Watching him cut all this beautiful lumber begs the question which has tormented me for years. Why would any one paint wood?
agreed
Paint is a crime against good wood. I once built a deck at my house out of aromatic cedar. It was gorgeous. Left for college and my parents had some friends look after the house. Came back one summer and it was all painted solid blue. WTF?!?
Probably thinking it would say longer. Very costly to have real wood.
Ha! No kidding, I can't count how many beautiful pieces of furniture I've seen covered in paint.
It should be against the law.
exactly
I don't know why TH-cam recommended "some guy sawing a log", but man this is great.
Loved the "guy smelling sawdust on TH-cam" comment. Nailed it.
Thanks Nathan!
Same here just showed up and of course! Like a squirrel
Nathan - GM. That mulberry wood color reminds me a bit of butternut when milled. Can you do a side-by-side comparison for us geeks out here? ;-)
Sawdust sniffer ain't too bad for youtube.
I've seen worse.🙄
That's the kind of wood we use to make persian musical instruments in Iran. very nice.
There are Mulberry trees in Iran ?
@@charleslacombe359 sure man! have been since the beginning of time.It's an sturdy tree native to central and south east .
I look forward to the day I can visit the wonders of the Persian land of Iran. A land of mystery and wonder, truly.
@@justwondering1967 Same here, can't wait to visit. I run a resort and used to run hostels so I've met thousands of people from all around the world. Iranians are probably the nicest people.
@@saeidchangizi4296 Would love to see the construction of something like that. Traditional craftsmen are national treasures.
I own a custom-made accordeon manufactured by a traditional craftsman in Louisiana in mulberry wood. He had made one for me before in walnut (beautiful) and when he was making this one, he suggested mulberry and this creamy color is exactly what I got. This craftsman retired and passed the business on to his grandson but a fire destroyed their workshop and all their stock of wood, metal components, and tooling was destroyed. Another of his grandsons is a good friend of mine and he's asked me to return his grandfather's accordeon to him when I'm ready - the arthritis in my hands has gotten so bad that I'm going to have to let it go and while I"ll be sad, I know it's going back to the place that it needs to be.
It is beautiful wood and the sound from that accordeon just rings out. I was thrilled to see how mulberry mills out -- it sort of completes the circle for me about knowing such lovely wood and touches the heart of an old man. Thank for a special video.
Great story and thank you for sharing.
Wonder and amazement are increasingly rare emotions. It's a happy man who can throw a bucket of water on a piece of wood and look in awe.
Great comment. It's an amazing and outstandingly gorgeous world! My God surely is an artist!
why water though, won't it swell one face of the wood and cause it to cup?
@@b.scottfarthingsworth Not a slab that thick.
@@thomassnapp1341 Yeah I suppose not a 2-3" slab if it were for construction grade, but still anything thinner, a bucket of water wouldn't be smart. I build guitars and need the rough wood to be air dried or kilned before final milling, and can't have humidity introduced like that to perfectly dry wood. If I saw my milling guy throw a bucket of water on my log, he'd be buying the whole tree from me.
What IS the reason for tossing water on it?
Mulberry is bright yellow when first milled. After a few weeks exposed to light it turns a very rich brown color. It's quite beautiful.
The other day I physically told another human being this channel. Happy Independence Day all. Thanks!!
Same to you! Appreciate you spreading the word,
One thing I really like about and why I subscribed to your channel is the beautiful low key guitar music you play in the background.
I Can't stand it when other channels blast music at you while you're trying to enjoy the work they are doing.
Myself, I love the smell of fresh cut lumber you'll especially encounter at a site of a house being built.
So I don't think it odd you do as well.
You can actually tell a lot about wood from the way it smells I was told by my now deceased Step-Father who was a retired Master Carpenter.
He was originally from Maine backwoods growing up and most of his career.
The entire interior of his house was done in knotty pine with a semi-gloss varnish he made himself.
The varnish so the color of the wood wouldn't darken from air born particles from cooking and baking in his gas stove and fire place plus other particulates.
Plus it helped reflect light in a room.
Of course this is another fascinating episode from a Master Miller.
The wood smells like cotton candy when used in a smoker or burnt. I use it all the time and love it.
Mmmm.
Thanks... I was wondering what it smelled like. This guy didnt describe it too much.
