My uncle felled a Cedar Tree on his property in the early 1940's and made nearly ALL the furniture for his 3 bedroom house out of it, including a Dining Room table with dimensions 12 feet long and 4 feet 6 inches wide in a SINGLE SLAB. No saw mills or modern machinery used!!
When I lived on the western slopes years past we cut cedar and I will remember that clean smell the rest of my life. Your cedar is magnficent, and I am happy you were able to cut those beautiful slabs. I had visions of so many beautiful things they'd become.
One of the best jobs I ever had was pulling green chain at a lumber mill, the smell of the fresh cut wood, the clean Air and the pine trees everywhere, it was amazing, nothing boring about it
I dunno I saw a couple of nice fireplace mantels. I had a big slab of black walnut left that the metal detector hit on. 5” thick 10” wide and 8’ long. I gave it to my sister and it topped off her stone fireplace in the addition to their 200 year old farmhouse
When you are cutting cedar dont even waste the sawdust!!!! You can package that and sell to people to put in closets and cedar chests! I love the smell of cedar! And it looks great on flower beds and even flower pots!😍😍😍😍😍
I woked on a oilfield construction job in New Guinea in 1974. We had a small sawmill that was powered by a Volkswagen motor. Being surrounded by virgin jungle there were many excotic trees there , it was also the area of battles from WW2. Often when cutting a tree for lumber the saw blade would make a loud nosie and wable a little as the slab of lumber fell away deep in the tree woulb be a 20mm bullet that had been fired by an aircraft from the war. As the trees were cut close to our camp it was decieded to cut more trees next to a river furter away from our camp with the idea to float the logs down to the camp. Trees were cut and stacked on the bank of the river waiting for a good rain storm that finally came using a bulldozer the logs where pushed into the river were they sank to the buttom of the river and lost. Seems the trees were a species of iron wood that is so dense the wood will not foat.
Cedar chips and etc in bags and put them in pet areas or kennels or dog houses to keep the ticks and fleas away. We have a huge cedar that takes four adults or more to go around the girth. I can only imagine the wood I could get out of it but its hundreds of years old so that won't happen. LOL Love this stuff and the smell of the cedar is amazing. I was thinking on small pieces even book ends would be pretty and a conversation piece.........love wood! Good luck on your cuttings...........an awesome job/hobby/or whatever.........nature has such wonders waiting around us. Keep up the good work.
I have a small 30 g air compressor beside my saw mill to clean the dust off of the cuts and it also helps to clean the saw after use. Found the compressor on craigslist for 20 bucks and guy didnt even know that it still ran, nice vintage compressor. Thought i would mention it, you guys do great work, keepem coming!!
@@TripleLRusticDesigns i'd buy some, i'd like to make incense with it. I'd pay $20 for 3 pounds of red cedar saw dust, half white wood half red, gotta have some white for the sap. Plus $5 for shipping.
Amazing cedar log! Some people might look at that log that has rot throughout it, but a creative woodworker (like me) sees past that and can make some beautiful woodcrafts out of those pieces ...Including the fluorescent color of some epoxys will not only hold it together as a slab for a table top, wall art etc... ... Awesome job guys and thanks for saving the critter that was living inside, ha ha :))
After 83 years of life it was Joy watching this video. I became a Shop Teacher in 1961. I taught 16 yrs and gave it Up. 4yrs of the teaching I was a pre-PEACE CORP Volunteer with INTERNATIONAL VOLUNTEER SERVICES in South East Asia. I am the only American to ever set up a WOODSHOP and Teacher Woodwooeld working with a Lao Carpenter as my Partner. It can my life Drastically. It's what made the VIDEO SO ENJOYABLE. I was able to go to a Local LAO SAW MILL to by my lumber for the shop. The lumber was all Luan cut meters and centimeters. The largest slab I ever delt with was of Paduk. It was 5meters x 28inches wide x 2inches thick. It took 4 men to bring it in my Wood Shop. I was given 78 inches of it. I turned that into Japanese Dinning Table 78 x 25 by 2. I made the legs from 4x4 Luan that I stained to match the Redness of the Paduk. The table now sit in front of me in my living email here in Jacksonville, FL 32246. IT WEIGHS: 125 LBS.
