"Log!" I am your logger. (Star Wars) Nice work where the sawyer gets very up close with the wood.

You never know when you are going to learn something new. Thanks.

You sister Jade. Is doing A great Job of filming Your Vidieos. You Guys Have came a long way on You Tube. Keep up the Great work

Awesome video and family ❤👍🏼🇺🇸❤️🌹

The mountains and hills in the background are beautiful , my favorite time of year .

quarter sawn oak and maple is really beautiful!

I did not know that Sycamore was good for furniture. I have never seen a piece made from it. Good stuff

Alright...I learned from you again today. Nothing like getting schooled by a young one. At least you're easy on the eyes. You and Jade are lumber one in my books. Lol! Thanks for the video Em!

I learn something new every day watching you guys---thank you!!

I'm a 70 year old man worked in the furniture for 37 years. You are so correct on everything. I'm so glad to see people still learning. You need to put that hair into a honeytail. Maybe 10 of them. I don't know. Don't be unsafe.

Great fall colors on the hill across the road,

Hello everyone outstanding as always fresh cut logs I can’t stay away the smell is unbelievable

Always enjoy you and your videos, good to see you handling those big ole logs , where's Jade lol😎🤙

Beautiful milling guys! Thanks so much for sharing. Blessings!

When this notification came in I was glued to the story by Buckn' Billy Ray titled The Day I Almost Died In The Bush. Wood is good. It's been good to me. Thanks for your channel. 🌄

Good job, as per usual. Lumber Cap. is rockin' 🤘👍☺️

This quarter sawn is totally unknown here in Germany... So I have made a video about it .. I like Ur videos, my favourite are when Ur dad explain something. Really interesting. Greetings Wolfgang

Nice Job Emerald and Jade. Awesome tutorial on Quarter Sawing!!

I used to make Cigar Humidors from quarter sawn “snakeskin” sycamore. You can’t cheat the process of quartering lumber. Unfortunately because you’re running a horizontal mill you have to cut from the bottom. However a vertical turndown mill cuts on the side and for the most part away from dogs etc. The safest way on a bandsaw is to have a 2X board always on the deck and pevee the log after each cut. Great video ❤

Hi from Deep South Texas. Looking so lovely Emerald❤

Great job Emerald! 👏 👍 👌

Didn't know any good use of Sycamore wood! Learned something new! Thanks! 😊 You taught me!

Your hair looks amazing,your matching with fall Mountain side. Never saw sycamore lumber,thanks for opening my eyes

I was a logger in SC for a few years. Cottonwood and Sycamore were the only species the mills did not want logs cut from. We put any that would fit into our chipper for making paper (20” and under). The rest we cut to lengths for RR ties. I never understand why cuz the sycamore seemed like such a pretty wood.

CADA VIDEO ES UNA NUEVA CLASE DE "COMO HACER LAS COSAS BIEN" ,GRACIAS POR SU GENEROSA VOLUNTAD DE ENSEÑAR - EACH VIDEO IS A NEW CLASS OF 'HOW TO DO THINGS RIGHT', THANK YOU FOR YOUR GENEROUS WILLINGNESS TO TEACH

Wow that red head is really sweet and runs a lumber yard

AIN'T IT JUST AIN'T IT 😎 lols Like digging a Hole always more dirt than Hole..... Sycamore... Purdy.

Quartersawn sycamore is one of my favorite woods for knife scales. It makes very distinctive grain patterns. The color of the heartwood pieces is awesome with just a boiled linseed oil finish. Now get busy and cut me some more.

Nice work and info! I appreciate your talking about safety as well. Safety first! 😊

you've quarter-sawn your way into our hearts

Sycamore trees give off a nice smell, one of the many things to enjoy while drivimg down through Sinnemahoning. That is an impressive amount of lumber. Nice work Girls!

Great overview of quater-sawn lumber. Nice job. Thanks for sharing.

I'm impressed. Didn't know how this was done. Thanks for showing

I love watching your content. I always learn. And i like your style. You keep it real.

Excellent video. Woodmizer has sure come a long way.

If you are nervous about hitting table , place a piece of straight scrap under log to raise your quarter sawn above bed.

Great Job ladies! That quarter sawn lumber really makes some beautiful projects! Thanks for sharing your day with us, an have a great night!

also when quarter sawn the wood expands and contracts through the boards thickness instead of warping and cupping across the grain , thats why its prefered for furniture

Thanks!

