Oh gosh, she's gorgeous and knowledgeable on her craft. I think I'm in love!!!!
What a great job you have. I love wood! I love cutting it, building with it, walking in the woods and smelling pine. This is a fun channel, but I know how hard you work. Nice job
Thanks!
One of these days….many years from now!..you will look back on these videos and a big smile will come across your face!
seeing the blade change was cool, lots of people don't know anything about this sort of equipment
Supporting small businesses is a good thing, I do whenever I can !
6 x 6, 6 x 8 , 8 x 8 and up 12 x12 are used for beams or support beams for houses, boat docks, and other uses. I had 6 x 6 beams for my floor rafters in my house.
Support beams are vertical and used for stilts in high flood areas.
Great vlog!! Red Oak is a beautiful wood when slabbed as you have done!! Keep up the great videos!
Great intro Emrald, have a great weekend. That was some beautiful looking wood.
Holy mackerel! your vid skills keep getting better....the shot down the flitches was the berries. I also liked the cable cage un snailing.
you girls rock!!! given all that is going on in the world i very much enjoy these videos ...you do an awesome job!!! both in producing the videos and your work
big congrats to your whole family and keep it up 🌎
P.S. ..that is a nice piece of wood!!!
best from Maine
That's a nice touch with the Dutch bonnet. Looks good! yea, the oak too...!
Working shutters built from oak flitches, bark side out perfect for the cabin look so popular. And great side project.
5:11 "Take a good look at these, these are absolutely gorgeous." I was already looking at something absolutely gorgeous.
You have such an amazing, talented family. You as a father (boss man) should be ecstatic and VERY proud of what your children are becoming. I started watching your guys videos a few weeks ago and very much enjoy seeing your guys operation. I’m in MI and have been looking at doing something similar to what you’re doing, mainly because I have 11 acres of nothing but huge black walnuts and oaks which the canopies are so large it’s causing root rot on a lot of the trees because rain falls but doesn’t dry up because the sun can’t get through. I sold a couple of the Black Walnuts a couple years ago and made some decent cash, BUT found out that I got bent over the stump if ya know what I mean. I’m a disabled veteran that was medically retired and I’m trying to figure out what to do with the rest of my life, hints why I’ve been looking at doing saw-milling. Not sure if you’d be interested in any Black Walnut or Oak, but MI isn’t TO FAR lol.
In watching an older video (Da Boss man) answering QnA’s while delivering a load of fire wood, I think you guys doing maybe 1 a quarter would be AWESOME, I actually learned a bit. Wish I were a younger buck lol, as I would have a LOT to offer the family. As for da girls, make a list, similar to buying a house or vehicle of EVERYTHING you want in a relationship and DON’T settle for anything less. You both are very smart, beautiful and have a lot to offer THE RIGHT PERSON, you deserve only the best. Good luck to you all, stay safe….. hope to see more GREAT videos!!!
Cheers from Ypsilanti!

Oak is my favorite wood. I make furniture. Those boards are gold! Wish I were close enough to come get them!
We had to bang out four red oak 6x6's not too long ago. The big thing with oak is that the ends have to be immediately sealed once it's cut, to prevent wind-checking. Keep up the good work! -Andy
About the wind-checking…. Will you explain this more in depth?
@Star Navigator Wind-checking is a misnomer because technically it is a curved shake (crack) that follows the grain around the inside of the log. It's common in Hemlock. Any log species is made up of thousands of axial fibrous tubes that run down the length of the log axially. When the trees are felled, they are full of moisture/water-weight. Depending on the weather/humidity/wind, that moisture propagates down the tube and is "blown out" the cut-ends of the logs. The end few inches of the logs can dry out incredibly quickly on sunny/windy days. The result of that drying is that the wood "wants" to shrink, but it can't because of the section-thickness of the log. It puts the log-end in a state of tension, and the wood fibers shear apart into radial cracks. It's very common in Ash, Red Oak, and Cherry. The main way to fight the crack propagation is to immediately seal the log ends with a non-permeable liquid/paint so that the water can't be lost rapidly over the first few days after felling. One of the first questions we ask when someone wants us to buy logs is how long ago they were felled. Ideally they are cut the same day, come right off the log landing in the forest, and straight to our mill where we seal all the log ends. Hope that helps. -Andy
@@cripplecreeksawmill WOW!!! Thank you so very much for replying!! This was a true education for me! I had to screen shot your reply to save it for hopefully the future!!! I am completely fascinated with the whole wood industry from felling to firewood and boards the works! I’m actually going to buy my very first chain saw today!!! A neighbor of mine he offered some tips and help me out getting safe with it and has some smaller logs for me to practice on. He said “Now don’t get one of them big bars!!” Lol I’m 4’11 AND 3/4 tall…… yes the 3/4” is important to me lol 😝!!
Thank you again Andy!!
