Hello Steven, and welcome to the mill. We are glad you are enjoying our channel, and glad that we are reaching so far from our home. What is it like in your island nation?
We were in W New Britain in Feb 1988 for a month to help build a school. The 4x2 lumber was too perfect for me to drive a nail in it.. My primary job was to cut open 494 100kilo bags of cement from Korea with a machete. Some garamute wood carvings from there are my most favorite wood pieces, especially the Slit log drum carved like a Crocodile!
I don’t know anything about milling wood but I like to watch the process. You seem to do an exceptional job compared to some others I have watched. You make the wood “shine”.
Thank you very much Mary. We have a lot of fun opening these logs up, and showing what's hiding inside. And especially sharing it with others. Hopebto see you back in the comment section again. If you ever have any questions, let us know. We'll be glad to help out
Awesome! I have a very large Black Walnut in the front yard. I often think about falling it for the wood. I enjoyed watching the sawmill work. Beautiful wood.
Hello Ron, and welcome to the mill. Save that tree until its on its way out, or a storm takes it down. Enjoy it as much as you can. I hate to see healthy trees taken down. It will bring years of enjoyment. It will come down in time, and you will be able to harvest.
IT IS AMAZING TO SEE HOW BEAUTIFUL THE LUMBER AND GRAINS OF DIFFERENT KINDS OF TREES IN THIS BEAUTIFUL WORLD THAT GOD CREATED FOR US TO ENJOY I LOVE BUILDING WITH RED OAK BUT THIS WAS ONE OF THE PRETTIEST WOODS I HAVE SEEN AND I ENJOYED WATCHING THE TIME YOU TOOK TO BRING THE BEAUTY OUT OF THIS LOG
Hello John, and welcome. I agree with you 100%. It was a privilege to open this beautiful log, and share it with everyone. We always say. We don't make the beautiful wood.

Hello, and welcome to the mill. These machines are amazing, and make beautiful lumber. You should contact Wood Mizer about their machines. They sell all over the world. You could make some great lumber from the trees in your country.
Hello Steven, and welcome. I was thinking the same thing. I'm currently working on getting some walnut for myself. I have a few trees lined up. Just have to wait for those to be dropped on the ground.
Enjoying watching this so much, I was forgetting to leave a comment. LOVE the walnut. OMG!!!! BEAUTIFUL. Having a machine that turns the tree, awesome. I saw another guy hang a bucket to catch the sawdust. I think he sells it. Thanks for showing and look forward more. 😉👍
Thank you Jo, WE have to agree. This walnut was amazing. A real pleasure to mill. And to think it was headed to the scrap pile before they brought it to us. We are so glad they changed their mind. Hope to see you in the comments again
My first exposure to a saw mill was onr owned and operated by Charlie Jackson and Dudley Tennant in Street, MD in the 1950's. It was a circular saw powered by an old, old transverse engine Minneapolis Moline steel wheeled tractor. They were about a mile down the hollow from us but when that saw started to load up, I could hear that engine bark like a dog. I loved the sound. I wonder what happened to that tractor. I never saw another one like it.
Hello Douglas, and welcome to the mill. I love the sound of the circle mills, and have had the opportunity to see them in operation under steam power. I really like when folks share their memories of those times, their experiences, and the machines. Work was hard but you earned a living and were proud to do so. We hope to share some of our memories with folks in the future. Im glad you stopped in to share yours. Please don't be a stranger, and be sure to drop by in the comment section when you get a chance.
I wish that was me. I love working with wood but alas too late for me and we don't have wood like this where I live..Your sidewalk superintendent actually works. Love it. She is a great worker.
Thank you very much. Maybe to be here in person would be fun. Get the full sights around, and smells from the mill. Deb is awesome, isn't she. Definitely found a good one with her.
Hello Roger, and welcome. That is a prime example of a beauty right there. I wish I could have used this for some projects of my own. Thank you for your compliments. They are greatly appreciated. The customer waste very pleased with it. That made us very happy.
Thank you Dennis, and welcome. I wish we could be using that lumber ourselves, but this one went back to the customer. We are on the hunt for our own. Let's hope we can find some.
Congrats, you made it to 10K!! Even at my age if I could afford it I would have one of those sawmills in my backyard, lol I really enjoy watching your work on the sawmill. Deb is a great helpmate!
