Finally got the chance to roll this one up onto the mill, and saw some boards. This log did not disappoint. Beautiful 8/4 black walnut boards for the customer. Sorry Folks. Had to edit the original.
Thank you Dennis, and welcome. I wish we could be using that lumber ourselves, but this one went back to the customer. We are on the hunt for our own. Let's hope we can find some.
IT IS AMAZING TO SEE HOW BEAUTIFUL THE LUMBER AND GRAINS OF DIFFERENT KINDS OF TREES IN THIS BEAUTIFUL WORLD THAT GOD CREATED FOR US TO ENJOY I LOVE BUILDING WITH RED OAK BUT THIS WAS ONE OF THE PRETTIEST WOODS I HAVE SEEN AND I ENJOYED WATCHING THE TIME YOU TOOK TO BRING THE BEAUTY OUT OF THIS LOG

@@deana5843 Thank you very much. So sorry we missed your comment. I hope this reply reaches you. This log was truly a pleasure, and a privilege to mill.
I don’t know anything about milling wood but I like to watch the process. You seem to do an exceptional job compared to some others I have watched. You make the wood “shine”.
Thank you very much Mary. We have a lot of fun opening these logs up, and showing what's hiding inside. And especially sharing it with others. Hopebto see you back in the comment section again. If you ever have any questions, let us know. We'll be glad to help out
Awesome! I have a very large Black Walnut in the front yard. I often think about falling it for the wood. I enjoyed watching the sawmill work. Beautiful wood.
Hello Ron, and welcome to the mill. Save that tree until its on its way out, or a storm takes it down. Enjoy it as much as you can. I hate to see healthy trees taken down. It will bring years of enjoyment. It will come down in time, and you will be able to harvest.
Hello Bill. Thank you, and welcome to the sawmill. We do our best, and try to improve the show, so folks can enjoy it. If there is anything you'd like to see, let us know. We'll try to get it to you.
That walnut was amazing. A real privilege to mill. It was some heavy lifting, but we got it done. We both have the same goals when it comes to the mill. I guess it shows in our videos. Thank you for your compliments :)
Enjoying watching this so much, I was forgetting to leave a comment. LOVE the walnut. OMG!!!! BEAUTIFUL. Having a machine that turns the tree, awesome. I saw another guy hang a bucket to catch the sawdust. I think he sells it. Thanks for showing and look forward more. 😉👍
Thank you Jo, WE have to agree. This walnut was amazing. A real pleasure to mill. And to think it was headed to the scrap pile before they brought it to us. We are so glad they changed their mind. Hope to see you in the comments again

Hello Dianna, and welcome. We absolutely agree with you. This one was definitely a pleasure to saw. Knowing it would live on in many different project, is a good feeling. Deb most definitely is a great partner, for sure. I always make sure she is OK with the lift.
Hello Steven, and welcome. I was thinking the same thing. I'm currently working on getting some walnut for myself. I have a few trees lined up. Just have to wait for those to be dropped on the ground.

We were in W New Britain in Feb 1988 for a month to help build a school. The 4x2 lumber was too perfect for me to drive a nail in it.. My primary job was to cut open 494 100kilo bags of cement from Korea with a machete. Some garamute wood carvings from there are my most favorite wood pieces, especially the Slit log drum carved like a Crocodile!

Great job, beautiful black walnut lumber. Your a lucky man, a great helper (your wife) and access to hardwood logs. Stay safe and keep up the good work.
Thank you very much Richard. Deb is one of a kind for sure. Wouldnt want to do this without her. It was a privilege to mill this beauty, and are always grateful for the opportunity to mill these hardwoods. Saving them for future generations to enjoy, and for woodworkers to create with.
Hello Maurice, and welcome. We hope that some of this lumber ends up in some fine furniture, or cabinetry. I was both amazing, and an honor to mill this log.
Hello Carl, and welcome to the mill. I may have a large Black Walnut coming in the near future. I want to use every bit of it. What size / grain do the builder like?
Hello Roger, and welcome. That is a prime example of a beauty right there. I wish I could have used this for some projects of my own. Thank you for your compliments. They are greatly appreciated. The customer waste very pleased with it. That made us very happy.
Hello Jerry, and thank you. We were lucky enough to find a load of black walnut this past weekend. We have a video up of us loading, and hauling it home. I think you'll like what you see in that video. We will get it on the mill as soon as possible.
