Mark, what a wonderful way to start a Sunday morning. Thank you.. I bought about 30 metres of 4 inch by 1.5 inch rough sawn douglas fir yesterday. It is about 80 years old. Recovered from demolished house. Beautiful timber. I am somewhat jealous that you get to work with such beautiful timbers. Have great life
I enjoy watching your skill at sawing. Definition Dog= any of various usually simple mechanical devices for holding, gripping, or fastening that consist of a spike, bar, or hook
I'd like to see the finished stacked products. I think it would be interesting to see more close-up stuff of the goods. I can sleep to the sound of that motor. You guys make a good team even when you're sawing on the fly. I wish you guys could talk like NASCAR or NASA crews you know but without getting in the way. Just so you're safe and make it to the house.
Mark that was one nice black locust log you do not see many get that big without some rot I enjoy your videos I run a band mill and I specialize in locust lumber thanks again jb
Looks and sounds like a new blade? I remember the "Hedgeapple" trees on my grandparents farm in Ohio. I always thought it was beautiful wood, but grandpa cut it all for firewood. Snap, crackle, pop!
I live in East Tennessee it’s very hard to find Black locust that size. Black Locust is a really really good tone wood for acoustic guitars. It’s just really hard to find it big enough. Awesome sawmill I love your channel.
Your welcome! I know a very well known luthier one of the best in the country and he said he’d rather use black locust than Brazilian if he were to build a guitar for hisself. He has an incredible stock of Brazilian too lol. If you cut off a small piece tap on it you can hear it ring like a bell
Down south there is a Water Locust - Gleditsia aquatica that appears so much to be a Honey Locust - Gleditsia triacanthos. It grows in wet damp areas hence its name. The immature Honey Locust is easy to ID in that the leaves are different (Simple compound) than when they mature but the adult leaves of both look the same (double Compound). The bark is different between the two. Black Locust - Robinia pseudoacacia is in another tribe entirely. Yes, they have thorns too.
What do dogs do ? They debark . LOL Do honey locust have the flowers and black don't or are they male female ? I was near some flowering locust boy did they ever smell nice . My brother said you could put a locust post in the ground and it would last for ever and not rot off . they dug a black walnut squared timber out of the river bank that was over 100 years old . People talk about gum trees in the United States ,I never heard that in Canada . What tree are they referring to. You say popular where we have popular that beavers cut down and the big log cousIns we call cotton wood . Ours has cotton silk with the seeds in the spring . I cut a Catolpa log 30" and had it sawn into boards oily and full of water and smells terrible when cut into even after dry and really soft ,you can dent it with your nail . Thanks and keep sawing .
About the "dogs". Woodworkers have bench "dogs" that don't bite. If you made the contact point wider with smaller pins you could call them "cats". Might cause a sensation.
I enjoy random videos sawing random logs. Our dairy barn is rock elm truss with mostly tamarack rafters. Is tamarack a hard wood to saw?? I ask because I have a heck of a time trying to pound nails into tamarack.
Another name for tamarack is larch depending where you live in North America people call it different thing once it’s dry it’s very hard to pound nails into
I knew a guy who had some good sized black locust on his land. He planned to use it for a fence around a horse pasture. He was going to take it a local mill to get square posts and fence boards cut. Unfortunately, he waited 2 to 3 years before hauling it to the mill. The sawmill was comparable to John’s bigger outfit. The old sawmill guy completed the work but told the customer if he had any more to get sawn, he was more than welcome to take it somewhere else! It was very difficult to saw and took a long time due to hot blade issues. 🥸👍✅
I don’t know why I am so entertained watching logs get sawed. See y’all next video.
Very cool to get a saw video on Saturday.
thanks Jeremy.
Always a pleasant surprise seeing a new sawing video pop up in my youtube subscription feed.

thanks John , yes they get ants in them and rot in the pith.
We use a lot of locust for building and fences. Happy weekend!

Great video Mark and Eddie. Nice looking board's. Take care.

Hi. Beautiful black locust. 😍 I had an idea. July 4th Edition of Red, White, & Boom! plaque? 😆😊😉👍❤️💜🙏
thanks Lawrence , good idea!
Happy Saturday!😊
thanks Mel!

thanks Clay , never heard of black locust used for guitars.
Your welcome! I know a very well known luthier one of the best in the country and he said he’d rather use black locust than Brazilian if he were to build a guitar for hisself. He has an incredible stock of Brazilian too lol. If you cut off a small piece tap on it you can hear it ring like a bell
Boom have a wonderful weekend
thanks Mark.
Good show Mark and Eddie
thanks Chris.
If you find one with no center rot and no wind damage good stuff. Bugs or aunts drag in? Hard on chain
hello mark and eddies its is randy and i like video is cool thanks friends randy

Thanks for the bonus video, Mark. Nathan would have been sawing that one for the crotch figure.
Bill
your welcome Bill , yes he would have lol!

thanks Patty , Eddie says the honey locust has thorns all over it not sure if it has flowers .
Black locusts make good fences posts
yes it does and it lasts for many years.
Army corps in our area are eradicating a lot of black locust for firewood
And a dog (in engineering) is to hold something from moving
yes it is the best firewood for sure.
Hatch latches on Navy ships are called "Dogs", as in "Dog down the hatch".
thanks Ron , good info on the dogs.
Thanks!
thank you!
Thanks for the video!!!
your welcome Karen.

Is the Black Locust in the Cypress family? The butt end look a lot like a cypress tree.
That was some nice lookin lumber
I want to build a cabinet out of black locust .
@@markgalicic7788 I'm sure that it'll look awesome Mark
Harder than woodpecker lips
yes for sure Ryan.
My favorite wood but I hate the smell. Big boom to you.
it smells like black pepper.
@@markgalicic7788 l like pepper and it don't smell like black locust.
hi good show john
thanks John.
I love black locust
good for outdoor use.
👍
🙂
Do good, be safe.
thanks Mark.
I enjoy random videos sawing random logs. Our dairy barn is rock elm truss with mostly tamarack rafters. Is tamarack a hard wood to saw?? I ask because I have a heck of a time trying to pound nails into tamarack.
thanks Anthony , we never sawed tamarack but any dry hardwood gets very hard.

@@TheWildWestMill but they do make outstanding fence posts just as good as cedar.
Yes takes forever to rot much like cedar
Good video Bus Motor Productions
thanks James.
Wish we could see the laser!
🤝👍

@@markgalicic7788 thnx for the clarification, Sir -- best wishes to the talented crew
Lousy looking log - but nice clean pieces in the interior.
I didn't think it would be good but wow!
Kind of a messy critter.
Fence post would be a waste of premium wood boat building material
good for many things .
I'm hard of hearing, why no closed captions? Thanks
Is there a spur or nick on the dog that holds onto the board?
yes a sharp point on the top and bottom.
dog it down old logging term
yes it is.

yes it gets very hard after it dries out.
