I'm not sure why so many dislike this oak. This stuff looks amazing New link for Iron & Oak T-Shirts www.etsy.com/shop/76btshirts C-Channel conceptthirtee... #woodmizer #blackwalnut #liveedgeslabs
Hi Chuck and Deb. That was some very good looking slabs. Still in the hospital but making progress every day. Could be out of here by Saturday or early next week. Take care my friends
pin oaks are usually less desirable for lumber because of the high number of branches and knots. hence, pruning of branches, as occurred here, is necessary to maintain timber value. but even after pruning, darkened evidence of branches will remain in the wood, as your video has shown. but one person's blemish is another person's "character". as a tree, however, pin oaks make beautiful landscape/shade trees and are fairly fast growing for oak trees.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder my log hauler that picks up my uglys says he has a sale for everything but willow. I had a huge ugly silver maple log he took it no problem had a sale for it a guy makes bar tops and table tops likes it cause it’s soft and easy to work with.
Hi guys. I thought the grain on that oak was outstanding. So much character. I enjoyed the live feed taking down the poplars. Sometimes shortcuts take twice as long. Isn’t that so Chuck? 🤣🤣 Take care and stay safe both. Stan
We love that oak as well. We have some of our own, drying in the stacks out back. The best of intentions are sometime met with the largest of challenges. We won't be doing that again. LOL
I hate the pin oak tree. Leaves are a nightmare to clean up. But boy doesn’t it have some pretty grain. Cool pictures of the incapacitated pruned limbs. Thanks for another awesome video.
Hello Jeffrey. I actually like the wood, but when I talk to others about sawing it, they always tell me it's junk. I don't know why people hate it so much, but that's all I hear about it. I'll saw it any time.
@@SilverBack. I'm a turner as well, and completely agree. I have so many blanks of so many different woods. I guess I could add some of theses. We have A LOT of these trees coming down around here.
Another amazing video seeing that log reminded me of my first question to you many moons ago what is that thing that keeps going in and out lol that one shot showed how nice the debarked really works keep those great shots coming
Beautiful stuff, how I wish I had some 5 1/4 lumber out of that, love that oak in my opinion it far surpasses the black walnut... By the way keep up the good work.
When you saw heavily figured lumber like the pin oak, do you have any trouble keeping the slabs from warping, while drying. For wood turnings, I soak them in peg to help with that problem. On you scale that's out of the question. Just curious.
Hello Charles. Once the slabs are stacked and stickered, we place several ratchet straps around the stack, directly in line with the stickers. We ratchet them tight, and check them once a month th or so, and tighten as needed. This seams to do the trick
Well, I can only speak for my 25HP gas, but I use 7° turbo 739 for most everything. You might find that 4° blades work better if you have higher HP. This pin oak looked pretty darn nice. It should nake some nice pieces.
@@debfromthemill6945 Googled pinoak properties, Deb: "...much favoured by furniture/cabinet makers..." so - not ugly at all. I guess it's like that duckling. 🙂
Absolutely Beautiful Wood.
Just love the grain!!!!
We were thinking the same thing Carl. We are glad you like it.
Yes it is beautiful grain. I love it.
Thanks Carl
beautiful slab. Its like brisket used to be a not desired meat until people learned how to cook it. Awesome share full play
I couldn't agree more. You just need to learn how to make it work, and save some of that beautiful wood.
Thanks so much.
Omg that first knot looked like two angels with wings
So much character, and always something to be amazed by.
I agree with you John
So much character in the wood. I love it.
Thank you Sylvia. These should look amazing with some finish on them.
Hi Chuck and Deb. That was some very good looking slabs. Still in the hospital but making progress every day. Could be out of here by Saturday or early next week. Take care my friends
Hi Joel . I will pray that you get out soon. Take care.
Great looking oak. Will make a beautiful table top. Thanks for sharing. God Bless.
Thank you Jim. I'm hoping we can find a similar log to cut for ourselves. We want to see a piece of this with a good finish on it.
The ole Pin Oak. Yeah they definitely have a lot of limbs everywhere but as we saw, beautiful slabs. Thanks y'all, I really enjoyed 👍👍
I just don't see why folks dont love these logs. Pin Oak is awesome
Thanks Barry. Thanks for watching !
Love that log making some gorgeous slabs
We definitely agree John. Don't know why folks hate it so much.
I hope so John.

They do have a character all their own. I think slabs are the best use. A lot to see in one of them
That really did look like a strange face. The wood really did look different but I think it could grow on me.
All sorts of character in these pieces. I hope we get to see a finished piece. Thank you Paul
Thank you Paul.
Long time no Saw 😆😆😆 Just finished watching the end of the live stream. Good morning. Good luck and God Bless.
That was a crazy live stream. It was a last minute decision to do it.
Hi Mark. Thanks as always for watching.
gorgeous wood
I think it's beautiful.
Yes. I do to Karen

One thing I know is that it's good to see logs like those, being used for furniture, rather than being chopped up for firewood, or just scrapped.
Some hard maples have some beautiful grain in them. I love it myself. Thanks Robert
Why would anyone hate it. That is some beautiful wood.
We couldn't agree more Michael.
I must agree Michael.
The last couple videos of yours that I have watched. You were living up to your name. Sawing more iron than oak, though!😱
Sometimes you have to take the good with the bad. Metal can make some interesting slabs.
Sorry Charles. Thanks one thing we can't prevent.