Hello Grandma j and welcome to the mill. These are amazing machines, and we love producing this beautiful lumber. Deb is awesome. Keep watching some upcoming videos. Deb has a surprise. Also, watch for our giveaway video for reaching 10K. Thank you for your compliments, and your support. Hope to see you in the comments more often. I bet you could run a mill, no problem.
@@IronOakSawmill TY, I think I could too! My Grandfather and Father were master carpenters, and so is my brother by it isn't his trade so I grew up around a LOT of wood and surrounded by tons of trees here in WV. 🌳🌲 When we went on our Harley ride across the country, being in the open air, I could smell the sawmills miles away, it impressed hubs, LOL. I don't comment a lot but I've watched almost all of your videos, love the 'reveal'.
@@grandmaj. I have family out in Western MD and WV. Kitzmiller MD, and Kieser WV Not sure if you're familiar. A ride across the US. That must have been an adventure. I dont have much woodworker history, other than my own. I do know that I love it though, and this mill is a huge extension of that. Please continue to comment if you'd like, and thank you for watching. Deb says Hi !! and thank you as well.
@@IronOakSawmill Hi back to Deb! Not familiar with Kitzmiller Md., but our grandson lives in Keyser, very beautiful area of our state with lots of history. Yes, it was a trip of a lifetime, no trailering, all on the bike, hubs has traveled all the lower 50 states, I only have 45🤔, health problems for him so no more riding, hummm, maybe I should buy a sawmill, LOL. Looking forward to your next video.
@@grandmaj. I knew I missed it on the spelling of Keyser. I hope you and hub will continue to enjoy our channel. We'll try to keep the good videos coming.
Hello Maurice, and welcome. We hope that some of this lumber ends up in some fine furniture, or cabinetry. I was both amazing, and an honor to mill this log.
Hello Scotty, and welcome to the mill. This was an amazing log, and was both a pleasure, and a privilege to mill. We are still in contact with the customer, and hoping to see what he creates with these pieces.
Hello Ken, and welcome to the mill. Black walnut is amazing wood. Especially when its air dried. It retains it natural coloring and appearance. I have folks here who insist on it being air dried. I wish I could come across more like this. Always keeping my eyes open for more.
Hello Moondog, and welcome to the mill. I agree 100%. Not just with black walnut, but with many other types of wood. It's always fun to open them up, and see what nature has made.
Hello Carl, and welcome to the mill. I may have a large Black Walnut coming in the near future. I want to use every bit of it. What size / grain do the builder like?
2 x8/4 x7' slabs of that would fulfill my bucket list of formal dinner tables. I had the pleasure of being a part of the construction of a residence with a specially constructed black walnut block paneled study. Absolutely beautiful wood . The Mrs. helping added you to the subscribed list as well.
Hello and welcome Bobby. Thank you for the sub. Black walnut is an absolutely beautiful wood. I would love to have seen that walnut study. I'm sure it was amazing. Deb is great on the mill. Get ready for some more video of her running the mill.
My father made coffee tables, end tables and lamps with black walnut. We now have it at the mountain house he built. I got rid of the junkie store bought tables and replaced it with the walnut. Beautiful workmanship. He also built his cabinets from the Cherry on the property.
Hello, and welcome to the mill. You cant go wrong with home built furniture, over the cheap store bought stuff. That mountain house must look amazing. I hope to find some high quality Cherry to work with myself. Your father sounds like one heck of a craftsman. Maybe send us some pics someday.
I knew two wood workers years ago who would have love that log and the great way you sawed it. They made the best things you ever seen, and would not have used it for about twelve years.
Hello Dallas, and welcome. This log was an honor to mill. Not many come around that are this nice. These will sit for some time before they are used. The gentleman that these belong to is a very good wood worker, and knows the importance of proper drying of the lumber. He prefers air dried black walnut, as it retains more of the natural coloring, and shading.
@@denniswiskerchen4833 the thickness of the board can be controlled manually, or through the computer set works. It can be set to any thickness in 1/16" increments.
Hello Phil, and welcome to the mill. Thank you very much. That Black Walnut is awesome wood, isnt it. I'm glad you're picking up a few things from the channel. Always happy to share some information and knowledge. We have a good time making videos.
