I enjoyed the video you did your best with the old logs by the way mark last maple log you sawed would make nice picture frame for pete to go with his deer heads in his house
It was a good Friday Video, I'm sure THE Eddie can make his planters out of what you have..."Use it up wear it out make it do or do without" What my Granny used to say... John
We have a lot of locust on our property. They are kind of a nasty tree. Always dropping bark, dead limbs and branches. Very few of them end up with a good solid, straight trunk. It does make very good firewood when it's dry. Burns very hot and lasts a long time. The thorns are wicked on the smaller branches.
I look forward to those future pine and spruce sawing videos. I'm a hobbyist bandsaw mill user and just finished sawing about 30 loblolly pine logs ranging from 8 to 14 feet long and 5 to 9 inches in diameter. After sawing all these into lumber, I am especially keen for the experience of others on how they cut their timber into boards. I think those pine and spruce logs will be personally relevant and I hope to pick up some tips and tricks. While I was happy enough with the work I did, I don't feel confident in my sawing decisions. Time will tell and more experience under my belt will teach me more. I eagerly anticipate what further videos you freely provide. Thank you.
Nice to see you all in operation again as usual; the walnut looks like Alfred Hitchcock. It is nice to hear the duo of Edmonston and Payne singing in harmony again with Edgy the Edger on backup vocals. 
Yes, I did enjoy that. I learn more about what it takes to be a skilled Sawyer by watching you make ugly lumber instead of pretty lumber. And as always, it takes teamwork and concentration to stay safe. The danger doesn't go down along with the lumber value.
Here’s proof that experience is most valuable. Me looking at that “firewood”. You look at it “I can get something outta this log” Proceeds to make a big pile of useable lumber. I’m impressed! Thanks for the vid.
Man that think is tof as concrete, but surely as he'll is pretty, hard on the tooths of the saw but worth it I guess, thnx for the video Mark, great job
Grandpa was saying sometimes it's good so saw lumber from logs like that. It gets a Sawyer thinking about ways to saw other logs and get better yield. If you make a mistake it's not the end of the world. Learning something is always valuable. You did find some desirable boards in there for boxes. Always an adventure.
Excellent video as always ! But why so many commercials? Doesn't youtube know we came to watch you and T.H.E Eddie horvath saw logs and do what ya'll do ! Lol
We got some trees down the road that are 2 feet around with 4 inch needles with angle needles from them and thicker than porcupine quills . They would make some good lumber if you could spend days cutting off the needles .
My wife thought the slab looks like a fire hydrant. As you move the camera around on it, I see a bear's face. As you are moving up with the camera, it looks to me like a standing bear.
