Before I went to the corporate world I was a cabinet maker in my HS and college days (I'm he in Bucks Co PA). One of the nicest set of Kitchen cabinets I ever made came from cherry. The interesting thing about the cherry wood is we took down a chicken coop made entirely from cherry. We planned and sanded it to get the chicken poop off of it. Dusty as all but the end result looked amazing.
Michael, NE Kansas. I am still working and never was off because of Covid-19. I started in early March working from home and it has been enjoyable for me. I work for a John Deere Construction dealership and man a station in the parts department call center. I can retire and my wife and I want to travel but aren't because of Covid. I enjoy this position because I don't need to get out to go into work, I still deal with people and, for me I can handle it. At least in my mind it's a simple position. Since I am home I can work through my lunch hour on small projects and can take inventory on what I might need for larger ones.
YES! Turning blanks! You'll have a huge market, Mike. Cherry is one of my most favorite hardwoods...and I've turned a bunch of it. Table legs, fern stands, pedestals, bowls, platters, etc. And, it's just plain fun to rub when finish time comes! You're really onto something here.
Coffee and Mike in the morning! 30° here in Northwest Indiana this morning, just a dusting of snow, just enough to cover the truck, one good breeze would blow it right off! Very nice job with that log, can’t wait to see what you do with it when you’re done! Love from North West Indiana! 🙏🏻👏👍💗🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
one thing about Cherry I find interesting is when you leave it out in direct sunlight it gets darker much faster.. have the kids cut out paper snow flakes or stars or any design really and glue them to the cherry board. let that 1 board have direct sunlight next summer and you'll have a beautiful decorated board the kids will always remember.
Yes it does darken quickly, when I constructed my furniture from cherry, after I sanded it, and before I applied the Watco oil, I carefully did a timed exposure to the sun to darken it...only takes a few hours
A couple of tips for anyone air drying lumber if they don't know: 1)Mike is right, take the time to stack well and to cover the top boards while letting air flow through the stack. 2)Seal the end grain with latex paint, oil based paint, or ideally Anchorseal, 3)If you leave bark on, you should spray with an insecticide (borate solution, etc) before stacking, especially if you aren't pretty far north, the soft inner bark is a favorite place for boring insects to start their work. Cherry bark especially, at least here in Virginia.
Just came in from moving snow up here in Farmington, NH. Watched 974 before 973. We have over 12” here just after 9:00 AM. More on the way. Great looking lumber. Glad to hear you may have kiln dried. Well worth the extra loading/unloading the trailer.
Watching you sticker reminds me of having to sticker for my dad growing up. Proper placement makes all the difference in sticking! I like the use of the long pallet to stack on!
Good morning everyone. 26º in KC now, rising into the mid 40s. I pray the Morgans are all well and enjoying the snow. Mike, you should get a Doyle scale log stick and measure the tree on the stump at DBH and compare it to what you get from the mill. I use the stick to inventory and mark my timber before contracting loggers on the tree farm near Stover. Stay safe, be humble & kind and Have a day.
We had a really cold and windy day here in Prince Edward Island, Canada about -4 F with the wind chill. The weather man said the cold front kept the snow south to the eastern U.S. . Being a home builder and still having a bit of outdoor work to finish up I'm happy to let you have all the snow.
Great Getting As Much Out Of A Log As You Can! I know there is a little Bit Of Thought Has To Go Into That! Can't Just Throw A Log On And Start Sawing Sometimes It Needs Ajustment!!👍👊
Hey mike ..Nice stacking for the initial air drying...Remember though to paint your log ends and you will save considerable degrade from end splitting as the boards dry...I like to draw a triangle on the painted end with a big magic marker...and perhaps number the boards so you can keep them sequential...For high end woodworking I like to grain match and book match panels , drawer fronts etc...It’s a lot easier if you have all the wood for a specific project all out of the same log and organized in sequence!... If you should end up selling wood to custom woodworkers it would be a big plus for the ones who are doing the top level of furniture, cabinets, passage doors, and architectural millwork to have these possibilities available!
I’ve watched a couple people make a solar kiln, it’s basically a shed with an angled side with windows or green house panels on it and two or three fans to keep the air circulating, it looked really simple and he just built it out of what he mailed. Something like that might be a fun project for you.
I made lumber pallets with treated lumber if I ever get it empty I can get a picture to you. I also use a couple pieces of roof steel for the top of lumber stack and ratchet strap it down to dry.
You could use the center for post to?. Great info. On this clip. I had a guy come to me with a woodmizer 40 hyd cut up some logs for me. We cut up 6 to 8 trees and came out to about the same or more lumber you did. My trees was 32 in round to 8 inch round. I needed 2x4, 2x6, 4x4 post. Hard word it is. Wet wood is very heavy!!! Oh yea down here we cut up pine and oak. Cherry is very slim here in Northern Alabama.

