My career is white collar (I design the user experiences of software and tech hardware). It's a different world. But I'm also a craftsperson. I strive to make useful and well-crafted things, and in that way, I relate 100% to these fine folks. Some people would say "Why so many videos? You've see one log, you've seen 'em all". But every log is different. Different size, different shape, different wood, different qualities of that wood, and so on. Every new log is a new challenge, and it's a joy to watch these masters at work, making the most out of what they have to work with. Thanks for posting, and please keep it up!

Catching up on some of your old videos Mark and Eddie. That walnut was so beautiful you could not have asked an artist to paint you a more perfect board face. And you are right. I can hear Nathan about this log and see the water getting tossed on it!

my Grandfther immigrated to Pittsberg PA, and 2 of my uncles worked as sawyers and maintenance in BC , Canada..as a 4yr old kid my dad scolded me to keep my hands off his portable saw- mill main circle gang saw..on the farm..when he had time in the summer he built an ice house,, smoke house, some farm buildings and lean-too off the barn for a sled and horse equipment....mom had her favorite Jersey cows, and sold the extra cream in town

I'm in the UK and Black American Walnut is the most beautiful of timbers.

That Black Walnut wood grain is really something.

I'm so proud you have a welsh flag displayed! Thank you.

That is one beautiful piece of Walnut ! My favorite wood to work with.

First KZfaq channel where I can actually smell the work going on!

That wal UT is BEAUTIFUL!!!!

I know you guys are working hard but sitting in my armchair I find your videos and voice over the most peaceful on You Tube,

I worked in a mill in North Leverett, MA in the mid-70's on the 'takeaway' side. On day our Sawyer, Bernie Jablonski, hit something in a pine log that caused a 'half-moon' to fly out of the blade. It hit Bernie flat in the back of his calf. What an imprint! It hurt like the dickens but it could have done some real damage.

Who knew the middle of a tree was so STUNNING ! The patterns of the grain are BEAUTIFUL!

Sometimes the wood grain is beautiful 😍

Absolutely Beautiful Wood

Wow! Alot of beautiful wood came off that log. I bet lots of people watching would like to get their hands on some of it, myself included. I bet even the off cuts & slivers are in high demand

I am from Malaysia, South East Asia. Like to see wood sawmill. Have a best sucess

Jesus this is a BEAUTIFUL piece of wood.

My grandfather had an excavation company. As a result he was able to obtain lots of trees. So he built a saw mill to make good use of those trees. It was steam powered. I used to get in trouble all the time for playing in the sawdust pile.

Mark said something about cold mornings. I remember making a delivery to a mill when it was -50F and only one guy got there. He was putting anti-freeze into the pneumatic lines so the equipment didn't freeze and frost shatter. That was back in the 70s.

Now I see where the value in fine wood cuts starts. I'm not a sawyer, but I'm an old guy who loves wood. Watching you take a log and manipulate it to where the most interesting grains are exposed is an art. I seriously appreciate your videos.

It really is a beautiful black walnut log

I wanted to thank you for introducing Fricknjeep and reel McCoy RiP Mike

nut trees are so aromatic and earthy smelling. a fibrous and dense I just love that about walnut and hickory. the prettiest patterns in the grain nature has to offer

It’s not to close to the building ,until it melts the plastic chairs, I enjoy your videos thanks jl

Wow! The cut at 16:25 was gorgeous! 20:10 even more! It just keeps getting better!

Greetings everyone viewing, that log would give everything for home, table and chairs, bed and my closet my kitchen cupboards, just about everything for my home, brilliant job mark,keep it up,

Beautiful markings in that American Bkack Walnut.

Hi guys! I am a new subscriber- just found your site. We bought a lot on a lake in central Ontario Canada and started cleaning it up. We noticed there was an old saw mill on the site years ago. We found a bunch of dead heads in the lake and took them out with an old pontoon boat - dragged them up on shore and tried to find what they were. They were totally water logged except for the one end sticking out of the water. You wouldn't believe what we found - a species called blue oak! We let it dry for a couple of years and had the wood milled - beautiful stuff- 15 ftlong and 12inches at the butt. Made rocking chairs, tables and other things - This wood was beautiful and HARD as a rock. Ever heard of blue oak? I sure didn't.

WOW. what a great piece of wood. Also thanks for the comments. well doe

All and all still a beautiful piece of hard wood.They are becoming scarce

Can you imagine a kitchen table made from this tree??!! The figure is amazing!!!!

Love watching you guys 😊

Great work

THAT IS THE NICEST LOG I HAVE SEEN .

Love the new Mississippi flag!

Shake rattle and roll! Love to hear that motor lug!

Lovely superb Nice sawing.

360 board feet of figured walnut----beautiful lumber!"Have a profitable year in Pennsylvania☆

Man that walnut is gorgeous even before it turns color!

What a beautiful stick of wood! Typing this just as you said it 😀

I really enjoyed this video after putting the log on the machine. I skipped the beginning talks. I just like action of the skills of your cutting. That was enjoyable and educational for me.

I have seen so many walnut logs sawing but such a huge black walnut . The fiber of this black walnut was too good.