I love cotton candy. I'm not one for fast food but my sister picked me up a cotton candy Blizzard yesterday. I had been craving it all year.
I don't eat too much sugar in one sitting, so I still have the majority of the Blizzard left for tonight and tomorrow!
@@WayTruthLife2100 CC is quite fun to make!
I hope you don’t cook with it, or inhale the smoke, mulberry smoke will make you gay.
Wow. That is pretty. I can just imagine after this thing has been sawed, cut, shaped and sealed how amazing the final product will look.
Watching the channel just for the beard and the accent. Well, joking aside this channel is very valuable for me as a woodworking man as it has a lot of useful content distilled from hands on experience. Appreciated.
35 years cutting wood in forest, tree lines with my dad i have never seen that either but that's one beautiful color tree.
And my first tree i cut and split was mulberry and the second was osage. Must depend on area and other stuff lol
After awhile it turns red
55 years ago I seen one similar to that . My friend made a head board , a foot board , a dresser and night stand out of an old mullberry tree . It finished a large grain . And golden yellow .
I live in Tennessee , not a native but such a beautiful state with wonderful people ❤️
@LeslieMoore I couldn’t agree more. I’ve never lived there but visited often. The people there are grand folks.
Totally agree. My parent constantly handout in Chattanooga. I also enjoy visiting that city when i'm in the neighborhood.
First off, I want to say, "nice video" and second, I never knew Mulberry got so big. I really liked the color right after your first cut. It reminded me of Poplar. I have had some Poplar that was what I thought to be some of the most beautiful wood. It had that light to dark greenish yellow with layers of light to dark to almost black purple. It all had a very low sap content, very easy to dry. I wish people had a better appreciation for wood, they take it too much for granted. A tree is a replenishable gift that God gave us if we don't take advantage of it. Over the last 50 years, I have built everything from headboards and foot boards for beds, side stands, bedside stands, coffee tables. In 50 years, I have only used two kinds of wood. Oak and Poplar. I have cringed at the thought of people painting any of them, but I know they have. If people want to paint wood, then they should choose a different medium such as Pine. Pine is a lot more plentiful. I would rather use a beautiful wood and preserve it so people can see the true beauty of it's growth. The lines in the grain of wood are much like the lines in an old man's wrinkled face. Each line tells a story, each line is a year of experience, a story of survival. Then, one day, the lines stop appearing just as when the old man dies. That is the day, that new sprouts will appear and a new life begins to start the cycle over again.
We, sadly, just cut down our 45-year-old mulberry and the base was almost 8-feet by almost 5-feet. It produced some amazingly gorgeous wood that I'll be using for some upcoming projects.
Just some really nice guitar music you have going on there.
Reminds me of Led Zeppelin Bron Yr Aur
Sound like key of G with A
I had a similar sized log that I milled up about 10 years ago. It is a beautiful yellow color that slowly changed a deep red just like it's cousin Osage Orange. The offcuts are great for smoking poultry.It'll add a very sweet unique flavor that I like more than hickory or mesquite!
I absolutely love this channel. I go down the rabbit hole on milling, logging, woodworking every so often, and Nathan is usually the one punching my ticket there!
Glad you enjoy it!
I worked in a sawmill as a young and I can tell you that there's never a dull moment, loved it.
Agreed
Wow.. I love the smell of sawdust. My Great Grandpa used to make lawn chairs back in the 40s and 50s. My Daddy made cabinets and wooden toys. It was always all over the ground when there was a Carnival in town.. great memory.
First time here and I love it already. Thank you. 🍂🍁
Love watching you work on the wood and seeing it's beauty.
Osage and mulberry have almost no sapwood. They're difficult to tell apart after milling but the osage is a bit tougher. Most of the osage I've dealt with is covered in burl, a personal favorite.
What a beautiful color and grain pattern! I clicked on this when I saw the word Mulberry in the title as I have a 42 year old Mulberry in my yard and I've always wondered what the wood would look like.
Oh that music when you poured the water just made that timber sing. Great picking. Beautiful wood. Poetic.
Thank you TH-cam algo this guy and his friends wood are just what my 2020 needed!
That is a beautiful piece of wood.. it’s an absolute pleasure viewing, thank you
When you first revealed the grain, it took my breath away! You do nice work.
