    I own a custom-made accordeon manufactured by a traditional craftsman in Louisiana in mulberry wood. He had made one for me before in walnut (beautiful) and when he was making this one, he suggested mulberry and this creamy color is exactly what I got. This craftsman retired and passed the business on to his grandson but a fire destroyed their workshop and all their stock of wood, metal components, and tooling was destroyed. Another of his grandsons is a good friend of mine and he's asked me to return his grandfather's accordeon to him when I'm ready - the arthritis in my hands has gotten so bad that I'm going to have to let it go and while I"ll be sad, I know it's going back to the place that it needs to be.
    It is beautiful wood and the sound from that accordeon just rings out. I was thrilled to see how mulberry mills out -- it sort of completes the circle for me about knowing such lovely wood and touches the heart of an old man. Thank for a special video.

    One thing I really like about and why I subscribed to your channel is the beautiful low key guitar music you play in the background.
    I Can't stand it when other channels blast music at you while you're trying to enjoy the work they are doing.
    Myself, I love the smell of fresh cut lumber you'll especially encounter at a site of a house being built.
    So I don't think it odd you do as well.
    You can actually tell a lot about wood from the way it smells I was told by my now deceased Step-Father who was a retired Master Carpenter.
    He was originally from Maine backwoods growing up and most of his career.
    The entire interior of his house was done in knotty pine with a semi-gloss varnish he made himself.
    The varnish so the color of the wood wouldn't darken from air born particles from cooking and baking in his gas stove and fire place plus other particulates.
    Plus it helped reflect light in a room.
    Of course this is another fascinating episode from a Master Miller.

    @CombatDoc54 Před 2 lety +15

    First off, I want to say, "nice video" and second, I never knew Mulberry got so big. I really liked the color right after your first cut. It reminded me of Poplar. I have had some Poplar that was what I thought to be some of the most beautiful wood. It had that light to dark greenish yellow with layers of light to dark to almost black purple. It all had a very low sap content, very easy to dry. I wish people had a better appreciation for wood, they take it too much for granted. A tree is a replenishable gift that God gave us if we don't take advantage of it. Over the last 50 years, I have built everything from headboards and foot boards for beds, side stands, bedside stands, coffee tables. In 50 years, I have only used two kinds of wood. Oak and Poplar. I have cringed at the thought of people painting any of them, but I know they have. If people want to paint wood, then they should choose a different medium such as Pine. Pine is a lot more plentiful. I would rather use a beautiful wood and preserve it so people can see the true beauty of it's growth. The lines in the grain of wood are much like the lines in an old man's wrinkled face. Each line tells a story, each line is a year of experience, a story of survival. Then, one day, the lines stop appearing just as when the old man dies. That is the day, that new sprouts will appear and a new life begins to start the cycle over again.

I totally understand today how peaceful it was to "get out of town" & go to the woods. I can remember Dad taking me with him to "walk the timberline" & get an idea of where to start. I remember the 2 - 3 big mules they used to pull the timber out when they couldn't get the other equipment in the woods to drag / haul it out to take to the sawmill.

      I have turned both mulberry and Osage orange and like you say, they will over time change to an old copper penny look. Wood finishes, especially oil polyurethane, slow the change but the change is inevitable. If I recall correctly, the change is due to oxidation and will even happen in the dark, but light does speed up the process. I am in Arizona and mesquite changes as well, turning from a light purple brown to a dark rust red brown. Desert ironwood also changes from a bright gold to an extremely dark brown black. I have turned Cherry and it darkens too.

    I have worked with this wood for several years now. I love it. I too like you Nathan have smelt it and it does have a diferent scent. Over time it will turn a golden brown color, but if you clear coat the piece of wood while it is still the yellowish color as seen in the video you can keep that color. I have several burl pieces that came off the tree in my front yard.
    Beautiful stuff and fun to work with.

      The property was going to be turned into a Trailer development.....
      I was warned if there was metal In them, nails, screws or laundry line wire or hardware the damage to the Blade it might consume the value of the log.
      I'm seeing lots of Mills like this.
      Do you know if;
      1) with today's blade can they handle metals, not in abundance? (I am not talking about making planks out of A36 ASTM bar stock.)
      2) is it possible to make a living from a Saw.?

      Mulberry does not hold that yellow color for very long, it oxidizes into a brown very quickly, need to use an airtight sealant to keep the yellow color. Most sealants are not airtight as much as watertight. Mulberry also has a very distinctive smell, I know it well... I have cut and split probably 30 or 40 cords of just mulberry into firewood in my life so far, burning it as firewood also produces a nice aroma.

He had some Mulberry this big that came out of a farm home backyard that he thought was at least 140 years old. He sawed it into gun stock blanks and wanted some serious money for them. They were insanely beautiful.

    Several years ago I had a big mulberry in my yard, it was damaged really bad in a storm. It had to be removed. The tree was around 36" at the stump with a large root base. I cut the remainder of the stump as close to the ground as possible. The piece I cut was about 5 inches thick. I gave the piece to a friend of mine that done alot of wood working. He made a table out it that was absolutely beautiful. Wish I would have kept it for myself.
