For those with no knowledge, your channel is first rate. Your narational skills are outstanding. And... your soundtracks are well, perhaps you should sell them!
Knots: There is a major difference between knots. Red knots are grown into the tree and cause little problem with strength in the sawed lumber. In black knots the tree grows around the usually dead limb, often times rotten. A black knots easily falls out and cause strength problems in the board.
Just some info on stickering lumber. Keep the stickers as close to the ends as possible. When limber splits on the end, the split generally stops when it gets to the sticker, or close to it. The farther the sticker is placed from the end, the longer the split.
I had always assumed when she was talking about "stickers" it was some indication of the quality of the wood. Like a mark or piece of paper. However, no mark or piece of paper is going to "stop a split" so I realized that I had no idea what a "sticker" was. After a little googling I now know that "stickering wood" (is that the right phrase?), literally adding sticks (not stickers), is the process of putting spacers between the pieces of wood when stacking to provide for more even airflow for drying. Why does wood have so many unique terms, weird measurements, etc?
Well done! One thing that might be helpful is to distinguish the difference between lumber and hardwood as I am familiar with "checking", which will turn into a split because of uneven drying. Checking and waning are very similar but lumber terminology may have redundant terms or overlapping definitions. Just a thought as I am a furniture designer and builder. Very good information! Thanks.
I’m a pretty new subscriber so I don’t know if you’ve e done one yet, but I like these terminology videos. Would love one on the various names you have for the wood: the part you cut off on the edger is called what, a board not yet run through the edger is called something else, etc. Enjoying it. Keep up the great work!
A part 2 would be good. Grain run out is something else to look out for. This happens when the log is sawn without leveling the pith. Having grain run out can cause tear out when planing the boards for a smooth finish.
What about certifications? I don't know about other states but in CA we can't use uncertified lumber for structural work. If the wood isn't stamped the inspector can fail the inspection.
This was an excellent instructional video! It would benefit every retail lumber person working at any of the big box stores or local, neighborhood hardware store
I would say any board that more than half the thickness has wane is unacceptable in most construction use. Usually both sides get ply/osb/drywall and need to be supported? Maybe you would have some floors over a crawl space where you can get away with more. What are the customers buying it for where they can use it with so much?
Great job on this video, I like all your videos because I learn so much. The simple defining of terms used in the industry is great. Maybe go though the marking system used on the logs; numbers and color codes? My Father worked at his Grandfather's sawmill when he was a teen back in the 30's and this is so interesting to me. I have cut my share of firewood but don't have any experience with sawmilling. I have one daughter and no sons, you young ladies are a great inspiration for other young ladies that you can do anything you want and do it as well as young men if not better! Also really like your focus on using everything possible from the trees you mill. I think you need and interview on GMA!
Some operations paint the ends of the logs before sawing. The paint keeps the open ends of the wood fibers from drying more quickly than the centers causing checking. Besides bow, boards can also cup and twist. Wood workers buy board oversize and mill them flat. Wood for construction may not be as picky about this. Quarter sawn lumber may be more desirable for fine wood working as its less likely to cup and twist and has a richer grain pattern.
I would love to see you sell a calendar each year with pictures of each of you. It is hard to tell who is whom. I would definitely buy your calendar each year.
Thanks for changing Wayne to wane.😊 I was going to correct, but you caught it in time. Keep up the good work, and loving your videos!!! Oh, and a part 2 would be great! Btw, keep those stickers directly on top of each other, and over the 4×4 bases. Keeps it all flat while drying.
Hands down this is far and away the best sawyer channel out there. The volume of information shared is as good if not better than one would get if they paid for the training. Excellent job girls and can I just comment real quickly on quality of the video as it relates to content, editing and mixing. Excellent
Nice vidja again 😂😂. A part 2 would be great. If you want to see some cracked and bowed and knotted lumber go to Lowe's. Y'all take care and have a blessed week and I'll see you on your next vidja
As a woodworker, I can appreciate the information regarding the process of milling the lumber that is used in my vocation. Thanks for the inside look into the business. As a musician, however, it would only be fair for you to list credits of the musicians that create the music that is played in your videos. These people put in the same dedication and time into their craft as much as anyone else so please give credit where credit is due.
Love all the topics. Many lumberyards do not use the same quality standards you all do. Even s4s boards I sometimes buy are bowed And bananaed. Is that a word?
Good job and what is your name Miss i cant seem to remember. that's a nice mill I have a woodland mills hm130 max manual mill im cutting pine and fir mostly.
On this land there is almost 100,000 bf of mature white pine. There is also several thousand board feet of hardwood. The problem is if we got a mill there are nine children and their parents. The oldest a 15 year old will need help. I am 70 and not.much help other than advice. You need a committed operator. We need Em.
Proverbs 13:4 The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing: but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat. Keep up the hard and diligent work girls it'll pay off one day. Im impressed and proud of you. My hats off to your mom and dad for their great example to you.
Usually it’s just the color of the paint used to mark the length or scale of the log. Sometimes log buyers mark them in specific colors for different species also. After they are debarked or in a huge pile it’s difficult to tell.
What’s it like seeing your video uploaded like 3 weeks ago have over 100k views!? That’s so cool I found your channel when your videos had max 500 views
The first thing I look for when buying lumber? If there is a pretty redhead selling lumber then I get interested real quick , even if I don't need any lumber.

Thank-you for explaining wood 101. Good job .Love the short presentations.I watch every day. Grampa in Alberta.

