That is one huge apple tree. I assume you sell the waste wood for firewood, or in the case of apple or other aromatics, you make it available [or sell] to interested parties? That is some beautiful slabs you are cutting.
My dad was a wood carver years ago . I turned butter molds out of apple very dense grain .Dad carved cows and mules out of apple .I guess his favorite wood was butternut.He was the resident carver for John Cambell Folks School. Brasstown ,N.C. He passed in the early 80's. I'm the youngest of our family and in my late 60's.I have a 26 inch manul band mill. I only cut for myself. I enjoy your sawmilling. My brother had a automated Mizer I taught him how to mill.Keep up the good vidoes.I live on the Ga.-N.C. line.
I graded for 25 years .. I still do. can't see wood casually. ha..ha.. Butternut was my favorite.. Never got tired of seeimg it...every one has their favorite... I got roped into grading lots of walnut..rules are very different for it. Knots dry and won't fall out. They are part of the character of walnut.. Good video We steamed the walnut. The sap wood turned the same color as the heartwood. I once slipped in about 300 hundred feet of good ash in with the walnut. Alternate layers.. 4 quarter. The walnut stain went completely thru the ash. Was beatiful. A cabinet maker bought all the walnut stained ash. Some woman has a set of very unique cabinets. Cherry steams well too. Dyes the sap wood.
When I was a child we had an apple tree in our back garden and my mother used to graft 'twigs' from different varieties on to it. She grafted so many I could reach out of my bedroom window and choose what sort of apple I wanted to eat from sixteen (I kid you not) varieties all on the one tree. She would prune the tree every year and we'd burn the offcuts as firewood - it scented the whole house; I could smell it with every cut you made. Mmmmmm.
What a great story. Thanks for sharing. I can some what relate to the sawed wood smell factor. My dad was a cabinet maker. An aroma we'll never forget.
I have a girl that’s 9 and a boy that’s 7 and we enjoy your channel. It’s hard to find something interesting and family friendly. We don’t like to see trees get cut down but when they do we love to see them turned into something beautiful. Thank you for putting this together. My children have told me when they get jobs they’re going to but me a woodmizer hahaha
Apple, and other fruitwoods, were the preferred material for handles on handsaws; back in the era when carpenters used quality hand tools all day long.
I cut down and old growth apple tree at my grandmothers! The base of the tree was like 53 inches across at the base! I'm 53 years old and still the biggest apple tree I've ever seen! Had branches like the one you are sawing in this video!!!
Two days ago I never would have imagined I’d enjoy watching a guy cutting timber on TH-cam, but now I can’t get enough. Man your videos are fascinating.
Beautiful apple wood! Wonderful video. Thanks for doing great setups and good narration. You really give us some wonderful experience with you. Thanks again for showing this apple log cutting.
Another great video, Nathan. That log being a branch means it's "reaction wood". It could get squirrely as it dries. Hope for the best, I love fruitwoods.
Another great use for apple wood is on your grill! Dried chunks set to smoke are great on pork, fowl and fish. On a gas grill a cast iron smoker box works well and wet chunks on charcoal (just soak 'em for the time it takes to get your charcoal ready to cook, then toss them on the hot coals).
Those scraps are a goldmine beyond just BBQ chips. As a knifemaker, I can tell you that some of those small scraps can be turned into knife scales (handles). Book matched pieces 2"x 7" x 1/2" are desired. Check out some of the knife scale sites. The are also used for grip scales on handguns, which are now almost all plastic from the factory. Good Luck.
Well, I never thought of Apple wood cutting up into such delightful looking lumber. You certainly look for the very best way to cut to get the best effect Nathan. Well done friend. Cheers, Don from South Aust.
I grew up in northern Indiana and I could show you some 100+ year old apple trees that are almost 3-4 ft in width and the branches that can be about 2 ft, so apple trees can get very big. I love the way apple wood smells when it's being cut/burned and maybe I'm crazy but every cut you made had my whole kitchen smelling like apples, beautiful stuff.
