    Stunning. I’m addicted to milling up logs to see what’s inside them. This was my first summer slabbing up logs with an Alaskan mill and did about 10-12 logs. Granted, it takes a loooong time but is rewarding when that’s your only option.

    @williampope3531 Před 8 měsíci

    Hi, Matt! Excellent placement of the log for sawing! You have a really good eye for what is going to look like inside
    I like to see you using a mask whenever sawing or sanding. My grandfather was a master carpenter in the '20s, '30s, 40's and into the early 50's. He was forced to retire about 1957 due to emphysema and died 5 years later from it at age 61. I was 7 years old and barely got to know him. His working days were before the days of safety guards on saws and other safety gear. He still had all his fingers and toes when he retired and spent a few years fixing mechanical clocks until he couldn't even do that because of that awful disease.
    You only have one body. Only YOU can do what it takes to keep it intact, functioning efficiently and as designed.

    Matt, I love your video's! Your mill is epic! I would love to accuire some wood like you produce! Impossible to find in NH. Crotch wood figure, Burl wood, curly maple, love it!
    But I like to make small, intricate boxes, hand cut dovetails, wooden hinges per Rob Cosman style. Turn bowls on the lathe, and your 2 inch slabs are sooooo beautiful, I almost cry cause cause they don't fit my type of woodworking! Mills in my area usually saw 5/4. That works for my boxes, as I can resaw. But Large turning stock of figured wood is non-existent!

    If I lived anywhere within driving distance, I would be right over with a trailer to buy the one slab I fell in love with. Would settle for just the top section to make a curved front office desk that would be absolutely fantastic. Oh, well. Bet he decides to keep that one anyway. That whole log is a true treasure chest of walnut wood. Drool, drool. Sigh. Good water action there too.

    Question: on the slab you gave measurements on, how do you translate that to board feet? The log is roughly the same width for the majority of it and then flares out? I cannot quite figure the board feet formula for slabs.

  • @barryirby8609
    @barryirby8609 Před 8 měsíci

    Wonderful wood and sawing. (At about 10:27 the insert says 1 3/4" = 3 1/4" thick, I think you meant 13 quarter is 3.25". Just proving I actually paid attention.)

    • @timothyball3144

    Has any boat builders ever contacted you about selling the crotch for the bow of a boat? I would think you have had trees that didn't work out for tables, or were too small for what you do, but you could make a fortune selling the small and large crotches to these guys. So if your not familiar, you could slab 2,3,4,5 crotches out of one crotch. Large trees like you do would big thicker for larger boats but you could probable cut 10 or more using just a crotch someone left for scrap probably making a lot more than you do for tables.
