Man! Those walnut logs look beautiful. They look like black gold.

[@SawdustStories-ny]

Exceptional! This video gave me a new perspective on sawmilling. It's fascinating to see the detailed work involved in sawmilling. The video quality is top-notch. I'm excited to see what you share next. Continue sharing these amazing videos!

[@richpeggyfranks490]

I've been a fine woodworker for over 50 years. I loved your comment, "Christmas in February". After all the jewelry boxes, picture frames, night stands, toy boxes, etc., etc. that I have made, I still hold my breath and am still amazed at the beautiful wood grain patterns that our Creator has blessed us with as I apply the first swipe of oil onto raw wood. God Bless.

[@harrykeel8557]

Curly walnut, but some of the figure has a wispy look to it similar to fiddle back look to it. Its absolutely beautiful!

[@dougmcnattin386]

I don't know how many times I have been watching you and this is good. Good to actually see you remove a hunk of something like the glass insulator from your plank. Thank you. I know you didn't want to destroy a blade. But you show how you do it . Other people don't do as good a job as you. Thanks again.

[@lpconserv6074]

Us folks out here really appreciate you taking all that time to let us in on your ceramic treasure hunt today!! I often wondered about that with a mill running a band saw blade... A lot of folks got a very good, detailed lesson !!! Many thanks!!

[@robinredman5192]

That beeper, "It's got a good beat, but you can't dance to it". Prayers for your back Neighbor. God Bless. John here, from the back-roads of Northeastern Tennessee.

[@annlaurie1484]

Hope tomorrow is a better day for you. Lovely walnut, take care. 😊

Walnut. My goodness. Goosebumps, salivation, and a twinge. Brilliant.

[@jeanneprice6736]

Totally agree about the phone situation while driving.

[@johnking8679]

It's ALL about "Safety First", Nathan !! Here in CA, probably like elsewhere, it's against the law to use a cell phone while driving !!

[@seanseoltoir]

It's just like "drinking and driving"... If you can't drink AND drive, choose ONE and do it WELL... As a pilot, I can fly and airplane and communicate on the radio, so I think I can drive a car (which is limited to only 2 dimensions) and talk on the phone... Of course, that's assuming that I actually had anyone that I wanted to talk to in the first place (not the case because I'm an anti-social obnoxious SOB)... Now, get off my lawn, dammit!

[@SilvaDreams]

Considering in most places in the US it's illegal to use your phone while driving unless using a hands free device, just most people don't know it and police have given up enforcing it unless the yget in an accident then they slap you with the fine.

[@dalgguitars]

I'm with you Nathan. Cell phones are dangerous on the road!

[@jamesbrischke4815]

So glad you found that annoying beeper! We only hear it for as long as it's making noise on the video, not the whole time you're moving Sir Kato, which is what you get to listen to.

[@mstrdiver]

Nathan - another cell phone in a restaurant horror story. The wife and I were sitting at a sushi restaurant watching the chef make his presentations for us, when the clown next to us kept sharing the most annoying cell ring ever. It was that of a crying infant and he kept sharing it with his three buddies siting to his left. Finally, the chef who was a good friend of ours asked him to turn t off or take it outside. Fortunately, that's when his buddies also told him that was enough too.

[@samleigh7817]

You mean the safety reverse warning?

[@jamesbrischke4815]

@@samleigh7817 it's whenever the tracks are moving, forward or reverse.

[@mburke1211]

I agree with your cell phone rant 100%. That is one beautiful curly walnut slab! I hope you take enough profit from it to reimburse you for the losses. I guess it's all part of being a sawyer. Good video as always.

[@jackclark1994]

oh those slabs are like $1000 minimum, for the lowest grades.. plus with the curl in it it's probably about an extra 1000 . he'll make more than his money back off of those

[@RightHandShot]

Gotta love Walnut, never disappoints. Thanks

[@chrisconley6095]

[@kencross25]

I hope you're back is feeling better.

[@richardthornhill4630]

Looks like some good slabs coming.

[@EricNielsen187]

Speaking about finding things in trees. I had two 60 foot spruce trees between my house and my neighbours, min 3 feet at the butt. The trees were 12 feet from my house and 10 feet from my neighbour. I called several Arborist companies, as soon as they saw it they said "Nope". One guy told me $1500 per tree and I had to had to do all the clean up and removal... Let's just say he didn't like my response. My old man was a logger, and I build log homes, I know a thing or two about chain saws. I climbed, limbed, and brought both trees down piece by piece. Wife came home from work and begged me "Please wear your chain saw clothes" All I had was my winter chain saw pants. Last cut was 6 inches below grade so I didn't have to rent a stump grinder. Really hot out, I'm worn out, and on my knee in an awkward position with my Stihl MS361with 24 inch bar. The tree grew around a steel T post used to support the tree when it was first planted, they also use them for temp wire fencing. I couldn't stop the kick back. Hit me middle right thigh. Pants did there job, destroyed my bar and carbide chain and one hell of a bruise. Wife told me after, I was mad I ruined my $400 pants. I deserved a solid "WTF were you thinking" slap up side the head that day. If not for my wife??? If anyone reads this wear your PPE and when that little voice in your head says "This ain't smart" LISTEN

[@C.O._Jones]

😳 Wow! I’m glad to hear you’re okay. That story sent a shiver down my spine.

