If I join your patreon, do u go over prices of logs and how you make money off of it
Did you say in the video Patreon is $1 a month? The only option I saw was $5 a month.
The roots make great tea
Absolutely one of the finest creators on UA-cam. So thankful we have Nathan Elliott
@@Erikleaholsen I noticed the same. It's to bad that he doesn't have different support levels for people like me that admire his craft, his work ethic, his ingenuity and his personality, but is not a logger and doesn't need the nitty gritty of his logging business. i just like watching his videos for no particular reason and i would support him for a couple of dollars a month.
My grandmother used to make sassafras tea with the roots. I once helped my dad haul a huge black walnut log from his farm to a temporary Amish sawmill some miles away over skinny twisty dirt roads. We brought back beautiful lumber which he used for woodworking projects. I have an ink pen he made for me. :-)
We have been trying to get our youngest son to get a job at Wood-Mizer, the oldest son worked there and it was a great place, I'm glad to see an expert using a saw made just down the road.
I actually grabbed an IBC root beer this afternoon while I was out just so I could watch this one. Worked like a charm :)
I love the enthusiasm in your videos, just the overall excitement of you wanting to get sawing cause you hadn’t done one in over a year.
What a beautiful log and grain on those boards! That would make some incredible furniture. Thanks for sharing!
SAM MALOOF would make 100 chairs……..
Can't wait to see you pop open that Walnut log.
Went Saturday and picked up 9 slabs that I've been waiting on for about 9 months.
Most are running true at about 14 in. to 12 in.
Doing two Grandfather clocks out of them and whatever else.
Great video and take care.
Love walnut. Can't wait to see the inside of that huge log.

There was a big one in my Mom’s yard. She didn’t like running over the nuts cutting grass. I went over there one day and it was on the ground. Some “nice young men from the fire dept.” had not only cut it down for her but had cut it into firewood lengths.
@@K31swiss 😱😭
Boiled many a pot of sassafras tea. Also as a fuel wood, it leaves little ash compared to most woods. One of the few trees with 3 different leaves. Cajuns grind them to make file' for flavoring gumbo.
I sure miss those days when something as simple as boiling tree roots, was something special. Many a fond memory of my grandmother, and the aroma of sassafras coming from the kitchen. Not to mention all the natural healing properties.
Kids nowadays will get to talk about their favorite energy drink!
@@johnthompson9625 I agree John. We grew up in a better area.
You have some of the most amazing camera angles and perspectives, Nathan. I appreciate the time and effort it takes to make it look natural.
Bill
Nice job. I know that smell. My grandma used to make sassafras tea all the time.
Hey Nathon, I'm loading a 32" x 11' beautiful walnut log on my mill tomorrow. Largest walnut I have ever sawn. Log was given to me by local tree surgeon. Can't wait to see it. He who dies with most walnut wins!
i'm surprised anyone would give away that log. here in ohio, a walnut log of that size is worth a nice chunk of money.
My father harvested his walnut from his farm and stacked the milled planks in the garage built for wood and snowblower
@@beavis4play by the way, i live in southern Ohio
@@williamrichards9971 - i live in southeast ohio!
Hi from across the pond in sunny Yorkshire UK. Its a real pleasure to watch a true craftsman at work. Loving your channel and that grain!
Look at that color - just like the stuff we grow here. Such wood.
Thanks for watching
I’ve never seen sassafras and it’s like you said so close to poplar.it’s funny how it’s so entertaining to watch a craftsman at work thanks 🙏
Thanks buddy
How is it like Poplar?
When we were kids we had a lot of Sassafras trees on our property. What we did was dig up the small trees roots and make our own Root Beer , non-carbonated. Boil the roots and filter it, refrig and you have a great drink!
Had a sideboard made in Tasmania with Black-Hearted Sassafras, the top was 22* deep and there was a black (sap) vein about 6" wide. In Tasmania the wood color is usually a grey-purple color, pretty unique and spectacular!