After reading all the comments, I saw about 3 that knew how to quarter saw. No slight intended, and only said because your video is titled ' All About Quarter Sawing"....While sawing as you did will get some quarter sawn lumber, 25-30% of optimum, this was not quarter sawing. High quality logs are rare enough to consider maximizing your yield. As a couple others said, cutting off the bottom and flipping after each board is key. Even though I have an edger, I typically edge everything on the mill, by standing a number of boards on the bed and cutting down thru the stack,,,, Another worthwhile tactic is to elevate the smaller end of the log when quartering it to make the cut go thru the center of grain at both ends. Listen and learn, heh heh.... Cheers

It's good to see a kind face! Thanks for sharing! ☺️🌎💖☀️

Very informative video I must of missed this one glad I caught it 🎉🤙🤙🤙😎 , Always enjoy ‘em see you next vid. Luv y’all

Seeing that machine working, I almost expected it to make you a coffee! So impressive how little waste was involved. Great work.

The view of the hill and its colours are amazing. The content of the vid is also great!

You all are great! Know your business. The “Boss” and your Mom are very special and must be very proud of each of you. Phil

Very interesting video Emerald, it would be neat to see the wood after final milling,

All my Martin guitar tops are quarter sawn spruce.

If we all pitched in we could buy these guys a firewood processor for Christmas!

I clicked on this to learn a little more, but she took my attention completely. There needs to be more woman like this in this world! Very impressed by the knowledge and skills. Cheers from texas

You’re a very intelligent in wood wisdom. You’re a very dynamic individual. Bravo 🙌

That stack of lumber looked bigger than the log to me as well! Nice looking stuff.

An Unappreciated species, for sure, fantastic ray patterns. We used to market sycamore timber for flooring (40 yes ago) and it made the heaviest logs I have ever seen coming out of the East Texas woods.

You almost needed a bigger Cant Hook!!!! That baby kept Slipping off!!!😁😉😎🤗😇. Skids/ Pallets are made out of Sycamore!!!! Sycamore is real stringy/ grainy and hard to Spilt!!! Harder to Climb to, its outside surface is real slick!!! Where i grew up those trees were all over the place especially near a river Basin!!!! One tree in particular was Gigantic about 6 and a half feet in Diameter, ( Straight through). Sycamore also has big leaves and Seedy tightly Packed Balls on them, hooked on near the Leafs. Those Balls fall apart after they dry out, and little tiny seeds with Parachute streamers will Float all over the Place!!!

Two redheads. Just outstanding

You're sawyering skills are showing!

I'm a retired cabinetmaker (35 years in the industry) and love it when you cut up hardwood. 1\4 cut lumber is definitely lovely and at times the extra strength is a tremendous benefit.

I planted a sycamore by my shop in Eastern Ontario this summer, well north of its range, so I was delighted to see one quarter sawn. It looks like good wood.

One of the best explanation/demos of the quarter sawn process i have seen. Thanks!

Holy crap dude… that landscape is ridiculously beautiful! I’m from FL which is the flattest state, I’ve never even seen a mountain like that, much less something so colorful and gorgeous. Dude… I need to travel the states a bit. Sheesh. Florida is a boring swamp compared to places like that!

With as much time, labor, and equipment needed to make those fine cuts, I reckon the price for such service is 100% justified. (: And that's once the harvested wood is on site. There's a lot of work involved. I personally would like to drive a giant Pacific truck through the woods 'cause the rumble of diesels. (:

I really like your saw. A local mill has an old lt40 super (electric). It has been extensively modified over the years. The sawyer can really put out the volume of wood. He saws almost exclusively black walnut. I have a simply manually operated home built machine. It works fine for my application and I also didn't have to spend the big bucks to buy it. I use it for building maintenance purposes. I have a hardwood framed building. I want to keep all of the wood hardwood if possible. I enjoy watching your milling videos. I always learn something new watching them.

Once again, the dynamic duo handles that big log easily with ease milling it into 4. I don't think there is anything the dynamic duo can't do. Another great vid Emerald and Jade.

Very relaxing seeing lumber handled so swiftly.

Emerald, thank you for the nice explanation of quarter sawn! Nice work ladies and the finished stack looks productive, too. There will be a happy customer.

It is always a good day when you learn something new. I have heard the phrase "quarter sawing", now I know exactly what it means. Excellent video.

The whole purpose of milling quarter sawn lumber is to highlight the medullary rays in woods like sycamore and white oak. If I had been cutting those logs, I would have taken a slab on either side of the pith first and then cut the other parts into quarter sections. One thing about sycamore is that it has an extremely high water content, which is why it is so heavy when green, and very light when dry. I would consider it too soft for flooring.

