Stay with 4/4 more can be made with it and I would think bigger dollar return. As a carpenter I could do a whole lot it this way.
Sorry 5/4.
Some 5/4 would be a good idea. Better to have choices. Fine looking wood. Planlng is an option as well.
Depends on your market, which you know far better than anyone out here. The 5/4 boards would sure make some nice heirloom furniture.
I think 5/4 . That log is so beautiful .
I don't remember the the last time i have seen so much figure in a log .
Can you imagine how that is going to look finished . Oh my .😊😊😊😊👍👍👍👍👍👍
5/4. Bet your phone is ringing by tomorrow with people wanting to buy all of it. The music in this video was very relaxing. I like the guitar picking one.
Once again , Thank You for being so kind enough to share your craft with me !
Thanks for watching
The beauty of timber never ceases to amaze me. Nature is indeed marvelous.
Everything is beautiful if we pay attention to it. Enjoy the natural beauty.
I love watching you sawing pretty much any kind of wood, and those new blades certainly race through everything that you’ve been cutting, but hands down Black Walnut is definately my favourite. The figure and color is amazing and thats what keeps me coming back for more❤️ Thanks again. J🏴
Love the smell of walnut on the mill
I swear t9 God, I’d take a 24”x36” slab, and just sand it, polish it, and hang it on the wall as art!
Between the steady drone of the saw, and the tranquil music you dub in, It’s great video to watch just before I close my eyes at night.
Those are beautiful boards. I vote for 5/4 because one doesn't see enough highly figured boards vs slabs.
I don’t know how I ended up at this channel, but I’m glad I did. I know my family had a big involvement in the lumber industry in the past but I never expected to be listening to videos about sawing wood while I grind away at my job. Thank you for this channel. You can bet that if I’m ever down your way that I’ll cough up the fifty to hang out and see how all of this is done.
Breathtaking patterns
I’m with those who say saw what you can sell. This is black gold for sure. Also loving how quick and clean those new blades cut.
Fantastic! Lovin' your eye for the beauty that time has expressed in the tree! And for your love of the tree itself.
Thank you for sharing your art...
Black gold indeed. Gorgeous!
Would love to see some finished project made from your slabs!
As would I
That log was well saved Sir. Top quality gun stock material, and worth a fortune!
And to think this was hidden until you unearthed it, and you being the first ever to see this beauty.
agreed, appreciate you watching,
I live in a residential neighborhood known on old maps as OAK FOREST. We have lost hundreds of 100 yro white oaks in the past 5 years. Probably all have been used for firewood. A neighbor brought home beautiful black walnut "firewood" from a large tree that was cut down on UMBC campus about 40 years ago to burn in his wood stove. It made me sick to see the smoke. With his permission I saved a few pieces, and have made pistol grips, and shoulder stocks out of them. I have also purchased black walnut and cherry, machine carved stocks and made black powder rifles using them. I really enjoy your videos.
Absolutely beautiful grain. I have an affinity for black walnut anyways. SIttin on the back porch with my grand dad as a 4 yr old boy and shuckin black walnuts. I really enjoy seein the different woods you cut up.
5/4 make the most of that wood to see the light of day.
And also very informative reading the readers comments.
Maybe the nicest walnut yet from your sawmill. Makes me think of the high end Claro Walnut for gunstocks.
That last still shot of the crotch figure, that would make a GORGEOUS guitar top. If you look, it is already kind of in the shape of a Fender Strat.
I am really impressed watching this show. He is very informative and I always learn something every episode I watch. I hope to see him on here more often!
Prettiest walnut slab I’ve seen you cut yet.
This log is fantastic and easily can see if fetching some good dollars. Beautiful colors!
I don't really know much about it, but that is one of the very best logs I've seen you mill. Never thought I'd be so entertained by this, but I'm beginning to have thoughts about saving up for an entry level mill to salvage logs around here that are being wasted for firewood, when they could better appreciated a lot longer by wood craftsmen. Thanks for the great job you've done in developing your camera and editing skills, too.
As always, thanks for sharing! I know the chances of see something as handsome as that last slab in person are unlikely, and your efforts to convey these wonders of Gods' hand are much appreciated by this grateful Texan.
thank you,
Such a lovely wood. I just hugged it boy. Thanks and blessings to you for saving it from going to fire.
Black walnut makes beautiful fireplace mantels.
I enjoy watching utilizing natural products instead,of just throwing something out. Thank u sir...what a wonderful piece of wood...I love walnut.
I am quickly falling in love with this channel, since I have a love for natural wood grain. Your skills and knowledge are amazing, now my dream is to be there when you saw into a log of Eastern Hop Hornbeam (akak Hardhack, Levelwood, etc.). Not big stuff, but it should look nice inside! Keep up the great work, mill Master.
thanks Phil,
The board is so wide with nice heartwood, my vote is for 9/4 ✅.
Whenever I’m at a big sawmill,I’m always amazed how many cool logs are kicked to the dunnage/boiler fuel pile simply because they are not optimal shape for high-speed commercial sawing operations. Some amazing stuff goes up in smoke, sadly 😞
That big knot on the very first cut you made would be great for wood turning on a lathe.