Hi Stanley the live feed I'm glad you like it. I couldn't stop shacking it was cold outside. You take care too.
Today you cut some really unique lumber. Very nice.
Thank you Charles. These were some amazing pieces for sure.
Thanks Charles

True on all accounts. I'm hoping to get some for us to use as well.
Thank you Dusty. You can't tell what the grain looks like until you open it up.
@@debfromthemill6945 a surprise in every cut!
Definitely beautiful grain and dark tones I love it. Can you please explain why this is the most hated as stated in title?
Hello Jeffrey. I actually like the wood, but when I talk to others about sawing it, they always tell me it's junk. I don't know why people hate it so much, but that's all I hear about it. I'll saw it any time.
I have never seen pen oak before it has a nice grain I like it, that face in it is cool, that will make a nice conversion piece.
Hello Judith. I'm glad folks are seeing the beauty in Pin Oak.
I agree also Judith. Take care
11:30 thats just awesome
Beautiful wood. Nice job.
Thank you Richard. I hope people see the beauty in the Pin Oak
Thank you Richard.
I see lots of Space Alien visitors in all those slabs, hehe. oh and a couple ghouls, too.
Perfect for a table, in a haunted house. LOL.
Hi Jim. I have to check that out myself. Lol
That was a beautiful shot if the debarked
It was great shot to show what it does. So many folks ask about it.
Thanks John
Stunning Grain patterning 👍👍👍👍👍👍
We couldn't agree more Douglas.
@@IronOakSawmill Oh what I could turn out of a chunk of that 😞

@@IronOakSawmill Are you near Harwich , UK by chance lol 😩
Thanks Douglas.
I didn't see one bad slab there. Love those slabs. Oh look it's E.T.
Hello Howard, and thank you. I hope this video helps to change people's attitude about pin oak.
Oh boy. Thanks so much Howard.
Beautiful
As a cabinet maker that would be very exquisite piece for a display hutch or anything that has a clear glass enclosure
Absolutely beautiful grain
I couldn't agree more. Thank you.
That is beautiful.
Thank you Jim.
Thank you Jim
Wow that grain is very awesome
You got that right John. We may have to find some more for ourselves
Thanks John. I have to agree with you.
Alot unique grain, beautiful
We have to agree with you Brian.
Thank you Brain
Pin Oak. Wow, very nice
Thank you Larry.
Thanks Larry

Thank you John, and thank you for joining the crazy live stream today.
We are working on better camera work, and it seems to be paying off.
Thanks so much John.
Awesome woodslabs, I notice that I was not getting notification for yall video's took a look and I was unscribed and I did not do it but I'm back.
Thank you Donald. I'm hoping others like these slabs. So many steer away from pin oak.
Glad you found the issue with your subscription. Welcome back.
Make sure you hit the notification bell, and chose All.
Thank you Donald. I'm glad your back.
Beautiful stuff, how I wish I had some 5 1/4 lumber out of that, love that oak in my opinion it far surpasses the black walnut... By the way keep up the good work.
I know what you mean. The pin oak hot a bad rap. It's really nice lumber.
Turned out some pretty Slabs.
Thank you Jerry. We definitely agree with you on that one.
Yes it has Jerry
Beautiful I think.
Thank you. We hope a lot more folks see it that way.
Thank you

Looks like several bar tops ripe for study
We definitely agree with you on that.
Yes Robert
Pin oak is beautiful in my opinion.
I agree 100%. So many complain about it, but it's amazing looking
I see a frog face on last three cuts
Hey Chuck, Glen here like your pen oak slabs. I also would like to know what blades you like to use on that hardwood. I have a LT40 hd
Well, I can only speak for my 25HP gas, but I use 7° turbo 739 for most everything. You might find that 4° blades work better if you have higher HP.
This pin oak looked pretty darn nice. It should nake some nice pieces.
Hi Glen. I'm glad to hear that
Has your area been hit with leaf wilt fungus diseas, The coloration of the heart wood can be be an indication. What do you think?
I think they call it oak wilt around here. Not wide spread, but we have seen it.
Hi Manuel. Chuck has to answer this one.
Man that is nice make a great bench
That's really attractive grain. Why is it called ugly timber - to do with the physical properties, maybe?
Everytime I mention it to most other Sawyers, they call it firewood. It looks amazing, doesn't it?
I'm not sure MrPossumeyes. Maybe Chuck can help.
@@debfromthemill6945 Googled pinoak properties, Deb: "...much favoured by furniture/cabinet makers..." so - not ugly at all. I guess it's like that duckling. 🙂
look like a young one,
Question, is pin oak and water oak the same?
Why are you pouring water on the log?
What kind of oak is it?
I like to cut pin oak
Same here. I don't know why some folks hate it so much.
That's good Larry
How stable is the pin oak, compared to a white or red oak
I would say about the same.
Pin oak is a variety in the red oak family, so it has the same characteristics.
@@manuellopes3690 I agree.
Why is it "The most hated oak?"
Don't know why you hate it?
Do to defects it’s not very valuable.
Hard to find good sound guys these days.
Really top self timber in my humble opinion, not so the sound guy but your going to have to keep him though.
Why is it hated ?
How can I buy some of them slabs
@@mikeperyam2888 most people I mention pin oak to, say it's nothing more than firewood.
Your funny Ed. Lol
