Your Experience shows , whittling those big logs down that that sawmill isn’t made to mill , congratulations Mark , that others aren’t willing to try . You certainly are making it work and making more money out of stuff others can’t or won’t do . May your family stay have good health and long life in that order Sir

I work in tree services for a municipality in Melbourne Australia and we have thousands of big Pin Oaks as Street trees and have felled plenty over the years. I’ve milled a few with a Chainsaw mill to make tables and benches. Just a bit of a hobby. I really enjoyed watching you mill this one. I reckon l’d drop in and say G’day if I wasn’t one the other side of the world. Its thirsty work cutting timber, Ha. Love your videos fellas

What was gnarly and less than ideal on the outside was showing off stunning grain and figure on the inside. I can easily imagine tables made from the less than clear boards with epoxy accents or an epoxy river. Completely enjoy traveling along with you gents as you explore the hidden beauty.

[@jiminycricket2230]

Great video guys and great looking wood out of that ugly log. The old Jimmy was clearing her throat pretty good on the hardwood. It brings back memories of watching my dad haul logs out of the woods back in the 70's. I spent some time in the jump seat when I was a kid and the Detroit diesels were all around me in the woods. Kids are spoiled today and watching a man work would never be tolerated without offering to pitch in. Good job Eddie tossing those boards around. They wonder where old man strength comes from? You just saw it.

[@markfeasel9431]

I could watch this all day. Worked on same style saw mill with my father years ago. But everything was manual. Tail hook. Tail saw. Dogs were manual and lever tighten. Nice operation. Love this sight. Thank.

Nice looking lumber after all. Sweetie got a pin oak and planted it in the corner of the yard. It was a BEAUTIFUL tree, or rather grew into one. But it shaded the garden too much and you know where it ended up. In the HEATER and we both were poked and scraped from getting the limbs to the burn pile. Good sawing, Mark.

Mark... I missed this one. My favorites are the long, huge, ugly logs. I describe them as: can-he-mill-that-log? I've got a huge computer monitor. When any of the family walks by while I'm watching those favorites... they're captured till it's finished. Oh, I forgot the crooked trees. It seems impossible that you could get straight boards out-of-those, but you do, every time. Don't pass up any big, crooked, ugly trees.

Isn't red (pin) oak a bad choice for a use where the deck will be exposed to the wet, like a lowboy truck? How many saleable bd.ft. did you get out of that log; more then you expected?

[@markgalicic7788]

yes but they tear these decks up way before they rot out. we got more out than I thought we would.

[@zinnprojectbig]

Pardon my not knowing. How do you define decking? What itvits purpose?

[@lwilton]

In this case it is boards to put on the deck of a flat trailer to haul equipment and supplies. A lot of trailers have wood decks (floors) rather than metal so that you and equipment are less likely to slip if they get wet, and so you can nail stuff down if you need to.

[@zinnprojectbig]