@@denniswiskerchen4833 the thickness of the board can be controlled manually, or through the computer set works. It can be set to any thickness in 1/16" increments.
I wish that was me. I love working with wood but alas too late for me and we don't have wood like this where I live..Your sidewalk superintendent actually works. Love it. She is a great worker.
Thank you very much. Maybe to be here in person would be fun. Get the full sights around, and smells from the mill. Deb is awesome, isn't she. Definitely found a good one with her.
My first exposure to a saw mill was onr owned and operated by Charlie Jackson and Dudley Tennant in Street, MD in the 1950's. It was a circular saw powered by an old, old transverse engine Minneapolis Moline steel wheeled tractor. They were about a mile down the hollow from us but when that saw started to load up, I could hear that engine bark like a dog. I loved the sound. I wonder what happened to that tractor. I never saw another one like it.
Hello Douglas, and welcome to the mill. I love the sound of the circle mills, and have had the opportunity to see them in operation under steam power. I really like when folks share their memories of those times, their experiences, and the machines. Work was hard but you earned a living and were proud to do so. We hope to share some of our memories with folks in the future. Im glad you stopped in to share yours. Please don't be a stranger, and be sure to drop by in the comment section when you get a chance.
I just started to watch saw mill videos and this was awesome. Thank you very much for explaining things as you go. I am planning on getting into this in a few years so information is great. I look forward to going through your other videos.
Hello GG, and welcome to the mill. Thank you for stopping at our channel. We try to share information where we can, and make a fun video. I hope you like the other videos, and look forward to seeing you in the comment section.
@@GG-ub4ej it makes milling a lot more fun. I felt like I spent more time preppi g for a cut, than cutting with the LT15. Don't get me wrong. It was a great mill, but not for higher production.
Thank you very much, and welcome to the mill. Deb is awesome, isn't she. We are glad you liked the video. Hope to see you in the comment section again soon.
My father made coffee tables, end tables and lamps with black walnut. We now have it at the mountain house he built. I got rid of the junkie store bought tables and replaced it with the walnut. Beautiful workmanship. He also built his cabinets from the Cherry on the property.
Hello, and welcome to the mill. You cant go wrong with home built furniture, over the cheap store bought stuff. That mountain house must look amazing. I hope to find some high quality Cherry to work with myself. Your father sounds like one heck of a craftsman. Maybe send us some pics someday.
Hopefully we've helped with your decision, on what type of mill to get. Let me know if you have any questions, let us know. Thank you for stopping in. Hope to see you in the comment section more often.
Hello Magaret, and welcome. Black walnut is an amazing wood, isnt it. We are working on getting a couple larger logs for our own use. Hoping that happens soon.
Hello Ken, and welcome to the mill. Black walnut is amazing wood. Especially when its air dried. It retains it natural coloring and appearance. I have folks here who insist on it being air dried. I wish I could come across more like this. Always keeping my eyes open for more.
Great question Robert. Some folks charge by the calculated board footage in the log, before cutting. Others measure the board footage afterwards, and calculate the price, and some simply charge by the hour. There are log volume calculators out there, to assist in figuring board footage before cutting. The same goes for board footage calculators as well. Then it's a matter of a board foot price that is comparable in your area. There can be additional charges for labor, hauling and setting up your mill, if you are milling off site, and charges for hitting metal, or something else in the log.
@@David-fv7zg how do we miss these comments and responses. My apologies David. I've seen prices from 55 cents per board foot. Or, if you are charging by the hour, $100 per hour is common. Some have a minimum amount of hours they charge for. Some charge a minimum of 4 hours, so that 400 to start. It really all depends on your area.
Hello Moondog, and welcome to the mill. I agree 100%. Not just with black walnut, but with many other types of wood. It's always fun to open them up, and see what nature has made.
Hello Phil, and welcome to the mill. Thank you very much. That Black Walnut is awesome wood, isnt it. I'm glad you're picking up a few things from the channel. Always happy to share some information and knowledge. We have a good time making videos.
Thanks for all you do. I now live in Florida and just ain’t the wood that we had in the north East. Still turning wood though. Now and then we run in to pecan or mahogany though. Stay safe
LOL. That thing is a little powerhouse though. Does more than I every expected it to do. Maybe soon we can upgrade. Thanks for stopping in. Hope to see you again in the comment sections.
