Jade, you are really getting the camera angles and perspectiveives of the cuts and breakdowns. As a video guy I see the effort you go to to get the keeper shots, keep it going.
IKR I see it too. Maybe she took a photo class or something?
Does TH-cam have awards for cinematography? 🤔🤓🤷♂️. They should. 😉😀👍🏻
Awesome thanks everyone ❤️
I don't learn something new everyday, but I did today, thanks!
FYI the center of a log is called the pith
Rays radiating out from the center of a cross cut section make oaks easy to identify. I believe rays are exclusive to oaks (Genus: Quercus). I so much admire you for all your preparation and delivery of videos in addition to helping run the mill. . Extraordinary young woman.
Most woods have medullary rays; they're just not as prominent, as flecks, as they are in oak.
Ever see quarter sawn beech? Or sycamore? There are several woods that show medullary rays the way oak does. Curiously, it is impossible to distinguish flat sawn chestnut from oak and it does not show a trace of medullary rays. At any rate, oak is not the only wood that puts on this particular display when quarter sawn.
@@ManuelGarcia-ww7gj OK, we’ll just leave it at that. I was not referring to patterns or artifacts that you might see in lumber, but oak rays from my study of wood technology and wood morphology. If someone saws a tree down and looks at the stump and sees rays emanating from the pith-and it’s not oak-I surely would like to see it. That’s something I missed in my 50 years of study and practice.
Sometimes I wonder what type of trees the petrified wood I find were. 🤷♂️🤔🤨🧐🤓😁👍🏻👌🏻
@@tomtheplummer7322 I have quarter sawn several pieces of petrified wood. At least two of them displayed medullary rays the way oak does.
As a grain "junkie", vertical ray fleck is my favorite. So much character and abstract beauty. Thank you for the wash down and close ups :)
The SUN was shining today, wow and Yay! I thought they made good use of the shade and backlighting when possible. Another professional vid.
Great Job Emerald.
Enjoy learning the many nuances of your job and the variety of wood cuts/applications, always interesting.
You are so smart!!!
Jeff Barron did a vid recently explaining how boards with horizontal grain are much stronger than boards with vertical grain. Now I get a tutorial on Ray Fleck. Thanks LCLY👍🙂
Some of those grain patterns are absolutely gorgeous.
Cool info and beautiful wood. Good natured ribbing just means you’re loved.
Nice jam!!
Very good explenation Emerald, now I know how that pattern happens. I have an antique China closet that's made entirely of that oak and it's absolutely beautiful. Thanks
Didn't know that about wood was that technicaly
Hi Emerald, a long time ago on a apprenticeship as a carpenter (in the late 70´s) we use white oak for furniture an special door making. i love this lumber,greet´s from germany.
I'll have to give Emerald "a hand" for the great explanation plus Jade always does a fantastic job with the camera. A great team!
Hi,the smell of fresh cut lumber is so wounderful,and that oak is beautiful.
Hugs from Brasil.
One of the best explanations of the ray fleck and why it is in the tree and how it shows different due to the direction of the grain and cut of the board .
Keep up the amazing work .
I've seen Ray Fleck before, but did not know it had a name & a reason for being. Thanks for your explanation... Very helpful.
Excellent explanation Emerald! Quart sawn lumber is more expensive because of the added time to saw it as you well know, But it's really worth it! Thanks for the video ladies and thanks for sharing, have a great evening! TTFN
So Smart !
How many guys out there go by the name, Ray Fleck.
I admit, I was confused by the title at first.
Nice info Em.
Sycamore has some nice fleck to
Thanks Emerald and Jade!!
This is one of those channels you just have to watch always somthing to learn here and you can only want the best for this family run biz what an awsome group of people Boss man must wake up feeling accomplished everyday
Thanks for technical lesson. (Hi from Belarus. Harry Davidson).
Thank you foe the entertaining video, I would say Emerald didn't LIE, but was merely mistaken.
great demo/explanation. beautiful wood!
Super explanation..thank you
Lumber team!!!!
Thanks for the info. I am retired. I mounted a Harbor Freight sawmill that will cut a 16'4" log on a narrow trailer and sold it to my son for $3K. He and his family live in the woods of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.
