Not all the eucalypts end check so badly depending on the weather, but I speak of in their natural habitat. I've had spotted gum logs over and around 50cm debarked when fallen in january and sat off the ground till late june with hardly any end checking, we minimize the stress by pre-seasoning before milling and all the mills on the east coast of Australia do, kind of opposite to your practice. Other logs like iron bark and mahogany check up quickly, we just size the log longer than the finished length of the desired cut timber and let it check. You can seal your logs to stop rapid end grain drying which is the cause. Also mill in humid and cooler months so the cut timber air drys slower. Just some thoughts from Australia.

Great to see your video , john, alot of changes since I worked for you. Have you seen the s ring that can go in the end of the log just to stop splitting, worth looking at, they use them in usa, on hickory logs, just a suggestion, keep polishing your stone.

So informative may allah bless you

hey mate try get as close to the collar as possible and prune clockwise around the tree too achieve flush collar pruning

Thanks jack very interesting

Hii sir i am eucalyptus wood supplier from India can i export you from India

WE SET THE STANDARD FOR THIS IN THE LATE 90s KAWERAU BOP, THERE'S A BIT MORE TO IT THAN WHAT YOUR SAYING HERE .

CAREFUL CHOOSING OF WORDS

What is kauri botanical name sir?

Is fine leaf iron bark as fussy with drying ?

I love the way you're killing. Runs off solar heat. Also, I've often wondered how well reverse cycle air conditioners operating on the humidification cycle would work.

He accepts

My father planted many trees on his father's property about 100 years ago.

Leyland Cypress grows almost miraculously here on the US west coast. Any foreseeable potential using it for timber?

i remember staying on this farm when i was a youngster, thinking it would have been late 70's early 80's. If a recall, two or three Christmas holidays, with my parents- was such an awesome experience for a town boy. Enjoyed all aspects of farming including shooting, helping out Dugald, Mandy and a farm hand at the time. So many rabbits as i recall.

Only humans can do stuff to benefit the future generations. Usually other animals care only about themselves or their families. You just inspired me to do a similar thing my friend

KIA ORA! I am new to farming after 12 years in the building industry. Thank you for the inspiration to start my own TH-cam channel!

Whats the recommended max diameter for pruning? I have nitens here, the issue is they have been growing at up to 8 feet (2.4 metres a year) and we think we have missed the first pruning lift due to their substantial growth rate.

Hi John Where did you get your mill from

I have my own sawmill, what depth do you find the best to cut to? I am about to start on some Fastigata.

Very informative. Thank you!

Can I have a job?

Of all the Eucalypt species, I wonder why they planted these? This particular species has very limited use here because of the problems you encounter. There are many fast growing and good looking candidates that are more stable and durable however if one were to change species it will probably be to the benefit of our grandchildren rather than ourselves.

I came across a slab of this, do you happen to know their Janka?

Like video

Hi I'm grateful for this information, please let me know what spray you use at one year I didn't get that correctly

what type of cypress is this? I have something very similar in my yard i was trying to identify.

should leyland cypress trees be trimmed at the bottom and if so, how far up?

An excellent video, showing just how much work needs to go into Eucalypts to make anything of them.

Tnx please can u gave us more info with these type off tree

Very nice thank you for the presentation

Does this work for radial pine trees?

Good video very instructive thank you

Are these lemon cypresses?

Very nice video Thankyou.

I have many large eucalyptus trees on my property that I would like to make wood beams out of. I am looking to make beams that are about 6"x16" or 8"x16" and about 24 feet long. Do you know if that is a good idea? If I dried it right would that be possible? Is the wood stable enough that I could possibly dry it correctly to keep them usable after milling? I want to use them for beams of a foot bridge to cross a canyon.

I think its kinda sad to plant these beautiful trees for harvesting

ওয়াও

Please explain why leaving the 2cm stub. Wouldn't it be better to cut to the collar to avoid dead stubs in the wood?

Appreciate the pruning tips. :)

Fantastic video. Great info, well presented and put together. Thanks for the effort and good luck with your mill

Excellent. Thanks for the walkthrough. Just finishing my homemade mill here in NSW, Australia. This is really helpful info.

The eucalyptus I’m working with is very difficult. Pretty sure it’s a different species then Johns. I think mine was planted by Lucifer himself. It’s that bad.

Excellent information. Thank you sir. Our property in India has 8 acres of eucalyptus trees and some are as old as a century. I do need more information. Thank you

I hear there are forrests in Asia that have a 400 year cycle. Nice to see someone planning trees for the long haul

I live in Spain and behind my house is a eucalyptus forest and I use it to build fences, furniture, tool handles it’s such a versatile tree.

Great video also saw you on grand designs New Zealand

Hello sir. Is it a viable idea for me to plant a river red gum with the intention to keep it pruned to approx 5-10 meters and supply a small amount of firewood with the pruning each year?

Maybe gift it to nz, that would be more nobel and get you good karma

Extremely helpful :)
