l tell you what the ....Wright write rite>>>Music at the rite time...Dead on..Thanks dead on...!
Just went to the website to see what you have for availability and just as I suspected...nothing. I truly am in love with that Box Elder bleed. I make boatloads of stuff...lighting, furniture...whatever my fancy...and I sure could have used some slabs for new countertops. I have (2) 2x12's side by side that I sanded the daylights out of, burned with a big ass marshmallow tip torch, sanded again, antique walnut stained and spar boat varnished about 6 coats that turned out like glass...
It looks absolutely amazing but I really really love those slabs and could really use a new weekend project...a few weekends maybe...and some new open shelves for my 1940s replica kitchen. Keep us updated for more stock availability! Thanks and you have a great channel!
steve shoemaker why you like yo own comic
This show is addictive, your music choices are on point.
On today's episode of "what did UA-cam recommend today?"
Dayum, my brother! Arkansas sister here, DESPERATELY, wanting to do what you do. Not only is your wood amazing, but the other reason I watch you, is your MUSIC is TOTALLY LIFE AFFIRMING. Though wood is my main passion, music is it's twin. You can't beat a combination like that. Keep on keepin' on, darlin'.
That Box Eldeer was GORGEOUS! Thanks for sharing.
Yes it was!
Sounds like king of tha hill and we are on episode one of what’s on my recommended
Love hank
Was watching and my 12yr old kid said “Dad, I thought you didn’t like king of the hill” she thought it was hank
I appreciate the effort it must take for to create and edit these videos...especially the intros and outros. The music selections and cinematography are on point.
Thank you for your efforts. Frankly I’d rather watch these than anything the networks have to offer.
A productive man working his land and using hus hands to work the tools. The blade turns on the tree, now we have materials to make a house, chair, table, fences, barns, cabinets, doors, floors, trim, musical instruments, bowls, spoons, brooms, roof rafters, walls, siding, window frames, handles for tools, and many many more. Awesome videos, it has to be very satisfying to work in such a beautiful land. Thanks for your efforts. Love the music. Thanks for the names of tunes so we can find and listen again. The man has a kiln too, incredible set up. True USA spirit.🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Wow, God used his paintbrush 🖌 on the inside of this tree! Beautiful!
I have never seen wood red like that. It is absolutely the most amazing thing I have ever seen. Beautiful! Blessings to you.
Recently found the channel and it auto-played this. Tractor in the garage, truck in the front lawn.
Don't know why this is so interesting. I'm a carpenter and enjoy me some nice looking lumber,
but didn't know milling it was so cool.
Welcome aboard!
Oh my! Those slabs are fantastic! I'd love to make a table from one of your slabs. Hopefully, one of these days I'll make it to Tennessee. Nothing in the world like hand sanding a piece of beautiful wood and feeling it under your hands. I'm loving the red running through that box elder!
Listen up team. It's a great video, subscribers...Hit the like button, comment. Support our guy!!!
Very nice video. Thank you. Blessings and peace from UK
That is EASILY the biggest box elder I have ever seen!
...and box elder is TERRIBLY prone to cracking on drying.
Starting watching and immediately thought...I'd be willing to bet that is in Tennessee. Then I heard you say Tennessee. I then looked you up online and you are in my hometown! Small world from UA-cam's recommended!
I love the way you shut down the negative nellies! You have the perfect personality to deal with that! Keep up the good work, me and my grandson watch all the videos and always 👍🏻. p.s. Nice hat!
Gosh that is lovely wood Nathan. I love the red colouring, it's a wood I have never seen before. I have meant to mentioned long ago that I love the aerial views on many of your video entries. They make a great entry. Cheers, Don from South Australia.
Cool, thanks
I have never knew this coloring to be unique. I guess by family having a sawmill and loggers, you don't think about it. However, you never take the beauty for granted. Some wood , some cuts, they turn out extraordinary beautiful. I'm happy to be able to watch you, and not have to get hot or sweaty. It's relaxing. It reminds me of home.
