I Cut a Massive Poplar Log… and the Profit Shocked Me

Today I’m cutting a massive Poplar log and breaking down exactly how much money it really made.
If you’ve ever wondered whether Poplar is worth milling, how much lumber you can get from a big log, or how profitable sawmilling can be… this video lays it all out. No fluff, no BS — just real numbers, real lumber, and a real day on the mill.

This Poplar log surprised me, and the final value of the boards was way higher than I expected.
If you’re into sawmilling, homesteading, selling lumber, woodworking, or you just like watching big logs get sliced up, you’re gonna enjoy this one.

I break down:
✔️ How many boards we got
✔️ Board footage
✔️ Real market value
✔️ Total profit
✔️ Why Poplar might be underrated
✔️ Customer uses for Poplar
✔️ Mill setup, blade choice, and workflow
