ANOTHER LOG WITH GOLD HIDDEN UNDER ITS BARK, 

GORGEOUS. MY HEART SKIPPED A BEAT WHEN YOU POURED THE WATER ON IT TO EXPOSE THE GRAIN. LIKE A TREASURE HUNT. I'D LOVE TO BE ABLE TO SMELL THAT BEAUTIFUL WOOD.

The first time I got lathe time in my high school wood shop, it was with walnut. I've been in love with walnut ever since. I love the grain, the smell, etc. Bald cypress is a close second for me.

A great video. This came up on my recommended. Glad I watched it. I just sold my 47 wood acres. I had a lot of good hardwoods, and a derecho wind came through in 2011 and knocked down and broke off some premium walnuts, cherry & other great trees (130 mph winds for 1/2 an hour). I did hire a forestry consultant who walked the mess for 3 weeks, marking tree & itemizing everything for a bidding process. Went through the bid and it was logged out the next summer. The sawmill hired a Mennonite man to log, who was super to work with. Took 3 months to cut down/salvage 1,037 trees. It is a pleasure to see what the end product can be and is satisfying that I turned my lemons into lemonade. I ended up with 3 miles of trails, and lots of new trees growing. I took the state forester's advice and placed cardboard boxes with walnuts on the stumps throughout the timber to allow the squirrels to plant them for me. The tops on the ground helped protect the seedlings from the deer browsing. Sadly, I sold the property with its beautiful log home, but I am aging and a single woman taking care of all that was getting too much. A nice young family can now enjoy and make this their forever home. Thanks for the great video, and sharing the beauty of the bounty that trees provide.

The wooding community is so kind i love your comment section!!

Watching jets take off and land, watching metal being poured, watching huge machines at work, it never gets old. Thanks for posting this.

I'm a "city folk", been all my life (62 now) but there is something, magical, hypnotic in watching this video, truth is I can't relate to any of it, yet....I find it....mesmerizing....

RU-vid must know I've watched this kind of stuff before. This is the best I've seen. Professional camera work, editing, and musical background. Very entertaining. Beautiful wood, too!

In Wyoming we have cottonwood, pine and aspen. Walnut is an expensive import, and walnut trees are abundant as unicorns. Watching you expose this indescribably beautiful creation is a truly spiritual experience. My friends look at me real funny when I tell them how much I enjoy watching videos of some stranger 1,500 miles away cot logs on a sawmill. But you expose glory. That never gets old, either.

I had no idea I would find this as satisfying as I did. Thanks RU-vid. You learn something every day. That black walnut is simply beautiful. And it's not often I can say that about another fellows wood.

That's a piece of wood you could build an entire Bar around !! Absolutely beautiful !!

Sweet. My electric bass has a stunning walnut top. Beautiful wood.

Amazing to see such a huge piece of valuable and rare Black Walnut. I've just recently moved onto a 12 acre homestead where 10 acres of it are forest. I've already planted 10 Black Walnut seedlings. (Next year I will plant even more). I will not live long enough to see them come to full maturity but somebody down the road will come to realize what a gift that is.

The beauty of nature ceases to amaze me! Such videos as these keeps my patience!

Very nice video. Beautiful log. I love watching the Woodmizer work. I have worked at Woodmizer for 4 years now and love seeing the labor of our love work so well. You did a very good job operating the 35 by yourself.

Well, milling a log to expose the beauty of it's grain seems very satisfying. I enjoyed the video.

Even when I was in college in 1983, the price of wood to make our projects with was already starting to get expensive. The quality and sheer size of each piece of your black walnut is just that today, gold. This has beautiful grain.

I just love it when you BAPTIZE the boards! When you said your buddy wasn’t there today I thought you meant your neighbor who could mow that grass for you. Lol 😆

Thank you for sharing this beautiful piece of God's creation. May you be blessed beyond measure ✝

Nothing beats the feeling of a good slab of wood in the morning.

Its so good to watch somebody who is obviously passionate about the wonder of wood. It looked amazing when you revealed its true colour with the water and being the first time its ever been seen, thankyou.

Thanks Buddy, Awesome video. Makes me want to start my life all over again with a new hobby

Beautiful wood it took more than a lifetime for it to be created priceless

"Live edge" tables are all the rage these days, and that one log could yield several beautiful pieces of furniture.

The slow-motion water splashing sent shivers up my spine.

This is SO beautiful to watch! How many guys out there want a big, powerful, band saw like this one, to "slice" out, BIG, WIDE, BEAUTIFUL, THICK, GORGEOUS BOARDS like these?? Aw. COME ON, You know you WANT ONE!!