Thanks for all you do. I now live in Florida and just ain’t the wood that we had in the north East. Still turning wood though. Now and then we run in to pecan or mahogany though. Stay safe
Watched a few sawing videos now and had not stopped to consider HOW you cut them will effect the price. So thank you for your video and you are so fortunate to have such a great helper.
Hello Bob, and welcome. We started that way. Just cut it. What does it matter. We quickly learned that it matters a lot. Good quality logs help to produce better lumber. We do our best to bring out the best lumber. Thank you for watching us. If there is something you would like to see, let us know. We'll see what we can do
@@IronOakSawmill When naval ships were made of oak wood, a shipwright was present when the oak trees were felled to tell them how to fell them for best usefulness, and see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knee_(construction)
Hello Jerry, and thank you. We were lucky enough to find a load of black walnut this past weekend. We have a video up of us loading, and hauling it home. I think you'll like what you see in that video. We will get it on the mill as soon as possible.
Great question Robert. Some folks charge by the calculated board footage in the log, before cutting. Others measure the board footage afterwards, and calculate the price, and some simply charge by the hour. There are log volume calculators out there, to assist in figuring board footage before cutting. The same goes for board footage calculators as well. Then it's a matter of a board foot price that is comparable in your area. There can be additional charges for labor, hauling and setting up your mill, if you are milling off site, and charges for hitting metal, or something else in the log.
@@David-fv7zg how do we miss these comments and responses. My apologies David. I've seen prices from 55 cents per board foot. Or, if you are charging by the hour, $100 per hour is common. Some have a minimum amount of hours they charge for. Some charge a minimum of 4 hours, so that 400 to start. It really all depends on your area.
Lovely to see you both wearing protective gear and great to see you working so well together,as I live in Australia are not exposed to you sort of lifestyle. Thankyou for sharing it with us. I love the smell of certain types of wood and to see the beautiful grain of it exposed.it is great to be able to use the tree when it has out lived it’s use.
Hello Kerrie, and welcome to the mill. PPE is important to us. We could use a bit more when running the chainsaw though. Forget to put on chaps. We work hard together to reach our goals. We hope it pays off here on TH-cam and beyond. Thank you for joining us, and hope to hear from you again soon.
Hello John, and welcome. We are doing our part of keeping the old school craftsmanship alive, here in the states. I'm glad you are able to check out our channel. Hope to see you in the comments more often
LOL. That thing is a little powerhouse though. Does more than I every expected it to do. Maybe soon we can upgrade. Thanks for stopping in. Hope to see you again in the comment sections.
I have wanted to do a table with black walnut. I just finished one using Ribboned Sapele and it came out beautiful. My nephew just bought one of these saw mills and it works great. Watch out for nails. They can add up to be very costly. You do great work and take pride in your work. Luckily you have a great helper there.
Black walnut is a magnet for nails, and all sorts of metal. Best of luck with the mill. Strive for quality, and folks will keep coming back. We just want to make sure the customer gets what they want. We also use what we mill. No sense taking shortcuts. Thank you for stopping in Jay. Hope to see you in the comment section again.
It smells great, but isn't good for the lungs. At least as much as we breath in. Sawdust all day long will ruin the lungs. Now Black CHERRY. That smells amazing.
Olave's should start with the short with a small in first that way they don't have to guess at how much slab is going to have to be taken off from the small in
@@garykiser6848 Hello Gary. We could take that slab off in one slice, but then we end up with a hunk of wood that is difficult to handle. Just trying to make life a little easier on the mill
I love the video. Very helpful. i am thinking about getting a mill, just watching videos to figure out which one i like. Your machine does a beautiful job.
Hello Donnie, and welcome. Thats one of the reasons we started making our videos. We couldn't find more than a few videos of the LT35, when we were shopping for a mill. Seems we covered that pretty well. This machine is amazing, and so is the company. I hope you decide on the Wood Mizer.
So beautiful, I have a pretty big one too that fell last year from a storm that was leaning. Wished y’all were closer so 8m could get it milled! Thanks for sharing! Hugs and love from Texas!
Hello Linda, and Thank You so much. I wish we were closer as well. We source most of our logs through "Urban Logging". Salvaging these tree, so that they can be turned I to beautiful creations, and still be around for many more years, is a great feeling. If you ever run into a similar situation, check for a local mill like us. There is always someone looking for logs to mill. Thank you for visiting, and we hope to see you in the comments again soon.
