I used to have two cats and wondered if my neighbours ever thought of me as the mad old cat lady... but nine? Nathan, I hope you've got shares in a canned tuna factory!
After looking at that log sitting on the ground I would suggest leaving it alone, it's infested with cats!
lol
😂🤣
When I was young, we called the neighborhood caltapa ‘the fish bait tree’.
I cannot tell you how much I enjoy watching your channel! I am very close to making a purchase on a bandsaw mill, and your work and methods are inspiring. I'm learning so much, and feel I should have a notebook with me at all times when I watch you! Truly appreciated! 👏👏👏
Awesome! Thank you!
If that 880 with a 6' bar can't handle that log it can't be done. Glad to see things are progressing for you. Sometimes I think your production problems stem in part from you playing with the drone to produce the mesmerizing footage you show us. Seriously, your videography continues to get more engaging. Thanks again, Mr. Elliott, for a great video.
I got lucky today at the farmers market. A guy turns bowls with a chainsaw and I got a poplar spoon from a 130 year old tree. So excited there’s some jewels out there for sure
Great video
My grandfather kept catalpa trees in his yard because a particular type of caterpillar grew on them. We used them for catfish bait, mostly in his ponds. Interestingly, he lived in western KY, for all I know these could have been one of those. You pronounced it like he did, for what that's worth, though he may have said it wrong.
That log is the typical size of what I mill with my double ended alaskan mill. I usually quarter them, it makes it easier to load on the band mill. I have learned to come in from both ends almost to the middle and leave a small piece (about 6 or 8 inches) uncut in the center. Then roll the log 90 degrees and cut it the whole length. I take another chainsaw and cut out the remaining 6 or 8 inches out of the two halves and its quartered without having to set up the rip guide again, and it holds together while you make the final cut. You have an awesome log there, friend! Best of luck to you with it!
Hey Nate!! That is a nice Catalpa log but if you head up a bit further into the Midwest , Ohio, Indiana, Iowa and you’ll see Catalpa trees that will hit 60”. They grow the best drag gum fishing worms 🐛 that you can start picking bout this time of year if the frost didn’t get the blooms, lol 😜
I grew up in Ohio with those huge Catalpa trees and the best fish dinners, the worms were a special treat for those catfish and they could not resist
I milled a log that was 42" in diameter and 25' long about 3 months ago. I have a Timberwolf sawmill and it can handle it and even logs bigger than that. 48" max up to 29' long. That Kubota diesel engine is a horse to.
We call catalpa Flash wood. Burns Hot & Fast. Cut 1 cord catalpa, 3 oak. Pronounced "cut Al pa"
the catalpa tree has large leaves. Growing up in Mississippi, and Louisiana there is a species of worms that eat only catalpa leaves. These worms make the best fishing bait for catfish and white perch.
They do up here in Ark. too!
Got them in Texas too. Those worms are great fish bait
Just talked to a man who uses catalpa worms year round. How? He puts them in tupperware, covers them with water and freezes them! He said they last about 18 months...
Yep, growing up we had a couple on the farm and they made the best bait.
@@BuickDoc sounds strange, but if it works, go for it.
You better make sure there's no kitties hiding in the kiln before you use it!
Man that is a beautiful chunk of wood.
I think I would have assumed that the log would fit the mill once you were able to square it up but then started to wonder if you could raise the blade high enough to clear it to make the squaring cuts
Thank you Nathan! I very much enjoy your "Vlog" videos because unlike so many other TH-camrs you share life with us! Your videos are terrific and I can't for the life of me understand how you get it all done. It's what sets you apart. I enjoy your comments when you're out and about and I Laugh everytime I see "Pajama People" in the conveince stores and at red box in the middle of the day!! Stay safe Buddy!
Thanks buddy appreciate you
What wonderfully atmospheric music over the end sequence! Very high production quality video as always...
130k subs...easily should get 40-50k likes!!
I thought we were going to see you cut the catalpa
ln my life l have seen a lot of Catalpa trees but l ain't seen nothing like how huge that tree must have been...WOW....Thanks my friend...!
Be sure to follow me on Instagram: instagram.com/outofthewoodsforestry/
Being of the era of candy cigarettes and bubblegum cigars, we always called them Cigar Trees. They decorated themselves with giant heart shaped leaves, hanging seed pods that looked like 12" green beans (cigars), and kid friendly bark with limbs that called out "climb me".