You've got me wanting to try to find something made from it for our house that we're finally getting built here in Sydney.
Something other than jarrah.
@@TheCpage66 We don't have a lot of choice here in Australia
@@alancampbell8760
I've bought a few custom pieces from Thor's Hammer down in the ACT, but the usual black butt and red gum...always on the lookout for different though.
I moved here from North Carolina 20 years ago now and the flooring in my man cave in the house we're building will be hickory from Tennessee. Thank goodness I ordered it before COVID!
Nathan, I grew up in east Tennessee. There was a lot of sassafras just smaller. I liked digging up roots and making tea. It is different, an acquired taste. Great in winter when the sap is down in the roots. I made a fence from 5" to 6" posts and 3" to 4" rails. It lasted several years. It was still there when we sold & moved to Alabama. Thanks for the reminder.
Good evening Nathan,
Those are beautiful boards. With that very straight grain, it would make beautiful cabinets. The color is very different than most wood. I like most of the viewers are looking forward to the that walnut log..
Wood was something I had not really thought about, until I started watching these video's. It certainly is beautiful. There used to be a Shop in East Looe in Cornwall, UK, where everything was hand crafted out of Wood. I bought myself a Chess set about 45 years ago and still have it, there was also in the Shop, a poem about wood which was quite poignant. Love your vids .
My old aunt used to make us sassafras tea when we were little. Basically homemade rootbeer.
That's the best Wood Mizer I've seen. Good kit.
Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching
Some of the best wood,durable for outside ,I side ,Smell's good ,soft easy to work with ,never saw a sassafras that big either it's very old or grown in good ground , good for lots of things, gates stock racks , will last a long time , can boil roots make sassafras tea won't be long to go dig some up , that's allmost a miracle log in Tenn now days everything is getting clear cut off by timber companies, $ $ all they can think of I love your log 1 st u ever seen
The open grain on this log makes it look very sophisticated, Beautiful wood.
Thank you very much!
I did cut some sassafras on my neighbors riverbottom bluff and sawed it up for him to make a wagon floor and the floor in a Mazda truck that he show's from time to time. And I love that smell to
Thank you for the video. The grain around those sassafras knots make it look 3d on the video.
As others have noted, root beer used to be made from Sassafras roots, thus the smell. Used to dig up sassafras roots in the woods behind our house and brew sassafras tea.
What beautiful lumber coming out of that log. Thanks for sharing.
thanks for watching
beautiful straight grain
Thank you for this Nathan. I have seen that grain before in old furniture but never knew what it was. Now I do. Just amazing beautiful grain. And smelling like Root Beer makes sense as it was used to make root beer originally. Hard to find real root beer these days. Mostly artificial flavoring in sodas and candies, but I am so old I remember when they were the real deal and was so much better.
Ps, you mentioned that you love the smell but don't really like root beer, but if you got hands on some original real root beer you just might love it as it is so different than the artificial stuff. As the Morgan's say, Have a Day.
Mark, I remember the same! Grandma used to make Sassafras tea when I was a kid. She used to go out in the woods, (in Tennessee) and cut her own roots for it. Now I learn if not done right will make ya sick!
My grandmother shared that they made root beer for the thrashers on the South Dakota farm. I was young and should have gotten more details.
Me too!!!! Lol
Mark, I too am old enough to drink the real root beer. That was tremendous. Today's root beer doesn't hold a candle to the original.
Yes we used to boil sassafras bark and make tea.. there was always a pot of it on our stove and our house always smelled so inviting. I still have one of the old aluminum pots we used to boil it in and it is forever stained a deep reddish brown.
I got excited when I saw the thumbnail!! I got really excited when I saw the maple. Then you gave the dimensions of the walnut and I was overwhelmed with excitement. I’m glad you had the backhoe on that tractor.
yes sir, thanks for watching
I grew up on a 28 acre parcel of woodland in Southern Michigan in the 60s and 70s. Lots of sassafras trees. In the summer my mom and my little brother and I would collect sassafras seedlings and she would make home made root beer from the roots. Hence the name "root" beer! Apparently there is a naturally carbonated, fermented (alcoholic) type but she just made the non-fermented.
