woodmeister have made me a custom personalized version of their most expensive Mill they have ever produced but I'm at that age where I don't even argue with myself anymore, the longest way around has always been my calling.

I really wanna see you and Mrs W do an artsy epoxy fill. Use that remaining wood to make a mirror image and then join them together with resin. Lots of KZbin videos. Nice thick coat of protection. You need a full size wood turning lathe to make a bowl, and I do t recall seeing one of those behemoths in your shop.

[@callumrushton3934]

the Husky combi-cans have a tendency to leak once you have used them for a while because the O ring around the top of the spout tends to either split or come out of place. they also do make the same anti spill spout for the bar oil, you just have to buy them separately. however i wouldn't recommend them especially in colder climates because the oil takes a long time to come out, i have used the cans day in day out for years working in forestry and tree surgery.