I love the video. Very helpful. i am thinking about getting a mill, just watching videos to figure out which one i like. Your machine does a beautiful job.
Hello Donnie, and welcome. Thats one of the reasons we started making our videos. We couldn't find more than a few videos of the LT35, when we were shopping for a mill. Seems we covered that pretty well. This machine is amazing, and so is the company. I hope you decide on the Wood Mizer.
Hello Reed, and welcome to the mill. Thank you for checking us out, and watching all the way through. Some of our videos run pretty long. Thank you for following through on the whole video.
It smells great, but isn't good for the lungs. At least as much as we breath in. Sawdust all day long will ruin the lungs. Now Black CHERRY. That smells amazing.
Olave's should start with the short with a small in first that way they don't have to guess at how much slab is going to have to be taken off from the small in
@@garykiser6848 Hello Gary. We could take that slab off in one slice, but then we end up with a hunk of wood that is difficult to handle. Just trying to make life a little easier on the mill
So beautiful, I have a pretty big one too that fell last year from a storm that was leaning. Wished y’all were closer so 8m could get it milled! Thanks for sharing! Hugs and love from Texas!
Hello Linda, and Thank You so much. I wish we were closer as well. We source most of our logs through "Urban Logging". Salvaging these tree, so that they can be turned I to beautiful creations, and still be around for many more years, is a great feeling. If you ever run into a similar situation, check for a local mill like us. There is always someone looking for logs to mill. Thank you for visiting, and we hope to see you in the comments again soon.
I knew two wood workers years ago who would have love that log and the great way you sawed it. They made the best things you ever seen, and would not have used it for about twelve years.
Hello Dallas, and welcome. This log was an honor to mill. Not many come around that are this nice. These will sit for some time before they are used. The gentleman that these belong to is a very good wood worker, and knows the importance of proper drying of the lumber. He prefers air dried black walnut, as it retains more of the natural coloring, and shading.
Hello Trevor, and welcome. My fathers side of the family was from Ireland. Beautiful country for sure. We are truely blessed with some unusual trees, but ill bet you have some there that we would love to have. You are quite welcome. Hope to see you in the comments again.
ITS MANY YEARS SINCE I WORKED IN WOOD,MADE FURNITURE,DOORS,WINDOWS AND STAIRS.I SO MISS WORKING BUT MY HEALTH ENDED THAT. I TOO USED BLACK WALNUT ,TIS A GREAT MATERIAL FOR FURNITURE AND....AS SAY -THE GRAIN AND COULOUR ARE A THING TO BEHOLD THANKS FOR YOUR VIDEOS....TAKE ME BACK SO THEY DO!
Hello Noel. I will have to agree with you on both points. This is an exceptional log. I hope to find some for myself. The Wood Mizer is an awesome machine, and does excellent work. I wish i had got one sooner.
2 x8/4 x7' slabs of that would fulfill my bucket list of formal dinner tables. I had the pleasure of being a part of the construction of a residence with a specially constructed black walnut block paneled study. Absolutely beautiful wood . The Mrs. helping added you to the subscribed list as well.
Hello and welcome Bobby. Thank you for the sub. Black walnut is an absolutely beautiful wood. I would love to have seen that walnut study. I'm sure it was amazing. Deb is great on the mill. Get ready for some more video of her running the mill.
I was awake as well when you posted this comment. LOL Wondering why I was up watching other saw lumber. Thank you for checking it out. Stop back for more.
Watched a few sawing videos now and had not stopped to consider HOW you cut them will effect the price. So thank you for your video and you are so fortunate to have such a great helper.
Hello Bob, and welcome. We started that way. Just cut it. What does it matter. We quickly learned that it matters a lot. Good quality logs help to produce better lumber. We do our best to bring out the best lumber. Thank you for watching us. If there is something you would like to see, let us know. We'll see what we can do
@@IronOakSawmill When naval ships were made of oak wood, a shipwright was present when the oak trees were felled to tell them how to fell them for best usefulness, and see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knee_(construction)
Hello Micheal, and welcome to the mill. We wish we could share some with you. It is a beautiful wood The shipping would be quite a bit though. I'm sure there are certain species that you have, that we would like to have here.
