Out of the Woods have you ever sawn a log that has been pulled out of a lake / pond ? Maybe something that has been submerged for a decade or so ? Would love to see what’s inside if you have a log like that .
No offense but holding info back like you said ain't fair to use disabled first responders who live for TH-cam and can't afford it or able. But still love your stuff lol got hooked when I found out you was a first responder
Oh my, how I am delighted to help support you in all your works and ways! You don’t know it, but we spend many a night together! You are a good friend keeping me and my insomnia company. I came across your channel late one night, all innocent of the whole and entire universe of sawyer and turner. What a joy, you and all your brothers are so skilled, learned, and darn right talented in what you do! I have now learned to see a tree in a whole new light. May the universe keep watch over you in all your works and ways.
Long ago I worked with a little chainsaw milled "flame" box elder and had not laid eyes on the finished project in 20+ years. Sadly, in time the red staining oxidizes to a lack luster brown regardless of finish used. Ive read a great deal about "flame" box elder. The best commentary Ive read so far was by an author that suggested if it were hermetically sealed then stored in total darkness the red fungus staining may last a bit longer but it aint staying no matter what. Fer sure gorgeous while it last.
I have some pieces of box elder and Osage orange, both of which I have read loose their color over time due to either oxidization or UV exposure. I've been testing using a combination of penetrating exterior oil, with a UV blocker, and an interior finish to seal and protect the coloring. So far I've had BE and OO sit in a sunny room, not direct sunlight, for a couple months with no color change. It will be interesting to see how they hold up after a year or so.
Nathan....than grain pattern...utterly fantastic. I keep picturing solid body guitars being made from those slabs. just imagine with a deep polyurethane finish showing off that flame...breathtaking. but hey, im just a dreamer...hey to everyone from me n ol crazy cat tommy.
I can vouch for that idea. I work for a company that builds high-end mountain dulcimers, and box elder tops are one of our best sellers. Mix it with a hard exotic for your back & sides and you won't be disappointed
I must say....you have almost single-handedly changed the way I look at trees. When I take a hike or a walk I sometimes just stop and stare at a big tree and wonder what it must look like inside. I live in the Pacific Northwest and we have the most beautiful old growth forests.
Growing up there was a lot of box elder around my childhood home. Loved climbing them till they got run over with box elder bugs every so often. Thank you for showing how lovely their wood is.
As you were looking at the rot, I thought about how to clean it out in case the other side was very good. The other side is great. It wouldn't take much to get that rot out.
Clarity of opening drone sequence is next level!?! Those slabs are absolutely gorgeous Nathan. Love turning other peoples “trash” into treasure! Keep slabbing em up 👍🏼
Between you and Stinnett Sticks...i have very little stress in my life just from watching these educational and relaxing videos. Thank you and take care.
Just discovered your channel a couple days ago, i would absolutely love to take some of the wood you cut and make a guitar out of it, just a light staining, or even just a clear coat to finish it. Just absolutely gorgeous Materials.
WooooooooooW the colors of gold, gray, white and red!!!!!!!!!!!!! Looks almost fake or man made but we all know it was mother nature and God who made this log!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The endless possibilities what one could make from the slabs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Great Job!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hope in the end you have a good yield from this. Box elder is garbage wood - it twists and splits more than anything I've ever used. I've also thrown more money in the trash with box elder than any other specie. Hopefully yours will come out of the kiln looking as good as they did going in.
Felt like Pavlov's dog -- AFTER THE BELL HAD BEEN RUNG!!! Those slabs were gorgeous, and I could not help but drool! Thank you for sharing. Best wishes from a Kate in Olympia, WA.
Cool stuff man 👍, I appreciate you're hard work to bring us videos and music that takes my mind to a peaceful place, God bless you and your family brother
Wonderful color in each slab. I would guess these we sell like hot cakes. Great job setting up the camera for the visualizations for each slab! Thank you for sharing.
I would like to know if you sell pieces that would be suitable for making a pool cue out of ? I am not sure how that wood would hold up, but I bet it would make one of the best looking cues in the world !!!
I need to find out where you are in Tennessee. We're heading your way, hopefully late summer, for a rescheduled vacation. I see a one way trailer rental in our future...lol. Wow, that is some beautiful wood.
That is beautiful wood. Wish we had this type of wood in Montana. I was wondering however why there is so much saw blade marks? Is it the type of blade you use, a dull blade or movement during sawing? Really like your channel, have learned a lot...
Box elder is pretty and works farely well a type of maple was the pith centered well ? If a tree grows at an angle the pith will be off center creating what they call reactionary wood wich will warp bad after its dried in the milling process if it isnt reaction ary you got some pretty wood dont saw much box elder
I would say that's unbeatable in beauty. But one of these days something more beautiful wi come along. Until then enjoy the beauty of this one and I will too.

