Milling Lumber From Burned Logs

Love that you said “straighter than Home Depot lumber” haha you’re so right, as a pro builder I couldn’t agree more.

Love the history. That makes it double enjoyable

I don't know why I can't stop watching saw mills and wood related milling or turning... ugh Its just so satisfying for me watch

Vey satisfying to see burned logs turned into usable lumber . That was a lot of work . Excellent job !

Man those are going to be some strong 2x4's. I have 3" and 4" 10" wide by 16' hemlock boards that I got for free. I used them for upright supports for my woodshed years ago. All pressure treated. They are rock solid and have been in the ground for almost 38 years now. Very nice video. Take care and stay safe, from Petawawa, Ontario.

Very happy to hear of your recovery...and the fact that you got some vacation time in. I cannot understand why you don't have more subscribers! I enjoy all of your videos and appreciate the time and effort it takes to film and edit each one.

I find watching a sawyer almost as soothing as watching Nate the Hoof Guy. Makes me wish I could still get out and build something!!! Great editing - wish all YouTube videos were as well edited. Love the fast forward - spot on!!!

I enjoyed watching Andrew‘s order being milled. I can’t wait to see his finished project. Well done.

Nicely done, some great looking lumber, a lot better than from. The big box lumber yards. Cheers

Even after being out milling on two different jobs from sun up to sundown yesterday, watching you work is still a great part of my day. Keep up the great work

Thanks for the video. A lot of folks are not aware that trees damaged in a fire are still useful.

Its good to see you back up and milling again 😁👍 Glad to hear you got a vacation in, but that you're all healthy again. The virus is some wicked crap for sure, and to not get hit hard was truly a blessing. Heres to staying cool with the fun in our PNW forecast this next week to two 🧊🐧🧊 All the best to you my friend! From Cottage Grove 🧔🏼👋🏻

It's always good to see you Jason,thanks for the video✌️ Napa California

Looks good as always and your son looks like he about ready for some hearing protection, work gloves and work boots. The next generation in the making, you got to love it. John

Thank you so much for the info,It’s completely out of what I do,I worry that there will be enough business,I’m in Mass but hoping to move to Maine,So no mill,no tractor,No contacts etc,I’m totally green,I’ve watched enough videos that I believe with some practice I can cut the lumber,Thanks so much for responding,Great job with the video,I’m actually looking right now to find a mill and work a day or so as a helper for free just to get some experience,Best to you,Great answer also!!!!!

Hemlock! I didn't know anybody still milled hemlock. Hemlock still is the predominate conifer in northern Appalachia, but it is no longer regularly milled for framing lumber. A little history; All those buffalo skins that were railroad shipped back east from the Great Plains buffalo (American Bison) slaughter arrived in upstate NY and PA where there was a tannery in every town. The hemlock tree bark was used to make tanning acids to cure the skins. Much of NY and PA was denuded of living hemlocks. There was much standing dead trees. These trees were harvested and milled for framing lumber. Those 19th century neighborhoods with the large ornate houses were built with hemlock lumber. Most of the major cities like Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Buffalo, Erie, Baltimore, Philadelphia, and even New York were built with 19th century hemlock lumber milled from trees "skinned" by the bark harvesters.

You end up with some monster chunks of wood on your mill. Its always a fun to watch you carve them in small sticks. Glad you have recovered from the virus. I'm looking forward to your next video. Larry in El Paso

Great to see, beautiful stuff. There is Hemlock here in the Ottawa Valley, scored some 2 x 10's from an old stable.

Oh! I am so glad to hear that you are feeling better! The same thing happened to Shane Klesh at the same time! I was like, " Where did my two favorite guys go?!" Anyway I am so glad you are ok and back! I hope your family are all well too! 💐 Take care! Joanie and Ger Bear

Nice! Sometimes Mother Nature's wrath works to our advantage. I have quite a few Ash logs to mill as a result of the Emerald Ash Borer. Excellent video as always. John