My tree stand is full of Boxelder, I had to cut one down in the spring when the sap was running. It was like I killed an animal the sap was dark blood red and just ran out of the tree.
I turn some and the red really looks good.
that was beautiful Nathan...the middle section of that slab would make one hell of a wild solid body guitar. keep em coming buddy. hey to the family n momma cat from me n crazy cat tommy.
I was thinking it would make a nice bass. But only if when dried the stink is completely gone. My playing stinks enough already.
@@davidgagnon2849 once it was sealed with a few coats of polyurethane you wouldn't smell anything but man would it be one very fine n unique guitar
Almost makes me think a very unique flying V shaped guitar. A good epoxy coat, a maple neck, and ebony fretboard would probably make some great tones.
@@jonathandoe5983 your readin my mind
Had to pause the video to mention that some of your opening shots along with the music are pretty relaxing. I don't often read through the comments to see if anyone else has a similar opinion because quite frankly, I don't take stock in the opinions of strangers. Kind of ironic isn't it?
totally. I'm a musician and I love his bumper music (music at the beginning and end). It's very peaceful seeing the wood cut and then listening to the music.
stunning acreage with woods full of amazing trees and no doubt wildlife, shorter boards still have uses other than building walls or floors
Nathan, watching a Saw Mill is really kind of boring but it is Your enthusiasm and description of the process to find the Beauty of the Wood that makes the anticipation of the Cut so much fun and entertaining.
Great camera work, drone sequence, music, editing, and commentary keeps me addicted.
I'm glad you can't see the grin on my face as I watch, I sure do enjoy your channel!
thanks, appreciate that,
The colour is mesmerizing I'm always pleased surprised what I see next love your day's in the sawmill.
"Any day around the sawmill is a good day." Amen, brother!
I caught note of that too and glad he corrected himself. Being a Sawyer is a Blessing! We need more guys like Nathan on UA-cam. Keep the videos coming. We will keep producing urban sawmill videos from our blazing hot state of Texas. Just wait till winter comes though......LOL!
Love the opening drone shots of your countryside. Nice country. You’re right about that humidity. I’ll stay in South Dakota. We may have sub zero winters but our summers are pretty dry.
Very unique wood! Loved the red lines!
Lovely superb Nice sawing
Thanks 👍
Nathan, when you pour that water on and that lovely piano music, well I am always amazed and humble by the beauty! Thanks Kindly! Love and Peace to You and your Family! And Thank You for your service in the police force as well. I would have left most anything for the love of that present inside those logs! Thanks again! DaveyJO on Pa.
Thanks for producing your videos this is all new to me and I think I'm learning a lot
Interestingly beautiful wood
It really is!
Oh Wow! That is really beautiful
Cool machine maan really cool
Another awesome video! Thanks.
Wow!!! Pretty grain and colors!! I might be interested in a slab of that after kiln drying. I’m going over to the web site and have a look at your walnut slabs. Great idea selling on the web site. You might be surprised at how many people want a slab or two for wood projects!
Love the video Nathan. I really enjoy when you get into the technical details and make it all appear easy. We know it isn’t easy, but your explanations are outstanding!! Thanks!!
W-O-W, Imagine what stories that tree could tell...------------Excuse my ignorance, but would someone enlighten me as to how slabs get from point A to point B? I've never mailed anything but standard boxes through the mail. Used to be, you could send large packages through on the bus. And I've seen surfboards and golf club bags come down the ramp at the airports, so I'm just trying to imagine how Nathan's slabs travel!!!
I love your job!
That is absolutely gorgeous
Great log! I recently picked up one that had a 5’ diameter base trunk! It turned into some beautiful lumber
What an amazing bit of wood this is
Too beautiful to cut a table yes artificail red color on the black mark. Also mixing blue and red in the black mark. resin. Enjoy your vid.
Another solid video Nathan. Well done. I enjoyed watching it
I had not seen your ZoSo tattoo. Respect. I can see how you keep it “Tight, but Loose”. 😎
Or he could just be a fan of Jimmy Page and Led Zepplin and his favorite album is the one with this symbol on the cover
I had a few small planks with red streaks that i turned into plates.
good use!
