- The OneOak tree reaches the sawmill, Deep in Wood. This film is one of a series telling the full life story of one oak tree. The OneOak project is an intiative of the Sylva Foundation aiming to bring people closer to growing trees for wood. www.OneOak.info
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.
How many dislikes were made from atop a wooden desk or chair?

He got the idea from geni.us/Woodworker
+Ben Scriven Especially oak desks :)) The laptop desk must be made from the strongest type of wood :)) and oldest otherwise it doesn't have character :)

I have wooden leg, right side...hold on left side I think.
WOW Sabina! The logs CUT like a verocilaptor! Thanks for the tok tik!
Those stacks of oak at the end are so lovely to behold. Knowing they're part of a tree management system makes it even better.
When you think about it every cut is like a new piece of one of a kind art work...
From tiny Acorns grow Mighty Oaks! Lovely timber.
Beautiful graining in that old oak !
These guys are professionals.....not in a hurry and very meticulous. I have several beautiful antique pieces of furniture, obviously with lumber milled over 100 years ago and the wood patina is beautiful......I never tire of looking at their beauty. Nice video!!!
A marvellous example of how to respect nature by using ist resources carefully; my deep compliments to your idea of business !
This looks like very tidy and efficient work. I am glad that y'all are able to harvest this wood for good use.
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.
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
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!!
100 PERCENT ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY AMAZING. LOVE IT.
Why The Fuck I like so much the inner part of the tree? It's fucking precious...
Whos teached you how to spoke?

Ok Spaniards and everybody else with mental retardation gets a free pass!
Oletitptip Sm Spain is the main country in the world, we're in the top. So shut the fuck up...
It's a good thing CZcams has has playback speed.
I think there's enough there to make my 'Hayrake Table'! Fascinating stuff. Thanks for taking the time to let us see this.
Say what you want to about saving all of the trees, These people are doing a great job in reclaiming natures beauty, They are treating this wood with great care and respect. This Lumber can now be made into beautiful works of art or beautiful tables and counter tops. Great Job Deep in Woods
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.
WOW that is one beautiful tree..the grain is incredible. I bet that was worth a few bucks
I build guitars for pleasure and I am always on the hunt for that slab of wood that I can turn into a beautiful instrument that will last centuries. Like a Stradivarius. The perfect slab is an elusive goal...but occasionally I stumble onto a prime piece that will take my breath away
I like your caring attitude. We all depend on trees and they deserve our respect
The most beautiful thing about a tree is what you build with it after you cut it down.
This tree is 30 years old from the looks of it, and based on the sources he named at the start was likely planted by loggers for the purpose of being used as lumber.
The best stock piling of lumber I have seen on several videos alike.
the print inside is like a work of art.... The tree's soul.
Nice guys ..like the movement and setup ..no sore backs.lols ..go for quality !
Great video, I'm a old school cabinetmaker and remember using such great woods like oak.
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.
I worked in a mill for a while. we lifted that by hand, it looked rather funny to see those guys using a machine.
big man lifting by hand , get up to date , hahaha now that's funny
This is a fantastic project,keep up the good work fellas! I miss working in a sawmill.The last time was in 1968,and we were doing white pine 2x4's up in the Adirondacks of N.Y.
I bet this would give the most beautiful outdoor table.
idk how i got to this video, but it was oddly calming
Beautiful color.
+Rob Fern If I was there I would have tried to buy one of those slabs for a coffee table.
*can you please tell me the most expensive wood what is it ? not any banned ones like the rosewood*
Ebony
colinsbane ok ty
Amazing, loved it. Thanks
The only thing that could have been better was if the tree hugger were still attached!!
That is mean.
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.
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...
love the way the guy in the jcb fork lift never looks back when he reverses MUPPET
9 minutes of video and this is what you talk about? A safety issue!
great video of a processor doing it right. all the cuts were clean and accurate. very little waste. almost all selects and better. would be super easy to grade. have seen horse shoes in trees in some of the oak here in the states. cheers mate.
I remember seeing a huge oak tree with a buggy axel sticking out of it.
So you mean to say you grew your trees, waited for them to grow, cut them down and make your furniture? Absolutely commendable.
4:30
that pattern is amazing
Another thing, dig that stump up, power wash off the dirt from the roots, and cut it into 6 inch x 12 inch blocks for turning bowls and carvings. The root has fiddle back grain, very beautiful and will not check or crack.
Amazing video! Most people don't know how planks are made.
love the vaccum succers to manupulate the planks.wonder what the rpm on that band saw is?
Nice work, nice sawmill too. A metal detector pass-through is nice to have as an upgrade but not essential.
Absolutely beautiful!! Wow!
OMG, what gorgeous wood!
the quality of that oak wood is amazing, i'd love to make some cool furniture out of it
1. Watch your fingers ! Why is that guy touching wood thats about to fall ?
2. Beautiful piece of wood. I`d love to have some of that !
Beauuuuutiful. Imagine everything you can build with such a beautiful specimen of oak.
Interesting to see the saw operator travels with the carriage and can see exactly where the blade is cutting.
Man, i would have loved some of this Oak!
When ripping a board using home saws, one must control the wood otherwise the cut is crooked. This log is so massive that its sheer inertia controls the cut.
I'd be very interested to know what brand/model of sawmill this is.
That must smell amazing when being cut.
i hope that's sarcasm
josef williams Wood has a very pleasant aroma when being cut. I don't understand why you think I was being sarcastic.
because oak smells like ass that's why.

