I'm impressed you found box elder straight enough to saw. Pretty wood. Here in Canada, it grows so crooked it's almost not worth messing with for firewood. ( horrible firewood it is too) also weak and a good wind or ice storm will usually finish them. Interesting stuff, stay safe guys.
I've got to admit. I've never seen wood with flames before I lit it on fire. Beautiful! How gorgeous those would be as accent walls. Boy, your second log was bound and determined to not be a victim of the Bus Saw. Didn't want to cooperate with Chewy at all! Not to speak sacrilege, but some of the chunks you pulled off of that would be incredible set in epoxy and turned into a table.😃
Every cut on a figured log is an adventure… this ugly log made all the previous adventures look like a walk around the block. Beautiful stuff you got there.
Love watching you’ll saw and listening to that Detroit run. I have a band mill but where I live at in WV box elder never gets big enough to saw, thats some beautiful wood
Wow what nice color and to think most of us millers don't want to cut Box Elder. After 20 years of milling I finally cut one two years ago and it had the same red streaks and it was beautiful. TERRY
Had large Box Elder tree I had to take down in back yard. Had lots of pretty red in it. It Always attracted the black & orange beetles. Was about 42 years ago, cut into firewood, was very nasty to axe split. Wood stinks when wet/green, wood stinks when dry/seasoned and really stinks when burned. Had fairly modern air tight woodstove at that time. couldn't stand the odor when burned. Finely disposed of it in the woods far away from home. Had lots of pretty red in it. However I like the looks of sawed lumber and no doubt a great artistic wood when finished. Love watching you saw this log, 👍
loved ol mike he wasa great sawer and story teller if there is mills in heaven you cann rest assured he gonna be runing one my dad had a mill he sawed a lot of stuff but dont ever remember box elder
Nice to see you in action once again.. As an afterthought when I was in Germany a few years ago I saw pieces of wood like those used to make memorial plaques with with the picture of a deceased loved one on it.
Just a thought… if you could get the 3rd get on it arm on a separate cylinder, you could use it to slide the log onto the headblock like you used chewy.
It was a joy to watch a real sawyer operate and produce something great not just some dude cuttin’ up logs. I really enjoy your explanation of what you are doing while you’re doing it. I also like the pith marked with the paint dot.
What a beautiful log. The big red patterning looked like a bull's head. We went to the Otway (Vic, Australia) old growth Forrest yesterday. I'll send some photos of the Mountain Ash trees to you. They were about 15 to 20 ft across the butt and and about 200 ft high. Truly magnificent trees. Stunning video. Patrick
I'm also a wood turner and I love the look of that stuff! Just keep it out of the sun and the red will stay for quite a while, putting on a finish that blocks UV light will also help lock in the red.
I watched Eddys video too and hello from MN. I said that i had some flame box elder sawn up last fall from my in laws property. I will be making a game table for my cabin. The flame comes from a fungus and it is part of the maple family but is soft. It sure is a stinky wood!
That is some beautiful wood! I've heard of box elder but I don't remember ever seeing any, much less seeing any cut on a sawmill before. It did seem to be a challenge of sorts though at times. Enjoyed the video guys!
Gorgeous, I had some European Tamarack (or Larch) that had those red veins in it... mostly in the sapwood. All my neighbors wanted the slab wood that I chipped from it for their flower garden mulch.
Beautiful lumber Mark & Ed. My best friend sawn a 7 inch box elder. He made his "last name" into a sign for his wife/ my niece. So beautiful. The " red streaks" were amazing. 😍🙂😉👍That lumber can be made into countless wood working projects. My first time seen big & ugly logs. Who knew!? The red sawdust can create wood pellets for heat. ( Just a thought.) Thanks guys. Say Hi to ZZMARK. 😍🙂😉👍❤️💜🙏
WOW !!!. How amazing is nature's beauty, Nathan (OTW) sawed Ambrosia Maple on his mill, I thought the maple was spectacular, but the Flame Box Elder is in another league ,got my research juices flowing seeing you mill those ugly looking logs ,flame box elder sometimes known as Ash-leaved Maple as technically it's from the Maple family of trees "Acer Genus"
Never used box elder in 50 years as a carpenter or furniture maker, mores the pity. How wonderful nature is, and what wonders the good lord gives us. Keep safe all.
