It's to bad that he doesn't have different support levels for people like me that admire his craft, his work ethic, his ingenuity and his personality, but is not a logger and doesn't need the nitty gritty of his logging business. i just like watching his videos for no particular reason and i would support him for a couple of dollars a month.

Thank you for your videos - they are exceptional! I appreciate how careful and safety conscious you are: this makes for a great example for others who are watching and may be considering getting 'into' the business as you are. Take care Sir: thanks for posting these videos.

Can't wait to see you pop open that Walnut log. Went Saturday and picked up 9 slabs that I've been waiting on for about 9 months. Most are running true at about 14 in. to 12 in. Doing two Grandfather clocks out of them and whatever else. Great video and take care.

We have been trying to get our youngest son to get a job at Wood-Mizer, the oldest son worked there and it was a great place, I'm glad to see an expert using a saw made just down the road.

Good evening Nathan, Those are beautiful boards. With that very straight grain, it would make beautiful cabinets. The color is very different than most wood. I like most of the viewers are looking forward to the that walnut log..

What a beautiful log and grain on those boards! That would make some incredible furniture. Thanks for sharing!

Awesome! Trees are so neat, the beautiful lines and growth of the inside and out. I use to work at a Veneer factory, catching the fragile sections of the different woods. There was Cherry, Teak, Pine, Walnut, so many. Teak was the most fragile to collect. Thanks for sharing

I was able to find some really nice sassafras that I used as a liner for a shoulder visa and a tail vice on my work bench. It really works easily and makes you want some sassafras tea ! Good stuff !

My grandmother used to make sassafras tea with the roots. I once helped my dad haul a huge black walnut log from his farm to a temporary Amish sawmill some miles away over skinny twisty dirt roads. We brought back beautiful lumber which he used for woodworking projects. I have an ink pen he made for me. :-)

Hi from across the pond in sunny Yorkshire UK. Its a real pleasure to watch a true craftsman at work. Loving your channel and that grain!

I love the enthusiasm in your videos, just the overall excitement of you wanting to get sawing cause you hadn’t done one in over a year.

Thank you for the video. The grain around those sassafras knots make it look 3d on the video.

Wood was something I had not really thought about, until I started watching these video's. It certainly is beautiful. There used to be a Shop in East Looe in Cornwall, UK, where everything was hand crafted out of Wood. I bought myself a Chess set about 45 years ago and still have it, there was also in the Shop, a poem about wood which was quite poignant. Love your vids .

Nathan you are a man after my own heart I see so many people doing stuff like you’re doing right now down on the ground instead of taking the grapple and picking it up and doing it where they don’t have to put a strain on their back

Thank you and that is a mighty fine looking tree. The grain in some places looks near like hickory to me. Take care and God bless

I actually grabbed an IBC root beer this afternoon while I was out just so I could watch this one. Worked like a charm :)

I scored some nice black walnut this year . Logs Laying in a guys yard. Milled up great. Been drying all year and is now close . Beautiful coming out of my planer.

Great job on the milling and gathering more saw logs. Really looking good around there. Fred. 🙏🏻🙏🏻✋🏻✋🏻👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Hey Nathan, I am a new subscriber to you channel. You put on very SMART timber videos, keep up the great work as I’m sure you will….I have learned a lot the last few days of watching your channel! Dude…inspiring…truly!!!

In the late ‘90’s I made a table lamp from Sassafras wood and loved working with it and the smell. I believe root beer was derived from the Sassafras root drink alluded to in old western movies.

When I finished building my mill last year the first log I put through it was a monster Sassafras. I could smell it when you were cutting that.

Yes we used to boil sassafras bark and make tea.. there was always a pot of it on our stove and our house always smelled so inviting. I still have one of the old aluminum pots we used to boil it in and it is forever stained a deep reddish brown.

