    As a tree climber of 28 years it does me good to see a young man do his best managing the resources available to him with an eye towards specie preservation. Glad for the equipment used too as my dad worked in a mill in Maine and watched a guy die doing the same cutting but with much dire work conditions. Such improvement in 50 years. Well done.

    beautiful grains coming through. For those from the misapplied tree affection society, we have managed woodlands in the UK. Not wholesale deforestation. We need more of this sort of thing. A good use of a valuable material as and when it is available.

    • @paulchristensen2854
      @paulchristensen2854 Před 6 lety

      The UK has been managing it forests for several hundred years now. Since Oak became scarce during the centuries of world Naval dominance. We in Canada can use a LOT more management and MUCH less whole sale deforestation. Nothing short of shocking to see the waste here and I have worked in the forest industry for 35+ years now....nothing has changed except the amount of people working,much fewer. The rate of harvest,much faster. On the waste front no change..... more even in some cases

  • @tileajb1
    @tileajb1 Před 12 lety +1

    I was very interested to hear the comment regarding what you may find when opening a log. In the 1960's and 70's Teak very much in vogue for furniture. Most of the Teak came from Burma and it was not uncommon to find bullets embedded in the logs, these in themselves did not pose too much of a problem as they are made from copper and lead, but if you hit a piece of shrapnell with the bandsaw it would either remove all the teeth, or worst destroy the bandsaw blade when running! Get out quick!!

    • @Niels_f2704
      @Niels_f2704 Před rokem

      Atleast the use of wood is very ecological. People don't even talk about plastics and such that are harming our environment more. Not everything can be recycled and even if you can, it still burns through a lot of energy while trees grow naturally. Even burning logs is still within the natural circulation of polution.

  • @drcobol2000
    @drcobol2000 Před 8 lety +1

    I hate to see a tree fall, since they do their work passively and without complaint. They provide us shade from the harsh summer sun as well as protection from erosion, but as with any other commodity you have to balance personal feelings with business, provided there is a reclamation program to replace what was harvested.
    Those planks are some of the most beautiful cuts of oak I've ever seen compared with what's available here in the US. They would look great put together as high quality furniture, or at least a couple of very nice cutting boards for the kitchen.

    That bandsaw must leave a pretty good surface for the vacuum lift to grab so easily. Plus, that would be a nice load of lumber to own.
    I also note the saw operator has the life of Riley inside a cab, not like it was in the old days.

  • @606thumper
    @606thumper Před 11 lety

    i used to work in a sawmill as a turner, similar to this, what a hard job that is, 6am start in the cold mornings, gloves barely keeping in the warmth. the roller benches didnt have enough rollers on them when i was working, and small offcuts would fall between the rollers, and production would stop, hence the boss would come a-running...