Soothing, entertaining, calming, Informative, NO drama. Love you girls. I think I'm hooked. Had to watch twice.

I have always wanted to see what Sycamore would look like especially quarter sawn, great video Emerald.

Thanks, I didn't know what quarter sawing was and now I do. Plus I'm thinking qut means quarter. Once again thanks. Peace and Ahev

We are disposing of oak logs bigger than those from trees that the storm brought down. Such a shame for them to go to waste.

Nice wood, nice video. However, I'd suggest that the reason folks want quarter sawn is not that quarter sawn is stronger or anything, (it isn't) but that it is more dimensionally stable. That is, it doesn't cup or warp as easily as flat sawn, AND it doesn't shrink and expand as much as flat sawn. Of course the figure is usually much nicer too. But, as you said, it is much more labor to quarter saw wood. Besides flat sawn, of course there is Rift sawn, usually even more expensive. Normally in quarter sawing, (at least in the method you are doing) one cuts the bottom board as you had it laying once quartered, then flip it to the other flat, and cut that one, then back to the original flat and so on. You would get more quarter sawn boards and total Bd ft, doing it that way.

I think I'm in love, I came from 4 generations of loggers, my Pa and Ma started with a team of mules, cut the lumber by hand until Pa got his first sawmill, then bought another after which he opened his own lumber company and started building house's, subdivisions on his farm.

I am hoping that in the future you are able to visit and film the wood you've processed in it's final application. Would make for a neat series of videos.

All these years I never knew why it was called quarter-sawn. Thanks. Subscribed.

Love watching you Em! So beautiful, smart and hardworking! God bless

I'm so blessed to see a young lady who is not only very educated in her field but seems to be a very good person as well. My son is 30 years old and seems to only meet women who are apsolute train wrecks with a lot of baggage. Trying to appeal to the masses on social media is a fast track to a bitter wasted life and your proof it doesn't have to be!

99 percent of people will have no idea about quarter sawn timber. these are things joiners were taught back in the day. love the mill. nice piece of kit.

Great operation there. Very good explanation of your goals. You know your stuff. I don’t know much about milling. My son-in-law makes good things from the boards he cuts from logs. I cut firewood and make spoons, spatulas, and some Kuksas. Thanks and take care.

wo girl! You really know your sstuff! You knew exactly what was what and I like the innovative quarter saw technique that puts out the 90 degree boards , sawn as flat sawn, but was all quarter boards;this eliminated wasted movements!

Love those Wood Mizer lumber mills. They're expensive, but if you're doing it all day every day they last up pretty well.

I didn't think I'd be learning about quarter sawing today, but you beauty drew me in. Informative and nice to see you ;)

Thanks. I have sycamore to cut this week. This was an inspiration. You did not say much (or show) the beautiful grain that is in quarter sawn sycamore. It is almost like lacewood.

This is such a cool video! Great job of explaining how you go about processing that big log, Emerald!👍

I love the beauty of quarter sawn lumber. I have done a lot of wood working over the years and have a lot respect for the milling process, great video.

We have huge sycamore here in Brooklyn, but they belong to New York City Parks Department.

Thanks Em! Quarter-sawn is also great for electric guitar necks.

Okay, ladies, you blew me away with your expertise. I learned more here in your one video than I did in my wood shop class in high school eons ago! Nice job! Thank you for teaching me!

Very interesting video. In the UK sycamore was used for dairy utensils as it does not absorb the milk and it was easy to clean. Well done Em and Jade.

Super interesting video today. And I was thinking it before you mentioned it....the end looked bigger than the start.

Emerald another superb job video, keep up the great work, and give us a big smile

I've spent a bit of time helping out people with small.mills and never really understood 1/4 sawing until I saw this. Thanks.

Great video. I enjoyed that. Thanks!

Bloody awesome ladies

So happy for you. Big logs are awesome.

Great job , you ladies amaze me be safe

I think this might be a new favorite channel.

Nice Quarter sawing job girls keep up the good work.

what a cool girl! keep cuttin' them logs sister! seems like a fun job

Bought some Sycamore unfinished milled flooring from a local lumber yard my brother in law works for. Took my time finishing it after I installed it. Came out really nice, looks similar to white maple.

Excellent informative video which I enjoyed watching 👍😁😁😁😁🚜🇬🇧
