I think I figured out why I like these videos. It’s a real reality show. there is no political agenda. If Emerald is telling you something it’s no BS. It’s just good hard work.
Well said! Cheers
Not exactly hard on the eyes either.
@@DrCruel Only a youngster, friend.
@@Gungho1a It is what it is, buddy.
Yes sir !
Shout out to the camera operator - funny had not noticed before, because all the shows I watch - those are some super nice shots being gotten, and many are made to look relatively easy - but on second look... some fancy foot/eye coordination is going on - and super eye on composition. Nicely done.
Up here in Montreal we use it for the most important tool of all-Hockey sticks!
Remember we have 11 months of winter and one month of bad skating!
What a great pleasure to have these great & informative videos, daily, with professional, high-level production. My compliments to the videographer & editor who have mastered some very interesting & creative techniques.
Great to see you mill the hickory logs for the first time, you are so informative and always love the video's Emerald.
Hi Emerald and LCLY crew. I wanted to give you another wood to review on the Janka Scale. Look up Lignum Vitae. It ranks 19,510 on the Janka Scale. In the old telephony days, we used a mallet made of Lignum Vitae to fashion sleeves (closures) around lead sheathed cable. This wood is so hard that in the 18th century ship propeller shafts were made from it. I am luck enough to have a mallet of this wood and I keep it on my desk since it has become rare. Just thought you might be interested.
Lignum Vitae bearings have more than 100 years of proven performance with no oil or grease needed. Water/self-lubricated wood bearings remove the threat of EPA lawsuits and expensive manufacturing of toxic plastics and composites.
I am retired. I live in Illinois and do some woodworking for a hobby. A couple years ago I made an entire kitchen cabinetry out of hickory. Did a clear poly finish. They turned out absolutely beautiful. Good job on the videos and keep up the good work.
Hickory is Good Stuff and A Little Underrated!!!
Did you mill the hickory yourself or were you able to get some s4s.
It was all s4s
I should add that I still had to plane it to get it all the same thickness
@@jerrycusac8875 Did you hand plane? I wondering how hard hickory is to hand plane and/or how hard it is on a hand-plane blade.
Hickory is used for handles in many striking tools (hammers, axes, etc) because it is a tough wood that has some spring to it.
And in movies!
“nothing like a good piece of hickory…”
Hickory is also good for mallet heads and vice jaws, although it is difficult to find thick enough pieces.
I’m a new subscriber who is a retired blacksmith and woodwright. I used to maintain and operate an 1824 water powered sawmill. Please know I’m enjoying your channel and look forward to more edutainment.
Thanks Emerald, that hickory will give a planer a fit because it's so hard! Thanks for the info and the Video ladies! Hope the snow don't put the lights out again! Have a great evening! TTFN
Fantastic, no nonsense presentation with a unique cadence. The whole team is pleasant and professional. I love the content. Seeing others working with lumber takes me back to my youth in extreme northern NY state.
Wow, that heartwood is like opening a Christmas present.
Like 20 years ago I visited an Amish owned log cabin mill in Ohio. Hochstettler milling. In their office/ show house, they had a hickory floor.
I hope it gets warmer quickly! My hands and feet still sting when seeing you all bundled up!
Emerald, you have such a great youtube presence. This channel is captivating because of your appearance, your voice and your knowledge. You make lumber super interesting! My first real job was in a sawmill, a looooonng time ago. Haha. 👏🏆
I use to cut 41" hickory (billets) for axe handles. Back when every town had several sawmills.
I carve walking sticks as a hobby, the hardest woods I’ve worked with are locust, river birch and australian red gum. That red gum was a nightmare to carve!!
Love the ever-evolving shameless commerce division of Lumber Capital Log Yard! You guys deserve every extra penny you can get!