Hahaha...I thought there would be real gold....stupid me!!🤣🤣 That 'gold' BEAUTIFUL walnut fresh cut...WOW!! This was seriously entertaining to watch! As a kid I went into forest with dad, granddad & siblings to help load fresh cut wood for stove burning. My granddad would have LOVED this video!! Well done!!!👍😁

No clue how the hell I got here, but this is awesome!

Walnut is by far my favorite wood, I like the way it carves, the way it smells, and the way it looks with a nice natural finish. I can just imagine when you open up one of those what that is like. I need to get some stock to cut some spoon blanks from you. Thanks for sharing.

That is just a thing of BEAUTY. Food for the eyes, heart & soul :)

Beautiful wood. Reminds me of the cabinet work my grandpa and dad did. They had a lot and grew their own black, English walnut trees to make furniture. My dad was one of the best woodworkers that I have known. Miss both of my pop and grandad.

A gorgeous piece of nature. Thanks for showing it to us all who couldn't afford to own it! Loved the water show! The gold jumped out at me! Music was also good! Thanks!

Your right there is nothing better for a job! Fun relaxing and the wood is so amazing and different every time! Good video bud!👍

Plant more when you cut them down. Plant more if they fall naturally. Give back more than what you take. I love wood.

Gold mine, you aren't kidding! Love the knots if well formed, lead in-out, adds character. Premium board fersher.

Absolutely stunning beauty of that Walnut naturally colored is so gorgeous!

I live in Sutton Coldfield... England, I think we all feel the draw back to a simpler life. Imagine before the machines were available it would off been a lot harder with handsaws . Loved the video..

I used to be a tower crane operator in the UK and I did a few builds where we were using oak as frames for balconies and we used to get the wood from France sometimes when we were cutting it like this u would open it up and find musket balls embedded in it where during the various wars the uk and France had had they had shot at each other but hit the trees u could tell they were old as they were Brown Bess size musket balls and the tree had just grown around it

Just finishing up my first live edge piece, using soft maple. It's going to look great as a floating shelf, but man, this walnut is stunning. Thanks for sharing.

That is one beautiful piece of heartwood! I am drooling!

What beautiful wood! I turned the most fabulous bowl from walnut, it is one of my most treasured possessions!

I like Black Walnut. It makes a real nice self bow. A self bow is an archery bow, made from one piece of wood. The sapwood has a nice elastic quality for bending the limbs, and the heartwood for the handle area has good compression quality. You have a primo log there. Nice video.

haha I totally thought you meant there was GOLD under the bark. I was like, "whaaaa?" But now I see what you meant. Great job drawing in additional views with that lol. I really want to add that you really give a new view of wood cutting and appreciation through this video. Really well done :)

Beautiful! Just stumbled up on this and learned something new today! It looks very rewarding. Two thumbs up.

Beautiful piece of wood. Nature gives us such pleasures.

Wow, thank you for this video! Viewing this gorgeous walnut brings back memories. My Great Grandfather was a Jouneyman Cabinet Maker who immigrated from Great Britain in the 1920's when my Grandmother was in her early 20's. She soon married & had my father, an only child. My Dad was babysat by Great Grandpa Hopper & he had my Dad work right alongside him. Mixing horse hoof glue, pedaling (no electricity) a wood lathe & making beautiful tables & jewelry boxes with mine being one he made at 81 yrs old. He collected the neighbor's trees when they chopped them down so seeing the grain got me so stoked! Like you said, it never gets old. What a rare piece of wood because there aren't many black walnut trees that live that long, straight & beautiful. They're mostly grafted here & back several generations with English Walnut for farm production. Thank you for sharing. What beautiful items may this tree make?

I want a table just like that. Just a log with the top cut. It looks beautiful

Gotta love walnut. I have a monster of a black walnut in my backyard. It has to be at least 4 feet diameter and 60 feet tall. Much respect for such a beautifull old tree but I can't wait for the day she comes down $$$$

If you would bury those walnut logs for about 6 months in a damp spot the bark will bleed stain into the white wood and the heart will get much darker. I had a LT 40 and loved sawing gun blanks out of walnut and curly maple.

This is the stuff that built America....good, honest, in field billet....the kind of work that offers spectacular results. Screw technology...now where the hell did I put my axe!!!

I worked in industrial sawmills in los angeles in my youth and i just gotta say this looks like pure un adulturated FUN. i really admire your lifestyle living out there in Gods Country. I have plans to get out there just like you. God Bless.

cannot beat walnut!

Beautiful! That would make a NICE solid body electric guitar body like a Fender Telecaster or Stratocaster!

