- 44" maple on a 36" sawmill. This was a road trip to Barry's place in Sharon PA. He had this HUGE curly maple log I had promised to saw up for him. Had lots of help, Nate and Jonathan from @BissellMapleFarm were there to lend a hand. It was a good time, these guys are always fun.

There is nothing more contagious than George's joy and excitement when milling!
Hey you were having fun too!
@@mcsawmill it's always a blast milling with you, George!
hi there time for a bigger mill , good sawing john
Love your video's. keep them coming #Larrysbrusch
Good work! Beautiful slabs! It just not the same without the stick 🤣
I just discovered your channel, great content.
Thanks!
Good job working out all the unique geometry problems. Next month: Middlefield Custom Sawmill takes delivery of a 20 foot diameter Redwood log and they demonstrate how to saw it on a 36" sawmill.
Watching you mill that log makes me appreciate a nice, small (24"), straight log. Less PITA

I just like making 12ft x 35" slabs. You see a 3 or 4" thick one and it's impressive.
Once again really nice slabs, nice work :)
Where did you get that magnetic GoPro base?
We found it in the woods lol
Looks like a Norway maple
The estate this came from has a lot of old imported trees some I haven't been able to identify yet. (Waiting to see leaves). So it's possible it could be Norway maple.
@@mcsawmill Norway Maple is a ok street tree but crummy lumber tree. So I hope it is not a Norway Maple
Please explain to me why you cut those slabs so thick. What will they be used for? Furniture? Load-bearing beams? Table tops?
Thickness is determined by width, a 20" wide slab 2" thick, these slabs are 34" wide so 3" thick because if they cup you need some thickness so you can flatten it.
@@mcsawmill You didn't answer my question. Who would purchase such slabs and for what purpose(s)?
@@stukaman1162 Barry wanted the slabs for tables, he's turning the estate into a school. Suppose he would sell a few but that wasn't the plan. Heavy wood tables are popular around here.
@Stukaman a bit demanding for a guy watching free content, don't you think?
@@BissellMapleFarm Oh, I see now how this works. BMF: Ask a simple question and get taken to the wood yard.
It's just big for a small mill
Big for skidster too. But small for Matt cremona, yea.
Seal those cherry slab ends they don’t like being that thick