Hello Noel. I will have to agree with you on both points. This is an exceptional log. I hope to find some for myself. The Wood Mizer is an awesome machine, and does excellent work. I wish i had got one sooner.
Hello Reed, and welcome to the mill. Thank you for checking us out, and watching all the way through. Some of our videos run pretty long. Thank you for following through on the whole video.
Well guys that was an awesome video and cutting the black walnut log was great to watch. To be honest, I accidentally clicked on your video after looking at some other youtube wood tool products and I couldn't take my eyes off of your entire filming,,, it was awesome! I am a retired cabinet maker by trade and have built custom cabinets, starting at the forest and ending with installing them in shops and homes. I love working with wood and I am seriously thinking about buying a small mill that utilizes a bandsaw blade rather than a circular saw blade. So again thank you for your video. I subscribed and I'm glad I did. Keep up the good work, God bless and stay safe ;)
Hello Larry, and welcome. Thank you for the great compliments. How you got here makes no difference, as long as you visit often. I'm sure you made some amazing cabinets. I'm sure you would like one of the Wood Mizer mills. You should stop by and visit their website. We love milling, and I'm sure you would also. We are really trying to make some good videos, and hope you can join us again in the comment sections.
Thank you very much, and welcome to the mill. Deb is awesome, isn't she. We are glad you liked the video. Hope to see you in the comment section again soon.
Thank you Michael, and welcome to the mill. We were thrilled to mill this one. They don't come by very often, and we wanted to save as much as we could.
@@IronOakSawmill Have a Black Walnut on the homestead property that is probably 28 inches at the bottom, perfectly straight and probably 35' to the first limb. Would be a gunsmiths dream lol
@@markirwin8583 let that beauty grow for now. It will come down in time. Hate to see a healthy one taken down in its prime. So stock material should be clear, and free of knots, correct?
@@IronOakSawmill He was a Tool and Dye man who had a small farm to begin with that had several acres of trees. He taught his brother how to buy and sell timber. Later he started a furniture and carpet store and bought hundreds of acres to keep his farming hobby going. From a small child , I was taught to love and respect trees. My home is full of hardwood furniture. You and your wife remind me of my parents. Hard workers, dedicated to your craft! Blessings to you!
@@nesaclark1059 that is a great story. Thank you for sharing. I'm glad we can help bring back such fond memories. We are the same way with our respect for trees. We strive to use only urban slavaged trees. If they have to be removed, we like to save what we can from then, turn it into lumber and slabs, and keep the legacy of that tree alive for many more years.
Thx for ur kind words , recently we had to take down our 118 year old weeping willow 5 diameter 14ft to a dia. 36” it had three off shoots that were all 30” dia, i donated to a local slab house they wanted it cause it was a local tree hope tp some day get a slab from it as part of the deal after it dries put alot
@@MrVelocity111 that tree sounds like it will make some amazing slabs. You did the right thing by having it milled. That will insure that it will live on for generations, in some amazing furniture. A piece of history, preserved.
Thank you Monte. Glad you are able to join us here, and are enjoying the content. We definitely agree with you. That walnut was a pleasure to mill, and still the newest one to date on our mill.
Thank you Bruce. The LT35HD is an amazing machine. That walnut is still my favorite. A complete honor to mill, and was glad to give it a continued life, in different projects.
Thank you Sandra, and welcome to the mill. We often sell or give away the scraps from the mill. We hate to see any of it go to waste. The local crafters make some great pieces with it. Deb and I usually work together to reach our goals. She is not one to shy away from the work.
Hello Dianna, and welcome. We absolutely agree with you. This one was definitely a pleasure to saw. Knowing it would live on in many different project, is a good feeling. Deb most definitely is a great partner, for sure. I always make sure she is OK with the lift.
Hello Magaret, and welcome. Black walnut is an amazing wood, isnt it. We are working on getting a couple larger logs for our own use. Hoping that happens soon.
Thank you Sam, and welcome to the mill. We have a lot of videos. Feel free to watch some of our other videos. We have another big black walnut heading to the mill now. Stay tuned.
Hello Trevor, and welcome. My fathers side of the family was from Ireland. Beautiful country for sure. We are truely blessed with some unusual trees, but ill bet you have some there that we would love to have. You are quite welcome. Hope to see you in the comments again.

