Beautiful wood. I'm from NE PA & had our honeymoon in Gatlinburgs smokey mountains in 2008. Such friendly people & beautiful woods. I can't wait to return. Oh did i mention how Gorgeous that log is.
I started watching your videos since mid March when I started working from home. I am in Oxfordshire England and have no experience in logging or milling in fact I do railway recovery which just shifting heavy metal about but I have learnt so much from your channel. Great work Nathan!!!
Sometimes in life things work out just like they are supposed to. That was the case with this log. When it first became available, you were not able to take advantage of the offer. The log was lost. Later, when you are in a place to accept the log, it is found again. Good things happen to good people. 👍
Love how that last slab has a knot that resembles a round peg in a square hole. I could see a theme based piece of furniture being made from it. Just awesome!
Being an old 60's woodsman from New Zealand, I love your videos and being a guitarist since I was 9 years old, thats 64 years, I love your guitar soundtracks too. Great videos.
This is awesome to see that something so beautiful lives on in a different way! Live about 45 minutes from G’Burg and Pigeon Forge. Was working on a Large standby generator install at a pump station up at Cobbly Knob when it was all happening and got ran off the mountain by rescue and fire teams, only to go back and have to tear out what we had already done, and start all over again, plus repair and replace many other electrical systems due to the heat of the fire at the Pump station. Those people went through a lot and some still are trying to get insurance monies to cover damages to homes and rental properties. It is amazing, however, to see the results of the rebuilding process! Great video, hits home!
I bought my first Woodmizer in '93. It was an LT30, and in '99 I was contract sawing at a commercial mill in middle Tn, sawing all their large prime logs. In 2 years I sawed over a half million bf. One time a guy brought me a walnut that was over 36" diameter x 12 ft. with the top log, I nearly sawed 1000bf. I'm on my third mill now. It's a standard LT40 non hydraulic that I use on my 110 acres of timber. I very seldom fell any walnut because it's still growing. That wide cut mill looks like a good one.
As a furniture maker my mouth waters every time I see a beautiful piece of wood like this and my mind starts running, “what could I make out of that?” Thank you for the videos, I love watching them. I live in Pennsylvania, I wish I lived closer I’d be your new best friend, hahahahaha.
Hi Nathan, that is the most beautiful Walnut I have ever seen and a great story to go with it. What a terrific video that was, thank you. Regards Jim UK.
That is one of the most beautiful slabs of wood that I've ever seen. After you poured the water on it I paused the video and stared in awe! Absolutely gorgeous, congratulations Nate!
Oh my goodness, that was certainly worth staying up until the wee small hours for. What beautiful wood, made me want to reach out across the Atlantic and run my hands over it. So glad you got that log, Nathan.
Goodness Nathan! That lumber was beautiful BEFORE you doused it with water. It was positively awe-inspiring after you wet it down. Thanks for sharing the images (and the lovely music) with us.
this was special to me, wife and I went through Gatliinburg after the fire and it was really sad to see it and hear all the survivor and death stories. To see all the timber burnt was hard. You have a real treasure there and its very beautiful! Keep up the hard work, we love it.
Wow what a story! This log was destined to be in your mill Nathan! And it’s color is just gonna get so much better now that it’s sawn. Fantastic recovery. -Ben
That wood is beautiful af. Patience is a virtue it seems and it surely paid off with this wonderful tree. Thanks for another uplifting and heartfelt video. It helps bring the real world back into focus.
Hi from the UK, that is probably some of the nicest wood I have ever seen - not just Walnut either. Who ever gets to use that is a very lucky woodworker. Thank you for the video.
Just when ya think it can't get any better, it Gets Better! Thank you Nathan. BTY congrats on reach 86K subscribers. I'm bettin youl be at 100K by Christmas! Rootin for ya!
My heart pitter pattered when you threw that first bucket of water on that board. My mistress is walnut timber. It makes me so happy. The cliff hanger was a good touch.
@@OutoftheWoods0623 for a new mill owner and small youtuber i appreciate your channel! So much great info and footage. Im gonna have to male some time to start watching more of your videos!! Thanks for sharing!!
You were blessed with this log. It is a gorgeous, stunning, out of this world log. P.S....When you mentioned it could be a veneer wood, I was thinking the same thing. (Hubby is a cabinet maker 23 yrs).
Good morning Nathan, What a tremendous story about that log! Those boards are beautiful. As you was squaring the log, I was thinking about an 84 year old one arm cabinet maker in the 1960s who would take the cutoffs of walnut logs from mills and make things out of them. We have a cutting board from one of his projects. I was also thinking about a way I could take a portion of one of those slabs headed to the burn pile and make an oil painting on it. That would be fun. Someday, maybe!
OMG - that is some beautiful walnut. I think it's the best you had on the mill since I started watching over a year ago and you have had some great pieces. Stay safe.
What a wonderful log - always loved walnut tree's in general. Last to get leaves in the spring and the first to drop them in the fall around here. Dad had a book shelf made of walnut that wrapped around our front window. Grand book case - he was a book reader and played chess. RIP Dad.. miss playing chess with you. Take you for the video. 'Spin'
Following you for quit sometime now and wanne thank you for showing your passion for wood. Watching your videos is almost like being there with you at the mill and smelling the wood when open up a new tree. Keep up the good work and God bless you and your family. Kind regards Hessel (Netherlands)
Great video Nathan and Thanks Kindly for sharing the mysterious beauty of this special walnut log! No question on my mind, it was in your destiny to have this log Nathan. And I cant think of anyone who would treat it with more love and respect than you! Thanks for sharing the thrill and joy of this tree's heart! Blessings to You and your Family! DaveyJO in Pa
Great Story, Great Log, Great Videography, and you must have a new mic, Great Sound. And how beautiful was that cloud formation building there at the end? You are surrounded by Beauty, don't overlook it!
Great story. And I'm glad you've got 3 more years of wisdom and experience to treat that beautiful tree with the care it deserves.This tree has obviously grabbed your heart. I assume you'll be keeping a board or two for yourself so what kind of plans do you have? (No kitten update?)
I would LOVE to buy a small piece of any part of that that you wont use. I doubt you would have a piece big enough for me to make a flute out of though, right? (always hoping...lol) Awesome story!! What a gorgeous log of Walnut!! WoW!! And when that water hits it and brings everything out like being magnified...simply nothing but sheer beauty and her own story of a very long rich life. Do you ever sell the pieces that you first cut off to anyone by chance? Congratulations on that beauty making her way back to you!! way to go!!
The pattern on that board at the end was amazing. Love the grain on it. I can see why you were so into that log. That is something else! Thank you for this awesome video. :)
I was on a Disaster Relief volunteer chainsaw team for several months after the Gatlinburg fire. Cut some monster poplars and oaks, never saw any walnut. Handsome log.

