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.

Thanks for the comment and I will add your vote for the sugar pine tour.
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.
Sure. Lets take a tour. Great looking lumber. Wish we had some nicer trees in our area.

Generally not a big fan of “blue” pine, but that 3rd and 4th board are beautiful with the string striping. Would love to see some more Sugar Pine trees in the forest.
great a tour of the lands and types will be much appreciated, thanks again and happy easter

That is some beautiful lumber. I prefer 2" thick boards, but perhaps you can make more cutting the 1xs in the long run. Anyway, good job!

I prefer 2 inch boards too. But as far as selling them, I find more demand for 1 inch.
SUgar pine tour please!
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.

Yeah hate to admit it but I can get even cheesier than that. those pitchy pieces that came out of the middle would probably be good for bird nests since they would resist rot. I do wonder if the weather gods are amused by making me take my coat on and off.

Dude, those are some amazing looking stuff, only on a Woodmizer! Is that stuff started to turn or is that the norm? Don't get those logs around here lol. My editing chief went down to Arizona for spring break my analytics are going down lol I have been filming some milling on the Lt 50 wide, happy Easter and enjoy your weekend buddy 👍🧡🌲🌲🌲🌲

Thank you Craig and happy couple days after Easter. that log had been sitting around for about a year. The color is from blue stain and it has some bug holes in it.
Great looking sugar pine. I was didn’t see the apples ? I’d like to see sugar pine tour. The water test sure brung out the blue stain . That’s one nice stack of boards. Are them all 4/4 boards ? Thanks for sharing
@WilsonForestLands
Жыл бұрын
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.
Yes on the sugar pine tree in the wild. The clear heartwood would be my choice. I'll leave the cheesiest judgement to others. 🤣

Amazing boards... and such a nice job stacking... I wonder if the finished quality would benefit if you rolled some paint over the end grains?
@WilsonForestLands
Жыл бұрын
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.

How long does it take for the log to turn blue?
@WilsonForestLands

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.