Thank you very much. Black walnut is one of my favorites, and this log is amazing. This mill makes easy work of a log this size. A great machine indeed.
Thank you Monte. Glad you are able to join us here, and are enjoying the content. We definitely agree with you. That walnut was a pleasure to mill, and still the newest one to date on our mill.

I have wanted to do a table with black walnut. I just finished one using Ribboned Sapele and it came out beautiful. My nephew just bought one of these saw mills and it works great. Watch out for nails. They can add up to be very costly. You do great work and take pride in your work. Luckily you have a great helper there.
Black walnut is a magnet for nails, and all sorts of metal. Best of luck with the mill. Strive for quality, and folks will keep coming back. We just want to make sure the customer gets what they want. We also use what we mill. No sense taking shortcuts. Thank you for stopping in Jay. Hope to see you in the comment section again.
Hello Scotty, and welcome to the mill. This was an amazing log, and was both a pleasure, and a privilege to mill. We are still in contact with the customer, and hoping to see what he creates with these pieces.
Hello, and welcome to the mill Robert. Thank you very much. Although wood is a renewable resource, we never like to waste any, especially wood like this. Get the customer all we possibly can.
Thank you Henry. We can only hope that we get some pictures of what is made from these beauties. These were milled for someone else. We always ask for pictures, when they complete a project from lumber we milled. Just hope they remember to send them.
Something good coming out of COVID up here in Toronto. Never took the time before to see all the interesting things on CZcams. Very interesting, thank you.

Thank you very much Richard. Deb is one of a kind for sure. Wouldnt want to do this without her.
It was a privilege to mill this beauty, and are always grateful for the opportunity to mill these hardwoods. Saving them for future generations to enjoy, and for woodworkers to create with.
Thanks for showing me the black walnut cut. That's amazing wood. I like your mill!
Thank you David. I had to share it. That grain and coloring is amazing.
We are loving our mill. You can't go wrong with a Wood Mizer
After spending 10 years or so in the UK cabinetmaking business, it was nice to see this end of the process. Well done.
Hello Maurice, and welcome. We hope that some of this lumber ends up in some fine furniture, or cabinetry. I was both amazing, and an honor to mill this log.
1st time watching. It will be my pleasure to watch many more.
Thank you, and welcome to the mill. Hope to see you in the comments.
I love watching you guys working I know the customer will love the black walnut it’s beautiful
Thank you Carol, and welcome. We do our best to produce good quality lumber for the customer. Team work, makes the dream work. Is what they say. :)
Saw for first time today. Fascinated by the beauty of the grain of the wood.
Thank you EJ, and welcome to the mill. This walnut really was amazing. We hope to find more like it. Keeping our fingers crossed.
That has to be the best Black walnut that I have seen in years,would make some nice gun stocks.
Hello Carl, and welcome to the mill. I may have a large Black Walnut coming in the near future. I want to use every bit of it. What size / grain do the builder like?
An absolutely beautiful walnut log. Incredible skill in running that mill and I an sure the customer will be satisfied.
Hello Roger, and welcome. That is a prime example of a beauty right there. I wish I could have used this for some projects of my own.
Thank you for your compliments. They are greatly appreciated. The customer waste very pleased with it. That made us very happy.
And that is a lot of hard work, enjoy some CBD and loose the pain and stress, sleep better, watch our video @ zzedibles.com
That was some fine black walnut
And you did a great job sawing it all.
Hello Jerry, and thank you. We were lucky enough to find a load of black walnut this past weekend. We have a video up of us loading, and hauling it home. I think you'll like what you see in that video. We will get it on the mill as soon as possible.
Congrats!! And, what beautiful boards from that massive black walnut!!
Thank you Larry. I ha e to agree, that walnut looks great. I hope to have more large walnuts in the near future. These will be for my personal walnut.
I helped my son place an 8’ Black Walnut board he had put 9 coats of Tung Oil for a bar top in his Man Cave....beautiful grain.
It absolutely is beautiful wood. We like a tung oil finish as well. Easy to do, and looks amazing.
That was one beautiful piece of timber!
Thank you Craig, and welcome. I will have to agree with you on that. This is probably the nicest black walnut we have sawn here at the mill.
How do you know how to set the saw to get the right size of boards
@@denniswiskerchen4833 the thickness of the board can be controlled manually, or through the computer set works. It can be set to any thickness in 1/16" increments.
