What it Takes to Make Lumber; Sawing Red Oak for the Same Price as Softwood!

Thanks Emerald and Jade for another beautiful video Thank the Bossman and Boss lady for teaching their daughters so well. Beautiful video

Thank you for the kind comment…Boss Man.

My father-in-law always heated his house with slabs, which he called hog slats from the local saw mill, he would take his flat bed dump truck and buy a load,for penny's on the dollar and cut them to length which he burned in the wood stove and used as his primary heat source during the winter months !! Smart Man that Grady was !!

To me seeing what's hiding in side a tree is the coolest part of watching a mill work .

We had our house built 20 years ago and had red oak floors installed (downstairs and upstairs including the steps). We’ve had them refinished once and they’re still in great shape. Despite their best efforts, even our grandchildren haven’t damaged them.

I really enjoy watching your Woodmizer. That is quite the machine. Nice work!

[@paullynch277]

Hi Emerald. Not sure if you have seen the YT channel called "Out of the Woods". As you are now cutting Hard Woods, it may be useful to meet up with that guy and do a video together - would be useful to pick up tips as he cuts a lot of hardwood on a Woodmiser Sawmill It will also expose your channel to his subscribers and vice versa - should help your channel subs grow. He has also made a lot of improvements to his Woodmiser Sawmill to make it easier to operate and has a lot of tricks he has developed over the last few years to help him cut more accurately and efficiently. I think it would be very beneficial for you to get in touch and try do something together.

[@larss592]

I kinda thought the same some time ago as i watched his channel as well. Unfortunately i became disenchanted with his channel after watching him burn wood that as he himself stated is not worth his time and his attitude towards giving it to someone else that could find a use for it. Im one state over from him and could find 20 individuals with wood stove heated shops that would be happy to come pick up his waste to use in their stoves. This family goes out of their own way to be waste concious. Certainly not birds of a feather.

[@charlesmiddleton3247]

I'm thinking if the Boss Man was to have a yearly job performance review, that special crew would get a A++! You all are just awesome and Emerald, you are the quintessential teacher and guide to good vibrations:-) Keep your "shinning light bright" and follow your path of success...

Red Oak makes some pretty lumber. And I love the smell of it when you cut into it.

[@billherrick3569]

watching logs open up is addicting.

[@toddepperson7465]

Red oak has a distinctive smell to it as with pine and cedar trees 🌳

[@jacobwilliams5271]

I've been stuck at a desk all day and I hardly get to see the sun. Sometimes I wonder if an outdoors job would suit me better, but I don't like the freezing cold or scorching heat. It was 75 and sunny in Mississippi today. I would have been outside all day if I could.

You'd get used to the temperature extremes. Maybe like it after awhile.

[@randyschwerin6247]

Hi Em I noticed that you square up the log and then cut the cant into boards from top to bottom. If you are selling them for construction grade that is fine, but if you want to sell for furniture you should cut boards from all the sides and then edge them. That way you stay away from the heat which is very low quality for furniture. Randy

[@tonyseidita5766]

Randy is correct. You need to learn to saw around the heartwood and to put the knots on the edges so they get edges off as well. Keep up the good work.

[@alisciamarotta3888]

Randy are you referring to quarter sawing?

[@PerspectiveEngineer]

What a great future with these two around.

I follow other different sites and most of them number their videos... Ever thought of doing something similar.... All the best to your family for 2023

[@SqueakyWheelMakesNoise]

I have a good 50 to 75 ponderosa pine on my land in southern Oregon. People say it's valuable. I never got much into selling wood. Just got into learning to work with it. I personally like hard woods so I can build stronger structures with them instead of the softwoods. I wonder how much each tree is worth? They are full size trees. Maybe 2 and a half to 3 feet wide. Beautiful looking trees.

[@cascadebearguide]

I'm from just south of the border from ya depending on where you're at. Still a decent market for bigger pine. I lived on the I-5 corridor.

Hypnotic watching the machine. Yes, we remember the UNADVERTISED availability of the oak, probably purchased by someone driving by who does not give a hoot what type it is. For a January, so far this year is mild (42-29) in central PA. Enjoy it ladies

[@kensmith8832]

It is always fun trying to explain how black and pin oak can give red oak lumber! The white oak is the only one that lives up to it's name, white oak lumber. White oak has a neat trait as a board can be placed one end in a bucket of water and you blow into the other end, air bubbles will show up in the bucket.

[@lukasstrne3780]

Red oak has some of the best medullary rays. The wide board flooring in some of the buildings of the Smithsonian Museums in Washington DC got my attention more than some of the exhibits. Visit if you get a chance.

[@samvincent3893]

Hi! I enjoy watching your videos and I am impressed with the work ethic and skill of the young lady "Sawyers." I am a retired Lumberman and Sawyer who built and owned several conventional soft and hardwood mills, the largest, a hardwood mill in East Texas that produced about 10mm board feet/year. I've never owned or operated a Woodmizer mill, but of course, I'm well acquainted with the brand and type, having been around since the 1st ones came out. My mills always had a circular headrig, but I had a couple with band linebars and resaws. I have a couple of questions if you have the time and inclination to answer. One....what kind of production are you able to achieve with your mill? I would guess that 500-700 feet/hour is going to be a good number given my observation of your feed rate. Two...obviously, hardwood is going to be a lot tougher on blades than a softwood. How often do you sharpen/replace blades? Do you run coolant/ lubricant? Three....I'm not being critical but you seem to slab heavy. Are you trying for a 4" or 6" opening face? Does the blade tend to snake or run out if you're a little shallow in your cut? I won't bother you anymore. I'm just an old sawmill man who can't get the sawdust out of my cuffs! My wife complains if we go on a trip, because if we go past a small sawmill, I have to stop and talk.b Keep up the fine work and I'll keep watching!

I would think that few thicker 3 or 4 inch mantel pieces especially when there exceptional log comes through or for table tops and legs grand parents had big round table with fancy turned spiral legs that was expandable for family diner had 3 ome fit wide drop leafs that would store under the top stowed under top and above leg attachments Rarely ever see anymore or a large harvest style table had one with captain style chair most comfortable chairs for being solid wood

Good evening girls what beautifull wood imagine a house made with this wood must be amazing

[@ph044930]

[@PhiLBilly_PhilRodgers]

Have you thought about kiln drying your lumber? Also yinz should saw out a lean too or something to cover your inventory from the elements. You’d probably sell a lot more if it was protected a little better and dried.

[@bdh21566]

They're always so short on inventory it seems like they aren't having any trouble selling it quickly🙂

[@joeyoliver579]

Im sure you already know this, but sawdust is really good mulch for blueberries. Its a natural product that also makes the soil acidic....which blueberries love. Blueberries are high in antioxidants as well.Get a few bushes!

[@gordbaker896]

Why are you not using the Carbide cutter to clear the bark for the sawblade?

[@paulrambone6705]

This is what hard work looks like. Enjoy.

[@erniekinney1588]

I'm surprised you don't turn your log more often saw the high-grade off the outer make blocking or a tie out of the Heartwood

[@patrickshull4462]

Red oak prices are way down so they are better off just cutting it into construction grade lumber, no turning.

[@supersawyer358]

Have yall looked into a select sawmill ? Higher production, bigger bandsaw blades and double cut configuration.

[@patrickshull4462]

Then they would never be able to start cutting hardwoods to grade.

[@Cbor322]