I'm at home stuck working for Lockdown, and TH-cam suggested this video. I'm so glad it did, I could almost smell the freshly sawn timber through the monitor, fascinating to watch you work.
That’s beautiful wood there Nathan. I’ve seen huge apple trees here in Australia that have been planted years before near old farm houses and they had limbs like that.
Nathan I don't sub to many channels but when I do it's not only for the content it's also the person. I found your channel about a month ago and subbed after 2 videos.You have a good one and I could watch hours of what you do.Thank You Sir and Bless you and your Family
Wish I could come help you when you say you could use it. Unfortunately my health has me down, will just have to sit back and enjoy watching the fine things you do. Thanks again Sir👍
This really makes me want to just hang out at a saw mill. Hopefully once I retire and get out of the nightmare South Florida is and move somewhere north I'll have the opportunity. Looking forward to watching the rest of your videos, I'm sure they'll help in my decisions on what to look out for when buying lumber. Great video quality, editing and the music at the end portrays the feeling of the beauty in lumber. Thank you.
I was was reading the comments and had to respond, because i just moved from west palm beach 3 months ago. Back to beautiful NH in a town known for its many apple orchards. And the weather is crisp and beautiful. Its still 100 degrees down there! Summers are getting longer and hotter in florida so moving north is the way to go!
Sir, you a living the dream! Once I had a farm, lots of trees and I wished I had bought a mill to do exactly what you are doing. Oh the regrets! Thank God there are people like you, keep it up! 🇨🇦
That was gorgeous. What a floor that would make. That or the box elder from before. What a dramatic look that would give a room. Wow. Thank you for your eye of beauty.
I cut down a massive apple tree, about 80cm in diameter, i was so excited since big apple tree's are so rare....and the main trunk was almost completely hollow, except for the 2-3 billion carpenter ants that came pouring out. I was able to use some of the limbs though, but 70% of the lumber was just a write-off....
Really pretty wood! If you're interested in smoked cheeses, then maybe save your fruit wood sawdust to make delicious cheeses. Apple wood smoked cheese is particularly tasty!
Being you have a southern accent I would guess this is granny apple. A lot of times Apple will have a limb close to the trunk size so it would surprise me if it was a whole lot bigger. Very nice looking and some of the hardest wood I've seen.
Thank you for taking the time to make the videos. In this modern era of quick gratification your appreciation of the natural beauty found in wood you work with makes me think there might be hope for planet yet!!
Beautiful log. I have 4/4 spalted apple from a tree in my back yard. Very unique grain structure. The base of the tree was over 28inches. When the tree fell because of a storm. The two trunks were over 12' long. You did a great job sawing.
Apple is great for turning too. I have some short log sections a friend gave me after cutting down an apple tree and it’s great to work with and finishes beautifully. Nice grain structure and color and polishes to a real shine. Do have to be careful with drying though as checks very readily.
That is the most awesome sawmill I've seen yet, it does everything but go out to the forest and cut the trees down. I wish I had a farm and lots of money just to buy one to play with.
If you know someone who cures and smokes his own meat, that apple sapwood that you would burn would make a nice flavor for smoked meat. I worked at a meat locker and we would the wood that an orchard pruned from the trees. It is best when it is green but old wood still has flavor in it.
Beginning of this vid provides excellent example of stress in the pith area, that pith curled a lot! Apple log that size is rare indeed in my lil corner of the world, gorgeous lumber.
LOVE apple and it’s purple hues. Biggest challenge with Apple is the drying - loves to warp, twist and crack. Definitely worth strapping/banding the stack or lots of weight to the top of the stack. Love apple wood AND this video lol. Yet again, very well done Nathan 👏🏼👍🏼 (great info on milling the sweep too👌🏼)
John here the old camera just don.t do justice to how pretty that Apple is as seen by human eye. Lord Lord I love wood. To me even old pine pretty but I would love to have some mahogani from Brazil see a shoe they found monster log that was cut and fell off boat in river total like 38 super high dollar because they was cut in late 1800.s .
