- Secrets and theory of Quartersawing in Episode 1 from a professional Sawyer.
Welcome to Hobby Hardwood Alabama - a real, professional sawmill lumber production business, ranked by a national website as producing the highest quality wood in Alabama. We started with a chainsaw mill, upgraded to a portable manaul sawmill, then a production bandsaw mill. We are not a video company, but we are a real lumber company, and want to show others some of our money making and business sawmill techniques. We are not a video company, but we are a real lumber company, and want to show others some of our money making and business sawmill techniques. This video is another example of sawmilling for our business, Hobby Hardwood, Alabama. We show how we mill logs, dry them and other things on our outdoor farm. We use our amazing fleet of hardware and tools, such as our custom New Holland Tractor, Wood-Mizer LT-70 sawmill, as well as our Cantek planers, Baker edgers, and SLR machines in action, operation, milling and while sawing logs to lumber. The Woodmizer LT Super 70 sawmill is the the biggest, fasted and most automatic bandsaw mill Woodmizer makes, with joystick control and Diesel engine. Very few sawmills are this fast, including Baker, Morgan, Harbor Freight, Cooks, Northern, Timber King, Norwood, Woodland, chainsaw mill, and Hudson. It’s not an Amish Sawmill, but the fastest and most modern band mill Wood-Mizer makes and produces the best lumber wood for wood working projects and our lumber business. We also showcase our Nyle Kilns and air drying lumber techniques. Lots of tips and tricks to make sawing and drying easier for beginners and professional woodworkers to keep our sawmill turning trees and logs into gold instead of firewood. My buddy, Nathan Elliot, of Out of the Woods Sawmill, OTW, convinced me I needed to start filming our operation, so here goes. Someday I want to have as many followers as other sawmill videos on CZcams, like Nathan and Outdoors With the Morgans. We show how to make money with your sawmill and pass on our how-to tips and tricks for better sawmilling. Watch us use our sawmill, chainsaw mill, band saw, and bandsaw, compact track loader and other Kubota and New Holland excavators.

Joe Maine (229) 563-1172 makes my bands for me, using WM Turbo Silvertip stock, 0.055" x 1.5". He is in Georgia but can ship anywhere. The best I have used.

Really looking forward to watching you make some quarter sawn boards! Keep up the great videos! I love your common sense approach to milling lumber.👍🏻
Thank you very much!
Looking forward to part two. If possible can you show the pith location on the far side.
I'll do what I can, it depends on the quality of the shot from that angle.
This was a great video! Thank you Robert
Glad you liked it!
You and I are both old enough to remember a Crayola crayon color called 'Skin'. That won't fly today. Lol. Looking forward to part 2.
Skin only lasted a few years long ago, right?
I was wondering who else remembers the Crayola 64 pack.
Looking forward to part 2!
It's in the works.
Good video really nice job showing how to do it. Take care be safe and well.
Thanks, you too!
Thank you Mr.Robert.
Thanks for watching!
Another instructive video. Thanks Robert!
You are very welcome
Very good explanation, thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
great videos
Thanks!
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it
Good video Robert. Waiting for the next step.

Coming soon
I saw a shirt that says, "I do not have the time.. or the crayons to explain this to you right now".
I love that !
Thank you so much for teaching us about the techniques you use. I've never quarter sawn before, but I'm very eager to try my hand at it. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!😊
Thanks, give it a try, it's actually quite simple once you understand the goal, and not get too wrapped up in any one specific technique.
5:00 ❤ chip is a HANDSOME LITTLE FELLA!!!
Yes, he is the eye candy of our whole operation.
You are a treasure and an inspiration. I would love to have a log clamp like yours to maximize my ability to cut quartersawn wood but alas I don't buy green bananas anymore.
Thanks!
I've said this before. Once I get a minute to travel North from Ashland to see you, I'm coming to buy a little wood and would love to be able to just wander around your worksite.
Sounds great!
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks!
Question about using the crack for alignment. The crack would indicate stress. Wouldn't I end up with a bowed board?
Yes and no....let me explain...As a general rule, QSawing should always follow the radial cracks, and will produce a flat board where other techniques will yield warped or bowed ones. However, you are correct that in this log, such a highly stressed one, will potentially bow badly. However, the beauty of QS or vertical grain wood is that stress in that face direction is greatly minimized once the board is "released" from the cant and that plus proper drying will hopefully minimize the face stresses to a minimum. QSawing yields flat boards where other sawing patterns will yield garbage, and is why Vertical Grain Sawing (VGS) can be so useful. There is a potential that board and others will bow firm such a highly stressed log, but I'm betting it won't be significant after drying, and the boards did not show much stress when I was sawing. I hope the video I'm working on Part 2 will bear that out, I'll do some zoom closeups. It was the unusual nature off this log that made me want to film it, I don't script these videos, I just look for problematic logs and see what develops. As you noticed, this one looked like a tiger before sawing, (that's why I chose it) but was fairly mild and anticlimactic once I started hacking it up. Great comment, and thanks for watching and commenting.
What species of log is that ?
These are red oak.
How many companies actually takes the time to do it the correct way?
Very few. They "push the grade" and shove marginal wood down the customer's throat and their favorite saying is "The wood will do what the wood will do." I've heard it a million times.

And if smart you can make the wood do what you want it to.
I struggle to understand how you get quality logs from Pizza slices
Just watch a few more of our videos, it'll become more clear. We produce and sell the finest grade hardwood in the state of Alabama, and most of the country, from what I've seen. Thanks for watching!
If I remember correctly, quarter sawn is more expensive because there is more waste?
It's worth a lot more money, 50% or so. The waste increase is 15% over conventional flat sawing.
More waste and more handling of the cant.
@jerryedmonds79 also there's less of it.