Wonderful video. From my experience with Hickory I find it hard to work with because it is very stringy like elm. That is why it is used for tools and ladders because even when it brakes it stays together so you don'tget wicked in the head with a flying mallet. We have all experienced that. Definitely love the rustic variation in Hickory from blond sap wood to dark heartwood and mineral streaks to add more contrast. Funny I have a Hickory wood coast for cups from our reclaimed wood that has a musket in it from around the Civil War time. I think I value Hickory more than most.
I always learn something from your videos. Keep up the good work and stay warm.
It is great for use in cutting boards also! I’ve made many with white oak and cherry accents! They are beautiful and durable!
I cut up a 65-inch Red Elm back in 2000 when I built my pond. it was a nice wood! I cut 200 tress that would have been under water, and we milled it all up. The biggest log was a 10,000-pound red elm log from that big tree. I used Hickory as wood trim in our new bedroom too. It has never been stained and looks nice as it is. Is that what we call a shellbark Hickory as opposed to a shagbark which is more common here in Illinois where I live.
Emerald don't let a great video get in the way of factual information. Love your videos. Thanks for educating me. Love from Australia 🇦🇺 ❤️
Just when I thought I knew everything you proved me wrong again. I’m learning so much. Thanks
We had Ironwood on the farm. It is 3,260 on the Janka scale. It would spark when cut with chainsaw.
I've some Buloke on our farm we use it for wooden wedges for axe handles the Lucas mill has no trouble cutting it 3760 👍.
I love hickory for it's rigidity, even if it's a little salty to work with.
I'd love to see a video on tree identification. I had a segment in a biology class over 30 years ago in college but it would be helpful as a refresher. Maybe have your dad go through the forest and talk about how to id in the winter and summer by bark and leaves. Hickory seems similar to other nut trees like walnut to an amateur like me.
Hickory will always have a special place in my heart. The hill I live on is called hickory hill. How about some winter hats? I know it’s too late in the season for this year but maybe next year?
Hickory is ideal for hadwood flooring. Takes a good finish, never dents and mellows over time to a beautiful, warm tan. Also, remarkably inexpensive. I don't agree with you on the furniture side. I've used it in plenty of furniture. With sharp tools, it works really well, and it's pretty stable, so you don't have to worry about it distorting over time.
Beautiful wood! Nice segway into a merch pitch!
Wow the figuring in that wood is amazing! I would love to make something out of it! Thanks a lot for sharing with us!
Wow, once the camera went in one side of the trunk and out the other side - that was magic.
WOW those would have made some awesome live edge river tables to be sure!!!!!
I have made several kitchens from hickory. As long as you have pro grade tools with all the power them come with, it works the same as oak to me. It sands very nice, and I love how it takes finish.
I have heard that it is somewhat difficult to glue but have not had any issues.
I think hickory really shines as firewood.
I’ve tried red, white and black oak, cherry, ash, cedar, pecan, poplar and elm.
Hickory is by far my favorite firewood.
Nice ax handle hammer handles 💪
Wood spoke wheels on old cars were made out of Hickory. Tough stuff for sure
I have made several cutting boards out of hickory , they will last a lifetime, beautiful also!
I love all of your videos I like the design on it thanks again for awesome video have a good day stay safe
Some years ago I manufactured and installed a huge circular decking area at the British Library in London using a West African timber called Ekki. By comparison to the hickory, with a janka hardness of 1820, ekki is 3220. The architect wanted the boards to be 4" thick with the face beveled and grooved, It was brutal on cutters and motors.
That video was all new to me never heard of that tree before. Well done and thanks for your time .
GREAT INSIGHT... THANK YOU 😊
I had some wide reclaimed beams 12" and 14" all heart hickory almost 3000 ft. Sold them to an Amish table maker. Old growth tight grain. Amazing. The Janka is an average. These were even harder to mill.
If you have never used Hickory to BBQ with before be sure to save the off cuts to grill with it is really good and adds a nice smoke flavor to about all kinds of meat's. There is a reason that many BBQ sauces have Hickory in the name. Hickory is also one of the favorite wood for tool handles like hammers, axes, mauls, and sledge hammers.