What beautiful wood! Great shots of lumber being cut. Great job!
Thank you Curt. Sorry for the delayed response. We are working on getting another one nearly this big. It should be amazing. Stay tuned.
I wish that was me. I love working with wood but alas too late for me and we don't have wood like this where I live..Your sidewalk superintendent actually works. Love it. She is a great worker.
Thank you very much. Maybe to be here in person would be fun. Get the full sights around, and smells from the mill.
Deb is awesome, isn't she. Definitely found a good one with her.
Really interesting to see the grain being discovered as milling goes on.
I agree Tony. We really look forward to what we find in the logs. This stuff is amazing.
My first exposure to a saw mill was onr owned and operated by Charlie Jackson and Dudley Tennant in Street, MD in the 1950's. It was a circular saw powered by an old, old transverse engine Minneapolis Moline steel wheeled tractor. They were about a mile down the hollow from us but when that saw started to load up, I could hear that engine bark like a dog. I loved the sound. I wonder what happened to that tractor. I never saw another one like it.
Hello Douglas, and welcome to the mill. I love the sound of the circle mills, and have had the opportunity to see them in operation under steam power. I really like when folks share their memories of those times, their experiences, and the machines. Work was hard but you earned a living and were proud to do so. We hope to share some of our memories with folks in the future. Im glad you stopped in to share yours.
Please don't be a stranger, and be sure to drop by in the comment section when you get a chance.
I just started to watch saw mill videos and this was awesome. Thank you very much for explaining things as you go. I am planning on getting into this in a few years so information is great. I look forward to going through your other videos.
Hello GG, and welcome to the mill. Thank you for stopping at our channel.
We try to share information where we can, and make a fun video.
I hope you like the other videos, and look forward to seeing you in the comment section.
@@IronOakSawmill I have been enjoying them. Watching the ones with your previous mill. This 35 looks like a nice upgrade.
@@GG-ub4ej it makes milling a lot more fun. I felt like I spent more time preppi g for a cut, than cutting with the LT15. Don't get me wrong. It was a great mill, but not for higher production.
This was both educational and entertaining to watch!!
Dear Dr. Deb was a highlight...she sure earned hers keeps today!!
Great vid thanks
Thank you very much, and welcome to the mill. Deb is awesome, isn't she. We are glad you liked the video. Hope to see you in the comment section again soon.
My father made coffee tables, end tables and lamps with black walnut. We now have it at the mountain house he built. I got rid of the junkie store bought tables and replaced it with the walnut. Beautiful workmanship. He also built his cabinets from the Cherry on the property.
Hello, and welcome to the mill. You cant go wrong with home built furniture, over the cheap store bought stuff. That mountain house must look amazing.
I hope to find some high quality Cherry to work with myself.
Your father sounds like one heck of a craftsman. Maybe send us some pics someday.
My favorite species. I am going to build the cab for my 1/5 scale live steam locomotive out of black walnut.
Hello Harry, and welcome. That would be an awesome project to see. Any chance you could send pic of it, when you're done?
:;;
Awesome! Good stuff. I'm gonna start planning on getting my own cool mill. Great show and Great cutting.
Hopefully we've helped with your decision, on what type of mill to get. Let me know if you have any questions, let us know.
Thank you for stopping in. Hope to see you in the comment section more often.
The natural beauty of the wood really came through in the video. Nice work!! !
Hello Magaret, and welcome. Black walnut is an amazing wood, isnt it. We are working on getting a couple larger logs for our own use. Hoping that happens soon.
Now that is some nice looking wood my friend.
Thank you Joel. I really need to find some of that for myself. I have a few leads. Hoping it pays off.
Beautiful wood makes the world good.
I feel the same way. This black walnut is amazing.
Would love to have 10 or 15 of them in my back yard. Lovely wood for a great job well done
Hello Ken, and welcome to the mill. Black walnut is amazing wood. Especially when its air dried. It retains it natural coloring and appearance. I have folks here who insist on it being air dried.
I wish I could come across more like this. Always keeping my eyes open for more.
Never underestimate the value of teamwork. Great mill, great team!
Thank you very much, and welcome. Teamwork makes the dream work.
I have a question for you. How much does it cost to mill a log like that black walnut in your video?
Great question Robert.
