@13:45 I could think of some beautiful uses for those gnarly, burly off-cuts. From knife handles, to resin infused pieces….hell even the saw dust could be mixed for beautiful filler or the end pieces of Oregon Oak….on the smoker. ;) You did it justice. Bravo Scott!
My grandpa used to take those barky cutoffs and turn them into clocks to give as gifts. He would sand, lacquer and polish them to a glass like finish. They were beautiful!
Cool video. I was shaping a raised panel door for some cabinets I was making out of White Oak and came across a bullet when I shaped the edges, it was lead so it didn’t ruin my shaper cutter fortunately.
Totally amazes me how much trade specific knowledge is required to accomplish tasks like these. Hopefully these guys are finding youngsters who are willing to learn so that all this is not lost! Pray maintain speed and course.
You sure are able to capture the essence of my childhood and young adulthood. I see family, neighbors,and local characters in these logging and milling videos. True unsung heroes of this great nation that literally fought and built what we have taken for granted. People that can see the beauty in some one else's trash and turn into treasure. I miss seeing the eccentric side coming out of the man in the drudgery of the everyday jobs of simply surviving. Keep up the good work Scott.
Simply gorgeous wood, Scott! What a treasure to work with in the future. Boards like that really make you want to "measure twice, cut once," don't they? Hopefully your patience will hold out while they dry...!
Trees are truly amazing beings. They just stay where they grow against all odds, make people do what they want (picking fruits) and ultimately will make nice creations. Thanks for sharing!
Wow, that must have been very exciting! Especially since there will be so many ideas popping up in your mind the second you see all of those beautiful grain patterns! Good luck waiting haha, it will require a lot of patience.
That is some awesome Oak you have there, Scott. You a lucky man to have such good resources to bring out the beauty of that magnificent tree. Thanks for sharing that with us.
Thank you for taking us on the ride in detail about this incredible tree, holy are the faces beatiful. hope to see updates on the drying process and once its ready
As one who saws much of my own lumber for non-structural use, and seen many turned in to beautiful lumber, that white oak log produced spectacular ray fleck! As you say, extremely difficult to find boards as beautiful as those! Thanks for sharing!
Greetings from southern illinois. White oaks seem to be harder to find. We just bought a wood mizer lt15wide after using a 36 in alaskan mill for a year. Plenty of red oaks but havent got a white oak yet. Only cutting what the wind blows down. The last burr oak was 45 in across for 12 ft. You're right patience is key. Some folks just cant stand to wait for 8/4 to dry.
Thanks for sharing all that. Beautiful wood, of course. Funny how time goes by when you've got other stuff to do. I just realized a piece of wood I couldn't wait to use had been put up a year ago.
That tree is absolutely beautiful. I'd love to know the history behind it. Can you summarize why it had to come down? The furniture that will be built from it will last beyond your great grandchildren. Keep up the good work!
I’m a novice, or as I say, a weekend warrior, but that wood is beautiful. I see great opportunities. I stumbled upon your channel by accident, but now I am a regular.
One of my favorite things on this earth is my Lucas Mill. Wish we had white oak in our part of Maine. I've seen some fine red oak and maple nonetheless. How long will they air dry that? Beautiful stuff!
That small piece from the crotch "didn't know what to do with that" is perfect to cut into blanks for the pen turning hobbyists. Or drawer pulls. Or guitar inlays.
I used to paint the ends of the "log " with a heated paraffin wax plus motor oil or just plain oil paint before cutting. You can also seal while in the stack. The ends of the boards will dry faster than the middle resulting in cracking or checking on the end loosing some of the length. You can also put your stickers on the very ends the boards to slow the ends drying faster. When you see the checking it will be too late to halt or slow the progress.
When the tree came down, you could really see the extent of interior rot was significant, because the whole thing just collapsed in on itself on impact with the ground. It’s great that sections were able to be salvaged into such beautiful lumber.
That wood most likely would have been in the fire pit if it wasn't for that friend of yours egging you to come look so hard. You have a gold mine there. Wow that tree is one of a kind. You will have a problem matching that grain to anything else. Incredible. Gold mine.
Just amazing at how an old tree is carefully transformed into beautiful lumber. Too many grand trees are lost to expediency when the only goal is to clear them out.
Goodness, that was really interesting. I've never seen oak that promised to look so good. I'd give serious money for even just one of those boards. I live in New Zealand and we export a LOT of wood, but it is hard for us to source nice hardwood.
Thank you Scott for the wonderful opportunity to saw such a beautiful White Oak!