If you want gunstock blanks, you'll have to go 10/4. Some nice looking wood.
What a beautiful piece of wood. Like looking into the very soul of the tree.
agreed
There is a trend of mounting a thinner slab on plywood and doing a matching 'foldover' on the edge giving more yield and availability so 5/4 'shares' the beauty for some projects
it has been a long time since I have seen walnut that good looking.
me2
Absolutely beautiful boards. My vote is stick with 5/4 so you have more of them to sell so more people can appreciate the beauty.
thank you,
Beautiful slabs and the editing and music is superb.
thank you,
Those big knots and burls are probably worth a pretty penny to the right woodturner
The knots have the Halos around them giving a great look for the boards even on the crotch wood.... That Halos and the crotch blend in give the slab a surprising ripple in the wood as 2 water drop into a stream running from other end of the slab!!!!! I know that is mouth full but that is what I see!!!!! Very Beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Happy Thanksgiving to all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow. What a beauty! Go with the 9/4’s. It’s so wide and will make some incredible slabs. This is one beautiful piece of walnut. Stunning.
Someone suggested going back to 5/4’s once the crotch slabs are done. That would work also!
This one... just beautiful, Nathan. Really would like to see more of it. Saw it so you can make the most from it. But no matter how you saw it, this one is really magical.
yeah I may try that, appreciate it Harry,
That may be the most beautiful slab I have seen you mill. Awesome stuff!
agreed
Amazing wood
Kevin Harrell 👍👍
Stay with the 5/4. You have a 15,000 dollar log on your mill. Nice work!!!
Man oh man. When you show the figure on some of these like today, I emit a low groan as if in pain. If anybody heard me they would think its a toothache or something, but really its a groan of "ohhh sooo good". Then I laugh at myself.
Thanks for you videos.
thank you,
That grain is GORGEOUS! What beautiful find!
I am beginning to tink I should equip my garage with he tool I'd need to produce steamer trunks and cedar chests etc., what a wonderful way to close out the cold of winter and the summer heat.
Amazing slabs out of this one!
yes sir, it will get better as I saw down more,
Thank you for a beautiful, and peaceful, completion to my Sunday afternoon.
Wow, how beautiful is that Walnut log Nathan. I was quite disappointed when you got to the end of the video, I would have loved to have seen at lest the next slab to come off. Perhaps I will stumbled across it in another video. Cheers, don from South Aust.
I wish we could get boards like these i Denmark. Also enjoy your videos I sit drooing over all that lovely wood you saw up. I am a pensionered hobby turner and it hurts to see you burn bigger pieces than I can get over here. Regards Dr. D.
You have brought me do much pleasure watching your video’s, thank you from Nova Scotia, Canada.
Thanks for watching!
All I can say is WOW! what some wonderful slabs. Only wished I lived in your neck of the woods Nathan. Whoever gets those slabs have won the lottery!! Many thanks for sharing this video, it’s truly magical. Graham🇬🇧🇬🇧🌲🌳
Looks like a 3-D topographical...stunning depth
Wow..8:50 in and the 1st cut and the wood is absolutely beautiful! Then at 10 minutes and stunning is all I can say!
Oh my God!!!! it just keeps getting better and that is only the 2nd board!
Holy schnikes! That's some serious stuff. Worthy of 5/4".
Some really beautiful wood Nathan...Beautiful!
Merry Christmas Friend! I’ve throughly enjoyed watching you operate the mill. I’ve been watching for 17 months or so. I’m 46 & grew up as the son of a sawyer. My dad is known as one of the top sawyers in the southeast. He is the Wikipedia of sawmill questions. As I was watching ARMS FAMILY HOMESTEAD I wondered if Daniel had ever watched your channel & boom he rolls your name & channel off his tongue. 2 awesome men sharing knowledge.
Thanks, you too!
That came out so beautiful I hope you stayed with the 5/4
If I had been cutting seeing that much beauty I would have gone down to 3/4
Wood gives off it's own art
I for one appreciate the beauty of natural complex wood grain
Stunning. It never gets old opening a present one cut at the time. Thanks for sharing.
I'm comfortable with my 1st comment.
BUT, if you have a market for 5/4 boards, then that's YOUR ANSWER.
Now that I know more, I'd say cut thin boards from both sides AND do 1 or 2 9/4 where the figure is best.
Love those knots!!
I can see making a couple wall hangings with them.
One knot is an alligator eye. The other with 2 knots and the pointed end, looks like a scary ghost face.
Love me some pretty wood.
I know nothing about this except for the fact that wood is beautiful.
I took down a black walnut got 4 good small 4and6 foot 1 8.5 foot will take it to a mill next spring. Love the look of it.
WoW. That is some Awesome Walnut.
I would seriously consider 9/4
thank you,
That is some gorgeous stuff there, I'd go for the 5/4 to get the most out of it. Enjoyed the video as usual.
What a beautiful piece of wood.