Mike, if you are going to keep cutting board lumber. I think it maybe time to build a solar kiln to dry your lumber. If done right the only cost is the building and a couple of solar fans. Solar dried lumber has less checking and stress put on the lumber during drying is less.
Hi Mike, You should consider building a kiln. Oh, and take a magic marker and mark the species of wood on each of those boards, so you will know where cherry ends and red oak begins. Of course, you can always go back to the video to figure it out. I don’t have that luxury!
48 years of being a locksmith specializing in making keys to motorcycles and doing other types of lock work in Illinois. Now retired and enjoying watching your videos and your wife's also keep up the good work.
Hey Mike, go down to the local antique store, or look on Craigslist, for some old wrought iron sewing machine table bases. Replace the top with some sections of that live edge cherry. Satin finish, and you’ll have BEAUTIFUL end tables for the living room. You could sell them online for $1000/pair.
Thanks for sharing the insight on taking time when stacking milled lumber. I often neglect the necessary attention to detail in this part of the process when I’m milling. Usually so excited to rip through logs and find the inevitable surprise. Now, I’m going to be searching for an urban cherry tree opportunity!
i use the offcuts and trash wood to oven bake my stickers... spacers as i call em... saves money and i use a large oil drum with the lid on hinges, can do about 75 to 100 stickers depending on the lumber being cut to size.... burn off rubbish wood and keep the saw mill area tidy... throw the damp saw dust in too to dry off and reuse or burn it...
I always get a kick out of the noob woodworkers who say they need a 20" wide board for this or that project. I'm happy to take all the 4" boards that nobody wants because to make a stable panel, it needs to be glued up out of narrower boards with the growth rings alternating. Only 1/2" of snow in west Michigan. The only thing the pith of a log is good for is firewood. Love the smell of cherry wood in a campfire!!
Hey Mike - in Canada we sell hardwoods by the board foot and construction lumber to the trades by the thousand board feet. Cherry around my place sells for about $6 bd/ft.
Yup Mike, measured by board foot up here in Canada also. Finally getting some serious snow here in New Brunswick, just on the northeast coast of the Bay of Fundy, but only about an inch so far. Take care, stay safe.
Very nice grain pattern in the cherry. When you go to use it. It will disappear quicker than you think. Design well my friend. Oh an good luck with the winter!
Hi Mike and family! Here in southern Rhode Island weve got about 8 inches and its still coming down. Going to get colder and freeze everything so must clean the driveway and walkways good! Nice to be a retired lineman today! I hear they got 40 inches somewhere in upstate NY. Nice job on that cherry tree, I wish I had a property like yours! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all of you!
In Canada it really depends on who you are buying the lumber from. If buying from Sawyer or specialty lumber store what t is sold by the BDFT. However, if buying from the big box stores (Lowe's, Home Depot, etc) it's sold by the linear foot.
Hope no one else figured your video is out of sequence. The previous one was snowing. Anyway really enjoy watching. Thanks from Northern Lower Michigan. We have about 6” of snow on the ground , 21 degrees this morning.
Actually was expecting it. He probably had this one just about edited and ready to go. Then made the one yesterday that didn't need much editing. Posted the one from tthe other day this morning, and headed off to plow his mum's, and Levi's family driveway, and a few others in the neighborhood.