Awesome! Thank you!
Those slabs will make one beautiful table. That is a rare piece of Mulberry you have there - one that you probably will not see again in your lifetime.
I saw the size of the log and couldn't believe it was a mulberry. Then I saw how the tree looked - and it made sense that this log was the base section of trunk. Seeing the slabs he got from this makes me optimistic about what a sawmill might get from the best logs off a dying oak tree on the back of my in-laws suburban backyard.
It is strange how people take things for granted, I have never even considered how much work it takes to do this kind of work, thank you for sharing this with all of us watching .👍❤️🇺🇸
thanks for watching
Beautiful area of the country you live in, loved the drone. I love all the different smells you get off wood. 👍🏻
That Mulberry was epic ❤️
Thanks for sharing 🙏🏻
Thanks for watching
Brother I have to say that you show some of the best wood I've ever seen. Love how you explain everything about how and why you cut the timber to get the best boards. I live in Warren County, Tennessee and I use to work in a sawmill. So brother thank you for all that you do and may the Lord Bless you and your family.
You mentioned Beech. I'm in the North West and while building some cabinets needed some nice straight lumber. I went to my hardwood supplier and found that they had Beech for a price that I couldn't refuse. It was straight, stable a joy to cut and machined extremely well. I had never used Beech before, it had never been readily available to me. I hope my supply of it continues.
The land, the music, the working man ... God bless one and all. The machinery is amazing also ... and that mulberry! Gorgeous!
i love the smell of small sawmills like this...they seem to have a natural earthy organic smell and air about them...
yes sir,
The smell of logging is even better. Fresh cut evergreen, the earthy smell of new road, diesel exhaust, the steam and dust behind a fat truck...heaven!
Mulberry starts at a beautiful golden color when it's first cut to boards but "tans" to a medium brown over time as it's exposed to sunlight.
Much like Osage Orange (Hedge). When new it's bright yellow but goes to a brown color with time. Heavy and strong. I understand it was favored for making bows.
It certainly does darken, and pretty quickly. It's one of the most rot resistant woods anywhere and beautiful when the grain is figured near crotches.
And here I thought Mulberry was just a bush.
The fragrance of fresh sawn wood is something wonderful. It's NOT weird.
My grandpa had 2-3 sawmills going at once. My dad owned the local NAPA store & when he got sick of the city life he'd hire someone to come help my brother in the parts store & go to the woods & cut down timber & help cut it into lumber. I totally understand today how peaceful it was to "get out of town" & go to the woods. I can remember Dad taking me with him to "walk the timberline" & get an idea of where to start. I remember the 2 - 3 big mules they used to pull the timber out when they couldn't get the other equipment in the woods to drag / haul it out to take to the sawmill.
Nice 👍
This is beautiful wood. Make sure you keep the scrap wood for your smoker. This is a fruit wood and smokes fantastic. Tell Bruno I said howdy. Have a wonderful weekend.
Hey Nathan,
If you can, request any final product pictures made from this piece or any other of your unique pieces to share with us. I think it would be cool to see.
Thanks for the idea!
Amazing idea
It would make a beautiful table top.
I know where some Mulberry and Osage Orange fence post are. They are 2 to 3 inches in diameter and have been there 60+ years. You can't pull the staples without a lot of effort. They make good clubs, hard as rock.
Sounds like they make pretty good fence posts.
The art of sawing logs. With wonderful guitar soundtrack. Thanks for introducing me to those artists. (Thanks Shazam!)
I love the aerial intros that show just how beautiful where you live and work is. Great to see Mama Cat inspecting your work too. The Mulberry is a wonderful colour, this is the first time I've seen it.
Thanks for watching
She was doing a cat scan 🤣🤣
@@johndodd8160 - Or maybe a PET scan? ;-)
That is one old mulberry tree. Just imagine how many animals it fed.
Many mulberry trees are fruitless. I have 2 giant trees in my backyard but I had no idea they were mulberry because of no fruit. One was about 3' wide and the other was split with 3 2' trunks. Come to find out there are several others in my neighborhood about the same size.
Got too old to produce much in the way of fruit.
@@dimesonhiseyes9134 yeah. But the leaves feeds about anything. From turtles to ground hogs and deer! Just about any and everything feeds on that thing.
