We Milled This Huge Pine Into Siding | Here's What One Log Made Us

We milled this huge pine into siding at The North River — one log on the Woodland Mills HM130 MAX portable sawmill, cut board by board into 1x10s. The Machine seats it, the bandsaw mill takes it down, and we work the cant until the stack is sitting there. Eastern white pine, milling lumber the long way: first slab through the last board. Here’s what one locomotive size log made us. ⏱ CHAPTERS 0:00 Slowly accumulating stock 0:10 Milling pine into 1x10 siding 0:14 The Machine seats the log 1:08 First pass on the mill 1:46 Thicker slab for the bridge 2:19 Jacking the tapered end 4:42 Flipping the first face 5:15 Squaring the next face 6:30 Measuring for 1x10s 7:00 First siding boards coming off 8:54 Rolling the cant 9:45 Lots of wood in this log 10:17 Cutting the cant down 13:13 Boards coming off the mill 14:51 9¾ or 9½ 15:20 Board by board through the cant 23:15 Imperfect boards back on the mill 25:51 What one log made us 26:26 One more pine — and what’s next ────────────────── Gear used: The Machine — Kubota KX040-4 The Mill — Woodland Mills HM130 MAX ────────────────── The North River is 180 acres of Ontario forest. No clear-cutting. We run a real forestry management program — selective work, habitat, trails, and the long job of building something that lasts. The river is the show; the tools and the work are how you see it. One more pine left on this batch. We’ve already started pulling more pine out of the woods — some oak too. More large pine still to mill. The stack is only getting started. ────────────────── Subscribe for more from the land:    / @thenorthriver-on   ────────────────── 🌲 HOW THIS PINE GOT HERE • Hardest haul in the forest:    • Salvaging a Giant Fallen Pine for the Sawm...   • ATV log arch vs big pine:    • ATV Log Arch vs Big Pine Logs vs Man | Hau...   • Scouting the giant pine:    • Is This Giant Pine Worth the Effort? Scout...   🌲 PINE ARC — same mill, earlier logs • What the sawmill gave us:    • This Massive Pine Sat a Year | Here's What...   • Milling pine siding — how many boards:    • Milling Pine Siding on the Sawmill | How M...   • Finer Cuts — storm pine:    • Finer Cuts | Milling a Storm Pine for Maxi...   • Chunky Monkey:    • Milling the Second Pine Log | Chunky Monke...   • Giant pine — how many boards:    • That Giant Pine Finally Hit the Sawmill | ...   • Fallen pine into 1x10s:    • Sawmilling a Fallen Pine Into a Stack of 1...   • Deadfall pine:    • Deadfall Pine on the Sawmill  | Was It Wor...   • Crooked pine into something useful:    • Nothing Gets Wasted: Milling Crooked Pine ...   More oak and pine milling is on the milling playlist:    • Milling Trees to Lumber   #sawmill #portablesawmill #woodlandmills #bandsawmill #millinglumber #logtolumber #whitepine #homestead #ontario #thenorthriver