I just knew that the wood Horder in you couldn't resist keeping some for yourself LOL 🤠
You sure have come a long way. Congratulations .... John 2023

Come on friends!!! Like and comment for our guy, you know....the algorithm thing. Great videos, just started watching your content, WOW!!!
Much appreciated
I lost a 60’ Catalpa tree during Hurricane Harvey. I’ve got a huge section of the base that I saved because it has a large burl knob that went half way around it.
Looking forward to seeing that big log opened up

“If you’re not following me on Instagram, you’re missing out.” Well honestly not really, I have never had Instagram and I ain’t missed much of anything yet.
Hey Nathan, what is the black cylinder thing in front of the saw blade? Looks to be about a foot tall and 6" in diameter. Can't wait to see the chainsaw mill unboxing!
debarker maybe?
@@OutoftheWoods0623 I've seen it move out of the way on a few cuts. It is right in front of the blade and the guides. I'm not a saw mill guy so I was just curious as to what it is. It is the black cylinder thing. Kinda looks like a starter standing on end.
Great video! I guess you can never get away from the flat out evil in this world (Shawn McCoin)! I appreciate the knowledge you provide and the great videography! 👍👍
I had a small catalpa tree cut years ago to see what it would look like,not to impressive until it drys and goes through the planer.
thanks for explaining sterilization.
Question for ya! I have a few standing oak trees. They have punk wood, rot, about an inch of 2ft round tree. Is it good to cut for lumber?
Wow that was a big log!! Cannot wait to see ya cut it up.
i know that would fit on matt cremona's saw mill
Who is that?
@@nathanelliott9013 another youtuber with a similar style of channel who built his own bandsaw specifically to handle 50+ inch logs from urban areas
Check out Matt’s feed, you will love his mill
Catalpa is really nice wood. Has a sort of coffee with cream color to it. I think it's really beautiful finished with boiled linseed oil and garnet shellac. The end grain is kind of crumbly, though; not great for dovetailing, but splined miters work well...
My local sawmill has it occasionally. I buy it when I can get it.
Good to know!
I have never heard of catalpa wood. Really interesting. Cool video. Thanks 👍👍👍❤️
We've always called it Catawba around here in NC. Catawba worms for fishin, Catawba County, town of Catawba & Catawba river.....
You're pronouncing it properly. We used to call them "Indian Cigar" or "Bean" trees.
I tried your drywall scraper trick for dust when i milled a log last week, it’s a neat idea!
Great to hear!
If I could offer some advice- (aslo no idea if you've milled with a chainsaw previously so if so, disregard) , BUT, When you mill with the Stihl, check on the air filter, milling can clog it quicker, also increasing the oiler on the chain isn't a bad idea. A milling chain also makes life a lot easier and keeps the cuts clean! Looking forward to seeing that log cut up!
As a cabinet maker I like poplar for drawer sides and backs I do not make the interior of my cabinets from plywood... I just do not find anything pleasing about that.. The front face.. oak, walnut ,chery whatever..will depend upon what is requested... If is to be painted the front drawer face will be at least 5/4" poplar to start and be profiled from there. Poplar shapes well it takes paint well, durable.......AND YOU ARE MAKING 2x4s? you are losing so much money...When the width of a board is so important for cabinetry...anything 14" or wider will command a premium..best price will be for 7/8" or better when bone dry. So it can be brought down to 3/4 true when sanded and finished. If you can find a cabinet maker who builds like I do .. A raised panel in a cabinet door the best width is 14" to 16" ... 18" is almost to wide for a solid panel with out backing. So anything that you can cut from Popular from 13" to 17" that has a really nice grain figure that could be used for drawer fronts and cabinet doors...That is your best market for a log like that. My very best for you and yours..Merry Christmas.

*shakes uncontrollably... KITTIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! God how I wish I could have a cat again.. It's been 14 years since mine died and my dad just doesn't want to deal with a cat box/litter anymore and there's already too many stray cats around for an outdoor one.. Besides the last stray we bonded with ended up with his hind thigh shattered by someone so I don't ever want to have to deal with that again.