As an old shipwright from the UK we use to mill Lignum Vitae, now that was a hard wood. Leftovers were made into jewellery boxes for loved ones. No idea where that lives on the scale of hard woods.
Pecan is related to Hickory and also hits 1820 on the scale. Don’t know if you have it in Pa. or not but here on Oklahoma you can’t swing a dead coyote without hitting one. Love it’s workability and it’s final look in furniture and such.
You have bird pecked pecan with mineral and orange color?
I love hickory. We put some hickory cabinets in a coffee shop that turned out gorgeous. Sharp bits and blades are a must for that stuff.
Makes really good drumsticks for marching band, especially for the drums using the Kevlar drum heads.
Initially, the first log looked more like banana than hickory, but when it was cut - wow - what a combination of colours and textures. Had to laugh at the end when you opened your jacket and said that what was important to outside workers was attire. In the UK, any spare weight on the belly is called a spare tyre, and until the penny dropped and I realised that you meant clothes, I was looking at your lean and trim figure and wondering what the hell you were talking about.
😀🥰😃
A friend's big house in Arizona has 8.0x3.0 hickory doors in his house, with copper inlay. Kitchen cabinets match. I've got at least 40 hickory trees 60 ft and taller.
Great job on the video ladies!
just got a sawmill specifically to cut hickory siding. These logs are sooo heavy!
Those boards you were milling look like they would make a nice table top. I have not used Hickory, though, for any thing other than chunks for smoking pork shoulders and ribs. Speaking of that, those first cut slabs would make good smoking chunks.
Since every single slab needs to be moved by hand anyways, you could easily separate the waste material into softwood and hardwood without any additional effort. With reference to the former comment I made in "HOW WE GET RID OF SLAB WOOD: the mill’s main waste product", you could charge an extra fiver or tenner for the hardwood over the softwood quality due to its higher technical & calorific value when selling off.
I had no idea that hickory was such a beautiful wood , it would be tough to make a table top with something so hard.
It makes Beautiful kitchen cabinets and trim,floors.Looks great girls stay safe
I'm making a vanity out of hickory. It is tough and extremely hard when dried. But I love the color of it.
Beautiful!
You just made me go look up the hardness of the timber I mill on my property, ironwood wattle - 4050…………😂 no wonder my blades go dull so quick!
I enjoy working with Hickory. I enjoy the contrast of color. I have done 2 kitchens out of hickory, best to celebrate the contrast not try to eliminate or hide it in my opinion. Quarter sawn white oak I enjoy even more , so many great species of wood.
I have seen it used as cabinet door trim. It is great looking woood and really hard, as you discovered. Not grown in my area (Oregon Coast) but I would like to get a hunk to turn on my lathe. Keep up the good work.
Yup, Hickory is tuff stuff. My experience with hardest wood I had to walk up and cut is American Elm. That wood never broke off a cut half inch would hold a 20ft log. Crazy strong. Thanks again
American Elm has a Janka of 830. Not near as hard as hickory. It is considered a soft hardwood.
That hickory is some nice-looking wood. Your sawmill had no trouble with those logs. Cheers!
Thanks emerald and jade another informative video!!!!
I have installed lots of hickory cabinets. Some people like the wild looking grain.
Hickory is tricky to saw. Have to keep flipping it. Lots of pressure in it. Sparks fly off the blade . That's what I call pig nut or smooth bark. Try shag bark hickory. That is a real treat. Locust is fun too. Walks right off the mill.
Their so knowledgeable and friendly
Great video!
Hey, you've been running that Wood Mizer for so long that you don't even think about it; for you it's like playing an instrument. But for us, the controls look complex and confusing.
How about a video where you explain what the various controls do? A sort of introductory lesson on running the Wood Mizer.
Thanks again 👍
all the trim from the hickory and oak is excellent for smoking and bbqing. it fetches a much higher premium. if you run across any fruitwood snatch it up for the same.