To remove the horns and a bit of belly, you can run the saw to where that low spot is and lower the blade until it touches. Check the depth index. Add the additional first cut to that measurement and move the saw back to the start and start your cut. No guessing needed.
@@OutoftheWoods0623 In your narration, you said you are getting good at making a judgement call. That is nothing more than an educated or experienced guess. "flip it over and sometimes get to make two cuts sometimes you'll come down and take just a little bit off these horns as you won't take off a whole lot especially the 12-inch log and then you'll come back again and make your cut to get rid this material in the middle but if you're done it's enough like I have usually one cut would get you there you just make the right judgment call and come in here and slice it off so" Great response. You could have said, "Thanks for the tip. I never thought of doing that. I've just relied on my experience and good eye and hoped I got it right." Some people refuse to learn.
That’s some beautiful wood you milled Nathan. Can’t wait to see you mill the actual Apple Tree, it will be interesting to see see how big it is. Thanks for sharing with us.Fred
Hey folks today we have Nathan Elliot on the mound known for his wicked walnut slabs and occasional straight and fast white pine beams. And the first pitch is .........whaaaaat an awesome apple change up. Wow fans we did'nt see that coming!!!
Oh Geez. Just watched your salvaging and exploring a Mulberry log video, and made a negative remark about Box Elder. The next video that pops up starts off with? ... you guessed it. Good work!
I watch this channel for the fantastic cinematography and the neat sawing you do. One small nitpick, at 5:47 "two co-planar surfaces" would be the same surface. You mean two parallel surfaces. Keep up the great work, Nathan.
Pretty wood, I have never seen an Apple slabbed out. maybe make a bread box from it, or other small items, or a sofa table with that pretty grain and color.
having dried lots of apple wood myself i think that the slab portion that contains the pith is going to become firewood. The pith in apple cracks and splits like crazy, that portion will be a warped twisted mess. the rest will need a lot of weight put on it during drying but with some luck at least a few will turn out good. Of course thats all reaction wood so it might be a nightmare to work with but considering its applewood well worth the pain.
Absolutely gorgeous wood... It must have been a massive tree for an Apple as you said. If only I lived around the corner from you.... I took up wood turning in my retirement and I would be buying up all the scraps.... Shame I live in Spain.... :) :)
Camphor too, not sure if it's up your way, invasive species in Florida, grows super fast. Being a lad of the north I was really surprised when I yanked up some saplings and it smelled exactly like sassafras.
Apple is beautiful -often with more dramatic coloring than cherry- but it’s usually reaction wood as someone mentioned and it’s the rare board that can be used full length. So, good lumber wood it ain’t, but wonderful stuff for turnings, frames, boxes, etc.
We have a wild apple aka crab apple tree here on our property and its pretty close to 30 inches at the stump. That being said it branches out pretty quick at around 6 or 7 feet. So there are some decent size apple trees out there but even on those your likely to only get 1 good saw log(albeit a short one) out of the main trunk section. The big one on our property is really pretty in tree form and thats the only thing thats kept me from milling it already. It has the telltale signs of curl showing thru on the bark on a good portion of the butt log so im almost positive its gonna make some beautiful lumber.
Bostin video thanks for making the effort,worked with apple a bit but not on that sized section.prone to shake the larger the piece.the fragrance here in England of fresh sawn apple is like our autumn damp and a little musty. Keep up the good work.regards from Staffordshire
I have found slightly better results by cutting the crown (high compression) part of the log 1st. This relieves more stress out of the log allowing for flatter boards in the pile. Though not the answer, but seems to help. I am from big timber NW Calif and bent logs usually occur from growing out of the hillside.

Apple was my favorite wood to burn in the garage when working on something in the winter on the farm. I kept it hid just for me to use, LOL
What a great memory.
All apple trees are grafted onto a root stick. I can imagine your mother had real gift for grafting though. It's a real skill.

