Welcome back. We are all happy to have you showing and teaching. Our pleasure to help your neighbors, too -- fire was such a bummer for them (and so many others).
That's really beautiful lumber from that log. It's good to see you back. It looks like you'll be busy for quite a while. The most important thing is still that you are safe after everything that happened. . Bill
WOWZERS! There's some beautiful lumber in that tree! It will make a fantabulous table when the time arises. Glad to see you've been able to get back to making videos. Our thoughts continue to be with your neighbors while recovering from the disaster!
Beautiful wood. Can tell you haven't completely recovered from the fire. Who would. I'm glad you are sawing again. Hopefully, it will therapeutic for you. God bless. Saying prayers for you/family, neighbors, and everyone affected by fires.
Glad to see you back. That black oak produced some beautiful timber. Nothing like it in the UK 🇬🇧. Keep well and I am looking forward to seeing your next video.
Glad to see you back and OK. Beautiful black oak, and plenty heavy too! I'm guessing your going to have a lot of jobs milling fire damaged logs. Take care.
Man, it's really good to see you being able to get back at your milling again! I have been thinking of you and your situation ever since. You can appreciate that being here in far eastern part of Canada, we don't get much news of your plight there in Oregon. Addition: When I started to watch this video, some 11 hours ago,.I got called away. So of course I had to come back and finish watching this half log being milled,...what beautiful lumber you made for him! I'm now looking forward to your log felling video. Thanks again for this.
Thank you, Reg. I’m working on another video showing all the work that’s been going on. I hope to finish filming that last of the trees coming down today.
Almost Matt Cremona style milling. That is going to make a fantastic table. Would have liked to see a slab wetted down with water to get a better look at the grain but I would only be window shopping. Hope things are coming together for your neighbor.
California Black oak? You need to turn in your Oregonian card.😁 Good to see you back. I have been contemplating replacing the top on the old family kitchen table and have been wavering between veneer and solid.
That first cut was challenging the limits of your height Jason nearly needed a set of steps. I'm sure you will be busy for some time with all the trees getting cut down on the neighbouring properties in your area good luck on being able to keep up.
For sure! These trees I’ve lost are huge! Too big for my mill. We need to get you and Gary over like we were talking about. We could end up with a ton of great content! Let’s make a plan!
A big thumbs down for the 2 people who gave a thumbs down. This is one of the most honest down to earth guys you can find great work great personality and he would make a great neighbour. 💪😎👍🇨🇦
You just came across as a recommendation. I watch OTW out of the woods. He just started using a 4 degree blade. He said it is the best blade he’s ever used and wished he’d have switched sooner. Trees that have knots it cuts through like butter. I’m commenting from the burnt trees you were sawing in a different video.
Thank you! Honestly, I don’t really try to sell my slabs. I have a stock of them and people just seem to come to me when they have a project and ask about what I have. It’s definitely not the main source of income with my mill.
they replanted a lot of the san bernardino mountains with these in the late 1800s i believe, in about 20-30 years theres gonna be a lot of monster black oak like this out here
@@NorthwestSawyer that makes sense, they dont really have a straight trunk and they branch out like crazy and the grain is super inconsistent. i bet it makes beautiful furnature. all the ones out here get turned into firewood for the most part.
I have read that black oak is inferior to Eastern oaks because it tends to split or dry funny. But it seems a waste because they grow fast, tall, straight, and there are plenty of them. Care to comment on whether they have mass commercial potential?
I’ve read the same. This is my first experience with it. So far it’s dried perfectly flat but I am seeing a lot of checking. We’ll have to see how it turns out.
No one will sit at the head or the tail of the table. Even though chairs will be made for them. Those will be for visitors that will be walking by. You will ask them to join you. And they will sit on the honored positions.
I'm really curious to see how this one dries out... we never cut black oak because we were told it would warp terribly when drying... now I get to find out if "THEY" knew what they were talking about... seems like most times, they didn't!
@@Mark-dp3zf typically I’d prefer to use a less aggressive blade pitch on oak than I would on pine. The 7 degree is a decent middle-of-the-road blade in either the double-hard or the 747. The 747s do seem to clear the sawdust a bit better.
