How to Quarter Saw the Easy Way

What a great video. I'm new to the log milling groups and it's mainly for personal and hobby use. I really liked your info and the way you presented it. I'm using a WM HM 126 and so far it's been fun, educational, and interesting for me and my wife. Thanks again, Bruce. Elma, WA.

Beautiful lumber by beautiful people. Hope things are going great for you and continue to do so. From Southwestern Oregon. I'm retired now. Lots of years around wood products. I really like what the two of you are doing. Quarter sawing larger high-quality logs really does make a lot of sense. Again, beautiful lumber.

Its a lot of things to remember, a lot of work. Good job

Just found this for quarter sawing the east way. I plan to use this myself. Thanks for taking the time to share!

Gives me shivers thinking of logs not sawn to advantage-me esp ! You are a GRAIN ENGINEER! So you get the best/most out of grain=to yield beautiful grained to enjoy throughout lifetime. I learned A LOT! Thanks. Dick

I wish i could afford a mill to have lumber thats good. Its hard on a fixed income to get ahead. Everyone who has one i hope you help people who cant afford much. Barter, trade. Im happy for you looks like a nice mill.

Well now, we have an older house with hardwood floors in every room, even the closets, I thought all those marks were from a bad saw job! Didn't know I had such great floors till now! We wanted to have them refinished but we were told we would hit nails so we went with carpet, when they cut out the duct holes for our HVAC we found out the floor boards are about 1 1/2" thick, some of them had the old saw mill name stamped on them. 20 years later and carpeting done twice now, I want to rip up the carpet and refinish them! That's some beautiful lumber for sure. Thanks for the video 😊

Thanks for doing this video...seems like the simplest and most logical way I have seen it explained and demonstrated to date. Helpful for beginners like me ;)

Beautiful wood!!!! Learning a lot from y'all!!! Have a Safe Day

I've heard of quarter sawing, but I have never seen it done. Thanks for showing this.

Hey Deb. Just found this video. Great job. Sorry for your loss.

I’m weird in the fact that I love lumber with “flaws” more than I love clear lumber. Quartersawn just makes it more beautiful. As always great informative video guys!

Beautiful lumber and awesome job Deb and Chuck.

Dang it! Missed it even with the notification on. Was distracted with a car problem.

Another 5 ⭐ video keep up the awesome work God bless y'all from Gaffney South Carolina viewer

You could saw my oak for quarter saw if I lived by you. Excellent work!!!

Howdy Chuck & Deb! Great educational video. Thank you so much for the detailed explanations. I have a nice White Oak to mill up for trailer decking, so I’m exploring my options. Bless’ns to ya both, Tedd

Thanks Deb and Chuck, I almost missed this video, and I keep asking about quarter sawn, beautiful stuff thanks again.

Beautiful wood great job explaining the process

Long overdue to let folks who care about me know that yes, I am okay, just old. I did the swing arm on this mill I designed an it doesn't deflect a eighth of a inch when it is free arm travel. Your mill is horizontal drive and mine is vertical travel on the powerfeed. I do weigh a good one third more but its moved on just four tires like you'ns is now. Most of the ideas came from swingarm motorcycle frame work. Yet some of the drive came from a old Brockway truck from the early forties. Yes, a ton less in weight but its the ideas from old designs that did work an will work again if metal fatigue is not a factor. I hope 630 stainless face bearings will hold up on timken roller bearings. So far, everything is easy access so hopes are elevated. On a different note, I nearly missed the chance myself to see the trees that you visit in some museum. Vertical grain not a problem, its getting a tree small enough to go through any mill. Thing is, there's a zillion of them still in our national forests just rotting away because of the .0001% of our population than might ever try to see. I understand making a forest protected for all to enjoy but to lock up millions of acres for this is just wrong. Walking on foot only access for a hundred miles is in my mind, Ludicrous to think even a few of those who could would ever travel to. I was just a young teenager working for the Silver Queen Mine, it had huge timber blocking the way to this mining area that would solve our national debt to this day. The cores from drilling had ounces of gold with high zinc content and of course lead, silver, and a lot of trace minerals.... it was crazy following veins that within very few feet from the surface, wide as a two lane highway and thick! We had to leave it because of the "Wilderness Bill" and it was quite painful knowing we were in the Bill Gates today fortune level. The large fir an cedar, hemlock trees were all twenty foot plus on the stump an a hundred foot plus to the first limb. All in all, a college level crash course in government bureaucracy that drove this young man crazy at the time. I found myself wishing for things that would help everyone who was poor an find health for the sick. It doesn't work that way as people soon forget to save for the rainy day. TV changed us, it made us believe that the world wants war and we couldn't be further from the truth. I haven't met many who wished to die just because they were poor . an poor is a term that is used wrong as well. Poor compared to what? Enough Morgan as I see a book length comment coming/LOL