We have a black walnut i our back yard slightly larger in Dia here in Mich, The squirrels have been packing up on nuts getting ready for the winter I've often thought about cutting into her but it won't happen till age says its time. Beautiful piece
Where could one gather the best information on procedure for profiting???
@@scottclute8413 i'm the wrong person to ask, I'm just a normy watching videos.
That’s a beautiful piece of land you’ve got there.
Best time of year to dig Sassafras roots for tea. Leaves just fell off and sap dropped. Makes for good strong Sassafras tea.
Good tip!
Sassafras is highly coveted in louisiana where I'm from. You can make true root beer and when you dry the leaves they become bay leaves and when you grid them to a powder that's gumbo filé ..
interesting
Yup, and the roots of small saplings make a very hearty nourishing tea that can sustain one through fasting very well. Just slice them up, boil in water for a while, and then strain out the solids. What is left in the liquid will fortify you like most broths. Very positive when too sick to eat food, like when you have the flu.
I have never seen a sassafras tree so big. I grew up in the Pine Barrens of N.J. & the biggest ones around were no bigger than 6". the oldtimers would make tea out of the leaves.
Same. Growing up in PA, the sassafras is common, but never have I seen any more than a few inches thick. The smell is amazing though.
There is a few along side the road near me that must be 30” through. Biggest I have ever seen. They are on a curve and have been smacked by cars. Michigan Winters.
I have some near my Bee Hive that may be 14 or so?
Galicic just had a beautiful black walnut other day. I believe he even mentioned you would like it. Can't wait to see the one you have.
That sasafrass is amazing. I could smell you cutting it. Really.
Being a west coast man we dont have the privilige of enjoying that smell out here. Not often.
My only current connection is a small baby food jar with a few Sass root pieces that I scavanged at a relatives farm back when I was in later grade school in 1975.
Ive held on to it as one lf my precious tresaures over all these years. Gets opened for a guick sniff every few years.
Its truely amazing how we can associate certain smells with certain memories. The sass brings me back to carefree days of childhood roaming the woods of Michigan and seeing the smiles of my long decreased Aunt Dorthy and Uncle Dons while visitbg in the south western part of the state during the few months while being there as my father completed some graduate work.
Great video BTW. Love California . we got some great things here . Not so much the plethora of hardwoods you lucky dogs out east have.. Makes a wood minded guy jealous at times.
Keep up the good work . some day you get near the Sacramento or bay area stop buy and come sniff some Claro or Bastogne.
Not sasafrass but a few smells to die for non the less.
I wanna see you vacuum the dust when you're done, super satisfying
Hello Friend, that Sassafras is beautiful timber, wish I could smell it too!!
You and me both!
Great idea. Pick up the log to waist level before painting the end. Working smarter, not harder. Back when I grew up, a man at the county fair used to sell sassafras root tea. It was great, really just root beer, but then the FDA banned the use of sassafras root. It was a miniscule risk, but they did not care.
In the late ‘90’s I made a table lamp from Sassafras wood and loved working with it and the smell. I believe root beer was derived from the Sassafras root drink alluded to in old western movies.
I love the way sassafras smells I used to dig it when I was a child with my mother and Make tea out of it. That would grain looks beautiful.
what an absolutely beautify piece of wood.
Thanks for watching
Well, I know nothing about Sassafras timber but what you have cut in this video Nathan looks an ABSOLUTE TREAT. Over recent times I am getting to know some of the different timbers you have in America in general & many of them look great. We do have a few very good timber here in Australia too but number that you have over there. Cheers, Don from South Aust.
Beautiful wood. The large ends of your first cuts would mak some awesome bowl blanks for turning
After Hurricane Rita me and my brother had to remove a massive sassafras from our parents property, the smell as we cleaned up was amazing.