Tractors in the garage, trucks in the yard 🤔😂
That's some beautiful wood, love your work keep up the great work. Thank you.
Thank you too!
I will have to stay you have me spoiled on your walnut slabs! I a big fan of the box elder but was pleased with the beech from the other week I may change my mind on the bigger box elder when it hits the mill!
Beautiful red color...
That is beautiful wood!
Beautiful slabs ! I can see some nice kitchen cabinet door panels there !
This very interesting grain and color. This first time I've seen box elder. This would be awesome for the people who use imperfect wood buried in epoxy. Then ya wouldnt notice punky wood or smell so much.
Thanks for watching
Nice color. I wish I had a slab so I could make an end table
Another great video, you get better and better! Best Regards Fred Thomas in SKOKIE IL.
Dang it i picked wild teak congratulations to those who guessed it was the Box Elder 👏👏
teak, maybe one day, that would be cool to saw,

That red will turn brown as the wood dries, but it gets exposed again with planing and sanding. Study up on how to seal it so the red stays when you finish it.
I have some dried to 9% and still has red. I also tested using an outdoor finish with a UV blocker and it seemed to keep its red color well so far
@@bobafettbv Mine had some sun exposure and it browned quickly on the surface. While it's native along the creeks in NW KS, it's usually rotten in the middle.
@@stevennoren6398 I have a non air conditioned sun room that I dehumidify to dry wood without being in direct sunlight. That probably helped me. To see how it would hold up I sanded an off cut with some red streaking to 220 grit and finished it with general finishes outdoor oil. I left it in direct sun from a window all summer, no fading of the red. Now that the lumber is dry I'll be planing and jointing them to get them square and then deciding on a project. I'll see if I get any fading during that process.
Wow !
Cool hat! That IS some great looking wood, Nathan! It would make some fine coffee tables or small island tops. 👍🏻
I took down several smaller (10" - 12") box elder trees last year because they were a nuisance. The bark split while they were standing and attracted black and orange bugs called, appropriately, box elder beetles. I don't miss them at all.
Love the color.
When i used to cut trees, I carried wasp and hornet spray. The stuff worked great on carpenter ants.
Great tip!
How beautiful. The rotten area could be replaced with coloured epoxy resin.
The red lines are actually photosensitive. Woodworkers take care to use this type of wood as an interior secondary wood where it doesn't get much sunlight.
The crotch figure at the top looks like it was a forked top to the tree. Up here in WI we have a lot of weeping willows that grow quite large but they have a problem, the end up with tops like that box elder appears to have only more so. They are prone, the willows of collecting water in that split and eventually the whole core of the tree rots out. Looks like that may have started on your tree. Glad they caught it, the majority could've rotted out and left them with a very dangerous tree.
Ye ha!! Unreal.
Boxelder, Acer negundo, or Ashed Leaved Maple is not a specimen plant. It is considered a weed tree, but it does get very large, at least in southwest Ohio.
Love the Jimmy Page tattoo! 👍
I like how you pulled the tractor out of the garage and your truck was on the front lawn.
Wow that red in the log looks cool!
Awesome wood, makes me jealous!
I do think that wood would make a great cofeefee table.
This could turn out to be a bloody long note!!- I used to run a Timber Fabrication Shop within my Construction plant Workshop- no lovely pieces of kit like yours I’m afraid but it help feed my love of timber in all its forms! Anyway, Sir, I have SO MUCH in the short time I’ve been fortunate enough to find and watch your wee videos!! ( your camera work for someone who works alone? is becoming more and more skilled!!- plus of course the use of the Drone camera and music-!pity about the straw “ Hat” though! If I was closer to TB I could donate one of my beloved Panama Hats! Now they are GGGREAT"” )
I’ve visited many Timber Suppliers and Workshops in the U. K. But as a old , not able to work , Mechanical Engineer on Cranes, Tower crânes & all Construction Plant & Equipment, I both. MISS working on thss as t type of machines and ENVIOUS of YOUR FANTASTIC Sawmill machine. AND YOUR SKILL & EXPERTISE!! You have taught meSO MUCH!! Please accept my sincere thanks for the opportunity!!