I HONESTLY THOUGHT THERE WAS GOING TO BE GOLD IN THE TREE IVE JUST SLAPPED MYSELF GREAT COLOUR THOUGH

Nathan it's always very pleasurable watching your youtube channel your reactions and comments allow me to see how much passion you have for what you do i can see you love it a lot i bet it provides a good source of income too?

your a man from my own heart,keep up this god giving work,nature at its best..

amazing video, awesome beauty, nice music too ! Wow!

Good Video!!,/ there are some entertaining comments posted below.... :) I've got 100 or more big walnut trees on my property../ just thinking about when to harvest them. Walnut is a very special wood!!

Love that color. Just wonderful color & smell..... lol... Don't care for walnut stain though. But this is pretty.

I love wood. So many surprises hidden under the bark.

to think that absolutely no one had seen the inside of that before this video is amazing. every tree is different but thats what makes them beautiful. what i wouldn't give to have your life...

What a beauti! I think this wood is well underpriced. Once they are gone , they are gone.

Nathan.... if you will take a fresh cut off the end of the log (just a few inches with the chainsaw) before you saw it, your blades will last twice as long. I usually cut them while they are in the lifting cradle. That first few inches into a dry log really stresses the blade at the gullet....and we all know blades will make you or break you!! HAPPY SAWING

Definitely wood porn, anyone see the giant knob in the grain at 12:03??

In looking back, you had to weed eat to get to your sawmill and now you have all of these fantastic buildings. Life is good!!

Thank you for allowing me to see things I could not otherwise see :) The outside world is cut off from me, except through people like you. I like to see machines at work, making work possible . Thank you ....now get back to work LOL

I love the part where he sawed the log😀

For those who are wondering where the gold is, trying looking up the word metaphor.

@ 12:03 The music and the water made me think of the girls at the car wash throwing water on each other! LOL It's because you were throwing water on a some beauties! Nice slabs!

wow, when you wet it down you can really see how gorgeous that wood grain is !

Wow. Think of the furniture, tables, etc that wood will make. Mmm, mmm good. Music goes with the water. Really good mix. Who did the music? It works

great video,

YOU ARE DA MAN! That is some beautiful wood. I looked up the saw unit you are using and do I understand correctly that the tank on the top left (as you face it) is for water - to keep the blade cool? I was curious about that. Thanks for sharing such an awesome video!

The Grain On That Is Something To Behold - Thanks For Sharing

Just when I think I've come to terms with losing a hand, I see a video like this and go down memory lane. Please understand I mean good memories.

Geez! Just about time to mow the sawmill! We could use some of your rain. We've had one day of measurable rain in the lsat 50 days here in Oregon. That's some sweet lumber!

Is it wrong that wood gives me wood?!? ...LOL... :)

Enjoyed that

Excellent video, beautiful timber I can visualize it made into a dining table all polished up and shiny. Wonderful.

Not sure why this popped up as recommended but, I loved it! The music was a nice touch as well. Keep it up!

Wtf I watched all of this thinking real gold would be found lmao

nice wood ... but I thought I was going to see some frontiersman actually hid some gold away ....

Would like that for the new floor in my man cave...or paneling...or both!

The add was so good I don't want to wreck the feeling by watching the vid. Goodnight

I saw an old, rotten log and you ended up showing me such beauty. Thank you!

I am like Tony Zacarias, big southern city all my life. However, I was fortunate enough to have been in Finish Carpentry/woodworking for 30 yrs, professionally. But 6th grade educated adults coming over here illegally always complained about me to the bosses. I am in IT now and those guys empty my trash up at work. I have always been in awe, seeing different kinds of wood, etc. etc. I look at this grain you poured water over, and first thing comes to mind is, God the Creator.

Hey the log You sawed. How long ago did you cut it down? Enjoy watching you open up the trees! Never gets old.

Beautiful wood BW is. Curious what kind of drone took the video at the end ? I'm a wood turner and also a drone operator so your video was a double win for me :-)

Man, is that pretty wood grain! Just gorgeous.

Ive always believed the knots in the wood make it look better for tables and shelving. The beautiful imperfections of the wood.

that's beautiful.

Wish I had that saw when I took down my neighbors black walnut. Wound up with a 36' log 36"/28" wide. That would have been worth some coin if I could have made slabs.

At 12:08 they call that pecker wood.

The video made me feel peaceful and calm. Enjoy the little things....

I never expected how satisfying watching that would be. The water payoff at the end was just awesome. I'll bet you got a pretty penny for that gorgeous wood.

Click bait! No actual gold found!

How on earth did I end up here? o.0

Sooo....wheres the gold??

Beautiful wood grains right there. Loved the video.

I think I'm in the strange part of the internet, but WOW, gorgeous wood, & beautiful work!

click bate ? i said no way this could be true , learned something today ? YES
