why did we put these black locust logs on the mill # 548

[@garydotson2277]

Those trashy logs actually make for very interesting video. We all know what to expect from a great log but these are full of surprises.

[@Keepithonest7]

Thanks guys. Always enjoy your videos. I think running the ole mill would be a challenge yet enjoyable.

[@vengervoldur6534]

I look forward to those future pine and spruce sawing videos. I'm a hobbyist bandsaw mill user and just finished sawing about 30 loblolly pine logs ranging from 8 to 14 feet long and 5 to 9 inches in diameter. After sawing all these into lumber, I am especially keen for the experience of others on how they cut their timber into boards. I think those pine and spruce logs will be personally relevant and I hope to pick up some tips and tricks. While I was happy enough with the work I did, I don't feel confident in my sawing decisions. Time will tell and more experience under my belt will teach me more. I eagerly anticipate what further videos you freely provide. Thank you.

[@markgalicic7788]

thanks , the best teacher is to saw them and see how it turns out.

[@JasperFromMS]

Yes, I did enjoy that. I learn more about what it takes to be a skilled Sawyer by watching you make ugly lumber instead of pretty lumber. And as always, it takes teamwork and concentration to stay safe. The danger doesn't go down along with the lumber value.

[@markgalicic7788]

thanks Jasper , great comment.

We have a lot of locust on our property. They are kind of a nasty tree. Always dropping bark, dead limbs and branches. Very few of them end up with a good solid, straight trunk. It does make very good firewood when it's dry. Burns very hot and lasts a long time. The thorns are wicked on the smaller branches.

[@BigC-e5z]

Grandpa was saying sometimes it's good so saw lumber from logs like that. It gets a Sawyer thinking about ways to saw other logs and get better yield.