Man that is some beautiful lumber.
Thanks for watching
Nathan you are a man after my own heart I see so many people doing stuff like you’re doing right now down on the ground instead of taking the grapple and picking it up and doing it where they don’t have to put a strain on their back
Thanks!
Thanks buddy
If you get the roots of a sassafras tree and peal the bark and boil the bark it it makes a really good tea.
Your lawman days still shows in how you stand. Noticed it when you were standing with your hand on the tape measure. Old habits stay with us. Like the channel.
Indeed
Here in Massachusetts I've never seen a sassafras tree large enough tp be used for lumber. Thanks for sharing this.
thanks for watching
roots makes great tea
Magnificient, We Cut one on the Farm that was Creating a problem and Dying, That would make that look like a Toothpick. Oh, about 50 years ago or so. What A Lovely Log You Have! Gary from Ga.
Nathan, quick story about my manual mill. As you probably remember, I have the Woodland Mills HM130. It came with 144" x 1.25 blades. Well I saw another fellow on here that suggested trying 1 1/2" wide blades. My goodness what a difference in cut quality. I think it's a Turbo 7 probably .55 thickness. I was cutting some 23" wide solid Red Pine for a lady that was making a custom counter top. Slabs came out perfect!
Nice
I was able to find some really nice sassafras that I used as a liner for a shoulder visa and a tail vice on my work bench. It really works easily and makes you want some sassafras tea !
Good stuff !
Mm mm! Root beer. That's some nice looking timber. Best regards.
My grandparents use make their own root beer using the root bark of the Sassafras tree. I believe most commercial root beer was produce this way until the 60's when the FDA found that safrole, a key component of sassafras, was a carcinogen.
Great job on the milling and gathering more saw logs. Really looking good around there. Fred. 🙏🏻🙏🏻✋🏻✋🏻👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks 👍
Sure with UA-cam could offer virtual smell, proud to be a longtime Patreon member and slab customer.
thanks for watching appreciate you buddy
Honestly I didn’t know that sassafras grew to be that big! Love the smell and the root makes a wonderful drink!
Thank you
Thanks for watching
this wood was sometimes used with chestnut as the grain patterns are similar.
sassafras bark is the flavor of Root Beer the drink could be why it smells as such
A tip: Fender (guitars) made a batch of Stratocasters in the fifties with body from sassafras. It might have gone by quietly if it havent been for Eric Johnson, the texan guitar genious, that got his hands on a sassafras Stratocaster from the fifties. With this guitar he made a very special sound, and that (and his great playing skills) has made him a fan-base all over the world. 20" x 15" x 1.84" two piece bookmatched kilndryed slab is what`ll be needed. You don`t even have to glue it up. Since sassafras is hard to come by, you might be doing som good business.
I have been wanting some sassafrass for guitar building. its hard to get on the west coast though. if nate cuts guitar blanks Il buy a couple.
Nice, considerate (to the trailer) bobcat operation on the loading at the beginning of video.
My grandmother told me stories about taking sassafras root and making a root beer flavored tea. She also used to chew sassafras leaves instead of gum. Of course, she had me try chewing the leaves. I can take it or leave it. She found great pleasure in chewing sassafras leaves.
Awesome! Trees are so neat, the beautiful lines and growth of the inside and out. I use to work at a Veneer factory, catching the fragile sections of the different woods. There was Cherry, Teak, Pine, Walnut, so many. Teak was the most fragile to collect. Thanks for sharing
My grandma made sassafras tea from the roots. My grandfather and I used it for fence posts.
I was just thinking how nice those suspenders looked and then you talked about them. Haha! Crazy! I should look into my leather stash and see what I got laying around.
That's some good looking wood.
That sassafras is, wow!
That laser shot was amazing! I could see how that would be helpful! Well done Nathan!
thanks
Heck of a set up ya have there bud. True one man operation. Only thing missing is that button. You know, the one ya push that says "I'll take that board off the top for you Sir" and stacks it!