What do you use to cover your stacked wood, Mike? Build a low light three trusses roof with overhang aluminium sheet and lift it on with forks. Use ratchet strap to hold trusses down and also compress. Works great for me!
"I'm pretty particular about that." 😂 I think at almost 1,000 videos in we've noticed you are pretty particular in everything you do Mike. That's not a bad thing. You take pride in your work and it shows. I wish I had your energy. Merry Christmas to the whole Morgan family. 🎄
Another great video, Mike. I hope you are concidering using a vacuum kiln to dry your lumber. It will dry the center of each board more thoroughly. Have a day!
Nice Mike! Very hard to find cherry lumber as good as this! Pennsylvania is known for this brilliant wild cherry board quality, really. Not much, if any, of those brown varnish-like veins of sap and the staining that you get from ground minerals. $3-$4 / bd-ft for 10"+ wide boards here in NE Ohio.
lumber looks vary nice your wood-mizer is working well I dont mix the live edge with the clean lumber for two reasons (1) We have powder post beatles and other bugs that nest under the bark (2) like to keep separate so not to upset a stack of one to get to the other love the look of quality cherry wood
Did you seal the ends Mike? I cannot tell from the videos if there is Anchorseal on them. Regarding the end stickers... generally the closer to the end of the board the better as the checking tends to stop at the sticker.
Can't ask for a better day than that, Mike! Saw milling and stacking beautiful lumber! Way to go! Taking a break from the snow clean up here this morning in Southeastern Pennsylvania. 💪💪💪
Mike, some time in the future, could you please cut the center section of wood down the center to expose the pith? Then show us with the camera what it looks like. Thanks in advance...
As a sticker, I used to stick for a living at times, the correct and neat sticking of a stack of lumber makes or breaks how good the end product lumber will turn out when dry.
Thanks JB, I was wondering if it was important to the end product. I assume it is imperative to get the stickers all in line so it makes it sturdy enough to bear the load without any warp?
I have a question for you, JB. Is it necessary to remove the bark from the live edge before letting it dry? I thought I heard that insects like to go to work between the sap wood and the bark. Thanks!
Taking off the wane edge before air drying is not necessary you are only going to air dry down to about 18 to 20% You'll be finishing the drying with heat involved. You can toast the bugs then. Or you can use the 18% wood on outside projects, keep in mind the possibility of bug in bark covered wood.
Mike, nice looking lumber i don't have a woodmizer myself, however, I do have a friend who mills my logs. Any trees i cut down, i try to mill the logs, then rest goes to firewood. Im building a garage with the lumber. Have you ever thought about building a kiln?
Howdy folks. Mike just for interest can you take your tester and check the moisture in that cherry lumber. A rule of thumb when I worked in the woods was air dry took a year to the inch. Just curious. Thanks & keep keepin' on.
Really like this one mate, great to see you making such efficient use of that cherry timber. Thanks for sharing. Off to find a sawmill setup for my self. :-)
Nice Cherry boards Mike, you mentioned selling some of your wares. What happened with the stump that you wanted to get rid of, I recall that someone was coming to pick it up. Did it go? It's great to see you are stilling what you do and enjoying it.