Apple is great for woodcarving with hand tools. It holds detail pretty nicely.
The boards are almost as pretty as cherry, my favorite wood. You did a very good job on this Nathan. Have a great weekend.
thanks David,
You're welcome Nathan enjoy your time with Bruno and your wife.
2am January 1, 2021....I have no life...this is so satisfying

That is truly beautiful. I am having a day from hell, filled with pain.......I needed something of beauty to tell me God still cares. Thanks, Tom
In these trying times it is very relaxing to watch your shows thank you and be safe

Glad I could help!
Man that apple is nice. Old tree, you can see were the wood Peckers have been eating bugs. what a nice color.
I think this is the first apple I have seen cut it's is a beautiful wood I think you made a great choice in the milling good job!👍🙏✝️
Great shot of the debarker working for those of us that can't quite afford such equipment.
That’s beautiful wood there Nathan. I’ve seen huge apple trees here in Australia that have been planted years before near old farm houses and they had limbs like that.

My experience, too, but yard trees, crabapples, that have been kept pruned as ornamentals have been excellent though smallish.
The very first paying job I got was an apple tree, been almost 3 years, haven’t sawed one sense, the one you did was a Beauty for sure 🙋🏻♂️
I never even imagined what Apple wood would look like before. Thanks for sharing it is a beauty.
That saw you have too that looks awesome

Sounds like your customer is making a kitchen table.
Sweet.
I don't know much about sawing lumber, but I subscribed so I could look at the beautiful wood you uncover.
Thanks for watching
Thanks for this video. I have some old apple which was harvested as standing dead. You have given me some inspiration on what to do with it.
good deal!
YOU SHOULD HAVE YOUR OWN DISCOVERY CHANNEL
they asked I said no, lol

Maybe it’s wrong of me, but I giggle every time he says “pith”. I can’t help but imagine Mike Tyson taking a leak. 🤪🤣
Dammit, Alan. Now all I can hear is Mike Tyson. Pith on ya! 😝
I gotta go take a pith, be right back
Someone just beat the pith out of me 🤣🤣
Knock knock
Who's there?
Mike
Some of these replies are border-line PITHetic. LOL
That log is beautiful and warm looking.
Didn’t realize a true sawyer had to know so much... very cool... love the videos!!
absolutely beautiful wood. The ideas that are flooding my mind right now. I may have to get back into woodworking again.
Thank you. At last I saw how apple wood looks inside. Beauty!
John here the old camera just don.t do justice to how pretty that Apple is as seen by human eye. Lord Lord I love wood.

Hey folks today we have Nathan Elliot on the mound known for his wicked walnut slabs and occasional straight and fast white pine beams. And the first pitch is .........whaaaaat an awesome apple change up. Wow fans we did'nt see that coming!!!
That’s the first time I’ve ever seen an apple log, that’s absolutely beautiful!
You can really see the wood around the pith move when it is cut!!! The apple is beautiful wood!!
Absolutely gorgeous boards! Great job!
It's a shame this unit didn't come with some kind of a dust recovery system. Once again I see beautiful lumber. Thanks for the cool videos.
Apple would make an awesome live edge table
Oh Geez. Just watched your salvaging and exploring a Mulberry log video, and made a negative remark about Box Elder. The next video that pops up starts off with? ... you guessed it. Good work!
This video was on my TH-cam recommendations. Finally something good.
thanks, appreciate you watching,
Apple is such a beautiful wood. Thanks for showing this video. Love it!
Thanks for watching
Apple is certainly a beautiful wood and it turns like a breeze and takes a beautiful finish.
yes sir,
Beautiful Apple, Nathan. Happy New Year to you and your family !!
Apple wood was (is) used for the cog teeth on the old wooden water mills and windmills.
Good morning.and greetings again from Sachsen-Anhalt Germany
same to you,
Man, your B roll / Intro footage always draws a like from me...
What a beautiful shot at the beginning w/ the tree and sunrise.