Some folks charge by the calculated board footage in the log, before cutting. Others measure the board footage afterwards, and calculate the price, and some simply charge by the hour.
There are log volume calculators out there, to assist in figuring board footage before cutting. The same goes for board footage calculators as well. Then it's a matter of a board foot price that is comparable in your area.
There can be additional charges for labor, hauling and setting up your mill, if you are milling off site, and charges for hitting metal, or something else in the log.
Iron & Oak Sawmill To expand on this question, what do you think is a fair price per bdft or per hour to mill? Thanks!
@@David-fv7zg how do we miss these comments and responses. My apologies David. I've seen prices from 55 cents per board foot. Or, if you are charging by the hour, $100 per hour is common. Some have a minimum amount of hours they charge for. Some charge a minimum of 4 hours, so that 400 to start. It really all depends on your area.
I wonder what the end use for these planks will be? Table legs or entry doors? Maybe milling it into crown moulding?
Hello Rod, and welcome to the Mill.
I wonder that myself. I hope to do a follow up with the gentleman who we milled this for, to find that answer.
Always amazed at the natural beauty under the bark. Never a dull moment.
Hello Moondog, and welcome to the mill. I agree 100%. Not just with black walnut, but with many other types of wood. It's always fun to open them up, and see what nature has made.
absolutely beautiful walnut. Your vids are good to watch and to learn. Thanks much for your time.
Hello Phil, and welcome to the mill. Thank you very much. That Black Walnut is awesome wood, isnt it. I'm glad you're picking up a few things from the channel. Always happy to share some information and knowledge. We have a good time making videos.
Thanks for all you do. I now live in Florida and just ain’t the wood that we had in the north East. Still turning wood though. Now and then we run in to pecan or mahogany though. Stay safe
amazing wood, I would just keep it like that
Yes it is. One of my favorites. 8/4 thick looks amazing. Can't go wrong with that.
LOL you need to feed that tractor so it will grow UP
LOL. That thing is a little powerhouse though. Does more than I every expected it to do. Maybe soon we can upgrade. Thanks for stopping in. Hope to see you again in the comment sections.
I love the video. Very helpful. i am thinking about getting a mill, just watching videos to figure out which one i like. Your machine does a beautiful job.
Hello Donnie, and welcome.
Thats one of the reasons we started making our videos. We couldn't find more than a few videos of the LT35, when we were shopping for a mill. Seems we covered that pretty well.
This machine is amazing, and so is the company. I hope you decide on the Wood Mizer.
I watched this from start to finish...with no breaks. Cool video. Thx, folks.
Hello Reed, and welcome to the mill. Thank you for checking us out, and watching all the way through.
Some of our videos run pretty long. Thank you for following through on the whole video.
Alguém sabe se já tem dessa máquina no Brasil e o preço
Sim, eles fazem meu amigo.
czcams.com/video/XRSuqBilb0E/video.html
Uma fortuna por ser importada! As nacionais mais completas saem pelo preço da tl 15!
@@juraciaparecidodressadori7249 Isso não é bom. Pode ser hora de construir seu próprio moinho.
Bet that smells amazing while cutting it...almost a shame wearing the masks to cover up the sweet aroma. That's like therapy for carpenters.
It smells great, but isn't good for the lungs. At least as much as we breath in. Sawdust all day long will ruin the lungs.
Now Black CHERRY. That smells amazing.
@@IronOakSawmill I realy like that you use the masks, Proper PPE is important, so everybody is aware of the beauty of the wood but knows ist Hazards!
Olave's should start with the short with a small in first that way they don't have to guess at how much slab is going to have to be taken off from the small in
@@JenningsVIIII try to spread the same word. A lot of older wood workers out there with breathing issues. Stay healthy
@@garykiser6848 Hello Gary. We could take that slab off in one slice, but then we end up with a hunk of wood that is difficult to handle. Just trying to make life a little easier on the mill
So beautiful, I have a pretty big one too that fell last year from a storm that was leaning. Wished y’all were closer so 8m could get it milled! Thanks for sharing! Hugs and love from Texas!
Hello Linda, and Thank You so much. I wish we were closer as well. We source most of our logs through "Urban Logging". Salvaging these tree, so that they can be turned I to beautiful creations, and still be around for many more years, is a great feeling. If you ever run into a similar situation, check for a local mill like us. There is always someone looking for logs to mill.
