Dang man that butter nut has a very nice grain and glow to it....I don't know but that's about as pretty a grain l have seen.....l had a woodworking shop and cabinet shop back in the 1970's.....To beat all lighting struck it on a Sunday and burned it to the ground....Thanks for the video...!
For the love of God man, please share with us your spotify playlist if you have one! I never heard these bands and I am always humming them. Awesome videos with great music taste!
Out of the Woods beautiful slabs ! Don't see much butternut
. How much each Blade cost has to cut that tree
@@stevenmarcinkowski8577 I used to gather butternuts when I could find them, the trees are rare and I'm sure even more rare now, it's a shame too such unique flavor and amazing looking wood
When I was a small boy 65 years ago we have a big butternut tree, it produced nuts and I loved them. But it quit producing fruit and I have not known of another butternut tree since and have never seen the actual wood. Thank you.
Sadly it's endangered because of a fungus from overseas.
The very best looking boards I've seen in many years!
I love watching these as they explain so much. A lot more goes into cutting the logs including considering the width, the grain, center/pith and other items. It takes decent planning and a good eye to really get the best from the wood. Nice.
Been watching these for about a week now. It's amazing, the variety of woods out there.
I have no idea how this ended up on my feed. And I have never worked with wood in my life. This video gets my upvote.
Jrbr 549 wish I was a young lady starting out in life. This is what I would do. I’m good at a few things but never found my passion in life. At eighty I now realize where my passion would be. Outdoors working with wood. Nature. Too little too late. There was a time when this popped out in highschool and I wanted to take auto repair classes. They turned me down. No girls. I remember always hanging around my father while he was changing oil fixing tire etc. it actually interested me at twelve. Later in life I was on the on road had flat and was changing my tire. The only hard part was getting the the lug nuts off. I never had a lot of strength at 110 lbs but man stopped to over help to little woman I was almost trough so I thanked him and he just shook his head saying I’ve seen it all. Whatever you feel you get excited about doing in life explore it it can lead to the moon if you keep at it. I’ve always felt I never lived to my potential and for that I’m sad.

I am 61 yrs old ... became a gold miner this year
Dabbled with it a little on the side back in my prime
Oh , I was a Superman ... now ... Clark Kent
I move slow but steady ... finding and recovering gold ... a one man show
I Love it !
I am also a woodworker and cannot leave it alone
I am small time
I find a tree or a big hunk of drift wood along the river and take it home ... let it dry out ... then I cut it up
I mostly use handtools ... result ... beautiful wood
Sometimes I make something outta that wood
Everything from a table to the handle on a spatula
It's all good
I live in Texas l make gun racks. I made one just for my guns. Now l sell 2 or 3 a week
Out of the Woods oh my that is some real pretty dark wood grain I love it soo pretty. Thanks for the nice video be blessed with loving care and grace.
That is the best accent I’ve ever heard, I could listen to you all day. Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺
So cool...and I love your music!
Thanks buddy
Absolutely stunning butternut. Love the dark heartwood.
WOW what a beauty. I was so excited for that first cut to see what hidden treasure was below the bark. The color and grain is spectacular. Sure is going to make a beautiful piece of furniture.
Thanks. Appreciate you watching
Lovely superb Nice sawing and the grain of this timber log was really very nice.
I love lumber. The look of it, the smell, the feel of it. Must come from memories of hanging out with my daddy when I was a kid. He was a carpenter, built houses the hard way...hand saw and hammer. I picked up scraps.
New subscriber here from England, every fresh slice of timber a joy to see here, cheers!
Beautiful straight grain wood. Love the shot of your sawmill assistant (kitty).
thanks, appreciate you watching
I was one that voted butternut. I'm glad I did, that is beautiful.
good choice!
Can't wait to see the next episode of this remarkable wood. Very nice Nathan
thanks Rags,
OMG....that is some beautiful looking wood !