Wow that's some BEAUTIFUL timbers!
Thanks for watching
I love your videos. The water pour with the music is always something I wait for, and look forward to. Good work and thank you.
Dude, you make it sound like you're doing what diamond cutters do. I get it.
Your work is amazing. I have to say I did not know that wood porn existed, but I am amazed at how satisfying your videos are.
Now that you’ve added to your work shop, have you ever made a king size bed for a costumer?? I enjoy your videos. Thank you!
I watch this channel for the fantastic cinematography and the neat sawing you do.
One small nitpick, at 5:47 "two co-planar surfaces" would be the same surface. You mean two parallel surfaces.
Keep up the great work, Nathan.
That sawmill is a nice piece of equipment. I usually prefer the Scandinavian stuff but yours is right up there in terms of how functional it is.
That’s some beautiful wood for sure. Thanks for sharing with us.
That is pretty !!! Look at all the different colours.
Nice.....walnut still my favorite. Hope you have a great weekend with the family....
hey Robert, could to hear from you,
I never knew that Apple wood was so beautiful.
I curse that one person that doesn't like your saw
me 2,
Take him hostage.
Apple is one of your harder woods to cut as well. It will make your blade seem dull in a hurry. Pear as well.
Pretty wood, I have never seen an Apple slabbed out. maybe make a bread box from it, or other small items, or a sofa table with that pretty grain and color.
having dried lots of apple wood myself i think that the slab portion that contains the pith is going to become firewood. The pith in apple cracks and splits like crazy, that portion will be a warped twisted mess. the rest will need a lot of weight put on it during drying but with some luck at least a few will turn out good. Of course thats all reaction wood so it might be a nightmare to work with but considering its applewood well worth the pain.
Ever explained it using a banana before. My gym teacher did. Seriously that’s one beautiful machine.
I LIKE THE SAWMILL MACHINE THE SAME AS YOU ARE USING
the milled wood and the trimmed log looked so pretty. the parent tree must be wonderful to see.
That box elder is absolutely beautiful!!
ty
Absolutely gorgeous wood... It must have been a massive tree for an Apple as you said. If only I lived around the corner from you.... I took up wood turning in my retirement and I would be buying up all the scraps.... Shame I live in Spain.... :) :)
If you can find sassafras to cut, you will just love the root beer smell.
have done that in the past. done a video on it a few months ago,
Camphor too, not sure if it's up your way, invasive species in Florida, grows super fast. Being a lad of the north I was really surprised when I yanked up some saplings and it smelled exactly like sassafras.
Fruit trees always if some great looking grain that’s nice piece of lumber that machine sure gets it done!
great video. great shot placement and editing
Apple is beautiful -often with more dramatic coloring than cherry- but it’s usually reaction wood as someone mentioned and it’s the rare board that can be used full length. So, good lumber wood it ain’t, but wonderful stuff for turnings, frames, boxes, etc.
Thanks for sharing!
I made a cane out of apple. Got a lot of compliments. Love the grain
We have a wild apple aka crab apple tree here on our property and its pretty close to 30 inches at the stump. That being said it branches out pretty quick at around 6 or 7 feet. So there are some decent size apple trees out there but even on those your likely to only get 1 good saw log(albeit a short one) out of the main trunk section. The big one on our property is really pretty in tree form and thats the only thing thats kept me from milling it already. It has the telltale signs of curl showing thru on the bark on a good portion of the butt log so im almost positive its gonna make some beautiful lumber.
Bostin video thanks for making the effort,worked with apple a bit but not on that sized section.prone to shake the larger the piece.the fragrance here in England of fresh sawn apple is like our autumn damp and a little musty. Keep up the good work.regards from Staffordshire
I have found slightly better results by cutting the crown (high compression) part of the log 1st. This relieves more stress out of the log allowing for flatter boards in the pile. Though not the answer, but seems to help. I am from big timber NW Calif and bent logs usually occur from growing out of the hillside.
you are my favorite channel on you tube. excellent job.