Beautiful wood Scott. Crazy to think that same tree saw the first Europeans settle that land hundreds of years ago!
Unbelievably beautiful wood! Appreciate the work that went into it and allowing us to tag along to see it!
Mercy!!! You struck Gold with this one Scott.
Gorgeous boards from that good old Oak. Amazing!
That Wood-Mizer is one beautiful machine. So elegant, so effective.
Agreed.
Thanks for bringing me to places that I would have never had the opportunity to visit.
My grandpa used to take those barky cutoffs and turn them into clocks to give as gifts. He would sand, lacquer and polish them to a glass like finish. They were beautiful!
Love quarter sawn white oak. The wait is worth it. Building kitchen with it right now. Thanks for the videos.
That's absolutely beautiful lumber 😮 great video guys
Cool video. I was shaping a raised panel door for some cabinets I was making out of White Oak and came across a bullet when I shaped the edges, it was lead so it didn’t ruin my shaper cutter fortunately.
Beautiful old growth quarter sawn white oak. Beyond gold! Thanks for the video. Jon
Wow, so much detail and precious knowledge from competent people.
Totally amazes me how much trade specific knowledge is required to accomplish tasks like these. Hopefully these guys are finding youngsters who are willing to learn so that all this is not lost! Pray maintain speed and course.
You definitely found the money tree with that white oak . Absolutely gorgeous wood there .
Beautiful, those rays are crazy.

These lumber crafting videos are among my favorites.
Having done some sawmill work before. I can say,that is some of the Prettiest quater sawn lumber I have ever seen.... Keep up the Good work bro...
Good work fellas. Interviewing the miller about his different mills and the modern Lucas circular sawmills world bea good one.
Beautiful tree and great skill in sawing it up! Can't wait to see it what will be created from it!
Simply gorgeous wood, Scott! What a treasure to work with in the future. Boards like that really make you want to "measure twice, cut once," don't they? Hopefully your patience will hold out while they dry...!
Trees are truly amazing beings. They just stay where they grow against all odds, make people do what they want (picking fruits) and ultimately will make nice creations.
Thanks for sharing!
How long will it sit before you feel it will be good to start working with?
Mr. Scott, thank you for sharing with us this process. That is some absolutely beautiful looking wood.
Nice work Scott, another great video

Thank you, Scott!!! Man, oh man, is that absolutely gorgeous and unique!!!
Wow, that must have been very exciting! Especially since there will be so many ideas popping up in your mind the second you see all of those beautiful grain patterns! Good luck waiting haha, it will require a lot of patience.

Amazing how much lumber came from that tree keep up the good work
Beautiful wood, it was stunning to look at in the video
As one who saws much of my own lumber for non-structural use, and seen many turned in to beautiful lumber, that white oak log produced spectacular ray fleck! As you say, extremely difficult to find boards as beautiful as those! Thanks for sharing!
That is going to build some very beautiful items! Fantastic figure in that Oak!
Beautiful, Beautiful, Beautiful 😊
Wow I can not Wait hands down the most beautiful wood I have ever seen
Man, that's awesome. Excellent work
Wonderful lumber! I'll need to drive down to Oregon to try to find something similar for an upcoming console project.
Wow, 5 mins in and 🤯🤯🤯🤯. So much great info here!
What a beautiful log! Gives me ideas for some my oaks that are about ready to come down 😊
Wonderful video a gorgeous wood.
Beautiful fleck.

