What is this wood on my sawmill?

- I think it's pine but it doesn't smell like pine, could be something else. Anyway it's on the sawmill and we're going to make boards. You won't believe what beautiful boards come out of this thrown away log.
Looks like Norway Spruce to me George. I sawed a 23 inch diameter one that was down about 5 years, pretty rotted, got an 8x8 for blocking out of the center. It had no sap or smell.
@@50AcresofAcers I've sawed Norway maple but never seen Norway spruce as far as I know. So it's possible. It made really nice boards whatever it is.
I think your bug holes or bug trails could give the wood character. Some people might like that for an accent piece. I would save it if I was you. Stay safe God bless.✌️🇨🇦
@@dougsmith548 they can have the bug hole boards for free! I don't like bug holes lol...
It's a board to me too There is a thing wrong with it punky would long as it holds together i can sell then to a re-man company they usually sit in their lard for a bite by then i have to to pay for the boards
Pretty sure it’s a red pine. Or southern yellow pine. They are very similar. That log is really dried out been sitting cut for a while
some massive beams would be neat
Spider home? more like spider utopia
I think you've got Hemlock. Those tunnels could be larval galleries from the Hemlock Borer.
@@russellevans2446 next video is that hemlock I compared it to, they just don't have the same look.
@@mcsawmill hm, weird.
It is always good when your wood is stiff. That log was buggered.
@@brucewelty7684 I didn't hear it till after I said it ..
Good job getting a good amount of lumber out of a disaster of a log! I would guess an upper section of a diseased or damaged white pine.
@@southernadirondackoutdoors just trying to show there is a lot of good wood in ugly logs
Eastern white pine. The holes came from sawyer beetles. (Those big white grubs) As adults they are long and black with long antennas. The log has sat around long enough to loose its ameromatic punch.
@@AndyRyan-qt5ks I think you nailed it
Te thing is that this log probably lived 70+ feet off the ground. Sapwood,bark and other characteristics can be much different than the lower level of the tree. Especially an old one.
my guess is a ponderosa pine Ponderosa Pine bark smells like vanilla or butterscotch
I've never sawed ponderosa pine, this log had absolutely no scent at all. I think just because it had been down for a while but locally here we pretty much have white/red pine, spruce, and hemlock.
it is call pitch Pine
Nice speed ramping. Those boards have appealing color, your gain, Nate's loss!
@@andysmith8544 hey Andy what's speed ramping?
It's a video editing technique where video playback speed gradually reaches a new speed and then returns to its original pace. Kind of a bell curve for video playback speed.
@@andysmith8544 I was playing with the speed just for fun, thanks learned something.
That pitchy color in the dormant rings, and the slightly shaggy bark, suggests to me a loblolly pine. If I recall correctly, you're in Ohio. Look up loblolly.
It could be Douglas fur George
Would cypress be a good guess??
@@oldcharlie5533 northern Ohio, never seen cypress in person.
Looked like straight to the burning pile to me!dam that thing was ugly
Pine
I was thinking it might be pine but if you’re not getting the pine smell, who know.
@@SwampSawyer I'm pretty sure it's pine of some sort.
It's White Pine.
Could be elm
I love spiders . ❤😊