Up north here in Ontario we call these Manitoba Maples. Now they are generally regarded as a weed tree, but I have heard that they make excellent carving wood similar to basswood. They grow super fast and do have a 'weedy' smell. Thanks Mark and crew.
I work at Townsend lumber in southern Ontario at our pallet mill we will put low grade basswood and aspen along with poplar,cottonwood,balm,willow ,tulip and the very little bit of Manitoba maple that comes in they are normally junk crooked from yards and sides of fields
Mark, with all the noise in the mill you do need hearing protection! May I suggest protection with 2way communication radio, so you and Eddie can tank back and forth as needed!
Those were some knarly logs! Two comments... Don't apologize for dealing with the hangups! Dealing with the hangups makes these videos VERY interesting! I'd rather see a practical solution to a problem, than see nothing but when everything only went perfect, any frikken day! Second comment. That bugwood... Have you not been watching the number of epoxy and wood videos out there? That stuff is GOLD! :) I'm not even a fan of the epoxy thing, but I think I would be pretty happy to have those boards to do something with! Especially in any wood that is even a little bit interesting. FWIW, I grew up watching my father run a head saw rig that my Grandfather bought used, in 1932 (I have the reciept!).
No need for a splash of water. That vibrant red shows through well enough on its own. That second log had to be among the most gnarly things you've ever put on the mill.

Beautiful wood. I have never seen a Box Elder before.
thanks , this is our first one.
Some beautiful timber T.H.E. Eddie & some nice sawing Mark
thanks Scott.
Happy to see pile at end, we watch video and never see end product. thank you for adding, Great ending to another great video.
thanks Kim , we do show it on most videos.
The “Epoxy” crowd would rock those funky pieces.
yes they would love that.
That was crazy guys! Couldn’t wait to see the next cut. Beautiful wood man I’ve never seen wood like that in 62 years. Fun video guys! Thank y’all!!!
me too but question is what kind of nature tree?
it's out of the maple family
thank you James.
Some of those scarf pieces would be great for mounting a fish on. Use it all you have to respect your elders. 👌
That stuff is wild I'd be joining them together and making unbelievable bar top. Very cool 👍
Das ist ja ein Wunderschönes Holz so was habe ich noch nie gesehen, Tisch Holz vom Feinsten
thanks.
The alligator log 🧐 sure has some beautiful colours.
yes it did.
Never in my sawmill days have i seen this kind sawed, awesome figures and color. Thanks again for taking us along
thanks Doug glad you liked it.
Thank you for another great video. Cheers
thanks Steve.
Beautiful wood guys. Everything you cut can be used for wood turning and making guitars.
Thanks for sharing.
..............G'day,
most interesting.
Cheers,
Malcolm.
thanks.
My gracious! Gives a whole nother meaning to the term "victim"! Beautiful!!!
Beautiful colors
very wild.
That is absolutely gorgeous! Thanks for taking us along for the beautiful ride Mark.
thanks Rich.

Not to speak sacrilege, but some of the chunks you pulled off of that would be incredible set in epoxy and turned into a table.😃
yes it was different for sure.
Even the junk pieces are good for turning and pens and stuff.
yes we kept it all even the slabs.
Wow!! I have never seen those colors in trees - beautiful!! That's an Only God Thing!!! 👍
yes that's true.
That red is amazing. And some blueish areas, too. I surely would love to have a clothes cabinet out of that stuff.
Every cut on a figured log is an adventure… this ugly log made all the previous adventures look like a walk around the block. Beautiful stuff you got there.
thanks Robert.
That was some gorgeous wood guys! That’s for showing us!!
thanks Jim.
That box elder is beautiful wood. Thanks for the video!
thank you.
Some of the box elder might make a nice table top if you use it with a clear epoxy to fill in all the imperfections and square it up.
yes for sure.
Very fun to watch.
glad you liked it.
Love watching you’ll saw and listening to that Detroit run. I have a band mill but where I live at in WV box elder never gets big enough to saw, thats some beautiful wood
thanks William.