a trick: watch movies at flixzone. Been using it for watching loads of movies recently.

thanks, appreciate that,
Had to wait 30 yrs though...heh..
Keep on cutting....
Wow! How breath taking am I at the beautiful natural creations. It’s mind boggling. Love it!!!!
Oh My ... that slab's like looking at marble on a church altar - beautiful.
More beautiful slabs. No matter what the log looks like when you start, we're never disappointed with the final product.
thanks William,

I love your musical, visual introductions. Art just comes out of you all the time, I reckon.
I have been watching for a while. That has to be some of the prettiest
*wife leans in to see what I'm watching *
"Any word on mama cat?"
😂
Nathan I think those slabs would make a gorgeous dining room table or two. Absolutely gorgeous wood. 👍👍👍👍👍👍😊😊😊😊
agreed,good choice,
Apple is a good looking grained wood. Hard wood to work with, takes a long time drying, but irresistible challenging
Worth the effort and time.
Nathan....than grain pattern...utterly fantastic. I keep picturing solid body guitars being made from those slabs. just imagine with a deep polyurethane finish showing off that flame...breathtaking. but hey, im just a dreamer...hey to everyone from me n ol crazy cat tommy.
Good point Wesley. I would love to get my hands on one of those slabs but being in the UK I have to keep dreaming.
that wood would make some great looking guitars
Indeed.
Agreed

My thoughts exactly. Correct me if I'm wrong, but that's where the money's at with this.
Maybe others have been commenting on your TH-cam videos but I must say you're choice of music and the information you have provided is Great.
Thanks. Appreciate you sir
Those are some truly beautiful slabs!! Wow! I'd consider myself blessed to be able to get my hands on some of those.... Awesome job and respect Nathan
I think you have made Box Elder one of my new favorite wood grains!
Nice opening shots “into the light” lovely photography.
I throughly enjoy the packages you unwrap. Thanks for allowing trees to live on for many years.
So many colors. That's crazy!!! I can't wait to move back to a place with trees
Oh Nathan, My favourite wood 🌟and my two favourite pieces of music,🌟🌟 it doesn't get any better. Thank you. 🌟🌟
I must say....you have almost single-handedly changed the way I look at trees. When I take a hike or a walk I sometimes just stop and stare at a big tree and wonder what it must look like inside. I live in the Pacific Northwest and we have the most beautiful old growth forests.
I bet yall have a lot of red woods around that area.
@@country928 Mostly big Douglas-Fir

beautiful the color just radiates.
Phenomenally beautiful just gorgeous

Thanks buddy
Has to be one of the most beautiful slabs I have ever seen. Thank you so very much for sharing your craft!
You fill that punky wood with CA glue and it will be just fine! Some of us woodturners do it all the time !
Very nice. I would have to say this log makes my top 5 list for favorite. Beautiful.
Beautiful coloring in those slabs, that's for sure.
Between you and Stinnett Sticks...i have very little stress in my life just from watching these educational and relaxing videos. Thank you and take care.
Gorgeous wood! Love the red with the blue-silver!❤️ Oooo! Kittens? I want one.😬
"That sure is real fine looking slab wood you got there, -- real fine!!"