I’d kill for even a scrap of that! She’s a beauty!!! I want all those small pieces !!! Lol I’m an artist and all I would love to do to honour that incredible giant !!!
As a fellow Sawyer I can safely say that you guys did a great job with what you had to work with. Also I really like your saw Barn. One of the nicest ones I've seen. As I don't have one yet for myself I might pattern mine a lot like yours, I like the openness of it
I think I heard them say "I can't believe there's not something." And "Yeah like scorpions.". If that's what I heard then there's a wonderful explanation for the lack of insect activity that you'd normally expect to see in a half rotten log. Aromatic cedar is like nature's insect repellent. That's why hope chests, wardrobes, etc etc are most often made with it.... super easy yet incredibly beautiful way to keep the buggies out. Not to mention the smell is fantastic, to me. Crawly critters, not so much. This is an amazing piece you've gotten & seems well worth the all the effort. Also, you can make your own wood filler from the sawdust & some Elmer's glue (I think just the regular ol' white school glue, if I remember correctly).
I watched them thinking they were going to make something cool out of the log..nope. i got to watch them cut a freaking log. 29 minutes 32 seconds worth of log cutting. 😐
Hi, I live in southern Spain (olive country|). Super hard wood and very intricate shapes when sliced through. Some trees could be 1000 years old and more. One would need a huge saw mill to do the slicing! The sad thing is that most of the wood is cut for fire wood. also available are cork, almond, chessnut trees in certain areas. I'm sure there is money to be made especially with old olive trees. Hasta luego amigos! Blessings. No rain over here for the last 6 months...Yours George
many congratulations! I was so happy to see your announcement! I had actually been wondering why your FB videos had not shown up for quite awhile ~ your sawmill, cedar, and works are commendable! Best Wishes to you and your family ~
I watched your video on that beautiful cedar tree...... here's a suggestion you might want to consider saving the shavings .They would be great because you can put them in satchels. people would love to have them hanging in their closet for the smell ..that's would be an extra profit for you .. might want to think about that so none of the tree is wasted it's an idea I would definitely buy a couple for my closet
@@rudolphcasillas2003 obviously it's not shake...but Saw dust is the same consistency. You understood what OP meant...yet you have to comment and put someone down. Here's an Idea...learn to spell and use Punctuation....
I would love to see a finished bar top or counter top or coffee table, especially with the inserts and resin. I can see small lights, colorful stones, turquoise, etc.
I’m from Australia and we were using band saws to cut a “cypress pine” logs which is actually a hardwood not a pine (a long story) we had to go back to disc saws because the band saws kept on moving around
Beautiful log. Red cedar is my favourite. All that garbage wood you guys chucked to the side is still very usable with some epoxy and a lathe. Bloody good stuff guys. 👍
A few years ago. My wife and I went to an old county fair in Barbarville Florida. I portable saw mill was set up and the operator happened to be sawing up red cedar logs. I purchased a whole log. It was 40 inches in diameter and about 9 ft long. First had him saw it in half leaving the bark on. Then had him cut it down to 6 ft length. Then I had him cut one of the two ft butt pieces into 8 equal pieces for legs. I sold what was left over to someone standing there watching for more than my initial payment to the logger. I had him load my wood into the back of my Bronco . At home I carefully stripped the bark off all the pieces. Gr Cedar wood underneath had some beautuful worm tunnels and holes. I sanded all pieces down to fine grit level. I used a draw knife to shape all eight pieces into legs. 4 were used as legs for a 6 ft. Bench and the other 4 for a 2 ft stool. Then I carved a primitive style checker board 24 x 24 ". Then some other primative Artwork on the rest of the bench. I tell painted the art work and painted the checkerboard barn red and powder blue. I made Red and Blue checkers for the checker board. It became a popular coffee table and game table. And the Cedar provided a warm and cozy scent for the family room. The small stool was used for one player and the couch served to seat the other. When not using them for games. They made a perfect place for magazines and my antique chess board. Everyone loved it. Thanks for the reminder thanks to your video.
Ok pAuse.... Love the video.... One thing... On special cuts or knowing the use of epoxy for any use of it.... I'm going to advise you this one thing.... For your hardeners , I see. You throw all your dust on the ground with the pan trial.... Save your dust for mixing in and filling in spots.... A gallon bag or 2 make a world of difference friends.....