what a tree.loved the knowledge he gave us on cutting the tree
Cool to hear the knowledge.
Man that is some nice Oak, amazing, looks like a lifetime's worth of wood!
That’s wicked awesome
Great video!
You can clear lacquer the bark pieces and you use colored epoxy in the imperfections in the boards. Lots of options! Beautiful lumber.
Thats like striking into gold vein! Lucky you! Even being able to saw a log like that is real honor.
Thanks for sharing all that. Beautiful wood, of course. Funny how time goes by when you've got other stuff to do. I just realized a piece of wood I couldn't wait to use had been put up a year ago.
Excellent results! Don't you just LOVE Oak?
I am drooling. I LOVE QUARTER SAW WHITE OAK
I always feel much better after watching one of your videos Sir.
Like spar therapy, only MUCH better.
That tree is absolutely beautiful. I'd love to know the history behind it. Can you summarize why it had to come down? The furniture that will be built from it will last beyond your great grandchildren. Keep up the good work!
Beautiful grain on that!!!
Fascinating....thanks for the informative video....
Wow! I would love to get my hands on some of that!
I’m a novice, or as I say, a weekend warrior, but that wood is beautiful. I see great opportunities. I stumbled upon your channel by accident, but now I am a regular.
Beautiful grain! Will make some amazing anything you do with it!
outstanding looking wood
awesome thank you
Milling lumber, especially forest product of such quality is like poetry. Every log has a unique rhythm and rhyme.
Thank you men.
Educational.
Beautiful!
That i some beautiful lumber.
Amazing that is some beautiful lumber. Love this episode
One of my favorite things on this earth is my Lucas Mill. Wish we had white oak in our part of Maine. I've seen some fine red oak and maple nonetheless. How long will they air dry that? Beautiful stuff!
that is some gorgeous lumber. Clear grain white oak is going for $7+ per board foot in my area so you a mint there.
So jealous! Beautiful lumber!
WOW, beautiful, thank you, sir
That small piece from the crotch "didn't know what to do with that" is perfect to cut into blanks for the pen turning hobbyists. Or drawer pulls. Or guitar inlays.
I was going to suggest the same thing and add scales for knives, etc.
Interesting. First time I see a big CHAIN saw mill. Is this better for big logs?
That is some beautiful wood
I used to paint the ends of the "log " with a heated paraffin wax plus motor oil or just plain oil paint before cutting. You can also seal while in the stack.

Incredible.
Those boards are pure gold.
Amazingly beautiful
Nice Lucas mill
When the tree came down, you could really see the extent of interior rot was significant, because the whole thing just collapsed in on itself on impact with the ground. It’s great that sections were able to be salvaged into such beautiful lumber.
Very good video . most informative... what did it cost to turn the white oak into usable lumber
Wow that is some beautiful wood
Beautiful lumber
Hello Scott, I'm new to the EC. Have you considered having a multi-day paid camp on how to run a sawmill or winching or something.?
,a cool video keep up the great content.. Thank you…… Greetings Jörg
Could make a great front door. That wood turned out really great.
How long will they sit for?
I know of a nice little garage wood shop in Ga that those offcuts would look good in.
did you install the new gate you were building ?
use those waste pieces for resin soaked crib boards! theyd look amazing
Master class.
Wow. Those rays!
That wood most likely would have been in the fire pit if it wasn't for that friend of yours egging you to come look so hard. You have a gold mine there. Wow that tree is one of a kind. You will have a problem matching that grain to anything else. Incredible. Gold mine.
Thanks for the awesome content and all the amazing videos!!
Just amazing at how an old tree is carefully transformed into beautiful lumber. Too many grand trees are lost to expediency when the only goal is to clear them out.
White Ox were my glove choice hauling chips in the early 2000s up and down the Willamette Valley, including RFP in Dillard.