~Star 💫
@Star Navigator Not a problem at all Star, I'm happy to help. The best bit of advice I can give you regarding your new chainsaw was what I was advised when I first started using them many moons ago: be incredibly careful or touching only the tip of the bar against the log. The chain runs down over the tip, and if only the tip contacts the wood when you are moving/repositioning the saw, it will violently throw the saw upwards/back at your upper body. Best of luck! -Andy
@@cripplecreeksawmill Absolutely Mr. Andy!!! Picked up a 545 MK II… came with a 20” bar and chain….. sure is pretty!!! I need to get her all dirty!
I did read the manual cover to cover and will again in the morning. I did see what you are talking about the tip thing… I’m not afraid of the saw just a healthy respect already for it…. And that dang tip have to keep my eyes where it is for sure!
Sure wish you lived down the way I’d be over picking your brain lol!
~Star 💫
Gorgeous wood!
sure you're looking at the wood
@@Muteddisk Of course the lady's not hard to look at either!
Stunningly beautiful the Oak. Thank you
always fun to watch ----- thank you
Sliced through it like a hot knife through butter! Nicely done!
That is some great looking pieces! Good luck!
" Morior Invictus " , victory or death or also " dying undefeated ". That's a strong motto Em. Being home schooled was the best thing that happen to you guys , of course it doesn't hurt to have good leaders like your parents. Keep up the good work.
The girls speak Latin and can quote from memory more sonnets than I can count. I am a proud father. Boss Man.
@@KenBreon The other day I thought Terri was calling me Boss Man, now I realize the Boss Man is using Terri's account.
I looked it up as well. So cool 😎
@@KenBreon Laurence Binyon's english translation of Dante's Divine Comedy shaped my life when I was in my 20's. The girls can skip right to the mother tongue.

Nice oak is gorgeous. Thank you. Have a great weekend
WOW Really nice looking wood and great color. Have a nice week.
I'm so proud of you ladies 💕👍😊
I used to work in sawmill it was hard work but fun lol
Beautiful log / Beam !!!
Another great video. Good to see you doing some hardwood. Love the color and pattern in that oak. Would like to see more live edge cutting. Keep up the good work. I enjoy watching your videos.
Another great video production,Emerald. Oak is beautiful wood but expensive due to high demand for furniture making ,etc. Have watched other saw mill videos but yours is the first one I subscribed to. 👍👍👍
Very good video, nice looking oak, you're right, that will make beautiful shelves thanks for sharing Emerald
Those would make some nice book matching.
Love the colour of the wood.
Great to see subscriber numbers going up !!! Hopefully you'll reach 30k soon.
Friday is always a great day of the week. 😀
Enjoy the weekend. Boss Man.
very beatiful slabs of red oak, great job at the cut.
Girls, thanks for keeping your hair up. You both hav3 beautiful hair and it’d break many a heart if it was damaged. Your both the salt of the earth, if America is to be great we need more youngesters with formidable work ethics.
Yes it is a rarity this day and age
Obviously great parents help
Yea you girls are lovely thanks
I love how you do the music in the background. I have listened (binge watching) and I have not really heard anything that has not been put together well. Keep up with the good content, I really like what you do here. Thanks
Nice editing! Very enjoyable. Thanks.
The oak beams are beautiful as are you!
Oak is a very very pretty wood and yes it is hard. I used to turn a lot of wooden bowls. I kept the grinder going all the time because oak will dull wood turning knives really quick.
It is beautiful wood! I work at a sawmill shop in AL after work I come home and watch more videos on sawmilling 🙂
Your filming is much improved great shots
Having worked around loud tools for 35years it might be interesting to show how loud your work is
It’s loud. Boss Man.
Really pretty wood. Thanks for the video
I built a sawmill shed for my mill and I used (4) 10"x10" red oak logs for the back posts. I won't do that again only because doing the timber frame joinery was not easy to chisel and work with. Looks awesome but is definitely not as easy to work with as pine or hemlock.
Oh, you look so pretty with those ribbons in your braids !
Love that babushka, Em!!! *Lovely* oak boards, for sure. My neighborhood is lousy with oaks--they look to be five stories tall, and drop ridiculous amounts of acorns, and let's not even talk about the leaves. This video may have repaired my attitude towards oak trees a little, so thank you for that. I'm sure by the end of November, I'll be back to hating on them again. Keep up the mighty find work, ladies.
Beautiful pieces of oak.
i love these lumber janes
I love oak! When it's pinkish, it's red oak!
Absolutely beautiful grain.
I bet the smell is awesome! Cool process... thanks for sharing. GBYAY
Beautiful wood! Nice grains and color.
Epic video, thanks Emrald!
you made sawmills looks very fun to watch😍
Looks like a Buprestidae beetle or sawyer beetle hole on one of the edges. Judging by the cracking that log was cut for 6 + months. The colour almost puts it into a English brown oak slabs. Nice work
Em, you didn't show us the 6X6 oak beam that you milled. I know I would love to see it!! & Thanks for sharing!
I’m exactly the opposite, I rarely cut softwoods. I really like oak, looks beautiful whichever way it’s cut.
That log had some beautiful boards
The beam across the living room I build some years back was an ash 6X14. Oak, 6x6 is a column. Excellent for supporting and axial loads. That is a pretty piece of wood.