Sassafras is a delight to work with and it reminds me of American Chestnut, which I worked with quite often over the years. I have quite a few Sassafras trees on my 8 acres and a few fairly large ones. I have a 1914 book about Pennsylvania trees and it shows some of these trees that are large, like 3 feet in diameter. Can’t wait to see that big old walnut Nathan! Kind Thanks and Blessings to All at the Mill Ranch! DaveyJO in Pennsylvania

Nathan, I grew up in east Tennessee. There was a lot of sassafras just smaller. I liked digging up roots and making tea. It is different, an acquired taste. Great in winter when the sap is down in the roots. I made a fence from 5" to 6" posts and 3" to 4" rails. It lasted several years. It was still there when we sold & moved to Alabama. Thanks for the reminder.

You have some of the most amazing camera angles and perspectives, Nathan. I appreciate the time and effort it takes to make it look natural. Bill

Great idea. Pick up the log to waist level before painting the end. Working smarter, not harder. Back when I grew up, a man at the county fair used to sell sassafras root tea. It was great, really just root beer, but then the FDA banned the use of sassafras root. It was a miniscule risk, but they did not care.

Nice looking coming out of that log. Nice walnut by the way. 👍

That laser shot was amazing! I could see how that would be helpful! Well done Nathan!

Another fantastic video. I never realized just how close you were. Recognized the mortgage in the beginning.

That sasafrass is amazing. I could smell you cutting it. Really. Being a west coast man we dont have the privilige of enjoying that smell out here. Not often. My only current connection is a small baby food jar with a few Sass root pieces that I scavanged at a relatives farm back when I was in later grade school in 1975. Ive held on to it as one lf my precious tresaures over all these years. Gets opened for a guick sniff every few years. Its truely amazing how we can associate certain smells with certain memories. The sass brings me back to carefree days of childhood roaming the woods of Michigan and seeing the smiles of my long decreased Aunt Dorthy and Uncle Dons while visitbg in the south western part of the state during the few months while being there as my father completed some graduate work. Great video BTW. Love California . we got some great things here . Not so much the plethora of hardwoods you lucky dogs out east have.. Makes a wood minded guy jealous at times. Keep up the good work . some day you get near the Sacramento or bay area stop buy and come sniff some Claro or Bastogne. Not sasafrass but a few smells to die for non the less.

9.2👍's up thanks for sharing this video with us all it's peaceful watching you work

I wanna see you vacuum the dust when you're done, super satisfying

Simply beautiful wood.

Nice to see your sassafras. There was one in Brampton Ontario a few years ago that may still be around. It was big! At least three feet thick with the branches 8-10feet above the ground. It’s not warm enough to grow here unless in town. I’d love to be able to smell the wood. Magnolia is another sweet smelling tree. The bark is used to produce Relora a calming supplement. I love your videos.

Wish I could smell it too, been awhile since I had sass in the shop. Ought to have scratch and sniff you tube videos more people would know that it's just wonderful.

I grew up on a 28 acre parcel of woodland in Southern Michigan in the 60s and 70s. Lots of sassafras trees. In the summer my mom and my little brother and I would collect sassafras seedlings and she would make home made root beer from the roots. Hence the name "root" beer! Apparently there is a naturally carbonated, fermented (alcoholic) type but she just made the non-fermented.

That is some beautiful wood. Thanks for sharing 👍.

Man I really enjoyed this video Nathan! Maybe you should treat Bruno to a root beer float in celebration of having sassafras on the mill! On a sadder note, ust lost someone in my local sawmill community yesterday, a great sawyer by the name of Jack Bacon. He and I share a birthday and every year we would tell each other happy birthday! We also thought it was funny that he was Jack and I was Jill. When I got my sawmill this summer and he was always giving great advice. Last lesson he gave me was always put your stickers 6" or less from the end to prevent checking and Jill make sure they are dry fir! He will be greatly missed!❤

As others have noted, root beer used to be made from Sassafras roots, thus the smell. Used to dig up sassafras roots in the woods behind our house and brew sassafras tea.

Had a sideboard made in Tasmania with Black-Hearted Sassafras, the top was 22* deep and there was a black (sap) vein about 6" wide. In Tasmania the wood color is usually a grey-purple color, pretty unique and spectacular!

My old aunt used to make us sassafras tea when we were little. Basically homemade rootbeer.

My grandparents use make their own root beer using the root bark of the Sassafras tree. I believe most commercial root beer was produce this way until the 60's when the FDA found that safrole, a key component of sassafras, was a carcinogen.
