Emerald you did a fantastic job today with this video. With all sincerity I am quite literally smarter this afternoon than I was this morning when I woke up. Me being a carpenter for all of these years doing fine woodwork never would’ve even considered why the center of a tree may produce more knots in the middle the tree. Very cool information🙂👍
emerald is a jewel, she lives up to the birth name boss man and boss lady gave her on the day she was born. clear / clearish pine boards are hard to find. it is so hard to find that we up here in connecticut have wide long clear pine imported from old growth forests from ( drum roll in the background ) the land of rutin tutin polutin pukin putin and the discovery channel show siberian cut. the show did not have to many shows but the russian Communist dictator and his american republican counterpart a mr dick potato head (a dick tater or dictator) a trumpster dumpster. and to prove that i am not a politician but want to party neutral. government issued GI Joe biden promised to withdraw peace keeping troops from Afghanistan against advice from military advisors. dum dum biden withdrew the peace keeping folks at a high cost of american lives and and Afghan folks and the impact on a generation women who are or will be abused by the talibani bananas. with the withdrawal of peace keepers the talbani claimed victory over russians and american infidels. this might have left putin with with the idea that america is lossing the capability to fight for what is right and that is evident with dumpster trumpster disrespecting veterans for being captured by enemy forces. trump pulled his dick-tater-chip or ship by disrespecting honorable senator air force pilot john mccain who was shot down over vietnam and served a living hell on earth in a pow camp in north vietnam. i heard of fly boy man or person named john mccain from another navy veteran who was on board of the us forestal when pilot john mccain crashed landed on the deck of the forestal when micro waves caused problems of safely landing john's fighter jet. the veteran who told me this and i have the greatest respect for john mccain. and no respect for dumpster trumpster. in the scale of heroes and zeroes. senator mccain gets hero status. the donald scores a zero status. sorry for humble opinion. on more thought maybe she can ask grandpa about the 60's and if he had hear the merry minuet sung by the kingston trio. they sang that we should be thankful and tranquil and calm. man has the mushroom shaped cloud and we will all be blown away. hard to believe it is over 60 years ago and we still could be blown away. by the putin support scheme of nuclear weapons or blowing up nuclear plants like Chernobyl with conventional weapons. no win all lose situation. i hope that i am wrong. i got to much fear. we have that mad mad world.
Is it possible that Emerald was even *more* polished and precise than usual explaining, in this video, all about clear boards and why knots can be undesirable? Also - she looks amazing (as per usual)
"Is it possible that Emerald was even more polished and precise than usual explaining,...." Yes. She may have been working off a script, which is fine.
We trim the trunks up 10' on our white pines so that the trunks will grow clear on the outside. I do that on my black walnuts, as well. Clear pine is worth at least double the regular stuff. Boat builders in the maritimes build dories from white pine. It is very durable in salt water.
Clear pine makes beautiful furniture with it's softness and beautiful grain, while oak will make heritage pieces that last. Another great video from Emerald and Jade.
Terrific explanation, i had never really thought about it until you mentioned the limbs falling off when the tree was young and that is exactly what happens
It’s so amazing that all the hard work now is the benefit by TH-cam before no one paid attention to that kind of work now is famous everybody want to see it Great job
I've never really given any consideration when using wood as to knots or not. If I am painting a project I will never paint without first sealing and priming the wood which will eliminate bleed out from knots. If I am applying a lacquer or stain then the character of the wood is what I want so yes the knots can be beautiful. I do enjoy the videos and have learned a lot from you as well as other subscribers as I read the comments, thank you.
For wood decoration knots add character and interest but #1 rated hem/fir for construction there's very little knots, cracks, blemishes and straight as an arrow.
You are actually pretty close on your hypothesis about the knots near the center of the logs. The center 10 to 15 growth rings constsitute juvenile wood and that is where the most knots will be. Sometimes knots will be even further out as you supposed. The funny thing about the juvenile wood is that it will shrink lengthwise as well as in width and thickness. Good job!
Is the hypothetical type. Pretty juvenile in your hypothesis, almost like we need a hypoallergenic to void out this highly educating word of the day hypothesi. But at least we all now know you are way too overqualified for what you actually do.
Lots of goodie information and great video production Em! How you come up with daily video and great content simply amazes me. You are a fantastic influence to young and old alike!
Emerald you are correct about the knots being closer to the center . the biggest clear board I have gotten on pine is 18" wide by 2" thick and 12 feet long. If you could get a outdoor wood boiler and a insulated building you can drier pine with 180 degree air in about 4 to 7 days the trick is get the internal temp of the pine to 165 for 24 hours to set the pitch so it becomes solid. There is no dry rate on pine like hard woods at a 1 percent per day drop rate. Keep up the good videos coming
Wow. Great learning class today Em! And in the outdoors and dealing with nature and our abundance of natural resources available to mankind! Good job! Really enjoyed. Thumbs up everyone! 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Window and door lambs are often clear and that is so screws, for hinges, strikes, milling guides for frames and stops, mortises for various hardware, can all be placed without encountering a knot. And,, those jambs and frames are normally milled out of 5/4 and 6/4 stock. I have built hundreds of custom windows and doors, and 5/4 and 6/4 clear is perfect. Thanks, Bossman. You are spot on.
@@bushmaster2936 KD is normal,, S4S is not always the case. Two of my local mills will surface 2 sides for me and give me a straight rip on one edge. That's all I need. Even the S2 really only needs S1. If the back face still has a bit of saw marks,, as long as the total thickness is true to my needs,, I'm good. Most of my big work is long behind me. (I'm old.) The one house,, almost 30 years ago,, just shy of 120 openings (lotsa windows) and a pair of French doors for the entry, each 3'0" X 8'0"X 2.25 thick. If you wish to spec your own,, and you are in the midwest, L.L. Johnson, Charlotte, Michigan. They can pre mill it for you any way you like,, as large and order or as small an order as you need. Devereau Sawmill (sp?) west of Lansing, larger orders. Both have mills and kilns.
Great job…in my shop I work with mostly cedar and once in awhile pine. For me the smell of pine and cedar is what keeps me going. Can’t imagine how your place smells especially when your cutting pine it has to be an incentive!
Sometimes I saw a pine and my blade gets all sappy despite dawn soap, pinesol etc..in the lub tank. What I do if I can is run an oak log right after a pine, the hardwood cleans that sap right off!
I used to a lot of carpentry for English Heritage here in the Uk 🇬🇧 They like as much of the Oak to be Knot free as these rot out the quickest. Great information Emerald.
Perhaps the two feet or so with the knots could be cut off and built into birdhouses that you could sell for a bit of extra income and help to utilize all of the lumber. Either way, it is still a beautiful piece of lumber.
You really came across as a seasoned professional T.V. personality very clear, concise, informative & to the point!!! Don't get me wrong you always do a good job but this episode really stood out for some reason... Very well done!!! GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY & THANK Y'ALL FOR SHARING WITH US... 👈 Capped on purpose...
Ms. Emerald I agree with knots add character in all boards Miss. And in My humble opinion Boards should never be stained or painted Miss, clear polyurethane finish only allow the true colors and grain show there beauty.