This is Bill CULVER and one day I sawed into a musket that the tree grew around, we chiseled the musket out of the tree and the owner of the mill had it on the wall in his office. The tree came from the big horn mountains in Wyoming. It broke 66 carbide teeth not a good day.

October 2nd here in Lexington NC 53` fall is coming oh hay I'm liking your sawing 🎉🎉 Thanks cousin Eddie .

New subscriber here look at that beautiful grain black walnut has to be my favourite wood 👍🇨🇦

MANY of those would make Spectacular Grandfather clocks I saw Several images in the grain . . . _Fabulous_ piece of wood !! Hide a few away, or buy the whole thing...!!

walnut is always so nice. Even ugly logs turn out great, and at every stage it is nice to work with.

There was some beautiful wood in that log. I remember seeing big old growth walnut and chestnut back in the early 60’s that my uncle milled. There was a lot of beautiful old trees like that in Vermont where he logged. Mostly he took maple and oak for flooring, some pine for paneling and the occasional other hardwoods when he came across a good log.

Love walnut lumber , most beautiful wood to have ,

I have to say that you have some of God's most beautiful wood. I hope you have kept some for musical instruments.

the art of making square boards from round logs

How spectacular it must be to own that land and have your own sawmill on it. I life worth living. 🇺🇲🙏

I missed the name of the guy with the white beard at the end of the off bearing line. Love your work. Worked at one of the last steam powered self generating mills before it closed in Emmett Idaho. I was a fuel man in a 13 boiler powerhouse. We powered the great steam engine which turned the belt that ran the while mill. It was awesome...

What a beautiful piece of wood ! 😳.

The mill in Iowa that I worked at had the edger right after the saw so we sawed, edged, and stacked finished lumber. We had dry kilns also so we made furniture grade lumber, railroad ties, cants that we re-saved for our pallet business. We made pallets for John Deere, case ih, Alcoa,leffubre,

Black Walnut grain is beautiful.

Back when I was a young man I worked in a saw mill that was very similar to yours except it had a big Cat motor out of some kind of road building machine the owner did all the sawing and I did the rest. It was hard work especially when we were cutting railroad ties stack them all day and you know you did a full days work lol anyway watching you guys just got me reminiscing .

That IS one lovely chunk 'o wood!

This may be an older video but I really enjoyed it as I do the others. Walnut is some beautiful wood!

I’m just a novice woodworker but find these videos amazing people have no idea where lumber really gets to your retailer..

Sunlight in videos like this is always lovely and refreshing 👌👌👌

That's a stunning batch of wood. It's a pity that the pattern will become less vibrant as it darkens while drying, but it's still going to look fabulous.

Some beautiful Lumber you got out of this Majestic Old Black Walnut Log, Enjoyed watching you cut it up and losing nothing more than the saw dust, You Is The Man,

Good video , you made it where I would like to own a nice piece of Walnut...John ,England

That was something. It was such beautiful wood.

Great fire, awesome mill

A small comment about the tree that's overlooked by a lot of people. Almost all the wood in that log, was converted to wood from the carbon in the air. Nature is amazing..

that walnut, beautiful grain...would love a table top slab

woodworker/turner Beautiful walnut!

Nice sawing, and bonus commentary too, also nice.

😮 mesmerising wallnut.

First time I’ve seen one of your videos. It was fascinating. I did subscribe. It’s amazing that a grown man will sit and watch a dude cut wood for 30 minutes.

They are always talking about them. Detroits Leaking oil. I hear a guy say he had his Detroit engine rebuild and put some Chrome on it. Had it looking and took a picture of it and set it on him TV at home, made a run, and got back home and had to wipe oil off the top of his TV. Love your videos. You'll stay safe, and God bless. Dan 🇺🇸

That is one fine looking piece of walnut, if i ever did see one. Just beautiful !

hey Mark and Eddie you got put some coveralls on guys when it's cold no use shaking like a left on tree you got stay warm when it's cold omg 12 16 2021

I’m Scottish and I think your talking about Arran sweaters . Very famous , thick , chunky , with a round neck and lively patterns usually 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I'm a wood turner and as I watch I see bowls everywhere. You burn the waste and I see bowls. very cool.

Man! What a Beautiful thing!

I love the grain in that walnut. It would make a great coffee table.

Love the sweet note coming from that Detroit when the saw takes a full cut. Beautiful grain structure from that log, pleasing to the eye. Thanks for your video...

Knife handles and scales. Table, lol. The saw is awesome too I like the blade better than the ban saw type. That blade would still be around 100 years from now.

I'm seeing the Maltese flag how nice of you my friend good luck take care

That some very nice patterns in that log.

I so envious where these nice old Walnut logs are around… we have ZERO hardwood in Alberta.. maybe some elm in the cities. Beautiful grain .. walnut with some purple is my all time favourite

The customer who owns that wood is very fortunate that you operate that mill in such a proficient manner. You are like a surgeon. You literally explained everything that you did. No waste. None. I like your set up a lot and I’m learning a lot bye watching. Thank you for such a great video.