Thank you for visiting, and we hope to see you in the comments again soon.
My dad was a carpenter and taught me the beauty in fine lumber. Black walnut was fantastic.
Your Dad was a smart man.
Hello Betty, and welcome. This log was a privilege to mill.
I knew two wood workers years ago who would have love that log and the great way you sawed it. They made the best things you ever seen, and would not have used it for about twelve years.
Hello Dallas, and welcome. This log was an honor to mill. Not many come around that are this nice. These will sit for some time before they are used. The gentleman that these belong to is a very good wood worker, and knows the importance of proper drying of the lumber. He prefers air dried black walnut, as it retains more of the natural coloring, and shading.
So enjoyable to watch, wish we had trees like that here in ireland.thanks guys..
Hello Trevor, and welcome. My fathers side of the family was from Ireland. Beautiful country for sure.
We are truely blessed with some unusual trees, but ill bet you have some there that we would love to have.
You are quite welcome. Hope to see you in the comments again.
ITS MANY YEARS SINCE I WORKED IN WOOD,MADE FURNITURE,DOORS,WINDOWS AND STAIRS.I SO MISS WORKING BUT MY HEALTH ENDED THAT. I TOO USED BLACK WALNUT ,TIS A GREAT MATERIAL FOR FURNITURE AND....AS SAY -THE GRAIN AND COULOUR ARE A THING TO BEHOLD THANKS FOR YOUR VIDEOS....TAKE ME BACK SO THEY DO!
Simply beautiful wood. That was so pretty.
Hello Mark, and thank you. Black walnut is one of our favorites. It was a privilege to mill this one. Very beautiful wood.
Awesome walnut boards. Loved the way you cleaned up the live edge. Saved lots of table saw time.
Thank you Jeffery. No live edge for this client. He wanted it nice and square. A real pleasure to mill
I like your style by seeing what to do with the natural shape of the wood. Wonderful stuff :-)
Thank you very much Robert. I thi k it's time for another project in the shop, and hopefully create some beautiful pieces.
What a beautiful piece of wood. And your saw makes it look so easy.
Hello Noel. I will have to agree with you on both points. This is an exceptional log. I hope to find some for myself.
The Wood Mizer is an awesome machine, and does excellent work. I wish i had got one sooner.
It is just so awesome to see that rough log turned nt some beautiful lumber, >Joe Morris, Baltimore MD
Hello Joe, and welcome. This one surprised me. It turned out very nice. Glad we were able to mill it, and save it from the burn pile.
Enjoyed watching the process. ART!!!
Hello Rita, and thank you. We want to do the best we can with these logs. Dont want ro waste any of it.
Thanks Rita . The lumber was very beautiful. Thanks for tuning into the channel.
Walnut is my favorite, such a beautiful color and grain!
One of our favorites as well Paula. This one was a pleasure to mill.
2 x8/4 x7' slabs of that would fulfill my bucket list of formal dinner tables. I had the pleasure of being a part of the construction of a residence with a specially constructed black walnut block paneled study. Absolutely beautiful wood . The Mrs. helping added you to the subscribed list as well.
Hello and welcome Bobby. Thank you for the sub. Black walnut is an absolutely beautiful wood. I would love to have seen that walnut study. I'm sure it was amazing.
Deb is great on the mill. Get ready for some more video of her running the mill.
Why am I awake at 1:30 AM watching someone saw lumber? Beautiful walnut log. Amazing. Thank God for coffee.
I was awake as well when you posted this comment. LOL Wondering why I was up watching other saw lumber. Thank you for checking it out. Stop back for more.
It is amazing to see the grain it's a beautiful word. Wonderful Walnut that I ever seen beautiful beautiful
Thank You Raymond. This log was a pleasure to mill. Beautiful grain.
Glad to help, was in the logging business 50 yearsago, allot has changed. Good luck

Thanks Ron. Stay well friend. Hope to see you in the comments more often.
Watched a few sawing videos now and had not stopped to consider HOW you cut them will effect the price. So thank you for your video and you are so fortunate to have such a great helper.
Hello Bob, and welcome. We started that way. Just cut it. What does it matter. We quickly learned that it matters a lot. Good quality logs help to produce better lumber. We do our best to bring out the best lumber.