Beautiful wood and great milling ... keep the video's coming
Thank You ! Sparrow
Thanks, will do!
Omg. I can smell that wonderful fresh wood. How beautiful and God gave it to us free. To keep us warm to make our lives easier in hundreds of ways. He gave us trees
Outstanding colors Nathan, I've thought since the first log I ever opened that the customer doesn't see the best in the log , you show them what they're missing! I've been going back through your older videos and must say they get better all the time !
I have the flu..so have time ..ended up watching tree cutting and sawmill videos.. It has been relaxing.. Nice video
An old timer Clyde Jenkins lives here in Pine Grove Va makes rocking chairs out of butter nut. He also makes baskets. Been making them since he was a kid. A handed down thing. His parents and grand parents were displaced from the blue ridge here when SNP came into existence.
Anyways, yeah that's some mighty pretty wood you got there sir.
What beauty you get to find! My dad and I used to have a rock saw and the beauty you get to discover in stones is pretty sweet too
Bless his heart ,I love his Accent!
I know right! I like how he changes the word "pith" into a 2 syllable word. Piath.. That butternut turned out just beautiful. Love the dark grain within.
awesome grain in that log Nathan. you also made crazy tommy's day by showin momma there at the end. I swear, I think this crazy ol' cat must think he about in love or somethin. cant wait to see the rest of that log n its longer brother get milled. n im lookin forward to seein your garden tour. happy millin my friend
thanks buddy,
Beautiful views of your land are inspiring - I’ve never been to Tennessee, but sure would like to. And I had never heard of butternut wood - very nice. I really enjoy your channel!
thanks for watching,
Thank you so much for showing Curtis Buchanan's website. If I ever win the lottery, I will definitely buy some of his chairs !
yes, they are worth every penny,
BEAUTIFUL, HOW GIFT TO THE WORLD !
Man, that is a great piece. Beautiful color. I would love to see Mr. Buchanan's finished work
Between the butternut, the music and your thick accent - I tried to give you three thumbs up !
That wood is insane. I'd love to build a table with it! Thank you for sharing with us.
Good lord what beautiful wood that is! Imagine flooring made from it..
Thats what I was thinking. Big giant slabs covering the floor.
it is soft, you prob. won't enjoy it for long.
@@methanbreather That's why you harden it with epoxy
I hav decleared my self utube insane! Omg am watching log cutting!I even gave it a thumps up!
I know.. i'm ashamed to tell people I enjoy spending hours watching log cutting on youtube. They just wouldn't understand ;)
Same here, but at 4:41am.
lool
I rotate between log cutting and zit popping.i need help!
Spectacular! Thank you for sharing that beautiful grain with us. The water at the end!!! Man, that was beautiful! Cheers
BEAU...TI...FUL...This should be a regular log at your Mill!!!!! Tell Curtis we need to see a few pieces of his finished work from this wood even though it will be a while down the road in time!!!!!!!!! Great cameo by Curtis!!!!... This is how you network by build friends and clients!!!!!!!!!!
thanks Stan,
Well produced, great content!
You sure do get some interesting wood. Many people never heard of butternut, but those were one of my favorite nuts when I grew up in N. Ohio.
Oh-WOW, that is some good looking wood. I've been looking at fine woods for about 40 years, and I think the hair on the back of my neck stood-up when I saw that grain come up after wetting.
You need to get some more of that wood! Love the vids....keep em' comin'.
agreed the hunt for butternut starts now lol,
@@OutoftheWoods0623 Thanks for the reply, keep up the hard work-we like watching. I have a big tomorrow. I'll help cut the 1,400 lbs. of BBQ Brisket our local volunteer fire department is cooking all night tonight....gotta go, be there at 8:00 to start carving meat, and 400 lbs BBQ sausage too!- Center Point, TX Volunteer Fire Department.
