Hey Marty!!! Thanks for the compliment! Don't pump me up too much, though. I still feel like a rank beginner with this stuff. I know a lot of more seasoned sawyers would probably have deemed that log a waste of time, but it is still great practice!
Thanks, Brian!!! It is so important for us to slow down and notice all going on around us in nature. I know you appreciate that. Watching you chop those logs without machinery running must be very satisfying!
Good evening John. At first , I was thinking , just cut that up for firewood. But as I watched, you turned that into some really nice lumber. So nice that it is a win win for you and your neighbor with the scrap wood. Even way up here in Nova Scotia, on the ocean, we are having uncomfortable nights , hot and humid. Have a great week, Ben 👋😎👍🍻
hey John, We too did not have AC as a kid, and no pool. I remember waking up listening to the tug boats in the distance and hoping for a breeze to blow through the window
Good evening John. I like that you experiment and try to get as much as possible out of a log. You learn a lot that way. It's great to have a source like your neighbor to take the off-cuts, as you said, it helps you helping them, win, win. Take care!
Thanks, Paul! Now that I am building up my supply of timbers for the timber frame project, I need to start honing my skills (and tools). Is your son still teaching timber framing?
Wow! That is one big branch. Great job on the video and the 'rescue wood'. So awesome to watch you turn what would be other people's debris or firewood into lumber for a valuable structure.
Howard! Thanks so much for the comment! I would like to flatter myself for having foresight, but I there might be a bit of "Yankee thrift" woven in there!!!
Great video John. I quite enjoyed that. Banana log is what some people call those logs. And, be careful what you wish for. That frost means you know what. 🤭🤭🤭 Have a great day John. 👋👋👍🏻👍🏻
Your getting pretty good with that sawmill 👍👍
It is mesmerizing to watch a log turn into a usable piece of lumber. ♥️👍

Good evening John!
Full watch John!
I like your idea of rotating it.
That was the first thing that crossed my mind
I heard the crows again Mr. John...beautiful beam you have sawn there, I enjoy the smell morning and night also...good day sir...

Good use of all of your resources John!
Thanks, Gary! I have a lot of "Yankee" in me.....never throw anything away!

Thanks, Ben! I keep telling myself that fall is just around the corner. Will be heading up to Maine in a month to cool off!

Ah, the memories!

Thanks, Noel! Banana log.....that's a good one! Let's see if it returns to the banana state as it dries!!!
👍🏻👍🏻👋👋
I wish my Dad was still around to see this!
He would have loved it!
We lost him back in Feb of ‘19.
He would have been 95 the following May.
Looking at the grain after you’ve made a cut.
Just makes one lick their lips!!!!
