I've watched many of your vids on the boob tube RU-vid. You know your stuff, the wood AND the milling. You moved yourself to the 'top shelf' when you brought your daughter on when you ate that elm burl. Can't get mine to care about my milling on the lt-40. Hard to believe I named my son Tom Sawyer!! Cheers to you and your passion!

Awesome. I love sycamore in general, I bought a mixed bundle of 5/4 x 8" and most of it was sycamore. I covered my one main wall in my wood shop with it, part of it was spotted so it was really beautiful stuff I think sycamore is just awesome. I wished when I was out west I've been close enough to stop by you guys but my wife didn't want to go there so. Love watching you mill wood and see the interesting aspects of it. 👍👍
Bob, thank you so much! We actually made a video on how we got started. Take a look here! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0f-J3_CkG3Q.html
The loader is indeed a monster! Fun to watch how effortlessly it grabs huge logs. The Sycamore is very beautiful. You can check out the boards we have for sale here: www.cookwoods.com/collections/sycamore
Anytime you want to give us the back story on these logs, I for one would be interested to know where they came from and how you obtained them. Great channel!
In the old days as a chaser on a landing we would take breaks under the linkbelt... while it was being operated. It was the safest place to be within his swing radius. Once in a while the operator would grab a pole with the grapples and prod us out form under there. Huffman & Wright Logging, Canyonville, Oregon.
Doug, thank you so much for taking the time to comment. The Sycamore is SO beautiful! Here's a link where you can access the page on our website where it's located: www.cookwoods.com/collections/sycamore Let us know what you make from it!
Michael, thank you so much for this suggestion. We love hearing people's ideas and what they'd like to see. We'll definitely incorporate this into a future video.
Carl, we actually made a mistake with this. English Sycamore is in the Maple family but American Sycamore is not. To be a walking encyclopedia is a challenge! :)
Very beautiful grain Chris, with the colors popping like that in the rough sawn state try to imagen what it's going to look like properly finished. Thanks for sharing loved it
You said Maple and Sycamore trees have a hard time drying "without cracks and stuff." I could see the cracks forming but don't know what the "stuff" is. Can you give us just a brief explanation of what "stuff" is in relation to the drying process?
Victoria, you're absolutely right. Our wood specialist had a moment where he was thinking of European Sycamore! We are so sorry for this error. Thank you for your care in pointing this out. We appreciate it so much.