I did my entire first floor of our cape home with butternut.....it has mostly
Died off up here in Vermont. Got some rough cut...air dried it and planed
It myself...laid it with a cut nail and used biscuits very liberally! Glued the
Biscuit one side only and let the other float and move as needed.
Beautiful floor and wears like a white pine board floor
It is said that there is a canker disease killing off the butternut trees over a widespread area & they are crossing the tree with the oriental heartnut creating the buhartnut tree.
Beautiful wood. Reminds me of some really nice Teak I've had in the past. The oranges and browns take your breath away just like this does.
Very Interesting! My Grandfather wouldn't believe this amazing milling machines. He was a Dairy farmer and amateur woodworker. The man knew his Trees though and certainly passed that knowledge to his Male Grandsons. Thanks for this video
Dom. Johannes Benedict O.S.B. As opposed to his female grandsons?
That is the most beautifully grained piece of timber I have ever seen
Right on Nathan. Good looking butternut
thanks Hank,
Oh my, that wood is so beautiful. Look at the lines on that. I love your usual walnut slabs but the patterns on them are not what you'd see in Europe - they're wider, swirlier (if that's a word) and therefore more exotic to me, which is one reason I like watching them emerge from the log. However that Butternut has a closer, tighter feel to it and is more akin to what we're used to and love in our own woods but it doesn't grow here at all, which makes it more familiar and even more exotic both at the same time. If I had the money I'd start a butternut import business! Naturally Ms Cat would be on the board of directors. 🤩
That is a mighty good looking piece of wood. I can see some very nice chairs coming from it.
yes sir, i was blown away by the colors,
1st time watching something like this & the whole process is pretty amazing. The wood is just incredible beautiful! My grandfather worked in a saw mill before he went off to WWI. I can't begin to imagine how difficult the work was w/o all the new equipment! Thxs for sharing
Wood-Mizer makes the best sawmills 😀
Having run a volkswagon engine mill years ago I was truly impressed by this mill.
The color of this wood is epic.
I worked some in woodworking when I was younger in a woodworking mill that did archetectual woodworking & worked with some of both black walnut & butternut, but black walnut was more used !!!!!!1
best looking slab i have ever seen on your channel. excellent
appreciate it,
@@OutoftheWoods0623 Hard to beat walnut.
WOW! Look at that grain. That will make gorgeous furniture.
WoW, never seen Butternut sawn before. Beautiful slabs.
yeah so nice, first time sawing this species,
Great video, Nathan! Nice rundown on your plans! That Butternut is gorgeous! I've noticed your flourishing garden in your last two videos and was wondering about it. It looks like it's doing amazingly well. Glad to see you've decided to show it to us! Thanks! #KeepTheChipsFlying!
appreciate it,
Curtis takes that gorgeous grained wood for chair seats and PAINTS them over. Oh God the villainy of it.
Wrong
he paints the pine seats not the butternut ones,
@@OutoftheWoods0623 Thank GOD!
I’ve been using butternut to trim out my bedroom. Beautiful wood. Has leaves and smells just like black walnut. The nuts are similar too, except shaped like a lemon. There’s not very many left, some kind of fungus is doing them in. I’ve been planting them on my place but few make it knee high. Stay awesome.
Man, I get it when you say Christmas. I've seen a lot of woods, but I've never seen wood with those colors all mixed together.
Thanks for watching
@@OutoftheWoods0623 I'm a long time wood fiddler arounder, I "remodel" my own guitars. I like your narrative style, hearing about woods I've never used, and I love shaping wood.
Thanks for the video, that is one impressive mill. Beautiful colour in those slabs. You should approach the chair maker and see if you could follow the follow the log all the way through to a finished chair. That would be something .All the best
Sir, I need you in my front yard tomorrow morning! Very cool demonstration of wood coolness.
Wow , butternut just became one of my favorite woods. Honestly I never heard of it.
Jim Younger ....aka white walnut.
The butternut is unfortunately endangered because of a mushroom like disease that destroyed the population once in 1980ish and in 2017 I believe.
