That was a funky log on the outside pretty nice lumber on the inside once a couple of layers were peeled off. That's like all of us. As you said, "Being different" there's beauty in almost everything, you just have to look for it. Thanks for the videos. They are often more than just sawing videos.
Hi Ed. Beautiful white pine lumber. I had a high school/ sophomore year of building a white pine coffee table. My mom & her boyfriend at the time. They wanted it. The lumber was 2--1/2 " by 12 inches by 8 feet long. Some of it had that " gray stains " on it. My 2 inch thick table top had those gray streaks. I did a natural colored stain. Then 3 coats of polyurethane. My design. I got graded an A on this project. 26:03 My mom & boyfriend ❤ it. It fit perfectly in thier living room/ apartment. However. You don't want " black stains." Sign of rotted wood. The lumber looks perfectly "kiln dry." It may need to dry a little. My late mom told me. Treat EVERYONE the " same way." No matter who they are. I ALWAYS have. Have a good Sunday Ed. Say Hi to Mark & ZZ. 🥰😊😉👍❤️💜🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🌲
Good to see you back in the outer office again as your presence in the last couple of videos was sorely missed. The "difference" in this log was that of night and day, pun intended. The thing about being different is the one thing that makes us all the same. But it is not to be confused with being diametrically opposed which is another issue all together. Be safe, happy, healthy and above all be your own self.
So that is where the aliens are hiding, in old dead logs, lol. You guys mill logs and get some lumber out of ugly logs most places would not touch. Well done.
A weed is a plant you dont want to see in your garden . It could be of value to someone else . All wood is beautiful to someone! I like your way of thinking .
There is that famous throttle locking nail. Some things in life are just simple. That log sure was lumpy and bumpy on the outside; just like me. I am glad that you got some interesting boards out of it. It is always good to see you guys hard at work. 🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠
Nothing wrong with ugly logs... the just make Mark’s job interesting and let you appreciate all the great logs that come through your mill. Wishing you and your family a blessed week. Peace brother
WOTD: 'Doppelganger' Eddie's Band & Mill Crew Name Suggestion: 'Eddie & The Off-Feeders', featuring ZZ 'Chopsaw'' Mark. What did Off-Feed Eddie pick up off the ground by the saw horses and put in his back pocket? Did Chopsaw drop a $5 bill?
Several of the first 8 boards could easily be made in a Bar,with some natural cut outs for bar tender,and on the customer side too. Please, I see boards like this often,and these are the 2nd best I've seen for a bar with natural cut outs
@TheEddie1014 cost more to ship it in one piece,not worth it,but,if I live in your state,I'd buy all of those,because bars sell good for man caves,etc,live edge,with those curves,man
Half past ten at night ugly log making a silk purse out of a sows ear as the old fellas used to say , had a day off I was up the moors with the dogs couple of ham salad baguettes and a brew got a phone call we’ve had an accident horses and carriage motor bike ran into the back of it , I was eleven miles away got the carriage on my pickup I’ve got a tail lift we had to leave the tail lift down with the carriage on horses we’re ok two on the carriage we’re ok motor bike rider , wasn’t to happy he thought I should have put his motor bike on the pickup and took him home I had two words the last one was off , he caused the accident going to fast for the road he was on there’s a morel to this story ,, drive carefully the life you save may be your own ,, at least the walked away from the accident with out being heart , anyway have nice day
I got this one Michael. You can use the scraps from the edger as stickers for wider boards, but the problem is they cause what is known as “sticker stain” across the drying boards as they are as wet as the boards you are trying to dry. We use dry hardwoods for stickers as T.H.E. Eddie described in his comments just below your post. That eliminates the sticker stain everywhere a sticker contacts the board. Great question! And thanks for watching “Time with T.H.E. Eddie”! ZZ Mark