@@spontaneousexpress Many a day in my teenage years I would climb a mulberry tree to cut leaves to feed my cow
What a lovely thought 💭
Rings of the Galaxy in that wood.
I was watching "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" videos and, inexplicably, TH-cam recommended this video. By far, this was WAY better! Simply amazing. I want your saw! lol Thank you!
Thanks for watching
Dude.. I wish I had bee boxes made out of that stuff... That is one amazing color... So jealous.. I can see that stuff polished up so shiny and having that golden color coming though... Love it :)
I freaking love this channel
Me too
I Love working with Fruit Woods
You're not kidding about that yellow!
Mulberry is a lovely wood. Same botanical family as osage orange. Both woods age to a beautiful coppery color.
I have turned both mulberry and Osage orange and like you say, they will over time change to an old copper penny look. Wood finishes, especially oil polyurethane, slow the change but the change is inevitable. If I recall correctly, the change is due to oxidation and will even happen in the dark, but light does speed up the process. I am in Arizona and mesquite changes as well, turning from a light purple brown to a dark rust red brown. Desert ironwood also changes from a bright gold to an extremely dark brown black. I have turned Cherry and it darkens too.
My mom has an old vanity mirror that has been in the family for years that is made from Mulberry. I had no idea what kind of wood it was for years - beautiful when it ages.
Osage is precicly what I thought. The collor change (copper) exposed end, then yellow in the mid. I made many long bows from osage
Pretty sure osage orange and mulberry are not the same family. Osage orange/hedge apple is Maclura Pomifera and Mulberry is Morus Rubra or Morus alba. For Red Mulberry or White Mulberry respectively. Just because mulberry and osage have similar heartwood color doesn't mean they are I the same family.
@@d-op1502 I wish they taught Latin in all schools. I didn't realize how useful it would be untill I was older.
The thing about mulberry is that it's closely related to hedge, so it's pretty hard. Makes great firewood (though a bit sparky). And as seen here, gorgeous lumber.
Nothing wrong with smelling wood. We had a senior technician at uni, who would do the same when cutting special wood, I get it. Imagine how old that smell is. Love your videos. I used to teach woodwork, now I sculpt it in France. your videos teach me a lot. Cheers, Merci!
Nice 👍
I have worked with this wood for several years now. I love it. I too like you Nathan have smelt it and it does have a diferent scent. Over time it will turn a golden brown color, but if you clear coat the piece of wood while it is still the yellowish color as seen in the video you can keep that color. I have several burl pieces that came off the tree in my front yard.
Beautiful stuff and fun to work with.
Nice 👍👍👍
Roll on to the time when we have the tech that squirts out the smell from the computer hood. I love the smell of wood being cut!
Tom, that's why we have REALITY.....get your ass off your executive chair and down to the local mill and smell it in person. MAKE THE EFFORT...
I was sawing up a log the other day,I hit something.It turned out to be a big brass light fitting that was IN THE MIDDLE of the tree!!!
Mark, I came close 35 + years ago to selling Black Walnut Trees on my parents retirement property.
(They had both passed on.)
The property was going to be turned into a Trailer development.....
I was warned if there was metal In them, nails, screws or laundry line wire or hardware the damage to the Blade it might consume the value of the log.
I'm seeing lots of Mills like this.
Do you know if;
1) with today's blade can they handle metals, not in abundance? (I am not talking about making planks out of A36 ASTM bar stock.)
2) is it possible to make a living from a Saw.?
3) I'm in Colorado Springs Colorado.
Thank you, your Friend Christopher
Over 40+ years ago I bought some mulberry lumber from an old sawyer. I built some cabinets/dovetail boxes, etc out of the lumber. The lumber started out similar to yellow poplar but later it turned dark rusty brown when the light got to it. Best wishes.
When I see the info you've posted a new video, it's like looking forward to dessert at the end of the day ... always enjoyable & worth the wait! Thanks for sharing your life with us. Many blessings to you & the family!
Never thought I'd say this to another bloke, but that's some nice looking wood.
WOW.. that’s going to be one beautiful piece when there done working with it. It’s color pop out when you put the water on it.
