      That is one huge apple tree. I assume you sell the waste wood for firewood, or in the case of apple or other aromatics, you make it available [or sell] to interested parties? That is some beautiful slabs you are cutting.

    My dad was a wood carver years ago . I turned butter molds out of apple very dense grain .Dad carved cows and mules out of apple .I guess his favorite wood was butternut.He was the resident carver for John Cambell Folks School. Brasstown ,N.C. He passed in the early 80's. I'm the youngest of our family and in my late 60's.I have a 26 inch manul band mill. I only cut for myself. I enjoy your sawmilling. My brother had a automated Mizer I taught him how to mill.Keep up the good vidoes.I live on the Ga.-N.C. line.

    I graded for 25 years .. I still do. can't see wood casually. ha..ha..
    Butternut was my favorite.. Never got tired of seeimg it...every one has their favorite... I got roped into grading lots of walnut..rules are very different for it. Knots dry and won't fall out. They are part of the character of walnut..
    Good video
    We steamed the walnut. The sap wood turned the same color as the heartwood. I once slipped in about 300 hundred feet of good ash in with the walnut. Alternate layers.. 4 quarter. The walnut stain went completely thru the ash. Was beatiful. A cabinet maker bought all the walnut stained ash. Some woman has a set of very unique cabinets. Cherry steams well too. Dyes the sap wood.

    I cut down and old growth apple tree at my grandmothers! The base of the tree was like 53 inches across at the base! I'm 53 years old and still the biggest apple tree I've ever seen! Had branches like the one you are sawing in this video!!!

    Beautiful log. I have 4/4 spalted apple from a tree in my back yard. Very unique grain structure. The base of the tree was over 28inches. When the tree fell because of a storm. The two trunks were over 12' long. You did a great job sawing.

    Apple is great for turning too. I have some short log sections a friend gave me after cutting down an apple tree and it’s great to work with and finishes beautifully. Nice grain structure and color and polishes to a real shine. Do have to be careful with drying though as checks very readily.

    Another great use for apple wood is on your grill! Dried chunks set to smoke are great on pork, fowl and fish. On a gas grill a cast iron smoker box works well and wet chunks on charcoal (just soak 'em for the time it takes to get your charcoal ready to cook, then toss them on the hot coals).

Looking forward to watching the rest of your videos, I'm sure they'll help in my decisions on what to look out for when buying lumber. Great video quality, editing and the music at the end portrays the feeling of the beauty in lumber. Thank you.

    I grew up in northern Indiana and I could show you some 100+ year old apple trees that are almost 3-4 ft in width and the branches that can be about 2 ft, so apple trees can get very big. I love the way apple wood smells when it's being cut/burned and maybe I'm crazy but every cut you made had my whole kitchen smelling like apples, beautiful stuff.

    When I was a child we had an apple tree in our back garden and my mother used to graft 'twigs' from different varieties on to it. She grafted so many I could reach out of my bedroom window and choose what sort of apple I wanted to eat from sixteen (I kid you not) varieties all on the one tree. She would prune the tree every year and we'd burn the offcuts as firewood - it scented the whole house; I could smell it with every cut you made. Mmmmmm.

    Those scraps are a goldmine beyond just BBQ chips. As a knifemaker, I can tell you that some of those small scraps can be turned into knife scales (handles). Book matched pieces 2"x 7" x 1/2" are desired. Check out some of the knife scale sites. The are also used for grip scales on handguns, which are now almost all plastic from the factory. Good Luck.

    Beautiful heart wood. I cut an apple tree and sawed one of the pieces to make a clock face It was in log form about 16” long. That log split from the center like a clock about five different directions from the center. I have never seen wood do that before. But it was really wet and heavy. So maybe it dried too fast?

    I'd love to get my hands on some apple. I just got into wood working at the beginning of this year. Prior I just enjoyed refinishing furniture. I got me a small collection (miter saw, table saw, jointer, planer) still need a drill press, router table and band saw. I do have a jigsaw tho. I planed down some black walnut and elm for some cutting boards for everyone for christmas. Currently working on a maple/black walnut computer desk for myself. It's fascinating. Taking a tree down here locally, drying it, milling, planing, sanding, building with it. Sure beats some pressed board Walmart crap. I enjoy the videos. I keep a lookout for new ones.

      1976 I lived in N C Washington state. Orchards then still had apple trees planted on 40 x 40 spacing. I had several limbs the size of yours. Wood was good for small woodworking projects but not good for others. I made a cant hook handle out of beautiful apple wood but the first time I used it to turn a small log, handle snapped in half. Wood doesn't have much torsion strength.

    Man, apple! Who knew! What’s the hardness of apple like? Is it pretty workable? A nice fretboard made out of that might be sweet.

      Apple wood has the highest btu's for firewood of any tree in our new England region. Hickory is second to it. Only trouble is its very gnarly and twisted. This was a good straight log that I dont see much from orchard trees around here. Love the color and grain on this!

      I have many pieces of an old apple tree(about 100 yrs.) to dry.
      It seems not so easy for working but the tone of the wood is fantastic, like the best maple wood.
      So bright.

      Apple is hard and dense as hell. Worked with it only once, but its really nice.

      Did a lot of woodturning using a very old Macintosh tree in my yard. Beautiful but very wet
