This Old World Sycamore is also known as Oriental Plane Tree burl and is classified under the scientific name Platanus orientalis. The original growth range for this wood is from Southeast Europe to Western Asia. This is a large deciduous tree that can grow to 100 ft. or more and has a large spreading crown. Diameters of the tree can be up to 6 feet! The wood has a medium density, glues well, and has good working properties. This salvaged tree was from an urban area in the USA and was removed because it was a hazard. Now it can be utilized for beautiful woodworking projects!

I've watched many of your vids on the boob tube KZfaq. You know your stuff, the wood AND the milling. You moved yourself to the 'top shelf' when you brought your daughter on when you ate that elm burl. Can't get mine to care about my milling on the lt-40. Hard to believe I named my son Tom Sawyer!! Cheers to you and your passion!

Anytime you want to give us the back story on these logs, I for one would be interested to know where they came from and how you obtained them. Great channel!

Bob, that's such a great idea! Thank you for suggesting it.

In the old days as a chaser on a landing we would take breaks under the linkbelt... while it was being operated. It was the safest place to be within his swing radius. Once in a while the operator would grab a pole with the grapples and prod us out form under there. Huffman & Wright Logging, Canyonville, Oregon.

Awesome. I love sycamore in general, I bought a mixed bundle of 5/4 x 8" and most of it was sycamore. I covered my one main wall in my wood shop with it, part of it was spotted so it was really beautiful stuff I think sycamore is just awesome. I wished when I was out west I've been close enough to stop by you guys but my wife didn't want to go there so. Love watching you mill wood and see the interesting aspects of it. 👍👍

Enjoyed your video. I never knew sycamore was in the maple family. The grain is absolutely gorgeous. Thanks for sharing this video.

Carl, we actually made a mistake with this. English Sycamore is in the Maple family but American Sycamore is not. To be a walking encyclopedia is a challenge! :)

Love this lumber and the slabs! Any chance in the future you can show the process of cutting things down even further right down to the pen blanks?

Michael, thank you so much for this suggestion. We love hearing people's ideas and what they'd like to see. We'll definitely incorporate this into a future video.

You said Maple and Sycamore trees have a hard time drying "without cracks and stuff." I could see the cracks forming but don't know what the "stuff" is. Can you give us just a brief explanation of what "stuff" is in relation to the drying process?

@CookWoods 2 жыл бұрын

Typically this would mean shrinkage, bowing, twisting, etc. Thanks Wiley! Great to hear from you.

American Sycamore aka “Platanus occidentalis” is not Maple. The European Sycamore “Acer pseudoplatanus” is a species of Maple.

Victoria, you're absolutely right. Our wood specialist had a moment where he was thinking of European Sycamore! We are so sorry for this error. Thank you for your care in pointing this out. We appreciate it so much.