Just watched a 36” round saw blade 14” yield butcher a beautiful 30” black walnut into small 8” boards thank you for best yield , best size gorgeousness
Thank you Susan. We couldn't agree more. We always try to pick the nicest side to cut from. Even if it means turning the log a lot. Just want to get the best we can for the customer.
Hello Bruce, and welcome to the mill. While your waiting, get yourself set up with a place to store your lumber, a good amount of stickers, and a piece of equipment to move bot logs and lumber. Unless of course you are already set up. Congrats on the new mill. The wait can be tough, but we'll worth it. If you ever have any question, feel free to ask. We are glad to help out if we can.
I worked at a commercial sawmill in south Africa using wood misers . We only cut a type of gum logs . The finished products were used as mine rail ties and zimbrellas ,a type of wooden umbrellas. The short pieces were turned into all types of hammer and axe handles

I never saw another one like it.
Hello Douglas, and welcome to the mill. I love the sound of the circle mills, and have had the opportunity to see them in operation under steam power. I really like when folks share their memories of those times, their experiences, and the machines. Work was hard but you earned a living and were proud to do so. We hope to share some of our memories with folks in the future. Im glad you stopped in to share yours.
Please don't be a stranger, and be sure to drop by in the comment section when you get a chance.
I wish that was me. I love working with wood but alas too late for me and we don't have wood like this where I live..Your sidewalk superintendent actually works. Love it. She is a great worker.
Thank you very much. Maybe to be here in person would be fun. Get the full sights around, and smells from the mill.
Deb is awesome, isn't she. Definitely found a good one with her.
An absolutely beautiful walnut log. Incredible skill in running that mill and I an sure the customer will be satisfied.
Hello Roger, and welcome. That is a prime example of a beauty right there. I wish I could have used this for some projects of my own.
Thank you for your compliments. They are greatly appreciated. The customer waste very pleased with it. That made us very happy.
And that is a lot of hard work, enjoy some CBD and loose the pain and stress, sleep better, watch our video @ zzedibles.com
What beautiful wood! Great shots of lumber being cut. Great job!
Thank you Curt. Sorry for the delayed response. We are working on getting another one nearly this big. It should be amazing. Stay tuned.
Beautiful lumber & Great Sawmill. I see some fine furniture coming from that log. Thanks.
Thank you Dennis, and welcome. I wish we could be using that lumber ourselves, but this one went back to the customer.
We are on the hunt for our own. Let's hope we can find some.
I have always been fascinated by woodwork and wood turning and I just sit back and watch.
I'm a turner as well. One of my favorite type of woodworking. We are glad you're here to watch. We will keep the good content coming.
Congrats, you made it to 10K!!
Even at my age if I could afford it I would have one of those sawmills in my backyard, lol I really enjoy watching your work on the sawmill. Deb is a great helpmate!
Hello Grandma j and welcome to the mill. These are amazing machines, and we love producing this beautiful lumber. Deb is awesome. Keep watching some upcoming videos. Deb has a surprise. Also, watch for our giveaway video for reaching 10K.
Thank you for your compliments, and your support. Hope to see you in the comments more often.
I bet you could run a mill, no problem.
@@IronOakSawmill TY, I think I could too! My Grandfather and Father were master carpenters, and so is my brother by it isn't his trade so I grew up around a LOT of wood and surrounded by tons of trees here in WV. 🌳🌲 When we went on our Harley ride across the country, being in the open air, I could smell the sawmills miles away, it impressed hubs, LOL. I don't comment a lot but I've watched almost all of your videos, love the 'reveal'.
@@grandmaj. I have family out in Western MD and WV. Kitzmiller MD, and Kieser WV
Not sure if you're familiar.
A ride across the US. That must have been an adventure.
I dont have much woodworker history, other than my own. I do know that I love it though, and this mill is a huge extension of that.
Please continue to comment if you'd like, and thank you for watching.
Deb says Hi !! and thank you as well.
@@IronOakSawmill Hi back to Deb! Not familiar with Kitzmiller Md., but our grandson lives in Keyser, very beautiful area of our state with lots of history. Yes, it was a trip of a lifetime, no trailering, all on the bike, hubs has traveled all the lower 50 states, I only have 45🤔, health problems for him so no more riding, hummm, maybe I should buy a sawmill, LOL. Looking forward to your next video.
