  • Today I cut down a crooked cedar tree that ended up having some rot in the center but I was able to make some nice lumber out of it.

    Gaston wanted this before he went to bed,..I got to see this just as I got up this morning! Example, I think it's about 2:10 AM where the Sawyer is, and it's 6:40 AM where I am!

    I "wood" love to have the ability to mill my own lumber. I see so much good lumber of all types of hardwood trees going to the landfill instead of being cut up for quality lumber. But I can't justify buying a saw mill for the limited needs. Thumbs Up!

    • @NorthwestSawyer
      @NorthwestSawyer  4 роки тому

      Thank you, Gary. I bought my first mill, a much less expensive Woodland Mills, thinking i “wood” have a fun little hobby. 😬 I ended up finding so much money in milling, I stepped up and the new mill paid for itself in 6 months. It’s pretty amazing. People have come out of the woodwork, so-to-speak.

    Everytime I see that cedar tree wood, regardless of what you saw it into, I want to hock, sell, trade everything and order a cabin package, mind you not large, a 24x32 cabin would make me feel like I was living in a palace. I would have exposed wood on the inside and fir on the outside framing. All interior walls would be cedar and the smell.... we don't have smell a video yet but I can smell it. Memories run deep. Back in the sixties, I built a cabin in the cascade mountains out of split fir rails and cedar interior. I used anything for insulation and it was not the best but it did the purpose as I made the walls super thick. All the walls facing north or east were twelve inches thick! Hand split and pegged with dowels I made. I had that tool that would drill one way six inches deep and square holes. I forget the name of it but it used a hammer to punch its way through. Although most of the interior was only six and more high I was not quite six foot at the time. I wouldn't do that again. I know that the cabin stood for over thirty years without anyone living in it but critters but it was still in habitable. I moved after I got out of the service and my priorities changed. Old growth fir split just like butter in thirty foot and more lengths. I used metal fro's and wooden wedges.

    • @NorthwestSawyer

  • @tutekohe1361
    @tutekohe1361 4 роки тому

    You made the classic felling mistake, you cut through the holding wood (hingewood), thats why your saw got caught. I am sure you know that, but for the people watching who are thinking about felling a tree, the first rule rule of felling is; never NEVER cut the holding wood. The holding wood is what prevents the tree from going sideways or even backwards. It fell where you wanted it, your saw wasn’t wrecked and you survived the task. Successful! Beautiful wood, nice result.

      I think eastern red cedar is more so but heart rot in these westerns is pretty common. If you watch my video, “Big machines harvesting huge trees”, we cut down a cedar that had ants spilling out of it like water. Craziest thing I’ve ever seen. I actually had a TV show buy the footage from me to use in their show.