[@suptketcham]

I’m a logger and I do tree work arborist is a fancy word in my part of the USA . A Stihl chainsaw has the best chain brake of all saws . Carbide chain and 400$ pants

[@robertthomas5906]

$400 to not have probably a life changing permanent injury? Sounds like a bargain to me.

[@sheilaolfieway1885]

Lot's of people lack that voice.... or are too stubborn to listen to it.

[@ThatOneGuyWithTheEye]

Pussy can't even stop a lil kickback. I can stop any saw dead just hold the thing right.

[@CrossCultural-c7f]

It was good to see a slab of walnut!

[@olddawgdreaming5715]

Ouch ! That hurts to get into something like that with the sawmill. You'll get it done though and salvage more on the next cut maybe. Thanks for sharing with us Nathan, hope you do better on the rest of the walnut lumber. Stay safe and keep up the good work. Fred.

[@kaboom4679]

I was expecting a rock , but a ceramic insulator is close enough . Not fun losing a blade but that gorgeous walnut almost makes up for it .

[@brucealvarez9263]

Wow, that insulator must have been put in many, many decades ago given how deep it was. No way anyone would know it was there. Beautiful wood.

[@Captain-ln3vh]

Wow the slab is beautiful.

[@jeffreyyoung4104]

Nice video! Thanks for making and sharing it! The plea for drivers to get off their cell phones, falls upon deaf ears! Sadly, people have no idea what kind of danger they become when they drive while being distracted by a cell phone. It is ridiculous how often they cause traffic to slow down, attempt to pass, and create a danger for everyone around them. When you are driving, you have to remain in control at all times of your vehicle. If a phone call is so important, pull off the road and make, or receive, your call! I suffered a very nasty accident years ago, and I was off work 7 months from the accident. So I have a strong opinion of people who drive while distracted! Beautiful trees! I have a small plot of land I call Walnut Grove Farm, and I have had many trees come down from storms. But I have always wondered why no one seems interested in the stump, where the burl wood grows. Do people just let the stumps rot?

[@greatsilentwatcher]

Precision loading... very impressive.

[@greatsilentwatcher]

Not so bad on the unloading...

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

[@johngagne986]

Take care of that back Nathan! Man what a day you had. Down one Joe Maine Silver-Tip 7. Hope you have his number to give him a call 🤣. If you need it I might have it around here someplace. I hear he ships fast. Looking forward to the rest of that walnut on the mill. It is beautiful wood.

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

Thanks 👍

[@texasjetman]

Sorry about the back Nathan. Ibuprofen and rest is a must. Don’t miss that beeper ONE bit. So glad. Also SAD I missed watching on Patreon NO KZbin Commercials 🤠

Get better, Nathan. Try to enjoy your evening.

[@kkeenan536]

Wow, so beautiful 🤩 hope you have a heating pad for your back! I commented to Daniel Armes to contact you to see how you disconnected the irritating beeper on the Kato 👍

[@noneofyourbusiness3553]

About 25 years ago I had a contract to mill the logs from another mill where their metal detector kicked out the log on my circular mill. They had a cut coming off CFB Petawawa and there was a considerable amount of material that had metal inclusion. It was mostly white pine. The closer that you got to the metal, the colour would change from pink to purple to black. If you watched, you could catch most of it. One log I was milling started to show the ink and purple. I shut down and got out the chisel and mallet. As I hacked this thing out, it started to show up round on the end at a diameter of 3 to 4 inches. Remember, this came off a military base. I cleared the guys out of the mill and cut a 20" piece out of the centre of the log and took it out into the yard. I gave the base a call and told them I wanted them to come get their bomb, figuring it might be an unexploded shell. It took a bit of coercion and a couple more phone calls but, the bomb squad from base came down. It turned out that it was a smoke grenade that got lodged into the tree. Likely fired from a tank that was sitting beside the tree. We went through about 150,000 feet for this company, at a premium for the sawing plus damages. We went through 5 gallons of insert bits, a couple dozen shanks, a blade and an arbour. Despite the company being good with us a story and gaining about 150 pounds of shrapnel, nails, barbed wire, wire anchors and one spend smoke grenade, that deal really wasn't worth it.

[@roysmith5268]

Hope your back is ok brother, wished we lived closer , I have a 31” x 20’ red oak log to cut into boards.

[@robertgreen8695]

Like you said, things happen and the only thing that you can do is go the the flow.

[@morgansword]

Back in the early fifties, I heard of a fellow in Minnesota that only harvested the limbs on his trees each year keeping them pruned and healthier. He also dug up the stumps and got other things from them. I heard that those limbs were as big as the log you just sawed!!

[@danwilkening888]

That is a stunning piece of lumber!! Great job!

[@peterkemp1973]

Great to see you safely securing the logs to the trailer. Where I come from it's a big fine if you don't - and you are fined a thousand dollars for EACH item not secured. It does add up to a very heavy penalty for not being safe when towing a load! I'd hate to be in a car when one or all those logs got jettisoned.