@@grandmaj. I knew I missed it on the spelling of Keyser.
I hope you and hub will continue to enjoy our channel. We'll try to keep the good videos coming.
It is amazing to see the grain it's a beautiful word. Wonderful Walnut that I ever seen beautiful beautiful
Thank You Raymond. This log was a pleasure to mill. Beautiful grain.
After spending 10 years or so in the UK cabinetmaking business, it was nice to see this end of the process. Well done.
Hello Maurice, and welcome. We hope that some of this lumber ends up in some fine furniture, or cabinetry. I was both amazing, and an honor to mill this log.
Fantastic cuts of wood. That would make perfect furniture or indoor flooring, ceiling or walls.
Hello Scotty, and welcome to the mill. This was an amazing log, and was both a pleasure, and a privilege to mill. We are still in contact with the customer, and hoping to see what he creates with these pieces.
I helped my son place an 8’ Black Walnut board he had put 9 coats of Tung Oil for a bar top in his Man Cave....beautiful grain.
It absolutely is beautiful wood. We like a tung oil finish as well. Easy to do, and looks amazing.
I like your style by seeing what to do with the natural shape of the wood. Wonderful stuff :-)
Thank you very much Robert. I thi k it's time for another project in the shop, and hopefully create some beautiful pieces.
Would love to have 10 or 15 of them in my back yard. Lovely wood for a great job well done
Hello Ken, and welcome to the mill. Black walnut is amazing wood. Especially when its air dried. It retains it natural coloring and appearance. I have folks here who insist on it being air dried.
I wish I could come across more like this. Always keeping my eyes open for more.
Always amazed at the natural beauty under the bark. Never a dull moment.
Hello Moondog, and welcome to the mill. I agree 100%. Not just with black walnut, but with many other types of wood. It's always fun to open them up, and see what nature has made.
That has to be the best Black walnut that I have seen in years,would make some nice gun stocks.
Hello Carl, and welcome to the mill. I may have a large Black Walnut coming in the near future. I want to use every bit of it. What size / grain do the builder like?
2 x8/4 x7' slabs of that would fulfill my bucket list of formal dinner tables. I had the pleasure of being a part of the construction of a residence with a specially constructed black walnut block paneled study. Absolutely beautiful wood . The Mrs. helping added you to the subscribed list as well.
Hello and welcome Bobby. Thank you for the sub. Black walnut is an absolutely beautiful wood. I would love to have seen that walnut study. I'm sure it was amazing.
Deb is great on the mill. Get ready for some more video of her running the mill.
My father made coffee tables, end tables and lamps with black walnut. We now have it at the mountain house he built. I got rid of the junkie store bought tables and replaced it with the walnut. Beautiful workmanship. He also built his cabinets from the Cherry on the property.
Hello, and welcome to the mill. You cant go wrong with home built furniture, over the cheap store bought stuff. That mountain house must look amazing.
I hope to find some high quality Cherry to work with myself.
Your father sounds like one heck of a craftsman. Maybe send us some pics someday.
I knew two wood workers years ago who would have love that log and the great way you sawed it. They made the best things you ever seen, and would not have used it for about twelve years.
Hello Dallas, and welcome. This log was an honor to mill. Not many come around that are this nice. These will sit for some time before they are used. The gentleman that these belong to is a very good wood worker, and knows the importance of proper drying of the lumber. He prefers air dried black walnut, as it retains more of the natural coloring, and shading.
That was one beautiful piece of timber!
Thank you Craig, and welcome. I will have to agree with you on that. This is probably the nicest black walnut we have sawn here at the mill.
How do you know how to set the saw to get the right size of boards
@@denniswiskerchen4833 the thickness of the board can be controlled manually, or through the computer set works. It can be set to any thickness in 1/16" increments.
Simply beautiful wood. That was so pretty.
Hello Mark, and thank you. Black walnut is one of our favorites. It was a privilege to mill this one. Very beautiful wood.
Really interesting to see the grain being discovered as milling goes on.
I agree Tony. We really look forward to what we find in the logs. This stuff is amazing.
Awesome walnut boards. Loved the way you cleaned up the live edge. Saved lots of table saw time.