Nathan, great job, love what you’re doing. A suggestion: buy your end sealer in 5 gallon buckets and get yourself a bigger paintbrush!
I was thinking the same thing. Iirc he said Anchor Seal was hard to come by these days.
Thank you for your videos - they are exceptional! I appreciate how careful and safety conscious you are: this makes for a great example for others who are watching and may be considering getting 'into' the business as you are. Take care Sir: thanks for posting these videos.
Years ago the medicine doctors used sassafras trees to make medicines. The leaves are also used to make gumbo filé. It’s an herb used in gumbo by creole and Cajuns.
Ohh wow. I would have never guessed that a log would show up to your sawmill.... 😂
The next time you get a log like this, you can cut a couple of inches off the end and sell it for sassafras tea.. you can put a few little pieces together and sell them for a couple of dollars.
Awesome sawing
Beautiful Walnut Log
I stumbled on this video and recognized your accent so i click for more information..turns out you are from my hometown !! Kingsport! Used to live off Center St and Bloomingdale.. Miss that Eastman air .. i live in Canada now
good deal, still stinks here in case you are wondering,
@@OutoftheWoods0623 great videos btw..my kin still live there so I still get some of that southern love. Canadians never had biscuits and gravy..I make it every weekend lol. They love it
Your vid "randomly" showed up in my suggestion list and while watching the intro (even while sped up) I instantly recognized that landscape. Sure enough, after careful inspection I realized you're located in East Tennessee! Interstate 81, Rock Springs Road, Dobyns Bennett HS, Bays Mtn... Wow. My old stomping grounds - I grew up in Colonial Heights, just off Kendrick Creek road and attended Sullivan South High. Absolutely beautiful country, makes my heart ache with all the memories. Thanks for the upload!
Algo had me hit this today. S & N. Thanks for the info, I had no idea where this was other than 'somewhere in the South.' Beautiful area, and wow, those cuts looked damn purdy.
Just beautiful!!
4 mantles finished up with hardware out of that black oak are $5000 USD each, then you have the cut off can be used to make guitars so forth, stringed instruments maybe a $25k log there if cut right...
Wow! Just Wow!
9.2👍's up thanks for sharing this video with us all it's peaceful watching you work
Sassafras is a delight to work with and it reminds me of American Chestnut, which I worked with quite often over the years. I have quite a few Sassafras trees on my 8 acres and a few fairly large ones. I have a 1914 book about Pennsylvania trees and it shows some of these trees that are large, like 3 feet in diameter. Can’t wait to see that big old walnut Nathan! Kind Thanks and Blessings to All at the Mill Ranch! DaveyJO in Pennsylvania
When I finished building my mill last year the first log I put through it was a monster Sassafras. I could smell it when you were cutting that.
Another fantastic video. I never realized just how close you were. Recognized the mortgage in the beginning.
Glad you’re liking that laser! Centering the pith is absolutely one of the best things about it! Next to that is whether it’ll hit your back stops! Never sawn sassafras affor. Would love to find some up our way but figurin’ I won’t find the opportunity up north. Keep it up Nathan. Don’t forget to be awesome today 😎
Love that laser - sure must help and give you added accuracy !!
Thanks for sharing, my friend !!
My husband made himself a pair of suspenders similar to yours several years back. He’s had people ask him to make them, but it was a one-time project! They should last the rest of his life….of course, we’re a little older than you 😂.
WOW!! What a pretty grain and color - would look beautiful on someone's walls.
Man that was Luverly wood patterns that for sure will make some thing really nice thanks Great Vlog
Another great day at the mill, RB, Nova Scotia.
I bet it smelled great sawing that sassafras! That's definitely a rare find in that size. If you happen to have a "black light" or a UV light shine it on this stuff - you'll be amazed!
Thank you and that is a mighty fine looking tree. The grain in some places looks near like hickory to me. Take care and God bless
Never worked with that wood but sounds like fun