Those hickory off cuts would be a great addition to your dad's bbq videos! A Lil smoke on the grill! Perhaps also a new product for you guys, smoker chips! Great video Emerald! Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪 👍
Hickory also has a very unique smell when sawing it. Great video!
Oh yeah for sure we’re check it out
You’re a wealth of information Emerald. Eastern Hophorn Beam is around 1,800. Dulls chains pretty quickly.
You are a Master of making these videos ...a lot of good knowledge and general tips ....
I have a small stand of Hickory in my back yard. The plants are too young to produce usable lumber during my life time, so I harvest 2-3 inch diameter young trees and them into chips for my smoker. Makes great tasting smoked meats!
I have yet to mill Hickory on my homemade sawmill. So far the hardest wood I encountered was Black Locust Janka Hardness 1700.
We use hickory for smoking Brisket and pork butts but we usually start
The fires with oak and we also use mesquite for BBQ
I agree! Woodworkers don’t like hickory. Not only is it difficult to mill, it’s very unstable. You can joint a board, come back in the morning and you have a banana!!
Best success in the new venture at the hardware store!
Recently, I've caught a few LCLY TH-cam shorts featuring Emerald marketing products like their new hardwood room and their stacks of wood for grilling. She is quite the entrepreneur.
Hickory also makes great Bar B Que. Great job ladies thank you.👍♥️♥️
🤘 love the choice of duty, free rock, music in this one!
Thanks for brushin that off, Jade--that was a super-showy slice--
Love watching your videos
Man these guy always somthing new and impressive !
Besides axe handles and baseball bats, I've heard that hickory is well-suited for carving, due to its durability and ability to take very fine detail.
👍👍
@@lumbercapitallogyard 🥰😍🤩💕💋❤🔥❤💝💖✌
I'll have to call a review on the work ability comment, our kitchen cabinets and my youngest sons crib/bed are made of hickory. I can comment on this because I made them in my garage, common sense and a bit of know how need to come into play when working this material. It can be bent, with patience, I made a mold and arch for the head board of the bed/crib, it did require a bit of selection, no predominant knots, and extra glue and clamping, but he results are astounding.
Just another great video..awesome content
You should mill some Osage Orange next…it grows wild in PA. I’m a couple hours from you and have milled a lot. It’s 2800-2900 on the scale. It also makes great firewood.
Get yourself a piece of Ekki/Azobe. We started using it for timber piling and its been an experience to say the least.
If you saw hickory near dark. Sparks come off the blade. We call that pig nut hickory. Shag bark hickory is a lot harder to saw. Lot of pressure in it. Some times it will explode on the mill. My 92 Lt 40 didn't offer that debarker saw. What a blade saver. Offered it as an add on many years later. Locusts it a real jem to cut too
Great video girls! Have a great weekend LCLY!
I love these therapeutic channels. Watched a dude in Maine repair antiques, a dude in Japan build houses and now im learning about the Janka scale
That is really nice looking wood. When I lived in Northern Alberta I milled some Tamarack and the different colors in the boards was really nice to see. I don't know how you can work outdoors without gloves to keep your hands warm. Awe to be young again.
Some of us just can't stand to wear gloves while working, unless it is absolutely needed. Cold is not on that list.
They keep hand warmers in there pockets to warm there hands when needed. Emerald mentioned in one of the videos they did about gear and clothing
Very pretty boards.
5:39 in the background, now that's what I like. I cut and split a nice 10" standing, dead dry Hickory last fall. I'm keeping it for a "rainy" day. We don't seem to get a lot of hard weather anymore where I am in upstate/midstate NY. Don't know if it was "Littlenut" or "Pignut" Hickory but it wasn't shaggy. Swamp hickory near the creek. Someone down below mentioned Bitternut hickory, maybe that's what it is.
Extra hard wood is a blast to work with.
Wow nice sheet
