The mountains and hills in the background are beautiful , my favorite time of year .
I've spent a bit of time helping out people with small.mills and never really understood 1/4 sawing until I saw this. Thanks.
You sister Jade. Is doing
A great Job of filming
Your Vidieos. You Guys
Have came a long way on
You Tube. Keep up the
Great work
Alright...I learned from you again today. Nothing like getting schooled by a young one. At least you're easy on the eyes. You and Jade are lumber one in my books. Lol! Thanks for the video Em!
You never know when you are going to learn something new. Thanks.
I learn something new every day watching you guys---thank you!!
quarter sawn oak and maple is really beautiful!
I did not know that Sycamore was good for furniture. I have never seen a piece made from it. Good stuff
Beautiful milling guys! Thanks so much for sharing. Blessings!
Nice Job Emerald and Jade. Awesome tutorial on Quarter Sawing!!
"Log!" I am your logger. (Star Wars) Nice work where the sawyer gets very up close with the wood.
The whole purpose of milling quarter sawn lumber is to highlight the medullary rays in woods like sycamore and white oak. If I had been cutting those logs, I would have taken a slab on either side of the pith first and then cut the other parts into quarter sections. One thing about sycamore is that it has an extremely high water content, which is why it is so heavy when green, and very light when dry. I would consider it too soft for flooring.
Good job, as per usual. Lumber Cap. is rockin' 🤘👍☺️
Once again, the dynamic duo handles that big log easily with ease milling it into 4. I don't think there is anything the dynamic duo can't do. Another great vid Emerald and Jade.
Yeah she really handles wood the proper way
Love watching you Em! So beautiful, smart and hardworking! God bless
Great Job ladies! That quarter sawn lumber really makes some beautiful projects! Thanks for sharing your day with us, an have a great night!
When this notification came in I was glued to the story by Buckn' Billy Ray titled The Day I Almost Died In The Bush. Wood is good. It's been good to me. Thanks for your channel. 🌄
Great job Emerald! 👏 👍 👌
Thanks!
Didn't know any good use of Sycamore wood! Learned something new! Thanks! 😊 You taught me!
You are both becoming more valuable to the operation every day. Wear it with pride.
Awesome video and family ❤👍🏼🇺🇸❤️🌹
I love watching your content. I always learn. And i like your style. You keep it real.
Great fall colors on the hill across the road,
I used to make Cigar Humidors from quarter sawn “snakeskin” sycamore. You can’t cheat the process of quartering lumber. Unfortunately because you’re running a horizontal mill you have to cut from the bottom. However a vertical turndown mill cuts on the side and for the most part away from dogs etc. The safest way on a bandsaw is to have a 2X board always on the deck and pevee the log after each cut. Great video ❤
One of the best explanation/demos of the quarter sawn process i have seen. Thanks!
Your hair looks amazing,your matching with fall Mountain side. Never saw sycamore lumber,thanks for opening my eyes
The view of the hill and its colours are amazing. The content of the vid is also great!
What an absolutely gorgeous teacher
You’re a very intelligent in wood wisdom. You’re a very dynamic individual. Bravo 🙌
I'm impressed. Didn't know how this was done. Thanks for showing
Great overview of quater-sawn lumber. Nice job. Thanks for sharing.
Great video. I enjoyed that. Thanks!
Nice work and info! I appreciate your talking about safety as well. Safety first! 😊
Bloody awesome ladies
Emerald, thank you for the nice explanation of quarter sawn! Nice work ladies and the finished stack looks productive, too. There will be a happy customer.
Always enjoy you and your videos, good to see you handling those big ole logs , where's Jade lol😎🤙
I'm a 70 year old man worked in the furniture for 37 years. You are so correct on everything. I'm so glad to see people still learning. You need to put that hair into a honeytail. Maybe 10 of them. I don't know. Don't be unsafe.
Totally agree - if machinery caught that beautiful hair…
Hello everyone outstanding as always fresh cut logs I can’t stay away the smell is unbelievable
I clicked on this to learn a little more, but she took my attention completely.
There needs to be more woman like this in this world! Very impressed by the knowledge and skills. Cheers from texas
Very interesting video Emerald, it would be neat to see the wood after final milling,
Soothing, entertaining, calming, Informative, NO drama. Love you girls. I think I'm hooked. Had to watch twice.
