This time, I was inspired to look up what projects have been made with box elder...WOW! Some of them look pricey!---About the time I was wondering about the new music, up popped the graphic! Thanx!
Yea, i took down a few box elders here at the house over the last few years and it seemed like the smaller ones seemed to have more red in them than the larger ones.. Beautiful wood ..
That looks really nice Nathan. This morning I had to call in the big box store to get some lumber but for some reason the prices have gone through the roof!! I just don’t know how they justify the huge hike in prices. I wish I had the room to put a mill!! The cost of the lumber made it three times the price of just buying the item I was going to make. Nice video thank you Nathan. Graham🇬🇧🇬🇧
Out of the Woods well Nathan, I had to go back this morning to the big box store. I was talking to the guy in the woodyard and we were discussing the price of the lumber. I was telling him what I need and he said come with me. The store was taking down all the display kitchens, he gave me first pickings and I asked how much...FREE, TAKE AS MUCH AS YOU WANT,!!! My Christmas just came early. Take care, Graham🇬🇧🇬🇧🌲🌲
Where are you from? I just milled a 24" dia x 36" Box elder log with some awesome figure, it's got blue stain, redflame & lots of cats paw in it, it was the gnarliest log I've ever milled
I can't help but wonder what causes the blade to chatter and thus give that ripple effect. In this video at 3:30 or so, you can see that the right side support for the blade spool is vibrating. Is the channel iron not strong enough and could it be reinforced? Is this the cause or is this chattering of the blade frame from the chattering of the blade....hmmmm. Love the vids, calming and fun to see what is inside. Yes, it's like Christmas everyday you cut into a log. Keep it up Nathan!
Greetings from Vancouver Island, British Columbia Long time viewer. Some wonderful slabs coming out of your mill. Wondering if you could show us video of you operating the mill ? Split screen, watching you operate the controls on one side, while seeing what part that moves on the other. I know a lot of the sawing is automatic, but those loading arms, bark cutter, and blade guide arm, don't move themselves. Enjoy the channel, keeping wowing us with that beautiful timber
What if you re-saw? I have a few chunks I cut a while ago that are about ready to bring indoors to finish drying. I hope they are ad blood read as the day I first cut them.
I have sold hardwood lumber for 30 years in New York, but I've never seen box elder...that I know of. Does the red color stay red even after drying? Thanks. Enjoy your videos!
Also after they ruin quite a few blades with those sharp pointy teeth with not much behind them they will switch back to normal blades. How many sharpening can you get out of those pointy teeth blades, seems like the tooth will go down fast. Just more hype as they're new
Is there something wrong with your log lifter on the mill, Nathan? I noticed y'all rolling the logs off of the forks onto the mill by hand. More beautimus elder!
Im an operator of many types of heavy equipment loaders, and there is no way you will not prevent damage to the mill if you can’t see what you are doing, why don’t you put a swing up door so you can see?
When I was in Thailand there is a tree that really looks like it bleeds, Burmese Padauk (pterocarpus macrocarpus). There is a red sap that comes out of the tree when its cut, really looks like blood and stains the wood (and clothes). dokmaidogma.files.wordpress.com/2016/08/sap-72.jpg?w=584 is an example.
Not sure what you would use box elder for. Around here it is not even used for firewood as it stinks when it is burned. Stinks even when it is cut. Most gets cut as a weed tree and is left to rot. Don't think you could give it away even as slabs. It is soft and spongy so no good for cabinet work. Sure does suck up water in wet areas though.
I like what you are showing but it is a little too short I know you are Busy but about the time I get in to what you are doing it is all over and then I’m lost you use to put out a little longer video
Starting to get annoyed by jump cuts,. Why make a 6min video where you don't speak about the initial cut down to fit the mill or the 180* flip? I know this is minor to anyone who "Knows" but it does make the story more interesting.

thanks Alana,
Remarkable wood. Lovely to look at. It is art in of itself!
Thanks for the music note in the video! As always, great images and great music to go with.
thanks for watching Mike,
Looks like Flame Box Elder. Beautiful when finished in clear or white (clear) shellac.
one of the things I love about wood, you never know just what your gonna find inside. thanks for another great video Nathan.
thanks Wesley,
I can't wait for the post and beam episodes.I just love that kind of construction.
tomorrow,
Nice looking wood Nathan. Thanks for sharing.
thanks Darron,

I've just started to Turn wood with a lathe, and love Box Elder wood.
Such cool looking wood. It would be neat if one day, we could see something built out of some of these amazing slabs by one of your buyers.
thanks, that is in the works,
I'm building a desktop out of some quarter sawn white oak from Nathan right now!
You got some neat lumber out of that log, thanks for showing us.
thanks for watching Troy,
Some beautiful wood and makes great turkey calls from it
Those flames! Wow!!!
WOW!!
That wood!!!!
Good looking slabs!

Housing starts have taken a big jump so lumber prices take a big jump. Happens every time.
thanks Graham, things are high here also, even for pine,

Another great video, can't wait for the next one, you've definitely piqued my interest
I would love to get hold of some well-figured pieces of this for a guitar

will do,
That was beautiful. What causes the " bleed " on the slabs ?
I want to find a nice box elder piece with red stain to build a guitar but it's hard to find
I really like those red flames a lot. Great video. I couldn’t tell, how did the curly work out?
Oooo-Weeee! Pretty!
Does the flame fade after the board sits for a while? That would be a shame if it did.
If you keep it out of the sun it will stay 👍
What if you re-saw? I have a few chunks I cut a while ago that are about ready to bring indoors to finish drying. I hope they are ad blood read as the day I first cut them.
What do you do with the sawdust?
cool !!!!!
I have sold hardwood lumber for 30 years in New York, but I've never seen box elder...that I know of. Does the red color stay red even after drying? Thanks. Enjoy your videos!
Why is the saw bouncing causing the rippling saw cut? Feeding too fast for the blade?
camera lens is bouncing not the saw,
So why is the saw kerf wavy?@@OutoftheWoods0623
Nice 😊😊😊😊👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Amazing how the sapwood is so fire red, can you tell us what causes that?
actually not sure,
Out of the Woods
I found this site with some info, good reading.

Why are you getting saw marks when you are using premium blades?
That's called chatter from a aggressive blade that penates the wood to easy pulling itself into the log.
Also after they ruin quite a few blades with those sharp pointy teeth with not much behind them they will switch back to normal blades. How many sharpening can you get out of those pointy teeth blades, seems like the tooth will go down fast. Just more hype as they're new
Interesting
Is there something wrong with your log lifter on the mill, Nathan? I noticed y'all rolling the logs off of the forks onto the mill by hand. More beautimus elder!
short logs fall off it,
Out of the Woods - Got’cha, not as observant as I thought I was!
Im an operator of many types of heavy equipment loaders, and there is no way you will not prevent damage to the mill if you can’t see what you are doing, why don’t you put a swing up door so you can see?
that is in the works, trust me,

Amazing slabs from the log, thanks for sharing.
thanks you sir, appreciate you watching,

Have you or do you saw much Locust? I'm just curious because I think it's a very pretty wood but it seems like it'd be hard to saw.
not very often, most here is rotted

I dont notice it stink when burning in a woodstove. As long as it is dry, it burns fine. It does stink when you cut it though!
odd brings a good price here after I kiln dry it, very sought after,
I like what you are showing but it is a little too short I know you are Busy but about the time I get in to what you are doing it is all over and then I’m lost you use to put out a little longer video
sorry running a business here also, doing best I can,
I understand that you are running a business to that is what I was getting at when I said you were busy and thanks for getting back so Soon
Smells like stinky fish!
