Cottonwood and willow make good wood for boxes and crates and sometimes ply wood the wood as a tendency to warp. Aspen is used for its pulp to make paper.
Aspen "Poplar" is used some in the paper Industry but as a filler, anymore its cost to produce Aspen pulp vs. chemical costs. Mill I worked at still uses stone grinders for its poplar pulp and when the cost of electric is to high they switch to more clays.
Your "big" cotton woods a lot smaller than we have here in NZ...chainsaw milled a 7ft dia log a couple of years ago...recovered 8 12x12 beams from it...25ft of clear lumber
So what do use cotton wood for ? If i am right cotton wood is soft wood we use to use it in oil field in Oklahoma we used it to roll pipe on and stack them, and use them them for the bases of for the legs of it as I remember it did not way heavy to speed of 😬🍺
Biggest I ever sawed was about 48" at butt end with 36" carriage and vertical edgers. We had to split the log down the centre first though with chainsaw and loader.
I wonder what a cottonwood slab 2-3 inches thick would look like with a stain brushed on it. Seems a shame to use that big just for firewood. Yowsers she a big one.
does this operation have several saws in the mill and is this saw shown on the Cottonwood used for squaring and sizing logs then? really interested to getting the full picture of the sawmill.
Lots of pallets, and also for grade lumber for export. A lot of furniture is cottonwood only we aren't told that. Sears used to have walnut stained magazine racks and small walnut stained end tables that were cottonwood. I know this for a fact because I worked for the mill that sold the grade lumber to the company that made them for Sears
Logger Wade I meant for instance the beams that are cut out. Showing how they are either made to be installed or fitted into a home or barn or "what-not", Thank you for your great videos.
was that cut correctly,,,,,looks to be a good opportunity for some really wide cuts,,but he kept flipping and cutting,,,,id have thought the money would have been in wide boards
Dang this log needs its own playlist
I wish I had a chance to learn how to saw.......been running the planer for 18 years...if I ever get a chance I will try to learn it.

Best part is when the two guys were climbing 1 foot from the spinning blades.....😖 be careful.

Good thing OSHA wasnt there. Not shutting down that saw to fix that board would of been a 10k fine.
Wonder how much that log was worth ive got access to cut a few if cottonwoods like 5 to 6 ft around big boys

How'd that sawdust smell? Where I'm at they get pretty smelly and not in a good way lol
Enjoyable watch - thanks for uploading.
By the way, what is Cottonwood used for, It's not a tree we have in the UK.
Paul it's pretty much just crating wood nothing special
HEAVY DUTY BLOCKING.
Is it mused in pallets?
used

a bit more excitement in this one.
Is there any way you'all could shoot a video using the wood that you film in a build like process? We'd be much obliged thank you.
Artemus Rodricq I thought about doing it someday, the mill is not my department so I don't just run around in there freely with a camera

z lindauer yeah
Algoma lumber in Wisconsin can handle 60 inch.they have two way bandsaw I believe..
Never seen one that big that wasn't holler.
I hear that bub
If you have to go to the business side of the saw blade, you should turn the saw blade off. Way to high of a risk to anyone's life.
looks a lot like cedar
1 wrong fall doa

Sorry camera man, I'd like to see the log not everything else.
A LOT OF THE WORK IS DONE BY SHADOW LIBE I USED TO DO THIS ALSO FOR A WHILE.
We got a laser light now had a bad fire one time from a shadow light

bill45colt that would be a flat sawn cut, this way it is mostly quarter sawn.
