Hi Chuck and Deb. That was some very good looking slabs. Still in the hospital but making progress every day. Could be out of here by Saturday or early next week. Take care my friends
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder my log hauler that picks up my uglys says he has a sale for everything but willow. I had a huge ugly silver maple log he took it no problem had a sale for it a guy makes bar tops and table tops likes it cause it’s soft and easy to work with.
Beautiful stuff, how I wish I had some 5 1/4 lumber out of that, love that oak in my opinion it far surpasses the black walnut... By the way keep up the good work.
Hi guys. I thought the grain on that oak was outstanding. So much character. I enjoyed the live feed taking down the poplars. Sometimes shortcuts take twice as long. Isn’t that so Chuck? 🤣🤣 Take care and stay safe both. Stan
We love that oak as well. We have some of our own, drying in the stacks out back. The best of intentions are sometime met with the largest of challenges. We won't be doing that again. LOL
pin oaks are usually less desirable for lumber because of the high number of branches and knots. hence, pruning of branches, as occurred here, is necessary to maintain timber value. but even after pruning, darkened evidence of branches will remain in the wood, as your video has shown. but one person's blemish is another person's "character". as a tree, however, pin oaks make beautiful landscape/shade trees and are fairly fast growing for oak trees.
@@SilverBack. I'm a turner as well, and completely agree. I have so many blanks of so many different woods. I guess I could add some of theses. We have A LOT of these trees coming down around here.
Another amazing video seeing that log reminded me of my first question to you many moons ago what is that thing that keeps going in and out lol that one shot showed how nice the debarked really works keep those great shots coming
I hate the pin oak tree. Leaves are a nightmare to clean up. But boy doesn’t it have some pretty grain. Cool pictures of the incapacitated pruned limbs. Thanks for another awesome video.
Hello Jeffrey. I actually like the wood, but when I talk to others about sawing it, they always tell me it's junk. I don't know why people hate it so much, but that's all I hear about it. I'll saw it any time.
When you saw heavily figured lumber like the pin oak, do you have any trouble keeping the slabs from warping, while drying. For wood turnings, I soak them in peg to help with that problem. On you scale that's out of the question. Just curious.
Hello Charles. Once the slabs are stacked and stickered, we place several ratchet straps around the stack, directly in line with the stickers. We ratchet them tight, and check them once a month th or so, and tighten as needed. This seams to do the trick
Well, I can only speak for my 25HP gas, but I use 7° turbo 739 for most everything. You might find that 4° blades work better if you have higher HP. This pin oak looked pretty darn nice. It should nake some nice pieces.
@@debfromthemill6945 Googled pinoak properties, Deb: "...much favoured by furniture/cabinet makers..." so - not ugly at all. I guess it's like that duckling. 🙂
