Milling the World’s Most Beautiful Pine? On a Woodmizer LT15 Sawmill into Lumber and Slabs

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Milling a large sugar pine log on a Woodmizer LT15 sawmill. Sugar Pine is the worlds largest pine, I believe it’s the most beautiful as well. I milk them into lumber and live edge slabs. This log is blue stained, mostly in the sapwood. 
You can watch the first video where we cut this log open even it though it was too big to cut open.

    I would love to get a tour of your sugar pines... and while your identifying the sugar pines... it would be swell if you could tell us how to differentiate between other coniferous/ evergreen trees... ( pine vs fir vs hemlock vs spruce... you get the idea)!!! I enjoy your channel and look forward to your videos... I think you may be "blessed" with the same sense of humor as I am... I'm always chuckling at the little "Groaners" you leave behind.

    If you are chuckling at them instead of groaning, we probably do have a similar sense of humor. I will put your vote in for the sugar pine tour. Good idea to include the other trees.

    We used to do that with Ponderosa. My mom told us about it when we were kids. It was the hard glassy globs of pitch. It had a nice flavor. My dad told us sugar pine was a laxative so we didn’t try that. Apparently it is but now I know you need a lot more of it than that to have those effects.

    Hmmm, I noticed that at 6:55, no jacket. However, at 8:45, jacket... Seems tempting the weather gods played out against you... We don't have Sugar pine in Linn County, we do have Valley Ponderosa, which also gets the blue stain. I'd love to mill some of the "Cant-Can" for use in Barred owl and Western screech owl boxes. "Cant-Can" not the cheesiest, but approaching the line. Cheers and thanks for another educational video -- showing that us guys commonly defy the recommendations.

    I thought the apples were there but maybe Dave’s wombat came and ate them. They are 4/4ish. On the West Coast we don’t usually measure softwood in quarters. We can get away with taking a little out for saw kerf.

    It would probably benefit. I have never done it because most of the time I sell lumber before it has a chance to dry. The lumber I have cut from the rest of this tree over the last year has been very stable. It doesn’t crack much at all. I also cut it a little long so the ends can be trimmed off.

    When the bark beetles attack the tree they introduce the spores for the fungus that turns it blue. By the time the tree is dead it can be already starting to turn blue. This one died summer before last.
