I started watching your videos since mid March when I started working from home. I am in Oxfordshire England and have no experience in logging or milling in fact I do railway recovery which just shifting heavy metal about but I have learnt so much from your channel. Great work Nathan!!!

Sometimes in life things work out just like they are supposed to. That was the case with this log. When it first became available, you were not able to take advantage of the offer. The log was lost. Later, when you are in a place to accept the log, it is found again. Good things happen to good people. 👍

I bought my first Woodmizer in '93. It was an LT30, and in '99 I was contract sawing at a commercial mill in middle Tn, sawing all their large prime logs. In 2 years I sawed over a half million bf. One time a guy brought me a walnut that was over 36" diameter x 12 ft. with the top log, I nearly sawed 1000bf. I'm on my third mill now. It's a standard LT40 non hydraulic that I use on my 110 acres of timber. I very seldom fell any walnut because it's still growing. That wide cut mill looks like a good one.

What a wonderful log - always loved walnut tree's in general. Last to get leaves in the spring and the first to drop them in the fall around here.

This is awesome to see that something so beautiful lives on in a different way! Live about 45 minutes from G’Burg and Pigeon Forge. Was working on a Large standby generator install at a pump station up at Cobbly Knob when it was all happening and got ran off the mountain by rescue and fire teams, only to go back and have to tear out what we had already done, and start all over again, plus repair and replace many other electrical systems due to the heat of the fire at the Pump station. Those people went through a lot and some still are trying to get insurance monies to cover damages to homes and rental properties. It is amazing, however, to see the results of the rebuilding process! Great video, hits home!

What a gorgeous log of Walnut!! WoW!! And when that water hits it and brings everything out like being magnified...simply nothing but sheer beauty and her own story of a very long rich life. Do you ever sell the pieces that you first cut off to anyone by chance? Congratulations on that beauty making her way back to you!! way to go!!

Beautiful wood! In 1963 I completed flight training at Pensacola and my 1st duty station was at New River Marine Corps Air Station at Camp Lejeune, NC. In Jacksonville, NC I bought our first home, a 10 ft wide mobile home. The living room of that $4,000 mobile home had beautiful genuine walnut veneer paneling. Haven't been able to afford walnut since.
