Dang man that butter nut has a very nice grain and glow to it....I don't know but that's about as pretty a grain l have seen.....l had a woodworking shop and cabinet shop back in the 1970's.....To beat all lighting struck it on a Sunday and burned it to the ground....Thanks for the video...!
For the love of God man, please share with us your spotify playlist if you have one! I never heard these bands and I am always humming them. Awesome videos with great music taste!
@@stevenmarcinkowski8577 I used to gather butternuts when I could find them, the trees are rare and I'm sure even more rare now, it's a shame too such unique flavor and amazing looking wood
When I was a small boy 65 years ago we have a big butternut tree, it produced nuts and I loved them. But it quit producing fruit and I have not known of another butternut tree since and have never seen the actual wood. Thank you.
I love watching these as they explain so much. A lot more goes into cutting the logs including considering the width, the grain, center/pith and other items. It takes decent planning and a good eye to really get the best from the wood. Nice.
Jrbr 549 wish I was a young lady starting out in life. This is what I would do. I’m good at a few things but never found my passion in life. At eighty I now realize where my passion would be. Outdoors working with wood. Nature. Too little too late. There was a time when this popped out in highschool and I wanted to take auto repair classes. They turned me down. No girls. I remember always hanging around my father while he was changing oil fixing tire etc. it actually interested me at twelve. Later in life I was on the on road had flat and was changing my tire. The only hard part was getting the the lug nuts off. I never had a lot of strength at 110 lbs but man stopped to over help to little woman I was almost trough so I thanked him and he just shook his head saying I’ve seen it all. Whatever you feel you get excited about doing in life explore it it can lead to the moon if you keep at it. I’ve always felt I never lived to my potential and for that I’m sad.
Ms Rubin I am 61 yrs old ... became a gold miner this year Dabbled with it a little on the side back in my prime Oh , I was a Superman ... now ... Clark Kent I move slow but steady ... finding and recovering gold ... a one man show I Love it ! I am also a woodworker and cannot leave it alone I am small time I find a tree or a big hunk of drift wood along the river and take it home ... let it dry out ... then I cut it up I mostly use handtools ... result ... beautiful wood Sometimes I make something outta that wood Everything from a table to the handle on a spatula It's all good
I love lumber. The look of it, the smell, the feel of it. Must come from memories of hanging out with my daddy when I was a kid. He was a carpenter, built houses the hard way...hand saw and hammer. I picked up scraps.
Omg. I can smell that wonderful fresh wood. How beautiful and God gave it to us free. To keep us warm to make our lives easier in hundreds of ways. He gave us trees
WOW what a beauty. I was so excited for that first cut to see what hidden treasure was below the bark. The color and grain is spectacular. Sure is going to make a beautiful piece of furniture.
An old timer Clyde Jenkins lives here in Pine Grove Va makes rocking chairs out of butter nut. He also makes baskets. Been making them since he was a kid. A handed down thing. His parents and grand parents were displaced from the blue ridge here when SNP came into existence. Anyways, yeah that's some mighty pretty wood you got there sir.
I did my entire first floor of our cape home with butternut.....it has mostly Died off up here in Vermont. Got some rough cut...air dried it and planed It myself...laid it with a cut nail and used biscuits very liberally! Glued the Biscuit one side only and let the other float and move as needed. Beautiful floor and wears like a white pine board floor
It is said that there is a canker disease killing off the butternut trees over a widespread area & they are crossing the tree with the oriental heartnut creating the buhartnut tree.
I know right! I like how he changes the word "pith" into a 2 syllable word. Piath.. That butternut turned out just beautiful. Love the dark grain within.
Outstanding colors Nathan, I've thought since the first log I ever opened that the customer doesn't see the best in the log , you show them what they're missing! I've been going back through your older videos and must say they get better all the time !
My Dad’s house is over 120 years old, and between the basement and the attic it has 47 butternut doors and trim including two amazing fireplaces. Beautiful wood.
Oh my, that wood is so beautiful. Look at the lines on that. I love your usual walnut slabs but the patterns on them are not what you'd see in Europe - they're wider, swirlier (if that's a word) and therefore more exotic to me, which is one reason I like watching them emerge from the log. However that Butternut has a closer, tighter feel to it and is more akin to what we're used to and love in our own woods but it doesn't grow here at all, which makes it more familiar and even more exotic both at the same time. If I had the money I'd start a butternut import business! Naturally Ms Cat would be on the board of directors. 🤩
When I worked with an excavation co in middle TN, there were beautiful candidates for lumber that were pushed into a burn pile, that is my biggest pet peeve with construction, the waste of trees, rather than have someone come in and cull out what has been pushed down, they quickly pile them up, pour diesel on them, and light it up to burn for a week or two!