I thought 8:50 was gorgeous... then you blew me away with 14:17! STUNNING! Best wishes from Kate in Olympia, WA. -- 11/22/2019.
TalkingThreadsMedia was
Hi, Patrick... "was" ? Was what?
5/4 those would be the coolest cabinets
Good evening Nathan those boards are beautiful. I like the idea of cutting those boards to 5/4, more boards. Have a great weekend.
thanks buddy u2
You're welcome Nathan.
Parenting done right. Teaching kids to work.
thank you,
Keep going 5/4. Beautiful wood!!
I'd cut the meat of the tree in 9/4. Then go back to 5/4 once you lose that crotch cut. That's some of the most beautiful wood I've seen in a long time. Congrats!!!
Jim Smith thanks buddy
So, 5/4 is 1 inch (4/4) with 1/4 left. Known to those of us in common man land as 1 1/4". So also, 9/4 is lumber-speak for 8/4 with 1/4 left. When reduced, would leave a common-man number of 2 1/4". Unless there is some "baker's dozen" kind of stuff implied when using "sawmill speak" that you have to be "in the know" to understand. Or is it just math that needs math to convert the numbers into understandable metrics?
Do you call it "one inch", or "four quarter" board?
I am a machinist, and I call .500 a half inch, and .375 3/8, and so on. Never understood the wood thicknesses. I don't speak in thousandths, just because that's what I work in 98% of the time. Perhaps those working with wood don't care as much, and use the sawmill speak without care, and even with a sense of pride, just BECAUSE it doesn't make ready sense.
Todd Wall they’re just fractions. In the case of lumber milling they’re not simplified. 4/4 = 1”, 5/4 = 1 1/4”, 8/4 = 2”.
Todd Wall I do agree with a lot of what you say. However, I wouldn’t take offense to shop talk- it’s basically like slang. It brings those in the know together. Outsiders have to ask questions (and usually pay more). It could be called a form of tribalism- if you’re an anthropologist.
Just to help out a little more for those who are novices at this. A 5/4 will not be 1.25 inches once it's air and kiln dried AND after it's been planned for smoothness. Taking just an 1/8 on each side when it goes through the plane, will leave you at best 1". HTH.
Unbelievable! This has got to be my most favorite log yet!
Beautiful dramatic patterns!
It never gets old seeing these black walnut logs. Very beautiful slabs.
thank you,
That 2nd slab would make a beautiful freestyle coffee or end table. Really nice wood.
The central figure looks like Edvard Munch's SCREAM painting!---OHH, the music...mmm.---Loved the closing shot...would have loved to close with Bruno 2019!
Words are hard to find to describe the miracle of this wood. Nature alone can reduce Man to silence.
I honestly believe this is the most beautiful Walnut you've sawn to date. As far as the thickness. I don't think you would have any problem demanding top price for the five quarter. But what do I know?
Nate,this log made me feel like watching Christmas gifts unwrapping. Thanks for always sharing your passion for sawing.
hey Nathan. I say stay with the 5/4. now that is some flat out beautiful grain...don't get much better.
Thats some beautiful wood. I just discovered your channel yesterday and am hooked. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching 👍👍
Mystical Black Walnut! Beautiful!
Beautiful work. It’s really nice to see wood like that coming into its own. Imagine what could emerge in the hands of a skilled craftsman.
yes sir, took a while but finally getting to this beauty, one of a kind,
An incredible log with some absolutely gorgeous slabs! 5/4 slabs for sure! WOW!
Beauty of a log.
Wow! That log alone should buy two new blades! Beautifull!!
My choice would be the 5/4" thick stock, Nathan, but only because that is what I use the most. Love all of the figure in this log so far. Keep up the great work, and Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family !!!
thank you,
Beautiful table top material.
geepers, walnut always delivers! and use your best judgement, you da man!
Some of patterns in these boards take my breath away! Beautiful!
Thought you were sawing 6 at first. The sawmill I work for only does 4,5,and 8. Beautiful stuff.
just awesome plumb breathtaking
This is wonderful wood.
If I lived closer, I would buy all of these.
Nathan, That is some really nice looking walnut. I don't even mind the knots, if they are solid. As for 5/4 vs 9/4, my thinking is you cut what sells best. My feeling is it is the 9/4. But you should always have a little of the 5/4 on hand for the guy that needs that. If you find over time that you begin to sell more of the 5/4, you can always cut more. I have a friend that makes smaller pieces, jewelry boxes, cutting boards, etc. He is always looking for the smaller pieces.
I love the work you do. 👍
Thanks buddy
I would be willing to buy his scraps.
I remember the video of that log and your trolley well. I told you to put something on that cable to keep it from getting you if it snapped. You’ve come a long way since then my friend. Different home, mill, and way of moving logs. Let’s see you beat that log.
Man that's a good looking piece of wood! Nature's art!
Wow that is some beautiful timber
I’m learning so much from your videos. Thank you for them and for taking the time to answer my questions.
thank you,
What a beautiful piece of wood!
Thank you very much!