( you’d do really well back in Wales!! LOTS of trees- OLD Trees but also mountains & hills!
Again? Regards and many Thanks to a Professional, JohnH
A big pile of sawdust means you've had a good day!
hello fellow tenneseean! It has been way too hot lately.
agreed
I got a hold of a few branches of box elder when I first started power carving. I should say that wasn't years ago but just last April or May and it had some amazing color runing around it because it was heavily spalted so there was so much blue my soaring horizontal eagle looked like it had map on it and the blue was water and the white was land really cool stuff. The red faded out but the blue is still really strong
I love that intro music!
Great video, thanks for the drone footage, and the music. Nice color in tree.
What does the kiln do to the
color in this tree? CB
What a great vid. Your sound scape was beautiful, as is that wood, wow! Is the red caused by the box elder bugs? I used to have an enormous box elder but my God, the bugs!!
Yes thy
Wicked
Box elder smells like hell when you burn it also. Always refered it to as a weed tree. Nearly impossible to kill the tree. I've seen many stumps try growing back sprouting off the sucker roots.
Wood magazine did an article on box elder a number of years ago. I believe that red streaking is also part of the spalting process of box elder. Because of the red streaking, wood turners enjoy putting it on a lathe. Also box elders are quite sappy. Some areas have tapped the trees and turned the sap into syrup where hard maple doesn't grow as well. Hopefully the syrup tastes better than the tree smells.
Those look really nice. I am looking for a unique, small slab. One of those would probably be perfect when they are ready.
Great log! Love Box Elder. Only wish we had more access to it here in Texas. Have yet to run into a urban box elder log to save and give a 2nd life.
What blades are you typically running on hardwoods?
It strikes me that milling timber is a bit like heading into an unexplored country; you never know what you're going to see until you get there.
agreed.
Nice Led Zeppelin tattoo!
reminded me quite a bit of Blackjack oak with the coloring, but unlike that wood this isn't plum full of knots
Cover those slabs in most dead leaves and kick the Spalding up into high gear. The amount of flame is pretty low in that log so the Spalding would certainly be much more valuable
good advice, thanks,
@@OutoftheWoods0623 love your videos, thanks for responding and thanks for entertaining us with your work
I could have swore this guy was from North Alabama. But he's a little further north. 😊😊😊😊
Music=👍🏻
Funny how the "negative nellies" just appear :-(
I guess young folk are no longer taught the concept "if you cannot say something nice, don't say anything at all".
Great vid, and box elder is always interesting.
Turning crowd seems to love it.
Ive not worked with box elder yet.
Most here in central MO despise it because of the beetles, tough to find big ones.
Keep on keeping on sir!
As the wood dries the red color will fade a bit but will usually darken up again a bit when a clear coat is applied. I e heard that the red color is a response to some type of injury to the tree but I don't know if there's any truth to it.
How hard is box elder? Can it be used for floors.... that pattern would make a killer floor :)
I have been told by a wiser and older gentlemen that box elder when you cut or burn you will smell were the tree grew.
They all stink when you saw them.
No elder makes great stable wood for drawer sides and other woodworking. Don’t let it lay outside on the ground if you plan to saw it it takes on water and rots fast.
Wouldn't opening up the far end doors help air flow? Thanks for this, boxelder is a unique kind of tree.
I enjoy your show ..thanks for the hard work. I have a question..why do you keep the logs on the ground instead of on timbers like maybe a 4×6 or something like that.
👍
Damn it man
Gorgeous stuff! What's causing those areas of inconsistent blade patterning? I'm guessing it's chatter, but why is it happening?
that first slab would be great for bowls too. is that standing live tree a black locust? i never seen a real pic of one.
I would love into see the other side!of the first cuts that you dispose of. Make good art pieces.