Hey brother, you should make your playlist available. I enjoy your music selection as much as the videos.

Yes sir!
Walnut, Birdseye maple, honey locust, spalted maple. God I love watching people mill those up. Great video.
Love how that last slab has a knot that resembles a round peg in a square hole. I could see a theme based piece of furniture being made from it. Just awesome!

The wood in that log is absolutely beautiful. You hit the lottery with that log.
Agreed 👍👍
I doubt that another log more beautiful this one will ever come your way again,
Wow! Beautiful! This one has a rose🌹 bloom in the grain.

That is the most awesome wood grain on a walnut I have ever seen.
That’s what you don’t see enough of. People taking pride in what they do.
That is one of the most beautiful slabs of wood that I've ever seen. After you poured the water on it I paused the video and stared in awe! Absolutely gorgeous, congratulations Nate!
**WOW** Just plain awesome.
Hard to believe that it's been (5) already. Seemed more recent.
Good to see some trees were 'saved'.
The only thing better than the "look" of walnut on the sawmill is the smell of it when you are sawing it...🤠
Best Wishes Nathan!
Thanks for watching!
Oh my goodness, that was certainly worth staying up until the wee small hours for. What beautiful wood, made me want to reach out across the Atlantic and run my hands over it. So glad you got that log, Nathan.

Black walnut was the specified wood to be used in the construction of limber boxes for horse drawn artillery during the War of Northern Aggression.
I guess the saying ''Good things come to those who wait'' is true ? Beautiful wood Nathan.
Thanks 👍👍👍👍
