Can a Small Sawmill Turn a Walnut Log Into a Mantel?

Watch the sawmilling process on a 14-inch black walnut log. We break down the log into custom lumber at Middlefield Custom Sawmill. This project focuses on the Wood-Mizer LT15 in action. You can see the full sawing process from the initial placement of the log to the final cuts, which reveals the beautiful grain and texture of the wood. Whether you are interested in milling your own black walnut log or just enjoy watching the machinery work, this walkthrough covers the essential steps. It is a straightforward look at turning raw timber into usable boards. Subscribe for weekly sawmill project updates and comment below on what type of wood you would like to see us cut next.