Thank you Jeffery. No live edge for this client. He wanted it nice and square. A real pleasure to mill
1st time watching. It will be my pleasure to watch many more.
Thank you, and welcome to the mill. Hope to see you in the comments.
absolutely beautiful walnut. Your vids are good to watch and to learn. Thanks much for your time.
Hello Phil, and welcome to the mill. Thank you very much. That Black Walnut is awesome wood, isnt it. I'm glad you're picking up a few things from the channel. Always happy to share some information and knowledge. We have a good time making videos.
Thanks for all you do. I now live in Florida and just ain’t the wood that we had in the north East. Still turning wood though. Now and then we run in to pecan or mahogany though. Stay safe
Now that is some nice looking wood my friend.
Thank you Joel. I really need to find some of that for myself. I have a few leads. Hoping it pays off.
This is my first time. Great work. Great on some beautiful wood. Nice to see you working together.
Hello Doug, and welcome. Thank you very much. We have a good time on the mill. Especially the surprise when we open a beautiful slice of lumber.
Great job maximizing the board feet out of the log.
Thank you Jim, and welcome to the mill.
We try to save every piece we can for our customers. Especially wood as beautiful as this.
Watched a few sawing videos now and had not stopped to consider HOW you cut them will effect the price. So thank you for your video and you are so fortunate to have such a great helper.
Hello Bob, and welcome. We started that way. Just cut it. What does it matter. We quickly learned that it matters a lot. Good quality logs help to produce better lumber. We do our best to bring out the best lumber.
Thank you for watching us. If there is something you would like to see, let us know. We'll see what we can do
@@IronOakSawmill When naval ships were made of oak wood, a shipwright was present when the oak trees were felled to tell them how to fell them for best usefulness, and see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knee_(construction)
My favorite species. I am going to build the cab for my 1/5 scale live steam locomotive out of black walnut.
Hello Harry, and welcome. That would be an awesome project to see. Any chance you could send pic of it, when you're done?
:;;
That was some fine black walnut
And you did a great job sawing it all.
Hello Jerry, and thank you. We were lucky enough to find a load of black walnut this past weekend. We have a video up of us loading, and hauling it home. I think you'll like what you see in that video. We will get it on the mill as soon as possible.
I have a question for you. How much does it cost to mill a log like that black walnut in your video?
Great question Robert.
Some folks charge by the calculated board footage in the log, before cutting. Others measure the board footage afterwards, and calculate the price, and some simply charge by the hour.
There are log volume calculators out there, to assist in figuring board footage before cutting. The same goes for board footage calculators as well. Then it's a matter of a board foot price that is comparable in your area.
There can be additional charges for labor, hauling and setting up your mill, if you are milling off site, and charges for hitting metal, or something else in the log.
Iron & Oak Sawmill To expand on this question, what do you think is a fair price per bdft or per hour to mill? Thanks!
@@David-fv7zg how do we miss these comments and responses. My apologies David. I've seen prices from 55 cents per board foot. Or, if you are charging by the hour, $100 per hour is common. Some have a minimum amount of hours they charge for. Some charge a minimum of 4 hours, so that 400 to start. It really all depends on your area.
Glad to help, was in the logging business 50 yearsago, allot has changed. Good luck
Gramps
Thanks Ron. Stay well friend. Hope to see you in the comments more often.
I wonder what the end use for these planks will be? Table legs or entry doors? Maybe milling it into crown moulding?
Hello Rod, and welcome to the Mill.
I wonder that myself. I hope to do a follow up with the gentleman who we milled this for, to find that answer.
Lovely to see you both wearing protective gear and great to see you working so well together,as I live in Australia are not exposed to you sort of lifestyle. Thankyou for sharing it with us. I love the smell of certain types of wood and to see the beautiful grain of it exposed.it is great to be able to use the tree when it has out lived it’s use.
Hello Kerrie, and welcome to the mill. PPE is important to us. We could use a bit more when running the chainsaw though. Forget to put on chaps.
We work hard together to reach our goals. We hope it pays off here on TH-cam and beyond. Thank you for joining us, and hope to hear from you again soon.
Beautiful wood makes the world good.
I feel the same way. This black walnut is amazing.
Great video good to see craftsmanship like this keep up the good work
I'm from England we don't see much of this over ere
Well done chaps

Very nice black walnut Customer should be happy.