Sycamore trees give off a nice smell, one of the many things to enjoy while drivimg down through Sinnemahoning. That is an impressive amount of lumber. Nice work Girls!
Seeing that machine working, I almost expected it to make you a coffee! So impressive how little waste was involved. Great work.
Very relaxing seeing lumber handled so swiftly.
Hi from Deep South Texas. Looking so lovely Emerald❤
I think this might be a new favorite channel.
I really like your saw. A local mill has an old lt40 super (electric). It has been extensively modified over the years. The sawyer can really put out the volume of wood. He saws almost exclusively black walnut. I have a simply manually operated home built machine. It works fine for my application and I also didn't have to spend the big bucks to buy it. I use it for building maintenance purposes. I have a hardwood framed building. I want to keep all of the wood hardwood if possible. I enjoy watching your milling videos. I always learn something new watching them.
This is such a cool video! Great job of explaining how you go about processing that big log, Emerald!👍
Excellent video. Woodmizer has sure come a long way.
I have an oak pitcher table I found in my great grandparents house 50 years ago that I rebuilt about 15 years ago. The wood is quarter sawn and I love the way it looks! It sits by my front door to catch purses and helmets.
I was a logger in SC for a few years. Cottonwood and Sycamore were the only species the mills did not want logs cut from. We put any that would fit into our chipper for making paper (20” and under). The rest we cut to lengths for RR ties. I never understand why cuz the sycamore seemed like such a pretty wood.
An Unappreciated species, for sure, fantastic ray patterns. We used to market sycamore timber for flooring (40 yes ago) and it made the heaviest logs I have ever seen coming out of the East Texas woods.
Sycamore is not a species I usually see marketed for flooring, but I think it used find use as railroad ties due to being so tough and fibrous. Today, I believe paper pulp and fire wood are it's main use, though often the trees are large, rotten and grow in bottoms which are not often harvested. It's nice to see something like floors being made from it.
nightmare to split!! not great firewood but looks great quartersawn!
Hi, I'm just now seeing you for THE '1'st time. and wow I say you are, you've given me a whole new attitude about wood working w/these ole callus hands.
You're sawyering skills are showing!
You all are great! Know your business. The “Boss” and your Mom are very special and must be very proud of each of you. Phil
the best explanation of quartersawn and rift-cut that i have seen..thanks
I have always wanted to see what Sycamore would look like especially quarter sawn, great video Emerald.
I'm a retired cabinetmaker (35 years in the industry) and love it when you cut up hardwood. 1\4 cut lumber is definitely lovely and at times the extra strength is a tremendous benefit.
Very interesting video. In the UK sycamore was used for dairy utensils as it does not absorb the milk and it was easy to clean. Well done Em and Jade.
Quartersawn sycamore is one of my favorite woods for knife scales. It makes very distinctive grain patterns. The color of the heartwood pieces is awesome with just a boiled linseed oil finish. Now get busy and cut me some more.
I love the beauty of quarter sawn lumber. I have done a lot of wood working over the years and have a lot respect for the milling process, great video.
Very informative video I must of missed this one glad I caught it 🎉🤙🤙🤙😎 , Always enjoy ‘em see you next vid. Luv y’all
Wow that red head is really sweet and runs a lumber yard
AIN'T IT JUST AIN'T IT 😎 lols Like digging a Hole always more dirt than Hole..... Sycamore... Purdy.
I'm so blessed to see a young lady who is not only very educated in her field but seems to be a very good person as well. My son is 30 years old and seems to only meet women who are apsolute train wrecks with a lot of baggage. Trying to appeal to the masses on social media is a fast track to a bitter wasted life and your proof it doesn't have to be!
Another amazing video of the two hardworking ladies, great video
I really enjoyed your video. You guys are doing a great job and I hope my daughter, and son, have the interest in working with me. I believe that is the part about your video's that I enjoy the most. Great job. Keep it up.
I planted a sycamore by my shop in Eastern Ontario this summer, well north of its range, so I was delighted to see one quarter sawn. It looks like good wood.
Here in the states down south I love sycamore its a beautiful tree with fantastic leaves that cool ya by the creek in the summer heat 😎 but it's a hated wood for the most of it. None to twist warp bow all the bad stuff but I have heard that it gives a nice ray effect when quarter sawn.. I have a few I think im gonna mill one see for myself...
It's good to see a kind face! Thanks for sharing! ☺️🌎💖☀️
All these years I never knew why it was called quarter-sawn. Thanks. Subscribed.