I’ve stayed in many cabins with 6x6 beams. A 6x14 can also be a column all depends on how you use it.
@@dontfit6380 Absolutely ! All depends on span and loads. I suspect you like a nice piece of real wood vs some particle board laminated beam,, just exactly as I do. Holds just as many pounds,, looks a whole lot nicer.
@@Sailor376also 👍
Nice Job Emerald and Jade 💪👸💪🏻👸🏻🪵🪓❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hello from Paris, France
👋😍🇺🇸🇨🇵 ❤️
those are lovely boards.
Hello Y’all . Been watching a few of your videos I’m a new friend now. I’m a sawer too watching your set up on the 40 with the control center station I’m trying to figure out how to put just the end inside the building. Looks like it’s going to be right in the corner so board return can clear . ? What you think is it possible. Want the 70 just out of price range for now
Now that beam would make a great mantle after it drys out. Have a great weekend!
the split in the log at 1:45...if your cutting 10 ft logs to 10 ft length planks...what happens if that crack goes into the wood say 5 inches ...does that mess up the planks that ya cut from that piece?
Ya! You said it!
That has to be the most beautiful grain I've ever seen.
Soothing watch.
got good heavy beam as well as some planks and i believe you put the first cuts in firewood so got everything from that tree
have you guys ever cut wood for timber frame homes? btw that was a very nice look you put together for todays show all you ladies are beautiful
What is the righting on your arm. Great videos Geoff
Nice timber. Be interesting to see what you do with the pieces that go into the kiln.
Why is the Carbide cutting tool not being uses ahead of the blade on first cuts?
Those 1” boards would be good for me to build my bee Hives out of . 😁Thanks for your video’s
As your cutting ,in my mind I'm already making some cool looking shelfs. Outta that 1 × stock with live edge. By the way nice camera work.
I would like to know when the tension on the blade is good
Good job Em
I would like to see you slice more hardwood.
Tell your mom thank you for her long thoughtful response to my comment of this morning.
Your mom is a gifted writer.
Love me some oak! Mamas a beautiful finish
great vid. how old is the oak and how are you planting behind as you go?
nature plants here
That gorgeous material!
I concur 100%, simply amazing. Thanks 🙏🏼 for sharing. 🍻🇺🇸👍🏻🇺🇸🍻
Hello , I think that Oak 6x6 may well be a supporting beam in some building. Is it possible for you to trace it to the end customer? Thanks for your great channel, i have learned a lot from you about sawmilling.
6”x6” is a post size. Excellent choice for a gate post where the gate has a fair amount of weight to it. Minimum size for a pine lintel on a load bearing perimeter wall would be 6x4 for a narrow window. All dependent upon vertical load, locally assessed wind rating, (age-related) strength of timber and automated strength testing during milling process.
Beautiful oak. 😊
Red oak here in nc goes for 3.75 a board foot. Nice stuff.
beautifull results most def, love the pig tails, have fun..
This woodcuts look so wonderful.I'm a German,but live in Indonesia and l love to work with wood.
Perhaps some day you could put together a video to educate your viewers about firewood...meaning the best and worst types of wood used and how long they should be seasoned and stored before use. also how to identify each type..might require a short series of videos......hang in there
Thank you beautiful Ladys 😘❤
When in my younger days I worked in a custom mill making architectural millwork and when I handled oak using it to make things my hands would turn black. It wouldn't wash off with soap and water so I asked my dad who woodworked all his life and he told me to squeeze a lemon or an orange and let the juice, containing citric acid, on my hands. Sure enough, the black color came off. just sayin' Mike
Tannin
I don't know what it is...........but the camera handling and angling is awesome!
That oak is beautiful.
LCLY, such beautiful products and workers.
Great video , do you guys make cedar shake for siding ?
We use hemlock for our siding. Boss Man.
Those would look good with a glossy clearcoat finish
Who is running the camera, they are doing a great job I love the flow of things like filming the equipment running...;)>
Niiiiiiiice job with the hardwood. Like watching you n fam on Ytube. God bless 😀👍
Much respect.
Just subed , looking forward for more !
I have a question. How often do you guys find things like nails or bullets for example in your logs? Does it destroy the blade?
usually small pieces of metal will only affect 1-3 teeth of the entire blade, and while that can leave some 'chunking' effect, if you bend them back/remove the flaw you can get by
bullets rarely penetrate deep enough, 99% of metal in a tree is from an old sign that was attached
I am an advocate for NOT using trees to post signs, it hurts the trees and later leaves things like nails for millers to deal with
Really cute looking
Log Yeearrrrrd! Bring it!
Thanks beautiful ladies.
I enjoyed the video. I think would go ahead and saw that beam into boards. The end checking and rot/bug damage would make me think twice about using it for long term structural support. It might be possible to cut off the ends if it has enough length to sacrifice.
Looked to me like ring shake in the butt end, something else to check out before using it for structural
i dont know whats more beautiful you, your sister or the wood.