Out here in Northern California in the Sacramento Valley the thing you'd have to worry about with leaving logs lay out is the damn scorpions. Sure there's black widow spiders and hobo spiders (basically a giant brown recluse) and all sorts of bees and wasps too but when my dad and I went out on base (he's retired Air Force and we live 10 miles from Beale Air Force Base) and got a couple truck loads of red oak rounds (pretty wood, stupidly hard to split.. the maul just bounces right back at you) they were LOADED with at least a few different types of baby scorpions. That's one thing I miss about Mississippi, no scorpions that I ever saw and far less spiders.. I'll take snakes, alligator snapping turtles and gators any day.
Catalpa,, I like catalpa,, beautiful covered in white flowers each spring. Great shade tree. Poplar wood,, is extremely stable once cured, cuts, sands, planes, shapes, easily and its true sterling quality is paint retention. If you are making moldings or trim boards that you are intending to paint,, interior primarily,, but exterior too. Use poplar. Paint loves to stick to poplar. My front doors,, made 30 years ago 2.25 inches thick,,, 3 feet wide, and 8 feet tall, a pair of huge French doors,, solid poplar. Has not moved even a 1/16th of an inch in 30 years. They always swing easy (a bit like swinging a vault door). All the baseboards in that house,, all the stair rails, spindles, balusters,, poplar. Outdoor fluted square columns,, poplar.
The pattern makers wood.
A question about your kiln, Nathan, if I may? I accept every word you say about how you operate it - I was a CT and MRI engineer before I retired, so what do I know? But it seems to me something is 'arse about face' with the sterilisation phase? Intuitively, the sterilisation should come first, followed by the drying phase, having raised all the water content to the same temperature? And 150F ? Is it just an industry 'known' that 130F will kill all infestations and 150F is just 'belt and braces' as we Brits say? I wonder if any higher would cause warping or splitting and why go higher if it isn't necessary? Sorry to sound dense, but it just sort of 'rang a bell' when you explained it.
PS: Now you may have only included a few seconds of it and the rest of it could have been a nightmare of backwards and forwards, but I couldn't help noticing how straight and steady that trailer was when backing up to the drop. I've been towing things for years and I can never be that accurate and steady!
Where did All the Catalp Worms Go, They Are Great for Fishing? Check it out. Thanks. Gary from Ga.
The average manicure expectedly collect because leaf superficially paint without a perfect suggestion. grandiose, helpless title
Catalpa also has extremely large leaves, and beautiful blue flowers in April/May.
At this date it is late. But let me vent a bit anyway.
I think the numbers you quoted were 43 inch diameter and your mill throat was about 34. Rather than cut the Catulpa in half use the Alaska mill to square up to a Cant. You actually don't loos much in kerf. The kerf loss goes with the off cuts as you will set the edge of the kerf width on the outside of the cant. It wouldn't matter if the kerf were 6 inches thick you would end up with the same size cant.
You'll end up with about a 30 inch cant, could be a bit larger. If the log is a bit oval and doesn't fit the mill you will not need to take off many boards to make it fit and still the kerf loss is small.
Work the trig of a square inscribed in a circle and I think you will get the idea. SIN (45°) I think is what you are looking for. ~= .7 (very rought figure). 43*.7 should be the approximate size of the cant. +/- a bit for taper and what you want to do about waning.
Love catalba butifull wood carvs nice machines easy and pretty stable to
My in-laws used to have a catalpa tree (pronounced like ka-TOWEL-pa) that was every bit of 4 feet across. They wanted to have it cut down since it was growing into the side of the garage. This was about 20 years ago. They decided to live with it when they got a couple of estimates to have it cut down. The CHEAPEST estimate was over $2,000.00, and only if the sawyer could keep all of the wood. They lived in town and the tree sat between their garage and the neighbors dining room about 4 feet away. There were also electric and phone lines running right past it. I always wanted a cross cut slab out of it for a dining table. When my in-laws moved, the new owners tore down the garage and left the tree standing. I haven't been back there in over a decade, it may still be standing.
we call them topie worm trees around here Or some folks call them ktapa worm trees ..What ever works..lol. ! & That Is A Biggggg Tree
It never fails. When you think your bandsaw mill is as wide as you'll ever need that rare log shows up and it's too big to fit.
That's what she said! Lmao I'm sorry couldn't help myself
I like the fact that you did a Cat Scan on the log before you started. You can never be too sure about whats inside.
Don't think I didn't see what u did there. Brilliant!