Mulberry does not hold that yellow color for very long, it oxidizes into a brown very quickly, need to use an airtight sealant to keep the yellow color. Most sealants are not airtight as much as watertight. Mulberry also has a very distinctive smell, I know it well... I have cut and split probably 30 or 40 cords of just mulberry into firewood in my life so far, burning it as firewood also produces a nice aroma.
They're (they are) going to put that box over there. Hope that helps.
I bought some ash boards from a guy who used to be the head of the forestry service in Missouri but now lived in Wisconsin and just messed around with his woodmizer. He had some Mulberry this big that came out of a farm home backyard that he thought was at least 140 years old. He sawed it into gun stock blanks and wanted some serious money for them. They were insanely beautiful.
I friggin love mulberry. Great lumber and great wildlife value. Hearty grower
13:03 "Yes! We'll Throw Water On this One" The way you declare that statement.... is almost like saying hallelujah! from the Pulpit
Mulberry is one of the hardest woods native to the Eastern woodlands, and is related to Osage Orange.
Beautiful wood, best cut when green, because once it dries, it turns into Mulberrycrete.
try cutting Australian hardwoods with a chainsaw... chain goes from sharp to blunt in 40 minutes.
Will the wood go purple like the end over time? Also why not remove each plank as uts cut?
@@alexanderpowell1528 mexican quebracho wood. its in the name "axebreaker". gives even aussie buloke and brazilian lignam runs for their money. unlike lignam its not endangered. depending on your source its either the hardest or one of the hardest. not sure why those idiots cant decide which is actually the hardest. some put quebracho above lignam. others dont even mention quebracho in the same list as buloke. and visa versa. its pretty damn stupid. theyre all insanely hard woods
I took out 2 mulberry trees in our backyard about 30 years ago. The first tree was not too bad. The second involved getting down to the taproot and I constantly had to resharpen the hatchet and axe I was using.
@@alexanderpowell1528 Try using a router on Ceylon Satinwood. Dulls a standard tool steel bit in seconds. Creates a real fine dust. I made a quater inch cut about an eighth inch deep, and I got about 8 inches before the fine dust filled the groove I was routing and it started burning like a punk. Need to use nitride coated bits with that stuff.
...always love watching craftsmen do their stuff...and stellar music as usual !..feel very homesick when I watch your vids....tak from Bornholm,Denmark!
Thanks for watching
That is a truly great log and man you love your work, thanks for sharing all this with us armchair sawyers.
Thanks 👍
This is the log that when you first showed it, I said would smell like buttered popcorn when you cut it. The fact that you said it had a unique smell told me that had you remembered my comment, I think you would have agreed with me. Love your videos. Keep up the great work.
thanks for watching,
Good call Franklin!
When I was a kid in N. Ohio, I loved mulberry trees, because the fruit were delicious. Birds love them too.
thanks for watching,
Several years ago I had a big mulberry in my yard, it was damaged really bad in a storm. It had to be removed. The tree was around 36" at the stump with a large root base. I cut the remainder of the stump as close to the ground as possible. The piece I cut was about 5 inches thick. I gave the piece to a friend of mine that done alot of wood working. He made a table out it that was absolutely beautiful. Wish I would have kept it for myself.
a friend of mine who did or has done a lot of wood working
Looking at wood grain is like looking at the mountains. Natural, amazing, random, ordered, beautiful.
That's about the size of my big mulberry tree. I've never seen another one as big. In 20 years my other mulberry trees have gone from about 6" in diameter to 7". Imagine how old these big ones are.
My experience with mulberry is mostly cutting for firewood.
And all i have cut had very little sapwood. I think the most was 3/4 inch . And that it does not make good fence posts because it rots very quickly. And that i always thought it would be beautiful and i was right .😊👍👍👍🍵🍵🌞🌎
I Would have thought Mulberry was rot resistant being in the same family as Osage Orange.
Wow, that is beautiful. Thanks for showing.
Thanks for watching
Great looking log... beautiful slabs.
Beautiful wood! I live in Washington State and remember seeing the logging trucks with these huge trees loses on them. They couldn’t carry many because they were so big around. Now the trucks are loaded with these small trees. Now you wonder why it takes so long to pick out lumber at the store. Thanks for sharing!
We live about a mile from a Sierra Pacific sawmill in Tuolumne County, CA. We see multiple logging trucks every day, sometimes with huge logs on them.