I am a hardwood lumber inspector, nhla certified. I've inspected roughly thirty thousand foot Lumber for 5 days a week for nearly 20 years. And I can tell you I've never seen two pieces of lumber that looked exactly the same some look close but not the same.
I’ve been using butternut to trim out my bedroom. Beautiful wood. Has leaves and smells just like black walnut. The nuts are similar too, except shaped like a lemon. There’s not very many left, some kind of fungus is doing them in. I’ve been planting them on my place but few make it knee high. Stay awesome.
Very Interesting! My Grandfather wouldn't believe this amazing milling machines. He was a Dairy farmer and amateur woodworker. The man knew his Trees though and certainly passed that knowledge to his Male Grandsons. Thanks for this video
1st time watching something like this & the whole process is pretty amazing. The wood is just incredible beautiful! My grandfather worked in a saw mill before he went off to WWI. I can't begin to imagine how difficult the work was w/o all the new equipment! Thxs for sharing
Thanks for the video, that is one impressive mill. Beautiful colour in those slabs. You should approach the chair maker and see if you could follow the follow the log all the way through to a finished chair. That would be something .All the best
BEAU...TI...FUL...This should be a regular log at your Mill!!!!! Tell Curtis we need to see a few pieces of his finished work from this wood even though it will be a while down the road in time!!!!!!!!! Great cameo by Curtis!!!!... This is how you network by build friends and clients!!!!!!!!!!
I had a hudson mill for years and sawed a lot of lumber with it! Every log you cut in to is like opening a Christmas present! Very addicting! I am thinking about getting another mill and will probably go woodmizer this time, much higher quality machine!!
Your videos have been extremely helpful. My employer recently purchased a LT50w and I am the one he put on the machine with little more than commonsense. I’m still going through your video library hoping to find one with more info on the blades themselves. Thank you again for the content looking forward to your future videos.
I worked some in woodworking when I was younger in a woodworking mill that did archetectual woodworking & worked with some of both black walnut & butternut, but black walnut was more used !!!!!!1
The butternut is unfortunately endangered because of a mushroom like disease that destroyed the population once in 1980ish and in 2017 I believe. But yes the wood and syrup is great

I am sitting in a hotel in pigeon forge, we are here for our annual homecoming in the smokies at metcalf bottoms on the little river, my family was very instrumental in homesteading this whole area like Wears valley, Cade’s cove, sevieville as a whole, the Abbotts, Hembree, Godfrey, ogle, Reagan and a few others on both sides. It’s been cooler then normal the last few days and i hope so, also you must be in East Tennessee to get the real humidity like it is.
I've never seen your TH-cam before. It's awesome. Is what you do a generational thing? How many years have you been doing this work? If you haven't already you should do a show on your history of this kind of work. If you have already pardon me
@@OutoftheWoods0623 I'm a long time wood fiddler arounder, I "remodel" my own guitars. I like your narrative style, hearing about woods I've never used, and I love shaping wood.
Back in the 70s I was taking classes in woodshop. Great teacher. I made tables and chessboards and the usual stuff and then got turned on by the lathe. I got good enough that I was the only one allowed to turn hickory. Rounding a 4 by 4 piece of hickory on a wood lathe takes a little talent and a lot of practice. One of only two pieces I ever made that I didn't sell and still have, it was a giant club. I always tried to pick pieces of wood that spoke to me, that were special. There was one piece I couldn't get before someone else did. It was a piece of real mahogany that came from a tree that had twisted. The grain was amazing and the color was spectacular. I offered to pay the person who bought it twice what they paid and another kid offered 3 times what they paid; but, instead the guy made it into a chopping block that didn't show off the grain. It broke my heart. Either you love wood or you don't.
Beautiful views of your land are inspiring - I’ve never been to Tennessee, but sure would like to. And I had never heard of butternut wood - very nice. I really enjoy your channel!
Oh-WOW, that is some good looking wood. I've been looking at fine woods for about 40 years, and I think the hair on the back of my neck stood-up when I saw that grain come up after wetting. You need to get some more of that wood! Love the vids....keep em' comin'.