That is just a nice sized log for a Mobil Dennison or a mighty might saw mill the big ones that i've cut are only 44" and I could cut 6'-7' across the small end.
Sure do enjoy your videos. Thanks for making them!
Beautiful country... where in TN are you located?
The only thing that board was missing was the rotational cut marks of a buzz saw, it's so fuzzy...
Hi Nathan, I got a good friend up here in west central Illinois who runs a saw mill and turns bowls etc. He told me that the railroads used to use Catalpa to make ties. They even planted them along their right-of-ways so they would have a ready supply and there are a lot of remnants of Catalpa groves along where the old tracks used to run. Also, the green Catalpa worms are favored for fishing bait.
Catalpa trees grow very large... aka Indian Bean Tree.
How is your tym holding up? I didnt realize until the other day that I bought the same exact tractor
As a reformed offbearer I can say dead white pine was my least-hated lumber to handle, then poplar. I liked the greens & purples in poplar.
Poplar makes good wooden shacks or shingles for a roof. Swells up fast when it rains giving a better seal. At least that’s what the old timers have told me back in the day
@Out of the Woods - That log that is too big; this kiddo built his own sawmill. Get in touch! You two can share ideas and passion for sawmills. th-cam.com/users/mcremona
I’ll go with what you called that log. LOL 😂
That cool glad to see you getting a use out of that log
I was the guy that fell that log. Can’t wait to see what she looks like.
in my neck of the woods, tulip tree wood is used for trim boards. The fine grain and few knots make good trim and takes paint well. Very stable once dried. I have never seen a catalpa tree that big either.
as a woodcarver, i'm very jealous of you having a wood i've never worked before, even those barked first cuts you make to level the log on the mill.
🙏🙏🙏...kitties! Please ...names of all...?
Sir what happened to the Catalpa tree that you were going to cut in half with the chainsaw with the 6 foot bar? I was looking forward to seeing you mill that log.
Nice wood it drys nice and works nicely with pretty color and grain
Can you share a link to the video of cutting this big catalpa log? I would to watch you use the chainsaw mill to split it and see what is inside.
They are giving it the CAT scan
lol
Was there ever a video of that Catalpa being cut up?
Wow, certainly is a whopper !
Is there another way to sterilize lumber if you don't have a kiln? :)
That is one big log.
Who'da thunk watching some guy in Tennessee sawmilling would be so addictive?
And, who'da thunk that he could rile up a subscriber so bad with a simple and honest vlog title?!
Yep, talkin' 'bout you shawn "🍆👱♂️" McCoin. You need to learn to chill. You'll live longer if you do,
Thanks Nathan. Love watching you do what you love doing. Keep up the good work.
Thanks buddy. Appreciate you
Less talking - More sawing :-)
I'm anxious to see that catalpa tree being cut. When I was younger we called those cigar trees because of the seed pods. There's a lot of them here in Ohio. Stay safe. Bill
thanks Bill,
Like what you are doing.
I'll definitely wait to see the chain saw mill,
More time on your hands than brains
We used to have some of those by the interstate. We called them catawba worm trees. Yeah we're country. Probably butchered the name real bad. Worms good for fishing. Great video as always. 👍 👍
Interesting!
Enjoy it all.any family to help out.
My Dad had one in the front yard and pronounced it Ca tal pa
I have never seen one that big. I'm 64 .
show in one of tour videos how a fresh saw blade goes on
Scared the heck out of the cats. 0:35
Cats are appearing everywhere.
I wanted to see the chainsaw mill.
This was nice! And I was happy to see some of your overage finally making its way out of the saw shed & into its new space! (I love watching that cute white kitty!)---Atypical weather here, oven-hot, and some rare thunder for our coastal location.---I'm interested in seeing just what the chainsaw looks like, after that build-up!!!
Thanks appreciate you
Does instagram pay better than youtube or something? Just wondering.
Instagram pays me nothing,
Good morning from St John Parish, Louisiana 21 Aug 20.
👍👍👍👍
hi there the sawing of that log may be cheeper than the multi cat scans good luck john
How do you prevent importing insect pests when bringing in a log from three hours away?
Great production value. How long does it take you to edit a video?
This one took 6 hours 🤦♂️
Why so many commercials that you can’t turn off. Can’t watch you anymore. Sorry
cya,