Emerald it's always makes my day watching you! I worked for a home inprovment outfit from many years and used to install windows and needed clear pine to trim around the inside of the windows and there were time where clear pine lumber was hard to find so i do know what you are taking about. (Petty Girl) Have a wondeful day!
Would love to have your family here in a chair class. I know this sounds crazy but if y’all have any down time during the winter we could turn some pine into a Windsor chair. Let me know. It’d make a great video
🤔... Interesting...very informative..👍 You're superior knowledge about your business and product is very impressive Miss Emerald...👍 Being smart is a very attractive quality in a young woman...

One Thing I Have Noticed About Trees And Their Growing Patterns, Is That If Trees Are Close Together When Young The Tops Can't Grow / Fill Out Because Their Surroundings Are Being Impeded Upon By Other Objects In Their Surroundings """""WHICH INCLUDES OTHER TREES!!!!!! So Therefore The Only Way To Grow Is Up !!! I've Seen it firsthand Several Times In Life!!!!!! The Only Way To Know For Sure Is Search In Arborist Fields Of Training, BUT I'm Pretty Sure That's Why!!!!!! I've Seen Groves Of Cedars And Other Species Like That. Several Times. Here In Mo. Looked Like Another Pretty Decent Day At The Office!!!!!!! Hope You Guys Were Able To Dodge Snow / Bad Weather Bullet!!!!! 🙂🙂🙂😊😊😊🤗🤗🤗🤗😃😃👍👍😇.
The sap in the knots usually bleed from the smaller knot size to the larger knot size on the board. Expose the smaller knot size of the board and try to hide the larger knot side.
Hello everybody 👋🏻☕️☕️❤️🇺🇸👍🏼please be safe and careful on our streets and highways, put your distractions down and concentrate on the road and traffic. Safe travels 🙏☕️☕️😊
I grade saw most of my stuff. That might make for a good video and maybe even something you would like more info on if you aren't familiar with it. (I'd imagine running a mill and lumber yard you know, but a lot don't know.)
As I sit here looking at my old school knotty wood pine wall and watching this video I’m wondering is there a species of pine that produces more knots than others?
She’s becoming more confident in her delivery. Keep up the great work and never stop improving!
I enjoy your videos. Besides you, Grandpa is my FAVORITE !!