@@garyspecketer956 Thanks for your concern, but I just went "p" about 20 minutes ago.😁
Beech is a beautiful wood. Great for tool handles and if it's spalted makes beautiful bowls.
I think the only reason beech is not more popular is the trees tend to rot so often. All it takes is a small wound in the bark and the heartwood is gone.
@@keithstudly6071 True. I had several in my yard when I lived in PA. Several were hollow like that. On the other hand, It's where I got some beautiful spalted bowls. Just wish YT allowed replies to add photos so I could show you some.

You are so fortunate to have all these once in a lifetime experiences sawing up logs! Don't forget to count your lucky stars!
Agreedc👍👍👍
Wow. That is beautiful.
Beautiful grain. I grew up climbing a huge old mulberry tree in mommas yard but never thought about lumber.
Wow, beautiful grain on those boards! I never saw Mulberry before, I’m in the UK and used to make furniture using just English hardwoods. My old wood turner used to say to me ‘Never work with wood you don’t like the smell of!’ So nothing strange about smelling that sawdust there sir! Thanks for posting the video👍
Thank you very much!
Fantastic!! Love to see what you make from it. Keep posting... (Brighton, England)
Thanks so much!
Beautiful looking slabs Nathan. That log was unique for sure.
This gentleman could cut up 2 X 6's from Home Depot, and Id enjoy the show... very much so!!!
Good to see that the building inspector stopped by the barn! :)
Beautiful log there!
I got my T-shirt yesterday. It is awesome!
Thanks again for picking one up!
What a beautiful piece man. So many ideas in my head of what I would do with it.
I’m so glad I found your channel brother. I’m a hobbyist woodworker an I love watching how wood is milled. I’m binging your channel,Lol. Stay safe an God bless
Thanks 👍👍👍
really nice reveal
Thanks buddy appreciate you
Yes , mulberry as well as Osage have thinner sapwood than some other trees , both Osage and mullberry are photo synsetive and darken when exposed to light .
^^^ 100% ... Osage tends to turn a more orange, Mu mulberry furniture has turned a deep honey color. It is beautiful.
Redwood is also photosensitive. When building decks using redwood, it's important to not leave tools on it, as you'll end up with a tool shaped discoloration!
You learn something new every day
My purpleheart oxidized to a very dark shade. (almost a black-brown color)
Absolutely beautiful thanks for sharing
That is a beauty of a log! who ever you're sawing that for is gunna be happy for sure!
When you wet the board it reminds me of some canary wood I had years ago 👍
thanks for watching,
Yes, I was thinking canary wood also. I also see a resemblance of teak in the middle. This is a nice channel.
So how this came through my machining and mechanic recommendations is beyond me but i'm so happy it did !!! I had a woodworking passion as a kid but became a steel fabricator / machinist LOL ikr kinda went the other way on that haha . Very cool video and just between us ... I've seen some pretty weird ppl sniff some pretty weird stuff on youtube bro : ) so sniffing wood is no biggie !! Liked and subscribed can't wait to check out your other videos . Thanks for sharing !!
You can work wood too. Its just .001 in wood is 1/16" or close enough.
But it shrinks funny with season change.
Not like metal where heat changes size.
That's some nice looking wood
Agreed
I was sawing my own lumber some years ago and sawed up some mulberry ....it's exactly as shown here... I did notice it's harder to work than some woods ... I made some bowls out of it. It's def like osage
I gave several cuts of a tree out of my front yard to a bowl maker friend, we thought it was bodock (Osage orange) because of the yellow color, his research discovered the real species, He made us a bowl out of it, looked yellow, After some time, it hastened brown.
Turned brown.
The only thing I know about mulberry trees is when they start dropping fruit into the water near the Jefferson Memorial carp of all sizes show up and you can throw a mulberry "fly" to hook up with a real bruiser. They fight long and hard with a couple good runs in them. Good times.
interesting thanks for sharing,

You bet!
I have mulberry growing in my yard. Over the past couple of years, I have had to cut some after storms. After cutting it, everything is sticky. It makes a mess on a chainsaw when you cut it green.
Throw a little diesel on the blades after you’re done cutting sapwoods like this.
I used to burn mulberry and I know how dark it will get once it is exposed to the air. It really is a pretty wood.

nice!