Enjoying it. Keep up the great work!
Great job, enjoying your show.
Your brother is not a weirdo. I relate. He will do good.
A part 2 would be good. Grain run out is something else to look out for. This happens when the log is sawn without leveling the pith. Having grain run out can cause tear out when planing the boards for a smooth finish.
If you do a part 2, could you cover “Crowning”?
What about certifications? I don't know about other states but in CA we can't use uncertified lumber for structural work. If the wood isn't stamped the inspector can fail the inspection.
Yes please on part 2 and much much more and thank you maam
Please keep making them because I'm getting reeducation on the the lumber and cutting trees seeing where I can not do it anymore

You forgot inwind. A bow & twist natural to the way the tree grew.
This channel is going to blow up glad I got here when I did!
The Boss Lady seems to spend her day walking back and forth talking on the phone.
Hard working and knowledgeable, perfect ingredients for success. It’s so nice to see a family business seceding and growing.
Thanks for changing Wayne to wane.😊 I was going to correct, but you caught it in time. Keep up the good work, and loving your videos!!! Oh, and a part 2 would be great! Btw, keep those stickers directly on top of each other, and over the 4×4 bases. Keeps it all flat while drying.
Very good information, well presented and easily understood. Articulate presentation
Good job
Good info and video as usual. Keep up the good work. Always enjoy your input. Would like to see a vid on quarter sawing some day. Thanks
Great job explaining everything. Yes a part 2 would be very interesting as well. Keep up the great videos
Yo, yes, please do a Part 2.
Hands down this is far and away the best sawyer channel out there. The volume of information shared is as good if not better than one would get if they paid for the training. Excellent job girls and can I just comment real quickly on quality of the video as it relates to content, editing and mixing. Excellent
I'd agree. Woodmizer LT40 manual owner here since 1991 with over a million board feet cut.
You are just saying that because of the pretty girls in the clip.
This was informative; yes I would like to see a part II video. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for the information.“Knowledge is when you learn something new every day ,Wisdom is when you let something go every day.”
Nice vidja again 😂😂. A part 2 would be great. If you want to see some cracked and bowed and knotted lumber go to Lowe's. Y'all take care and have a blessed week and I'll see you on your next vidja
I almost mentioned something about Lowe’s crappie lumber but decided that a lot of people probably like their lumber 🤣
@@lumbercapitallogyard Gotta search through a whole stack just to find one good piece 😂😂. I'd rather go to a mill and get mine.
If I was going to build a boat, I would go to Lowes. The timber is already preformed for the hull. 😄
@@Mike--K You got that right 😂😂
I trust U don't use plastic banding material!!! I hated that stuff back in my lumber yard career!!!
You could expand this by talking about moisture content and where and when greener vs. thoroughly dried lumber is an appropriate use.
I really enjoy your videos
This was a very good video, I would like to see a part two
you guys do great job always
Great job!!
looking forward to part 2
excellent. Very well made video.
Great review. Very good info. Many thanks.
As a woodworker, I can appreciate the information regarding the process of milling the lumber that is used in my vocation. Thanks for the inside look into the business.
As a musician, however, it would only be fair for you to list credits of the musicians that create the music that is played in your videos. These people put in the same dedication and time into their craft as much as anyone else so please give credit where credit is due.
Good points - thankyou.
what a beautiful voice
Part 2, please!
good job Em.
That Is An Excellent video.
Great vid ya'll.
Haha I love the end.
That was interesting Em but I forgot what you told us a while back is why you don't wear gloves.I would like to know why.
Do you add any weight to the top of your stacks to prevent bowing while drying?
Do you saw and sell any FAS wood? Is any of the wood you mill grade stamped?
Thank you!
Love all the topics. Many lumberyards do not use the same quality standards you all do. Even s4s boards I sometimes buy are bowed And bananaed. Is that a word?
Part two please.
under rot you could mention blue stain from beetle killed wood.
i would like to see a video about the felling toolbelt and it's contents.
LOL, you said Lil' Wayne.
I've always known not to trust wayne. 😂
Rot in early stages it's called "Spalted" and crafts people pay extra for Spalted wood.
Good job and what is your name Miss i cant seem to remember. that's a nice mill I have a woodland mills hm130 max manual mill im cutting pine and fir mostly.
My name is Emerald
not so many long legs in this one, guys.
Thanks
One thing to concider is do you have an operator
On this land there is almost 100,000 bf of mature white pine. There is also several thousand board feet of hardwood. The problem is if we got a mill there are nine children and their parents. The oldest a 15 year old will need help.
I am 70 and not.much help other than advice.
You need a committed operator.
We need Em.
yes to part2
Now you're educating consumers😀😀😯😉😈😈
Proverbs 13:4 The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing: but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat.
Keep up the hard and diligent work girls it'll pay off one day. Im impressed and proud of you. My hats off to your mom and dad for their great example to you.
Part 2 !;-)
What is this “ado” you keep doing without?
what do the colors mean on the ends of the boards?
Usually it’s just the color of the paint used to mark the length or scale of the log. Sometimes log buyers mark them in specific colors for different species also. After they are debarked or in a huge pile it’s difficult to tell.
Shake it off. Shake it off
Get it. Shake... 👀
Haha 😆
Shure pt 2.
Your voice and music is a bit addicting

Some people buy the boing boards with cracks , then they try to straighten it 😀😀😯😉😈😈😈
