I enjoyed watching the sawmill cut that red oak log. Beautiful on the inside.

Thanks, Joey! I am getting addicted to this milling!

[@JelenOutDoors]

Howdy John, sure is lots of character in the slabs from the ugly oak. It's always exciting to see what inside when milling. Have a great Sunday!

[@thebradleysoncatbirdhill6849]

Thanks, Paul! I think that is what makes milling so addictive....the surprises inside. Thanks for watching!

[@howardkettner]

Wow! That is true beauty. Love it. Can hardly wait to see where it goes from here. You’ve got some amazing cuts. Thanks for sharing the journey. Nice salvage!

[@thebradleysoncatbirdhill6849]

Thanks, Howard!!! And a huge bonus.....no nails!

Good morning John, you got some absolutely beautiful slabs out of that old oak 👍 makes for a great day 🌞👍 I enjoyed the video, thanks for sharing, Ben

I am a blessed man and it’s not Just Buckin it’s so many wonderful new friends like you I have had the opportunity to know through this channel. Blessings my friend. 🙏♥️

Beautiful wood Mr. John, 5 series HUSQVARNA in the beginning of the video? Your camera work was spendid....

[@thebradleysoncatbirdhill6849]

Thanks so much, Brian! It is definitely like striking gold when I opened aup that log. Actually, the chainsaw is a 346XP.... truly one of my favorite huskies.

[@thebradleysoncatbirdhill6849]

And thank you, very kindly, for the compliment on the camera work. I have a long way to go, but it's fun playing around with the video work.

[@martyrutter3630]

Mind boggling how a log so ugly on the outside winds up looking like the. The old saying don’t judge a log by it’s cover. 😂Blessings John ❤

Morning John! That must be one heavy log! Now that the HM136 is out do you find yourself wishing for that one vs your 130Max? Cheers, Alex

[@thebradleysoncatbirdhill6849]

Hey Alex!!!! Thanks so much for watching! You asked a really good question. Honestly, the bulk of what I will be cutting on my property can easily be handled by the HM130 max. I do have an Alaskan saw mill with plenty of chainsaws and bars for the bigger stuff, even if I just have to shave down the big logs to get them on the mill. Have you ordered your mill yet?

[@brokenpinesfarm]

No, the wood chipper took a chunk out of my budget. Really need to hit that 1000 subscribers mark to start justifying more purchases to the wife hehe! I still think the 130Max would also be plenty for what is ob my property. Have a great day.

[@tractortalkwithgary1271]

Good morning John

[@thebradleysoncatbirdhill6849]

Hey, Gary!!! How's the weather ou you way now? If I remember correctly, one of the first of your videos I ever watched was you loading firewood through a basement window!

[@tractortalkwithgary1271]

@@thebradleysoncatbirdhill6849 , yep John. Down the coal chute and into the old basement. Will be doing that again here pretty soon. The weather has been great here but today got seriously windy. The leaves are spectacular right now.
