That is one huge apple tree. I assume you sell the waste wood for firewood, or in the case of apple or other aromatics, you make it available [or sell] to interested parties? That is some beautiful slabs you are cutting.

My dad was a wood carver years ago . I turned butter molds out of apple very dense grain .Dad carved cows and mules out of apple .I guess his favorite wood was butternut.He was the resident carver for John Cambell Folks School. Brasstown ,N.C. He passed in the early 80's. I'm the youngest of our family and in my late 60's.I have a 26 inch manul band mill. I only cut for myself. I enjoy your sawmilling. My brother had a automated Mizer I taught him how to mill.Keep up the good vidoes.I live on the Ga.-N.C. line.

I graded for 25 years .. I still do. can't see wood casually. ha..ha.. Butternut was my favorite.. Never got tired of seeimg it...every one has their favorite... I got roped into grading lots of walnut..rules are very different for it. Knots dry and won't fall out. They are part of the character of walnut.. Good video We steamed the walnut. The sap wood turned the same color as the heartwood. I once slipped in about 300 hundred feet of good ash in with the walnut. Alternate layers.. 4 quarter. The walnut stain went completely thru the ash. Was beatiful. A cabinet maker bought all the walnut stained ash. Some woman has a set of very unique cabinets. Cherry steams well too. Dyes the sap wood.

When I was a child we had an apple tree in our back garden and my mother used to graft 'twigs' from different varieties on to it. She grafted so many I could reach out of my bedroom window and choose what sort of apple I wanted to eat from sixteen (I kid you not) varieties all on the one tree. She would prune the tree every year and we'd burn the offcuts as firewood - it scented the whole house; I could smell it with every cut you made. Mmmmmm.

Another great use for apple wood is on your grill! Dried chunks set to smoke are great on pork, fowl and fish. On a gas grill a cast iron smoker box works well and wet chunks on charcoal (just soak 'em for the time it takes to get your charcoal ready to cook, then toss them on the hot coals).

I grew up in northern Indiana and I could show you some 100+ year old apple trees that are almost 3-4 ft in width and the branches that can be about 2 ft, so apple trees can get very big. I love the way apple wood smells when it's being cut/burned and maybe I'm crazy but every cut you made had my whole kitchen smelling like apples, beautiful stuff.

Book matched pieces 2"x 7" x 1/2" are desired. Check out some of the knife scale sites. The are also used for grip scales on handguns, which are now almost all plastic from the factory. Good Luck.

To remove the horns and a bit of belly, you can run the saw to where that low spot is and lower the blade until it touches. Check the depth index. Add the additional first cut to that measurement and move the saw back to the start and start your cut. No guessing needed.

@@OutoftheWoods0623 In your narration, you said you are getting good at making a judgement call. That is nothing more than an educated or experienced guess. "flip it over and sometimes get to make two cuts sometimes you'll come down and take just a little bit off these horns as you won't take off a whole lot especially the 12-inch log and then you'll come back again and make your cut to get rid this material in the middle but if you're done it's enough like I have usually one cut would get you there you just make the right judgment call and come in here and slice it off so" Great response. You could have said, "Thanks for the tip. I never thought of doing that. I've just relied on my experience and good eye and hoped I got it right." Some people refuse to learn.

If you know someone who cures and smokes his own meat, that apple sapwood that you would burn would make a nice flavor for smoked meat. I worked at a meat locker and we would the wood that an orchard pruned from the trees. It is best when it is green but old wood still has flavor in it.
