Wow! Reminds me of the old Forested saw we had at Mariner Lumber in Brunswick Maine. This was back in the late 70's when I worked there as a teen and young man! Thank you for sharing!

Here due to seeing this in a different video as a “to watch next” cue-up…. Plus I work in the cabinet industry, so it’s pretty cool to see how the lumber is cut to the sizes in the bundles we get.

Outstanding! I'm subscribed to several sawyers and am still wondering what the fascination is watching logs turn into lumber. I'm a woodworker but deal mostly with imported exotic hardwoods. Even though I'm an old man now, (73), I'd still love to work in a sawmill! I've subscribed to your channel and am looking forward to your next video! Your narritive is also helpful! Keep up the good work!

Good video 👍 Great commentary. Since you seem to saw a lot of popular, have you looked into cutting poplar rounds for targets at these ace throwing places that have become popular? Local, to me, sawmills are getting oak prices for poplar 🤷

Honestly thought about it but not went through with it! But hey I’ll tell you a wood better for axe throwing boards! 8/4 Quaken Aspen!!! It absorbs an axe like a sponge! At least when I’m throwing😂

I worked in a sawmill in central Wisconsin and the biggest 14' board i had ever handled was 32" x 8/4.

@richardlee2488 Ай бұрын

I worked in a mill in the 1990s and we were asked to kiln dry some Brazilian mahogany. Biggest pieces were 54 inch wide and 23 foot long. No defects at all and no heart shake. 33 inch is not big for poplar, they grow to over 8 foot diameter but not many mills left big enough to mill that big. As for waste, unless you have the funds to install a band mill or linebar band resaw you are stuck with thick saws and a giant kerf.

Love the smell of fresh cut poplar..... worked the back end of a tie mill in Arkansas, love the built in edger, we had to move slabs from the conveyor to the edger table with gang saws.....we mostly cut red oak, gum, poplar and white oak when we could get it for stave mills.

Where is this? Here in New York, I can mark and tally poplar trees with "sawlogs" but, more often than not, the loggers will cut the poplar tree and leave it lay in the woods to save time for skidding maple, cherry, birch, oak, ash etc.