But yes the wood and syrup is great

But yeah its great
My Dad’s house is over 120 years old, and between the basement and the attic it has 47 butternut doors and trim including two amazing fireplaces. Beautiful wood.
Beautiful wood my friend! Nice saw mill also! Thanks from New Jersey. It is miserable hot and humid here also
There's some lovely guitar body grain in there.
The best guitar wood is inert, no grain, the same why carbon fiber makes the best violins.
You would have an instrument that's beautiful to look at.
Wow, that is quite a beautiful grain.
Wow, that's beautiful grain structure and color!
Thanks 👍👍👍👍
What a slab ....Beautiful Absolutely Beautiful
I had a hudson mill for years and sawed a lot of lumber with it! Every log you cut in to is like opening a Christmas present! Very addicting! I am thinking about getting another mill and will probably go woodmizer this time, much higher quality machine!!
Love the variations of color in the wood from light to dark
A great education on the different types of wood.. good job Out of the Woods
Thank you for building this video.
Beautiful. Great job.
Thank you! Cheers!
Nice job, you really seem to care about doing the best with the wood. Wow great mill!
thanks Chuck, appreciate you watching
I'd say he won the log lottery with that Butternut.
Glad you chose the butternut and that it's going to Curtis. That's a win, win...
Wow, what a beauty‼️
My family home growing up had a huge butternut planted at the turn of the century in 1900. It still stands today.
Stunningly beautiful piece of wood. Even dry.
When I worked with an excavation co in middle TN, there were beautiful candidates for lumber that were pushed into a burn pile, that is my biggest pet peeve with construction, the waste of trees, rather than have someone come in and cull out what has been pushed down, they quickly pile them up, pour diesel on them, and light it up to burn for a week or two!
Wow, what stunning timber.
That first slab is gorgeous
Absolutely beautiful wood ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you very much!
Nice great looking slabs !!!!!
Absolutely beautiful wood!!
thanks, appreciate you watching,
Wow,the butternut is gorgeous. Wondering if I could afford one board. 🙂 Nice equipment you have. Quite different from the old time sawmill. I enjoyed your video. Thanks for sharing with us.
thanks for watching,
My eyes just had a breakfast...that is a beautiful pattern right of the bat..
Nathan, that is some really beautiful grain!👍🏼
Man, I wish those would have been made into table tops. Such beauty
I am a hardwood lumber inspector, nhla certified. I've inspected roughly thirty thousand foot Lumber for 5 days a week for nearly 20 years. And I can tell you I've never seen two pieces of lumber that looked exactly the same some look close but not the same.
Ahhhhh, very nice! Keep em coming. 👌
thanks Barry,
Your videos have been extremely helpful. My employer recently purchased a LT50w and I am the one he put on the machine with little more than commonsense. I’m still going through your video library hoping to find one with more info on the blades themselves. Thank you again for the content looking forward to your future videos.
thanks Paul good luck with the 50, great sawmill, FYI I haven't done any blade videos, other than just sharpening
The color of the wood from that log is a really good color.
Wow. Beautiful wood. Imagine the end result.
Great channel thanks, I love that machine.
That’s got to to be the best log cut yet.
yes it is right up there with the best
How long does it take for a log to be right for your type of sawing?
That wood is so beautiful, love it.
thanks for watching,
That is really beautiful looking wood
Thank you very much!
What a gorgeous table that would make!
Holy smokes!!!!! What beautiful wood off that butternut!!!!! Very, very nice. I am a brand new subscriber. My father loved wood! Had a ShopSmith and made each of us kids clocks, lamps and candlestick holders. Jewelry boxes for the granddaughters!!! Hope it cools off for you!!!!!
Hey I'm learning a lot here thanks mate.
thank you for watching,
That’s the most beautiful wood. Amazing.
What a beautiful piece of nature's artwork!
