This is a really ugly log

That was a funky log on the outside pretty nice lumber on the inside once a couple of layers were peeled off. That's like all of us. As you said, "Being different" there's beauty in almost everything, you just have to look for it. Thanks for the videos. They are often more than just sawing videos.

Hi Ed. Beautiful white pine lumber. I had a high school/ sophomore year of building a white pine coffee table. My mom & her boyfriend at the time. They wanted it. The lumber was 2--1/2 " by 12 inches by 8 feet long. Some of it had that " gray stains " on it. My 2 inch thick table top had those gray streaks. I did a natural colored stain. Then 3 coats of polyurethane. My design. I got graded an A on this project. 26:03 My mom & boyfriend ❤ it. It fit perfectly in thier living room/ apartment. However. You don't want " black stains." Sign of rotted wood. The lumber looks perfectly "kiln dry." It may need to dry a little. My late mom told me. Treat EVERYONE the " same way." No matter who they are. I ALWAYS have. Have a good Sunday Ed. Say Hi to Mark & ZZ. 🥰😊😉👍❤️💜🙏🏻

Thanks, Eddie. You do a great job. I really enjoy your videos.

I still say you guys are magicians to take such horrid logs and turn out such pretty lumber!

Nothing wrong with ugly logs... the just make Mark’s job interesting and let you appreciate all the great logs that come through your mill. Wishing you and your family a blessed week. Peace brother

Good to see you back in the outer office again as your presence in the last couple of videos was sorely missed. The "difference" in this log was that of night and day, pun intended.:face-purple-crying::face-purple-crying::face-purple-crying: The thing about being different is the one thing that makes us all the same. But it is not to be confused with being diametrically opposed which is another issue all together. Be safe, happy, healthy and above all be your own self.

Good Evening from Finland 🙋‍♂️Great work video again 👍👍👍

So that is where the aliens are hiding, in old dead logs, lol. You guys mill logs and get some lumber out of ugly logs most places would not touch. Well done.

"Uglier than the last ugly one" great name for punk rock band or profile nickname

That turned out some beautiful lumber to be such an ugly log. Thank you for sharing.

why the irregular cuts are so hipnotics?

A weed is a plant you dont want to see in your garden . It could be of value to someone else . All wood is beautiful to someone! I like your way of thinking .

Nothing wrong with blue sap stain. One of the first facts I learnt on a timber technology course. I wish we could smell that freshly sawn pine!

Love watching this end, too. ❤❤❤

That was ugly log wasn't sure if you could get anything out good job mark 👍👍👍👍

There is that famous throttle locking nail. Some things in life are just simple. That log sure was lumpy and bumpy on the outside; just like me. I am glad that you got some interesting boards out of it. It is always good to see you guys hard at work. 🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠

thanks again Eddie great video very clear to watch

Ugly,is beautiful, in wood language

Good afternoon from Lincolnshire UK.

The very first thing I thought when I looked at that stain was Alien.
