There's a lot of oaks. Isn't there!

[@ManMountainMetals]

@@nicholssawmillandmore someone said something about a willow oak. New one for me 😀

[@shanehumphrey4827]

Love your mill. But the big logs really screw shit up eh ? How many big ones you cut a day ??

[@nicholssawmillandmore]

Thanks. Probably only one or two a day on average.

What size are railway sleepers in USA?

Those were some butt ugly logs, but they did provide some nice looking side lumber as well as the ties. Saw sounds good as usual. Stay safe and cool.

[@nicholssawmillandmore]

Yes they were and did. Thanks and we will definitely try

[@TheWildWestMill]

We have a wooden jig made that shows where the track would sit on the RR tie So we know if it will make a tie or not Basically shows where wane and defects can be or can’t be. It works really well Gotta be boxed heart or close as possible too. We even shipped a couple loads of soft maple RR ties which is a strange one for us

[@nicholssawmillandmore]

That's pretty cool.

[@TheWildWestMill]

Today we sawed Siberian elm. Beautiful looking stuff some call it Chinese elm. Or poor man’s walnut. It has white sap ring with dark brown wood the bark even looks similar. It was nice sawing somthing exotic for a change

[@nicholssawmillandmore]

I've never sawn or seen those or least I don't think I have

[@TheWildWestMill]

@@nicholssawmillandmore Ya we got about 40000 ft in total. Made it into 4/4 rustic flooring it’s turned out really nice. First time our mill has ever seen it in Ontario. But I’m sure everyone will start seeing more of it in the next few years

[@williamellis8993]

Always fun to watch, Jason. I saw some really nice boards coming off of those logs, too.