Nice Very Nice.. The wood... the Video... the presentation.... I loved it, Kudos
WooooooooooW the colors of gold, gray, white and red!!!!!!!!!!!!! Looks almost fake or man made but we all know it was mother nature and God who made this log!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The endless possibilities what one could make from the slabs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Great Job!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh wow!!! The red veining is amazing.
Indeed. Lots going on in that log
@@OutoftheWoods0623 and did you say that was walnut or hickory nut
I confirm : for a joiner/cabinetmaker like me it's definitely firewood.
Another nice one Nathan, thanks for sharing.
Thanks buddy
Wow! That is unbelievable! Just gorgeous
The very reason I go to the woods and wonder as I look at the different trees there the beauty that God has hidden before us.
God may give provide the canvas but YOU are truly the artist!
Fantastic shop too!
What a nice bunch of wood.
Love the colors and the flame too. Bet I could make a beautiful guitar out of some of that.
That is an awesome slab beautiful colors.
Thanks. Appreciate you watching
*WOW*
Honey paused while she was reading to exclaim how beautiful the slabs were and then asked if there were more videos.
That's a beautiful log, even with the punky stuff.
Thanks Hank 👍👍
So many beautiful hues hidden in this tree.
what beautiful firewood...
I hope in the end you have a good yield from this. Box elder is garbage wood - it twists and splits more than anything I've ever used. I've also thrown more money in the trash with box elder than any other specie. Hopefully yours will come out of the kiln looking as good as they did going in.
Fantastic figuring, absolutely gorgeous looking slab's 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
You put on video and illustrate what the Lord has created and it's majesty! Thank you !
Everyone seems to love the red flame colour, that disappears with a few days of sunlight on it, correct?
Does it? I was wondering just how fast the colours were and if there is any method of fixing them.
Felt like Pavlov's dog -- AFTER THE BELL HAD BEEN RUNG!!! Those slabs were gorgeous, and I could not help but drool! Thank you for sharing. Best wishes from a Kate in Olympia, WA.
thanks for watching!
The deep woods drone shots in your last couple videos have been excellent. Enjoying this box elder, too.
Wow georgeous!
Sir. Your videos introduced me to the intro song. And few songs move me to my soul quite like that song. Love it when you bring that song back out.
Wouldn’t an offcut make an interesting rifle/shotgun stock- especially for something you would normally furnish with a light coloured or fancy wood?
Cool stuff man 👍, I appreciate you're hard work to bring us videos and music that takes my mind to a peaceful place, God bless you and your family brother
Hey Nathan, good to see you still loving your work. Nice slabs.
What's amazing is that no two trees are alike, even though they're the same species of tree.
breathtaking colors, amazing slabs.
Mother Nature has the best colors!!
Beautiful, Nathan! #KeepTheChipsFlying!
Just beautiful
Fire and carbon!! WOW, spectacular box elder!!
Love box elder. Only problem with it is how much it likes to twist during the drying process
Your intro cinematography is on point, brother. I know it's a bunch of work. Well done...
Very cool looking slabs. Might just make a cool table top with a little work and some good luck. Good job sir!
Thanks 👍
Awesome coloring.
Many many thanks
What a fabulous log!! Thank you for sharing!
thanks for watching,
Awesome
Thanks buddy
Amazing color! 🤙🏽
Nice work thanks for shearing!!
Wonderful color in each slab. I would guess these we sell like hot cakes. Great job setting up the camera for the visualizations for each slab! Thank you for sharing.
thanks Dave,
The only "fire" in that firewood is the fire in the beautiful grain!
Stuart Scott ...THAT'S A HOT ONE-!!!
These slabs would make amazing kitchen counters.
Wow those were very beautiful slabs you don’t see something like that every day.
Wow, what beautiful slabs.
I would like to know if you sell pieces that would be suitable for making a pool cue out of ? I am not sure how that wood would hold up, but I bet it would make one of the best looking cues in the world !!!
Would look perfect in a canyon ranch table
I need to find out where you are in Tennessee. We're heading your way, hopefully late summer, for a rescheduled vacation. I see a one way trailer rental in our future...lol. Wow, that is some beautiful wood.
Please do!
Those are spectacular slabs!!
thanks,
Flat out awesome!!

Dam good looking firewood boards
Wow great looking lumber nice job 👍

I really liked the music at the end, almost sounded like P. Glass.
Great looking wood.
that's dismantle by peter sandberg
Gorgeous
ty
That is some pretty wood.
Enjoyed that one, Nathan. Thanks for keeping the cameras rolling!
I made a bowl with flame alder and the red color was retained.
I see a beautiful table top out of that lumber.
Yes 👍👍👍👍
I would say that's unbeatable in beauty. But one of these days something more beautiful wi come along. Until then enjoy the beauty of this one and I will too.
Man that twist looks like the lands and grooves in a rifle.
Yes sir it does
I think it would be really cool to mount a camera on the arm of the saw to follow the cuts...Thats next level! Keep up the good work!
Lightening leaves a spiral scare like that too.
👍👍👍
Amber waves of Beautiful Grain. Great work
thank you,
Another unique video.
Thanks. appreciate you watching
Christmas in November is right! Thanks Kindly Nathan! DaveyJO in Pa.