Wow what nice color and to think most of us millers don't want to cut Box Elder. After 20 years of milling I finally cut one two years ago and it had the same red streaks and it was beautiful. TERRY
we never have sawed it for over 30 years now , glad we did.
Wow what a amazing color scheme! Harkens back to the term never judge a log by it's exterior 😀
yes very true.
Had large Box Elder tree I had to take down in back yard. Had lots of pretty red in it. It Always attracted the black & orange beetles. Was about 42 years ago, cut into firewood, was very nasty to axe split. Wood stinks when wet/green, wood stinks when dry/seasoned and really stinks when burned.

However I like the looks of sawed lumber and no doubt a great artistic wood when finished. Love watching you saw this log, 👍
That will make for some Beautiful Bowls . WOW .
for sure.
loved ol mike he wasa great sawer and story teller if there is mills in heaven you cann rest assured he gonna be runing one my dad had a mill he sawed a lot of stuff but dont ever remember box elder
yes mike helped me figure out this mill by watching him.
I'm enjoying watching the process you make and try to understand why you turn the log a certain way or just to move it.
Wow now that's some beautiful wood. Really like the bowl blank idea
Kinda reminds me of cedar we have down south here.
Nice to see you in action once again.. As an afterthought when I was in Germany a few years ago I saw pieces of wood like those used to make memorial plaques with with the picture of a deceased loved one on it.
thanks Robert , it would make some nice plaques.
Was nice to see both sides of the sawing of the of the box elder😊
thanks Judith.
These box elders would make nice table tops. Beautiful wood
yes they would.
Just a thought… if you could get the 3rd get on it arm on a separate cylinder, you could use it to slide the log onto the headblock like you used chewy.
yes but it would cost lots of money to do that .
Maple with an attitude.
Never sawed any of that, pretty stuff, great video mark
thanks Andruw.
even the sawdust was red ! nice one !
Never knew that existed, what a treat, thanks.
glad you liked it Jack.
What a fight that second log was!! If that was anything other than box elder it would be firewood at my house.
it was fun to saw lol.
It was a joy to watch a real sawyer operate and produce something great not just some dude cuttin’ up logs. I really enjoy your explanation of what you are doing while you’re doing it. I also like the pith marked with the paint dot.
I don't suspect any of that made it to the firewood boxes. Dunno if box elder grows here in central GA, but MAN that's pretty.
no we saved it all even the slabs.
What a beautiful log. The big red patterning looked like a bull's head. We went to the Otway (Vic, Australia) old growth Forrest yesterday. I'll send some photos of the Mountain Ash trees to you. They were about 15 to 20 ft across the butt and and about 200 ft high. Truly magnificent trees. Stunning video. Patrick
thanks Patrick , I would love to see the pictures.
That is one beautiful log you are sawing there
thanks Charles.
I'm also a wood turner and I love the look of that stuff! Just keep it out of the sun and the red will stay for quite a while, putting on a finish that blocks UV light will also help lock in the red.
good info thanks.
Always love your videos , great work guys
thanks Evan
That piece that came at 15:38 would make a perfect sign over door or room engraved. ❤
lots of nice sign pieces out of theses two logs.
Pretty neat boards coming off those logs great video buddy 👍
thanks Willard.
I watched Eddys video too and hello from MN. I said that i had some flame box elder sawn up last fall from my in laws property. I will be making a game table for my cabin. The flame comes from a fungus and it is part of the maple family but is soft. It sure is a stinky wood!
yes it stink when it was wet but not after it dried a few days.
Good evening from Lincolnshire UK.
Crazy chunks of wood. Most interesting video you guys have done yet.
thank you.
Crazy logs! Looks like they are bleeding.
yes it does.
Mark, not sure about the drawer boxes but wouldn't it make some gorgeous jewelry boxes? - Tyler
That is some beautiful wood! I've heard of box elder but I don't remember ever seeing any, much less seeing any cut on a sawmill before. It did seem to be a challenge of sorts though at times. Enjoyed the video guys!
thanks Gary , lots of fun sawing this lol.