Well spruce and pine definitely give a nice smell, but oak kind a smell like poop LOL.
AL Ain I see haha. I've never smelled oak so I didn't know haha.
Super robota aż chce się oglądać
Amazing the beauty of this wood
Beautiful grain it will make some fine furniture.
What are those cut-off slabs to be used for? Maybe tables, a long bar, benches...? Curious. I love seeing wood processed. Although I do regret unsustainable harvesting of timber, I really do enjoy seeing wood being transformed in to products like these.
Wow I would love to work there! Damn thats some nice wood
Thanks for sharing.
really took my breath away. 's like anything else, really, if we are respectful of how we use what we get then we honor the sacrifice. s:
Great video! I always wondered how the logs were harvested.
such beautiful work to see something that is dead come to life again
fascinating to see the tree sliced.
Looks like some is being quarter sawn towards the end before it's sticked out and air dried?
i heard once that you need to use the same kind of wood for the strips as the lumber you are going to dry or it would stain it anyone know if thats true?

First I've heard of it and I've been in the business 50plus years
All the sawyers in my part of the country use stickers made from same type of wood to prevent staining. Some even use small pvc.
straight up thank you
BACK IN MY YOUNGER DAYS I WORKED IN COUNTLESS SAWMILLS. THE WORK WAS JUST AS HARD IB EACH OF THEM I WAS 16 YEARS OLD AT THE TIME.
Harold Smith You worked in countless sawmills when you were 16?
That was interesting. Thanks for posting.
Something weirdly calming watching that guy lay down those spacer sticks at 7:05
+EvoPortal must be the symmetry
Gorgeous grain pattern on that log.
No eye protection while using banding locks. GREAT idea.
they did...it's being grown in central washington and supplying a goodly portion of fiber for the wallulla papermill.. it matures in 6 to 10 years and gets pretty big.. i have seen other species of tree grow quite big in short order.. most natably a doug fir in northern california.. it was 75 years old and was some 60 inches in diameter at the butt
Beautiful wood !
Beautiful oak! I love woodwork. 1. oak sounds goood on the plainer! Beats jet engine... 2. You can make a nice table top just with a single board (I know it'll warp, but still..)... 3. Better not to mistake this facility with an automatic car wash.... :)
I see oak trees like this tons of places, it'd be pretty hard to cut down every last oak tree in the world.
Good quality oak. Grow more. Sawing without wastage. Long live the furniture.
I work in exotic woods at my job, and I'm used to the metal banding that we use to ship stuff, but the string ratchet idea is cool
Far more economical than using a chain saw mill. Excellent video
They would make an awesome table top!
thats some really nice wood. itd make some beautiful furniture.
i like our old school circular saw mill. once you lock it in with the dogs it can cut vertically or horizontally and dont require 10 people you can do it by yourself but its easier to have 2 people but thats all you need
Is the end coat clear or do you not use any? ....would expect lot of drying splits if not.
very nice job !
Trees take forever to grow... but yes a agree... do you know if this growth process equals out to the speed at which the cut them down?
That is some really beautiful wood. Any idea what kind of oak it was?
Really interesting.Thanks.
Amazing info there. On my bike when I was a kid, I rode into a tree. Luckily I didn't stay in there to end up in someone's dinner table years later.
how did the craftsment make ship masts of oak. I've heard this was commonly done and that pine was avoided.
In a word. Nice.
Natural timber is gorgeous.
Is there a special name for the spacer sticks they put between each piece of the rough lumber, is it called lath?
How was this tree milled? I'm just now learning about the different methods: it looks like they started off flat-sawing, then maybe ended up quarter-sawing?
Nice one friend, keep up, hope to see more from you. your new friend here. THUMBS UP FOR YOU
that is a genuine problem. I use wood for furniture but I usually try to use more softwoods since they can be replaced more quickly. I hate seeing just how much a logging camp levels everything in sight.
I absolutely love oak.
Once worked in an oak furniture factory, Hated the stuff, just put your hand on a steel machine table and your skin turns Purple. You either use a product like bleach to clean your hands or you go out of an evening with stained hands!
What thickness was it being milled to?
Quite the lumber handling setup.
Just like glass.
now i know what i want for christmas
Wish there was a mill like this near me....
A thing of beauty!
Such huge machines. No wonder all the good trees are gone. God help us all.
