The new view masks the beauty of the lumber ... my opinion

Does your laser identify waste boards or monitor sizes?

Question , how the heck do you calculate the size , quantity and quality of lumber that you can get from a log?

We don't cut beech anymore sawmills only pay 15 cents a foot for it so it's left in the woods
@nicholasblohowiak29Күн бұрын
It crazy how much slower you’re running that beech through the saw. Besides the fact that beech is hard and super dense. Up here in the upper peninsula of Michigan. We come across lots of beech. Me and my son cut firewood for numerous people in the fall. And the majority of it is beech, ash, hard and soft maple, ironwood, and oak.

It makes great firewood! And ya it’s quite a bit harder than poplar

I'm curious as to whether or not you have beech bark disease and beech leaf disease down that way. It is killing our beech up here in Maine. The District has a propagation program where we go find clear legacy trees and clone them for planting back into the forest. It is the only mast tree that we have in northern Maine and the black bears rely heavily on the beech nuts.

I like how you explain why you make your cuts . I would like to see a bit more of the far side so we can see the log when you turn it and see the lasers on the log . But otherwise it is the best Sawmill channel I have seen so far . 🤗

Good video 👍 I love beech for firewood, when seasoned well it burns hot and burns down to a fine white ash. Makes good durable flooring, but there is a lot of waste working around the natural defects.

There are pro's and con's to either view, the normal one the camera is on a more even plain with the log thus giving a much better view of the grain of the wood and being higher up gives a better view of the edging saw and you but pretty much wash's out the log.

They go to a pallet mill and a ripped into smaller boards called stringers to make pallets or skids

What is your split to get 3 cants. I can be anywhere between 11 3/8 and 11 1/4 but our cants go right into a gangsaw so as long as they aren’t more than 3 3/4 Plaining down to 3 1/2 is no problem But 3 5/8 is perfect …the last one on the bunks is sometimes a little heavy

These logs have just sat a while and have started to stain because of the heat outside. And they don’t care for it, however they just dye it. It shouldn’t affect this grade. The stain wasn’t that bad

Or maybe we’re talking about something different. There was a gray hue of color on the ends of the logs. That’s the stain I’m referring to. If you’re speaking about the blue color, that just appears in poplar all the time!