@@OutoftheWoods0623 Thanks for the reply, keep up the hard work-we like watching. I have a big tomorrow. I'll help cut the 1,400 lbs. of BBQ Brisket our local volunteer fire department is cooking all night tonight....gotta go, be there at 8:00 to start carving meat, and 400 lbs BBQ sausage too!- Center Point, TX Volunteer Fire Department.
awesome grain in that log Nathan. you also made crazy tommy's day by showin momma there at the end. I swear, I think this crazy ol' cat must think he about in love or somethin. cant wait to see the rest of that log n its longer brother get milled. n im lookin forward to seein your garden tour. happy millin my friend
I live here in CT and I had to cut down this really huge swamp maple which is what I have always known them to be called but not really sure if that's what it's actually called but anyways, I started splitting it up for the firewood and I looked over to see some kind of metal looking thing and I walk over to check it out and it was an original Derringer black powder pistol like the one that killed President Abraham Lincoln and I went crazy from excitement lol.. It was all rusted out and had seen better days but I felt like it was and still is a piece of living history that was kept in a kind of organic time capsule if you would lol.. I recently had it restored just enough to see the craftsmanship and it's now hanging on the wall and a constant reminder of what these trees might just have kept inside from hundreds of years ago. That's my ridiculous story and I'm glad to share it with everyone. Even if it isn't all that special. Edit: I just read over what I put and saying that it's like the gun that killed President Lincoln followed by I went crazy with excitement makes it sounds very insincere and wasn't what I was trying to do so my apologies for sounding like an insensitive ass.
I am a sawmill owner from Minnesota. Butternut is very rare up here. I have never even seen a Butternut log that big in Minnesota. As a beautiful log would love to sell one like it
In Wisconsin butternut is most always found on a north slope. One winter we made fire wood out of a 30" log that had died and fallen. The wood was dead wet and bit through with millions of tiny bug holes. Once the blocks were frozen they split beautifully. Wish it had been sawn into lumber.
Butternut - White Walnut - is my favorite wood to bandsaw mill. I am able to get $400 per 8' x 18" " x 2" slab. The wood is absolutely beautiful. Makes magnificent Farm house tables worth many $1000s when finished.

Good lord what beautiful wood that is! Imagine flooring made from it..
Thats what I was thinking. Big giant slabs covering the floor.
it is soft, you prob. won't enjoy it for long.
@@methanbreather That's why you harden it with epoxy
That is the most beautifully grained piece of timber I have ever seen
Wow...slap a little boiled linseed oil on the slab and just hang it on the wall!
Beautiful wood. Reminds me of some really nice Teak I've had in the past. The oranges and browns take your breath away just like this does.
I have the flu..so have time ..ended up watching tree cutting and sawmill videos.. It has been relaxing.. Nice video
My family home growing up had a huge butternut planted at the turn of the century in 1900. It still stands today.

Beautiful wood and great milling ... keep the video's coming
Thank You ! Sparrow
Thanks, will do!
WoW, never seen Butternut sawn before. Beautiful slabs.
yeah so nice, first time sawing this species,
Butternut is one of my favorite woods. That almost didn't need water on it.
Whenever I see these blanks I always think Guitars!!!
I don't know about the log but that machine is magnificent.
You sure do get some interesting wood. Many people never heard of butternut, but those were one of my favorite nuts when I grew up in N. Ohio.
The color of this wood is epic.
I worked some in woodworking when I was younger in a woodworking mill that did archetectual woodworking & worked with some of both black walnut & butternut, but black walnut was more used !!!!!!1
Man, I wish those would have been made into table tops. Such beauty
Wow, that is quite a beautiful grain.
Spectacular! Thank you for sharing that beautiful grain with us. The water at the end!!! Man, that was beautiful! Cheers
There's some lovely guitar body grain in there.
The best guitar wood is inert, no grain, the same why carbon fiber makes the best violins.
You would have an instrument that's beautiful to look at.
Thank you for building this video.
A great education on the different types of wood.. good job Out of the Woods
I hav decleared my self utube insane! Omg am watching log cutting!I even gave it a thumps up!
I know.. i'm ashamed to tell people I enjoy spending hours watching log cutting on youtube. They just wouldn't understand ;)
Same here, but at 4:41am.
lool
I rotate between log cutting and zit popping.i need help!
Wow , butternut just became one of my favorite woods. Honestly I never heard of it.

The butternut is unfortunately endangered because of a mushroom like disease that destroyed the population once in 1980ish and in 2017 I believe.