In doing so, you also eliminate the "black knots" from dead branches..

Clearly the Ladies are the best mill operators and never get bored watching new videos.
Looked automatic to me, not an operator in sight.
Early western stage coaches were all built with White pine from New Hampshire at the Concord Coach company/
Looks like the blizzard missed you too.
That clear pine is gold at Lowes and HD......pricey stuff!!
Thanks for the info, Emerald and Thanks to both ladies for the video and sharing your day with us. Have a great Friday Jr Evening! TTFN

Great job, Em! I really enjoyed yesterday’s video with your Grandpa.
The knots always seem like the hardest part lol like splitting firewood at least.
But that's with the grain. But if I stomp on a stick from the side, it usually breaks at the knot.
Another informative video thanks Emerald for the information and thanks Jade for the camera work!

Notty pine is beautiful. Makes great paneling!!
Very clear and succinct, Emerald. Thanks. Try to talk more about grading lumber sometime.
Wrinkled brains full of knowledge!!! Great information contained within this one
You girls rock !
Sometimes I saw a pine and my blade gets all sappy despite dawn soap, pinesol etc..in the lub tank. What I do if I can is run an oak log right after a pine, the hardwood cleans that sap right off!
Cheap vegetable oil.
I used to a lot of carpentry for English Heritage here in the Uk 🇬🇧
They like as much of the Oak to be Knot free as these rot out the quickest.
Great information Emerald.
Knotty pine makes great paneling.
Peace on earth.
It's still have to something that one applauses and your many point special for equipment for being the best work with your woods
That was fantastic and very informative. Ladies great job as always. Thank you.👍♥️♥️
Lots to learn about about something we take for granted.
You nailed it exactly
This is one cool video 👍
Thanks Emerald for another video full of amazing info, I pray u all have a great day
Emerald, you are getting so good editing and presenting.
Beautiful ! (the Pine Log also) 😊
Great job Em.Vety informative your delivery and knowledge is spot on.
Good explanation, so well defined and eloquently explained. Well done!!!!
As you mill clear looking logs, you go from clear to loose black knots (dead part of branch) to sound knots (live part of branch)..
Perhaps the two feet or so with the knots could be cut off and built into birdhouses that you could sell for a bit of extra income and help to utilize all of the lumber. Either way, it is still a beautiful piece of lumber.
Clear pine is defiantly one of my favorite woods to work with. Great job on explaining the process. Keep up the good work and stay safe.
Used farm grain auger for sawdust

As a builder and ex sawer at Tasman plup and paper back in the day. I am very impressed with you young ladies.
Great thumbnail pic, i like the angle of the board draws the eye to subject...probably a name for that?

she has really beautiful hair
Em, thanks for the education on the clear boards, often I have wondered how they were milled. Now I know. Great job today!
To avoid bleed thru from the knots you can treat them with shellac.
Entering from the right of frame switching it up today 👍
A little charm with that lesson. You gave the public a lesson on where to shop for wood . Go where the knowledge is and ask for Emerald.
Would love to have your family here in a chair class. I know this sounds crazy but if y’all have any down time during the winter we could turn some pine into a Windsor chair. Let me know. It’d make a great video

You're such a good sales person. You're still young and learning but you are learning quite well.
Good music today Emerald!!! Good choice for the milling sequence. Thanks for a good one!!
maybe next time you could tell us the difference between a live knot and a dead knot.
just a topic sugestion for ya.

Good work and looking lovely
good job Em.

All that wood all ways look good

💚 WoW. I learned something new today. Thank You Em. (n kidz, 💚 IS my highest form of Unconditional Luv as it represents the Heart Chakra 💚)
The jacket boards are always the clearest as the limbs have come off.
Lovely Em 👼..but where's 😅.
That was very interesting info about clear boards
I usually. don't worry much about knots. My whole project is unstable!!!
I grade saw most of my stuff. That might make for a good video and maybe even something you would like more info on if you aren't familiar with it. (I'd imagine running a mill and lumber yard you know, but a lot don't know.)
White Pine Matters 😊
You can build some very elegant looking furniture with clear pine, compared to say, regular construction lumber cuts.
I like the explanation of the wood. What makes different woods preferable over others and why?
As I sit here looking at my old school knotty wood pine wall and watching this video I’m wondering is there a species of pine that produces more knots than others?
Not that I am aware of