Great job , you ladies amaze me be safe
jade will get it done
Best how to quarter saw video i have seen.
Thanks, I didn't know what quarter sawing was and now I do. Plus I'm thinking qut means quarter. Once again thanks.
Peace and Ahev
Okay, ladies, you blew me away with your expertise. I learned more here in your one video than I did in my wood shop class in high school eons ago! Nice job! Thank you for teaching me!
Holy crap dude… that landscape is ridiculously beautiful! I’m from FL which is the flattest state, I’ve never even seen a mountain like that, much less something so colorful and gorgeous.
Dude… I need to travel the states a bit. Sheesh. Florida is a boring swamp compared to places like that!
Nice Quarter sawing job girls keep up the good work.
Two redheads. Just outstanding
You ladies are awesome, I didn't know a thing about 1/4 sawn logs at the beginning and learned a ton from this video, thank yall for making it. Will definitely come back to learn more. Totally awesome.
You almost needed a bigger Cant Hook!!!! That baby kept Slipping off!!!😁😉😎🤗😇. Skids/ Pallets are made out of Sycamore!!!! Sycamore is real stringy/ grainy and hard to Spilt!!! Harder to Climb to, its outside surface is real slick!!! Where i grew up those trees were all over the place especially near a river Basin!!!! One tree in particular was Gigantic about 6 and a half feet in Diameter, ( Straight through). Sycamore also has big leaves and Seedy tightly Packed Balls on them, hooked on near the Leafs. Those Balls fall apart after they dry out, and little tiny seeds with Parachute streamers will Float all over the Place!!!
This is the first video of yours I've seen. I think I'm hooked.
If you are nervous about hitting table , place a piece of straight scrap under log to raise your quarter sawn above bed.
As always great video
I wish my kids had your work ethic.👍
CZcams is amazing! From advanced fractions in calculus to quarter sawing now. How did it know i needed to know this for my calculis test!
All my Martin guitar tops are quarter sawn spruce.
That stack of lumber looked bigger than the log to me as well! Nice looking stuff.
Hi Em. How are ya? Sycamore is a pretty wood.
The way I quarter saw is a lil different. I level the pith then cut slightly above it pull off the top half, cut through the pith the thickness I want. Each side of the pith is quarter sawn. Now I have 2 almost halves. I put them together and cut through the middle now have 4 quarters. Now I put a 2inch board down start cutting off the bottom of the quarters. The quarter sawn boards slowly shrink in width but are quarter sawn. The last couple are rift sawn still look good when seen from the side. Thanks as always for sharing. God bless you and the family.
You nailed it!
what a cool girl! keep cuttin' them logs sister! seems like a fun job
CADA VIDEO ES UNA NUEVA CLASE DE "COMO HACER LAS COSAS BIEN" ,GRACIAS POR SU GENEROSA VOLUNTAD DE ENSEÑAR - EACH VIDEO IS A NEW CLASS OF 'HOW TO DO THINGS RIGHT', THANK YOU FOR YOUR GENEROUS WILLINGNESS TO TEACH
I didn't think I'd be learning about quarter sawing today, but you beauty drew me in. Informative and nice to see you ;)
So happy for you. Big logs are awesome.
I think I'm in love, I came from 4 generations of loggers, my Pa and Ma started with a team of mules, cut the lumber by hand until Pa got his first sawmill, then bought another after which he opened his own lumber company and started building house's, subdivisions on his farm.
did a house that was all done in quarter sawn white oak, was a beautiful project once we finished...they had entire rooms with panel systems with dime joints for the walls, t&G ceilings with beams, the whole nine yards... probably wont ever get a chance to do a house like ever again...the material alone before milling and finishing was well over a million dollars...
As usual well done. One thought as far as milling goes is to use a thinner narrower board underneath the top log as buffer or sacrifice board. You never cut it but it would allow you more room off of the mill. You are right as the mill is VERY close to the bed. Best to not have it "wonky"! 🙂👍
Great operation there. Very good explanation of your goals. You know your stuff. I don’t know much about milling. My son-in-law makes good things from the boards he cuts from logs. I cut firewood and make spoons, spatulas, and some Kuksas. Thanks and take care.
99 percent of people will have no idea about quarter sawn timber. these are things joiners were taught back in the day. love the mill. nice piece of kit.
Thanks Em!
Quarter-sawn is also great for electric guitar necks.