Sold it🤷♂️. I just put stuff on permanent loan to my Son, on the condition he brings it by if I need to use it, or I go to his place. It gives me a good excuse for a visit too. 🤷♂️😏👍🏻👌🏻🙏🏻👍🏻👌🏻
Wow! Thank you Emerald and Jade. Fantastic explanation. -lease keep them coming.
Love how you detailed n explain everything keep cutting it up
Aye, medullary rays. beautiful, especially in oak As ye know, that's the difference between "hard wood" and "soft wood".
More women needed in all industries. Full of admiration for what you do .Mark, Scottish carpenter.
Em, I got my orange Carhart hoodie today. It's great! Beautiful and it fits perfect. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
I think that I shall never see, a poem as lovely as a tree. Except perhaps the lumber and the beautiful homes, furniture and art produced by Craftsmen . 👍🏻👌🏻💪🙏🏻
You are on top of your lumber skills! I'm so glad that your boss/father brought you up right! My 8 children know how to work a dairy farm. These lost skills are a dying breed. Thank you for sharing your family's story!
When I was young my first real job (1978) was in a guitar repair workshop. One afternoon the guys were all looking at a piece of blond wood and getting really excited about it. I couldn’t understand what the fuss was about. One of the guys said “John, its flame maple!” All I could see was a very pale featureless planed board about an inch or so thick. He said “Watch this…” and picked up a jar of methylated spirits we had in the workshop and poured some over the wood. That plain blond plank just exploded with a fabulous deep tiger-stripe reflective pattern. It was breathtaking. It was later book-matched and became the top of a flying-v style guitar.
Tiger Eye Maple is sawn the other grain and is beautiful as well 👍🏻👌🏻
Great vid!!
You could build a super nice living room floor with it. The Wood-Mizer LT-40 runs perfectly for us TH-camr viewers and produces really good boards. A strong advertisement that you do for this company for years. They could donate something to make work easier for you ladies, such as a conveyor belt or a chip extraction system. The misers!
Thanks for the information! I enjoy learning new things! You explained it well.
Very informative, it answers many question in one video . Thank you.
Wow Emerald I had never heard of that. What a greatvideo. Thanks again to you and Jade for making such Awesome learning video. Tell rest of the crew hello too
Kinda reminds me of Tiger Maple or Stretch Marks! Finishes Lovely. Are you saying Rayflect?
Can't make it out.
Describing a 3 dimensional object in words is not easy. 3D graphics/cartoons would help! Working with wood for years might help you understand but sharing that information with others is another skill entirely. You add another dimension TIME and there's a whole world of issues to contend with. When you mentioned that part of the log by default became quarter sawn it fell into place, at least in my mind. Thanks. Detached from reality. Love the slo mo water throw.
I hear it referred to as cross grain fleck. Which basically is self explanatory, it shows up at 90 degrees to the grain lines. (Plus or minus) Some trees species have pronounced easily visible fleck while others do not. I see it in spruce trees occasionally, it’s very subtle in conifers and doesn’t always show up visually, but when it does it indicates to me that we have a perfectly quartered cut.
It's amazing, I always listen to your videos
Awesome content, I'm a Horticulture Major 60 Old Man. You got me getting my old books out ! Thank's
Quartersawn wood shows the medullary rays most prominently, but that term confuses a lot of people. White Oak and Red Oak seem to have the best rays in their grain.
Looks like Woods is beautiful ...can make a dining table and any use for it
They are called medullary rays If memory serves me correctly. Been a little while since my days in wood science prior to my advanced woodworking career.
Great video, thank you for explaining the ray flake. I find it interesting. 👍
You could use an air compressor and hose to easily clean your mill off and control sawdust buildup
I have been a hobbiest for over 40 years and this is the first I have ever heard of Ray Fleck! Thank you. Please keep doing what you are doing!
I had no idea and now I know. Thanks
Those are some gorgeous boards. The fleck adds it's character and it's amazing to look at and follow it with your eyes it does some amazing stuff. Ladies that was awesome. Thank you.👍♥️♥️
Good job Em.
Grain rays are a result of sawing the log to produce a board with the growth rings 45-90 degrees to the boards surface. This is quarter sawing. The closer the growth rings are to 90 degrees the more pronounced the grain rays.
Watching this video made me reflect. My Grand daddy immigrated from Fr Canada to Chicago to work in a steel mill. His job was to recondition the 6' saw blades for the lumber yards. Your equipment is so capable that even healthy young Ladies do not strain to load and operate the machinery. That is the greatest part of engineering. To allow anyone to do near anything.