@@markgalicic7788 I could see a lot of potential projects out of that lumber for sure!
Interesting stuff. Waste nothing. Happy weekend and God Bless Yall!
thanks Lewie.
U 2 Too!@@markgalicic7788
Drawer boxes or door panels. I'm glad you heard me yelling at you about those tapers.
Bill
you yell very loud Bill , lol.
Gorgeous, I had some European Tamarack (or Larch) that had those red veins in it... mostly in the sapwood. All my neighbors wanted the slab wood that I chipped from it for their flower garden mulch.
that would make some nice mulch.

did you see our Ambrosia maple video yet?
That would make a gorgeous table top
yes for sure.
flaming box elder
Never used box elder in 50 years as a carpenter or furniture maker, mores the pity. How wonderful nature is, and what wonders the good lord gives us. Keep safe all.
I want to do one small project with it after it dries.
Pretty wood . Intersting shapes .
thanks David.
They might be ugly on the outside but the beauty is on the inside.
yes for sure.
Very amazing logs
yes for sure.
Up north here in Ontario we call these Manitoba Maples. Now they are generally regarded as a weed tree, but I have heard that they make excellent carving wood similar to basswood. They grow super fast and do have a 'weedy' smell. Thanks Mark and crew.
yes it's very soft.
Ya any Manitoba maple we saw goes in the poplar pile
I work at Townsend lumber in southern Ontario at our pallet mill we will put low grade basswood and aspen along with poplar,cottonwood,balm,willow ,tulip and the very little bit of Manitoba maple that comes in they are normally junk crooked from yards and sides of fields
Cabinet doors made with bookmatched panels would be spectacular.
yes for sure.
Should send you a Redwood Log! 🙃
Please!
Sad that the red turns brown when exposed to air and light.
Clear acrylic finishes helps as does clear lacquer and blonde shellac.
Aka Manitoba Maple, aka Ash leaf Maple. I love the flame figure in that log!
yes me too.
I love the flames, but I like the bug holes to remind me of the Pecky cypress. We have down here in Florida.
nice ty
Mark, with all the noise in the mill you do need hearing protection! May I suggest protection with 2way communication radio, so you and Eddie can tank back and forth as needed!
Hello from Canada.
Hello Canada!
I’ve been watching for a while now, coolest wood yet:)
thanks Steve.
the is some pretty wood some one can make cool stuff out of it
I hope to build something out of it.
Don Holden would go crazy with some of that wood.
yes for sure.
That's some knarly fun.
yes for sure.
I like that, and that pecky stuff would look good with a red epoxy pour or a contrast match even. Box elder on my look for list now.
it's very pretty.
Good job beautiful wood
thanks Tim.
Beautiful ❤❤❤❤
thanks Karen.
Looks like strawberry swirl cheesecake. I imagine a knife maker could make some amazing handles out of that.
Those were some knarly logs!
Two comments... Don't apologize for dealing with the hangups! Dealing with the hangups makes these videos VERY interesting! I'd rather see a practical solution to a problem, than see nothing but when everything only went perfect, any frikken day!

Good job!
I would love to have the little scraps you throw in the scrap pile
Amazing red streaks. Interesting.
yes very different.
Pretty red boom logs. 🔴
Ambrosia Box Elder!
Great for fine furniture oppertunties
Now that was interesting.
thanks Bob.
Good evening from Limpopo South Africa.
good evening David.
I bet your wood turners love the scrap pieces
yes they do.
The wood would be amazing for tabletop or desk top filled with epoxy.
Admire nature's flora when felling a tree that gave a painter 🎨 ideas and lingo of hidden treasures. 😊 I just need a 10 inch square piece. 😅
talk to Eddie , th-cam.com/video/g47BtRPc1Bg/w-d-xo.htmlsi=g8eu1I35Xb0rJx7T
Amazing video as usual
thank you.
Yes...that's a beautiful log! You could make a number of things with that! I wonder what a light stain would do?
not sure how it will stain up.
No need for a splash of water. That vibrant red shows through well enough on its own. That second log had to be among the most gnarly things you've ever put on the mill.
that second log was fun to saw for sure.