And a job well done!!
Hello, and welcome to the mill. Thank you Bob. The owner was super happy about the black walnut. I hope to see some, when he completes some projects.
amazing wood, I would just keep it like that
Yes it is. One of my favorites. 8/4 thick looks amazing. Can't go wrong with that.
My dad was a carpenter and taught me the beauty in fine lumber. Black walnut was fantastic.
Your Dad was a smart man.

I have wanted to do a table with black walnut. I just finished one using Ribboned Sapele and it came out beautiful. My nephew just bought one of these saw mills and it works great. Watch out for nails. They can add up to be very costly. You do great work and take pride in your work. Luckily you have a great helper there.
Black walnut is a magnet for nails, and all sorts of metal. Best of luck with the mill. Strive for quality, and folks will keep coming back. We just want to make sure the customer gets what they want. We also use what we mill. No sense taking shortcuts.
Thank you for stopping in Jay. Hope to see you in the comment section again.
Bet that smells amazing while cutting it...almost a shame wearing the masks to cover up the sweet aroma. That's like therapy for carpenters.
It smells great, but isn't good for the lungs. At least as much as we breath in. Sawdust all day long will ruin the lungs.
Now Black CHERRY. That smells amazing.
@@IronOakSawmill I realy like that you use the masks, Proper PPE is important, so everybody is aware of the beauty of the wood but knows ist Hazards!
Olave's should start with the short with a small in first that way they don't have to guess at how much slab is going to have to be taken off from the small in
@@JenningsVIIII try to spread the same word. A lot of older wood workers out there with breathing issues. Stay healthy
@@garykiser6848 Hello Gary. We could take that slab off in one slice, but then we end up with a hunk of wood that is difficult to handle. Just trying to make life a little easier on the mill
I love the video. Very helpful. i am thinking about getting a mill, just watching videos to figure out which one i like. Your machine does a beautiful job.
Hello Donnie, and welcome.
Thats one of the reasons we started making our videos. We couldn't find more than a few videos of the LT35, when we were shopping for a mill. Seems we covered that pretty well.
This machine is amazing, and so is the company. I hope you decide on the Wood Mizer.
Very beautiful cuts and the colors of that wood are great.
Thank you Carlos and welcome to the mill. This is amazing wood. I was privileged to saw it.
I love watching you guys working I know the customer will love the black walnut it’s beautiful
Thank you Carol, and welcome. We do our best to produce good quality lumber for the customer. Team work, makes the dream work. Is what they say. :)
So beautiful, I have a pretty big one too that fell last year from a storm that was leaning. Wished y’all were closer so 8m could get it milled! Thanks for sharing! Hugs and love from Texas!
Hello Linda, and Thank You so much. I wish we were closer as well. We source most of our logs through "Urban Logging". Salvaging these tree, so that they can be turned I to beautiful creations, and still be around for many more years, is a great feeling. If you ever run into a similar situation, check for a local mill like us. There is always someone looking for logs to mill.
Thank you for visiting, and we hope to see you in the comments again soon.
What a beautiful piece of wood. And your saw makes it look so easy.
Hello Noel. I will have to agree with you on both points. This is an exceptional log. I hope to find some for myself.
The Wood Mizer is an awesome machine, and does excellent work. I wish i had got one sooner.
Really sweet grain. Thanks for showing!
Happy to share David. Glad you liked it. We definitely agree.
Stunning set up. Like this equipment. Beauty
Thank you Mike. We work with what we have. We may not be the biggest, but we try to turn out the best stuff lumber we can. Thanks for stopping in.
Wow, that's some fantastic black walnut slabs. Must be worth a fortune.

Hello Eues, and welcome to the channel. We are glad you stopped in.
This is a very beautiful wood. We were honored to mill this log.
Well guys that was an awesome video and cutting the black walnut log was great to watch. To be honest, I accidentally clicked on your video after looking at some other youtube wood tool products and I couldn't take my eyes off of your entire filming,,, it was awesome!
I am a retired cabinet maker by trade and have built custom cabinets, starting at the forest and ending with installing them in shops and homes. I love working with wood and I am seriously thinking about buying a small mill that utilizes a bandsaw blade rather than a circular saw blade. So again thank you for your video. I subscribed and I'm glad I did.
Keep up the good work, God bless and stay safe ;)