@@kelseyjames618 sure. I know a few wood turners and wood carvers. Knots are common and the use of the actual thing is best. So for a person that uses epoxies or herding compounds , mix in the saw dust and chunks of the material so it stays the natural color, when using glue also. Glue changes the color of anything it touches. So.. table slabs normally have a knot, can be used as filler...
Thanks for reminding me, I actually knew that and forgot... Cuz I was thinking what a shame, and the turquoise just doesn't do it for me. Great that you put that out!
A lot of woodworkers like the nooks and crannies in the wood. They make for interesting projects. Those smaller pieces are good for making segmented rings. Cool to watch you guys cut, thank you so much for sharing!😎🙃
beautiful..when i was living in Kingsville Texas i was carrying some fire wood.. mesquite.. there was a bark scorpion in the bark of one of the sticks.. the guy i was working with jumped away in a big hurry.. and sure enough out came a bark scorpion...i had never seen one being from the state of Maine...
They don't hurt too bad. I had one crawl in a sleeping bag with me once so I was awakened with a little sting surprise. Honestly, it wasn't even as bad as a honey bee. Just startled me a little.
I bet it smells really good right there right now cutting Cutting that cedar logs. I love the smell of cut wood anyways but cedar oh my goodness I love
Very interesting, my sun is autistic and loves going to the wood mill back in my hometown he likes to build things and would love your video thank you and God bless keep cutting
That is some beautiful Cedar‼️ It’s my favorite type of wood. I love the smell of it 👩🏻🏫🥰‼️ Wish I could afford a dining-room table made of that wood. But it’s probably quite expensive, isn’t it? You could probably make all kinds of things out of that wood, even with the small pieces, with the use of Epoxy. I think things are really cool made with Epoxy.
You guys are remarkable. I love watching the progress some those logs are just beautiful pieces. Making beautiful tables. Years age when I was first married we had a beautiful table for the dining room that I service 15 people.
Outstanding! I was thoroughly impressed by the sawmilling techniques shown. Watching those giant logs being handled with such precision is captivating. This video is extremely clear and well-made. I can't wait for your next video. Keep up the superb work!
Why not gain education while idle?! I've learned a lifetime for most in just a year... I vowed decades ago to never go a day without learning something new..

Cedar is always beautiful wood. Those chips are valuable too, perfect to be added to a garden since cedar is a natural insect repellent
Thank you
Love the smell of fresh cedar. Looks fantastic also obviously.
Very interesting, my sun is autistic and loves going to the wood mill back in my hometown he likes to build things and would love your video thank you and God bless keep cutting
Uhhhh MORE PLEASE !!!!
And a huge Hug from Texas 🤗
That is some beautiful Cedar‼️ It’s my favorite type of wood. I love the smell of it 👩🏻🏫🥰‼️ Wish I could afford a dining-room table made of that wood. But it’s probably quite expensive, isn’t it? You could probably make all kinds of things out of that wood, even with the small pieces, with the use of Epoxy. I think things are really cool made with Epoxy.
I love the smell of Cedar that make a pretty table
The smell of cedar makes a pretty table? Huh I don't get it?
I can smell the cedar though my IPad 🤗

Thanks for your video I enjoyed seeing the color and processing of the cedar
My pleasure!
Hello from Idaho...Try to bag the cedar sawdust. Market it in smaller bags for use in clothes closets. Good Luck
You guys are remarkable. I love watching the progress some those logs are just beautiful pieces. Making beautiful tables. Years age when I was first married we had a beautiful table for the dining room that I service 15 people.
Send us a bag of that sawdust, you'r stinking up the neighborhood. 🎉
That would make one hell of a resin cabinet
Heck yeah
I would like to see you mill some walnut logs. It is beautiful. Thanks!
Beautiful pieces! I'd love to see what y'all make out of them!
Thank you
Cedar is my favorite wood. I would love to have those pieces you were kicking around on the ground.
Outstanding! I was thoroughly impressed by the sawmilling techniques shown. Watching those giant logs being handled with such precision is captivating. This video is extremely clear and well-made. I can't wait for your next video. Keep up the superb work!
Well you have no idea what I am watching during this lockdown. I know a bit about everything now🤣
Why not gain education while idle?! I've learned a lifetime for most in just a year... I vowed decades ago to never go a day without learning something new..