Thanks Em for explaining ray fleck and quartersawing wood. You are becomng my favorite TH-cam channel hosts! Jade you are the camera queen! Love you guys. Smile. 🤪
We call it 'flame'. Oak wood shows flame more dramatically than most other timbers.
Very informative. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for an explanation that average folks can grasp. Your more and more confident and better everytime.
Wilie is correct. Very interesting, you are very knowledgable in all things wood.
Great Job! Thank you for the education. Jade doing fine job w/ the camera.
A really good and yet simple explanation of ray flecs , thank you for the excellent video.
Cool, that's some beautiful wood!
Your videos just keep getting better. Thanks for the info.
Great explanation
Emerald, thank you for the Botany lesson. I learn every time I watch. Really pretty wood and a great video!
Even as tree white Oak trees are beautiful
Nice job never saw this video very good explanation
That’s going to make some fine flooring
Please come to Derbyshire England so I and my Wife of 45 years can meet you xx
Excellent.
Ray Flack is Bela Fleck's brother. Not a musician, but quite the artist in woodworking. He can make a single Oak board, a work of art. ;-)
Ha!
rift sawn lumber is the best
Great explanation 👌
You are a very knowledgeable family.
Thank you soooo much for explaining this. Never thought about how those crazy patterns got there except from what I know about beetles and fungus.
Thanks, nice video and information!
The medullary rays in that Rock Oak you milled are about as close as you can match in Chestnut Oak. I had a bunch of that and White oak boards set aside for a woodworker 30 years ago and he took every piece of the Rock Oak to match existing lumber in the structure. White oak medullary rays are beautiful too. I gave a huge 4" slab with a big crotch in it to a friend, he made black walnut butterflies of various sizes to stabilize the big fork. He made a work bench that was a piece of art in itself . Nice video, keep 'em coming!
First time hearing "Rock Oak".....what features did you use to determine that was what type of Oak Em cut?
Avery informative video Emerald, great camera work by Jade as well. Thanks for the video!
Makes sense.... thanks 😎 for sharing the content of this Video 😎 extra knowledge is never a bad thing....
good info, had no idea how that works out 👍
I’ve never met Ray, but I’ve heard great things about him. 🤷♂️😏😆👍🏻👌🏻😬😖🤫🤭
Excellent video and explanation Jade! Interesting video too, you guys did great job! Cheers from London 👍😎🏴🇬🇧
That was a very good explanation, Emerald. That is some great look lumber.
True quarter sawn boards are sawn on the radii. Not ten done as there is a lot of waste doing this. Boards would taper across the width.
Nice job Emerald. Back in the day I found myself giving the same explanation. It's not easy to do! One suggestion I can make for your next run at the subject is use a black marker on the end of the board to illustrate the direction of the growth rings. The viewer can't really see growth rings in a TH-cam video. Quarter sawn white oak was the wood of choice during the Arts & Crafts movement between 1880 and 1920 in America, England and Europe. As a boutique mill, I'd inspect at least the center 3 boards of every oak log you cut for 'flecks and ribbons' (a variation on ray fleck). I'd sticker the good ones in the building (up off the floor on dunnage) by species and advertise that you have select quarter sawn material available (for a premium price of course) Have a great weekend 😊
Would that be before or after being kiln dried?
@@bushmaster2936 Depends on your kiln schedule. In this particular instance I was imaging right from the mill to a holding area (as long as it is out of the weather) where air drying can begin until kiln space becomes available. For premium hardwood like quarter sawn white oak, many woodworkers are happy to buy it green for a small discount from kiln dried. They'll sticker it and let it air dry in their shop or barn for a couple years.
Where did you learn this stuff? Another great daily video.
I wouldn’t make fun of you kiddo because you know what in the heck you’re talking about even though you’re talking with your hands keep the videos Carmen really enjoy them and thank you. Tell boss man not to work too hard.
Love the rays in white oak . Building a house and going to use all white oak siding . Keep up the good work!!!!
Not sure if I got them all but I went through all comments and tried to report all the spam as requested by Emerald on her community post. Man there were a lot!
Excellent explanation of a fairly complicated subject!
Nice looking stuff love ya
Ooh that looks crazy
im very impressed by your knowledge