[@davidhullinger3636]

Hey Nathan; why don’t we see you sawing up some nice curly or quilted maple and some bucket splashes?

[@robertfarrow4256]

Our oldest son was killed by a distracted driver. I agree with you totally.

[@robmatthews7972]

Cell phones are the best and worst things that have happened to us. I remember a Black Walnut in the back of Granny`s yard next to the alley in Roanoke, Va. The property got sold in the late 1980s and I guess that tree was cut down and chipped up. Pretty slab.

[@loucinci3922]

New logs look good. Enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing

[@adrianstephens4685]

In Australia it is illegal to use a phone while driving. There was a report that traffic cameras were to be upgraded so that the camera will pick up an offender and report it. So good.

[@twalrus1]

Is it true that in Australia, if you are found guilty of using a phone while driving, the judge gets one good kick in the crotch on you?

[@MrCoxmic]

very nice slab, wish I could afford one like that

[@mikedkc]

There is a cellphone etiquette that falls under the umbrella of common courtesy. Unfortunately common courtesy seems to be the exception. I am with you a hundred percent on texting and talking while driving. Our state outlawed it but you know how that goes.

[@craigwatt1303]

absolutly agree with what your saying about mobile phones. used to work. in the audio industry. my boss used to drive an often verry overloaded transit van. sometimes with a trailer, and when the phone rings he would just pick it up like he's not doing anything else.

[@robert.brokaw3829]

I heard the blade hit that insulator - ouch. At least the blade did not snap and you were able to safe the walnut. Stay safe.

[@eddylyles5773]

Now we know how get out of a log. Well done 👏

[@sammylacks4937]

In my 33 years as a sawfiler I saw everything but a winning lottery ticket in SYP trees/logs. Axe head, rail road spikes, couple miles of barbed wire, one bee hive , fat lighter galore , various unidentified metal pieces , bullets and nails 8 , 10 , 16 to 60 penny. But the no 1 bandsaw destroyer and were many , the porcelain electric fence insulator grown inside tree and invisible metal detector. One will make the tooth side look like the backside and seldom have a scratch on it when found.

Hope your back is better soon... getting a blade buggered up on a hidden chunk in a log is pretty frustrating. You handled it well tho. Great video.

[@diedredunham7383]

I really like black walnut, it's my favorite wood. I wish I could afford one of those slabs!! I'd make a table out of it. I don't really have the room to put it in, but I'd almost get a bigger dinningroom house to have it. IF I COULD AFFORD it!!

Jim Sim...I started making furniture from seccond hand timber in the early 7 0 s ..I used to buy it from a yard that knocked down Victorian weaving mills around Bradford leads area u k ..when I went to buy some timber the owner asked me to look at some big pieces there were three fully intact pieces 54 foot long 3 foot deep and 2foot thick they had 2 inch bolt holes in 5 places leaving 4 pieces of clean tar painted wood ..from old rail viaduct ..I asked him where I could get them sawn ..he told me about a rack bench circular saw in darlington 8 foot diameter clip in teeth blade ..I asked how much to cut he said hourly rate 2 men diesel plus any blade costs .. I then went to the timber yard purchased said 3 p c s wood and cut the bolt holes out and cleaned all surfaces took me2 weeks with help from yard lifting turning wood ..transported 28 miles to darlington 2 loads ..the sawmill put one on the rollers and lined it up 3 foot deep cut 2 inches thick about 20 minutes later the 2st plank came of the bench deep yellow .orange redwoods I cut 4 2 inch slabs of the end of what would have been the biggest treetacking a Trammell compass and accurately following the growth rings the tree would have been over 14 foot in diameter .I had all 12 pieces sawn into 1 ..1.5 .. 2 ..2.5 ..3 . 1ncc plank 4 ..6 ..8 ..squares I could manage lifting it with some helping took me years to use this wood and I now have many people who still have the furniture ..it is now almost impossible to get the wood there are very few old buildings left and all have preservation orders on them and my family still own all 4 end slab tables and no one could pry them away from any family member .ii took photos of all this and they amaze every one who sees them ...

You should try driving here in Florida. The tourists are driving rentals, so they don't care if they ding it up; It'll be covered by the insurance rider on their rental contract. And worst case, they'll be out of state (or country) by the time it comes to court. Don't even get me started on cell phones, texting, or trying to follow GPS maps while driving.

[@MartinMMeiss-mj6li]

Good video, and very informative. Here's a question for you: you mentioned, and then showed, cutting a log that was a little longer than the length you needed down to the desired length, which means you had a leftover chunk in the round. Is that leftover chunk the most convenient shape for future use? I was thinking it might be better to saw your slabs at the full length of the log and then cut the ends off, which would leave you with a bunch of mini-slabs. Wouldn't they be more convenient for making things like trays, plaques, and cutting boards?

[@herbmichelledroogendyk5208]

Might make a U board - to drop down over a log to check the width of your cut. Hard to measure inside the log if there is a bump or burl or limb joint. Should be easy with a sheet of ply or made up from thin sticker boards .