Thank you for watching us. If there is something you would like to see, let us know. We'll see what we can do
@@IronOakSawmill When naval ships were made of oak wood, a shipwright was present when the oak trees were felled to tell them how to fell them for best usefulness, and see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knee_(construction)
Very enjoyable to watch the professionalism of the work you do. You make it look easy, and I know it's not. Thank you.
Thank you Terry. We like to do the best we can for the customer, and hope to do the wood justice. The work his hard some days, but rewarding as well.
Very beautiful cuts and the colors of that wood are great.
Thank you Carlos and welcome to the mill. This is amazing wood. I was privileged to saw it.
I wish, I could have this Walnut. Greetings from a carpenter in Austria!
Hello Micheal, and welcome to the mill. We wish we could share some with you. It is a beautiful wood The shipping would be quite a bit though. I'm sure there are certain species that you have, that we would like to have here.
Beautiful walnut... Incredible machine.
Thank you very much. Black walnut is one of my favorites, and this log is amazing.
This mill makes easy work of a log this size. A great machine indeed.
Just came across your channel and I am thoroughly enjoying it . The walnut is some of the best I've ever seen. Congrats on 10,000 👍
Thank you Monte. Glad you are able to join us here, and are enjoying the content. We definitely agree with you. That walnut was a pleasure to mill, and still the newest one to date on our mill.
I love woods, I'm living in Europe, I'm familiar with your woods, since I grew up in LA a.long time ago. Good memories from when is was young, thank you for yr reply, take care
We do have beautiful hardwoods here in the east coast of the United States. We are glad you're here, and hope to see you commenting in the future.
That log was magnificent! Good Job!!
Thank you Michael. Sorry for the delayed reply. It was a real pleasure to mill this one. We hope we can find some more just like it.
Beautiful Black Walnut !! It Would Make a Beautiful Fireplace Mantel !
Hello Gerald. I will have to agree with you. That would could look amazing as a mantel.
This is my first time. Great work. Great on some beautiful wood. Nice to see you working together.
Hello Doug, and welcome. Thank you very much. We have a good time on the mill. Especially the surprise when we open a beautiful slice of lumber.
Really sweet grain. Thanks for showing!
Happy to share David. Glad you liked it. We definitely agree.
I have worked with Black walnut but this is really nice stuff. Thanks for the awesome video!
Sorry for the delayed response Ron. This log was awesome to mill. I only hope this big one we have waiting at our mill is just as nice. Stay tuned.
made some beautiful logs. love walnut!
I learned a lot, also enjoyable and interesting. Thank you!
Thank you Greta, and welcome to the mill. We are glad you liked the video. Check out some of the others. I hope you like those as well. If there is something you would like to see, let us know. We'll try to do a video on it.
I have wanted to do a table with black walnut. I just finished one using Ribboned Sapele and it came out beautiful. My nephew just bought one of these saw mills and it works great. Watch out for nails. They can add up to be very costly. You do great work and take pride in your work. Luckily you have a great helper there.
Black walnut is a magnet for nails, and all sorts of metal. Best of luck with the mill. Strive for quality, and folks will keep coming back. We just want to make sure the customer gets what they want. We also use what we mill. No sense taking shortcuts.
Thank you for stopping in Jay. Hope to see you in the comment section again.
Stunning set up. Like this equipment. Beauty
Thank you Mike. We work with what we have. We may not be the biggest, but we try to turn out the best stuff lumber we can. Thanks for stopping in.
Fantastic cuts of wood. That would make perfect furniture or indoor flooring, ceiling or walls.
Hello Scotty, and welcome to the mill. This was an amazing log, and was both a pleasure, and a privilege to mill. We are still in contact with the customer, and hoping to see what he creates with these pieces.
love your work on get the most out of the log
Hello, and welcome to the mill Robert.
Thank you very much. Although wood is a renewable resource, we never like to waste any, especially wood like this. Get the customer all we possibly can.
Awesome work, that walnut definitely made it into the right hands. Keep up the good work.
Hello Nicholas, and welcome. It definitely was awesome stuff, and we were honored to mill it.
The grains are beautiful..Can't wait to see the final end

Thank you Henry. We can only hope that we get some pictures of what is made from these beauties. These were milled for someone else. We always ask for pictures, when they complete a project from lumber we milled. Just hope they remember to send them.