I would like to thank you. I have been in the hospital and your videos keep me entertained.
Love that beautiful red oak and cherry wood. Enjoyed the video. 👍👍👍❤️
So relaxing watching people do stuff with wood 😌

Beautiful wood Mike... Good job on sawing it.
Hi Mike beautiful lumber thanks for sharing
So awesome....From the earth to the consumer...Great job Mike and nice to see the whole process....
Be safe and God Bless

Anyway really enjoy watching. Thanks from Northern Lower Michigan. We have about 6” of snow on the ground , 21 degrees this morning.
I thought the same thing but didn’t comment because I really enjoyed the ride in the snow 😊.

That's what I'm using for flooring in my cabin. About halfway done laying it now. Southern Ohio local cherry.
That's amazing that all that snow melted already , I'm not use to that type of weather . I was a railroader for 37 years 😎
No it didn't

Thanks for another great video ! 9” here in Meridian Pa.
Glad to see you got one of the 6 or 8" plaster scrapers to get off sawdust when sawing boards. Bound to make it easier
Nice Mike! Very hard to find cherry lumber as good as this! Pennsylvania is known for this brilliant wild cherry board quality, really. Not much, if any, of those brown varnish-like veins of sap and the staining that you get from ground minerals. $3-$4 / bd-ft for 10"+ wide boards here in NE Ohio.
AH.....before the big snow! Beautiful lumber......I’m anxious to see how you use it. Have a day! Hi to the family.
Good Morning from lowa that cherry wood is absolutely beautiful with the burl grain. Great pick.
lumber looks vary nice your wood-mizer is working well I dont mix the live edge with the clean lumber for two reasons (1) We have powder post beatles and other bugs that nest under the bark (2) like to keep separate so not to upset a stack of one to get to the other love the look of quality cherry wood
Great video. Yes a board foot of lumber is sold exactly the same way up here in Canada. I live in Ontario. Have a great day.
Did you seal the ends Mike? I cannot tell from the videos if there is Anchorseal on them.
Regarding the end stickers... generally the closer to the end of the board the better as the checking tends to stop at the sticker.
Yes Mike it the Same here in Canada
Can't ask for a better day than that, Mike! Saw milling and stacking beautiful lumber! Way to go! Taking a break from the snow clean up here this morning in Southeastern Pennsylvania. 💪💪💪
At 10:13 in the video, that wide board in the middle is absolutely gorgeous!
Good job Mike. Great looking lumber. Would love to have a few boards down here in Texas.
Nice looking lumber
I’ll b e over to pick up that cherry wood. I have some furniture projects it would work for!!!! Beautiful, we need wood like that in Nebraska.
Beautiful looking wood always a first class job
Thank you for the insight. Good video. Thank you for sharing
Beautiful lumber. I’m also a big fan of cherry.
Mike, some time in the future, could you please cut the center section of wood down the center to expose the pith? Then show us with the camera what it looks like. Thanks in advance...
Live edge cherry is beautiful for tables.
Hey Mike, great video. Santa needs to bring you a respirator to wear when working the sawmill.
You should look into building a solar dryer. Not quite a kiln but it speedy up air burying.
nice lookin wood Mike. yes leave live edge can cut later, agree... thanks for video. be kind.
Lots ove info love the video Mike .
Great looking wood, look forward to seeing it evolve further into works of art!!
Lumber from specialty woods stores in Canada all sell by the board foot as well!
I enjoy watching a perfectionist at work. So few of them these days... 😎👌

Great stack of lumber ! Can’t wait to see what it turns into
Wow, nice live edge. Great work and looking forward to seeing your next video. 😎
In Canada rough lumber is sold by board feet, while finished lumber is sold by liberal foot by size.
Howdy from Bremerton Washington we have rain and 45degrees.
That is some beautiful cherry, Mike. I can’t wait to see how you use it.
Another amazing video enjoyed the snow video last night to
Love it's so cool seeing you use the sawmill.
That cherry will make beautiful cabinets. Great job!
Enjoyed the video! Amazing lumber from 1 tree.
That cherry is great looking. 27 inch’s of snow overnight in Danby Vermont and the temp is 14 degrees. Have a day
That is beautiful wood, heck thats beautiful saw dust
Central California Watching
Gorgeous wood.
I ve got a side board in need of a live edge top it's just finding the right piece for the job
Mike, nice looking lumber i don't have a woodmizer myself, however, I do have a friend who mills my logs. Any trees i cut down, i try to mill the logs, then rest goes to firewood. Im building a garage with the lumber. Have you ever thought about building a kiln?
Howdy folks. Mike just for interest can you take your tester and check the moisture in that cherry lumber.
A rule of thumb when I worked in the woods was air dry took a year to the inch. Just curious.
Thanks & keep keepin' on.
We always used our cores from milling as fence posts, cherry is probably not a good choice but that's what we do with our oak.
Great looking stack of wood Mike, great job milling. Fred 👍👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Hey Mike, 30" of snowfall in New Berlin, NY overnight (forecast 8-10", Ha!)! Used the FEL on my JD 2720.
Really like this one mate, great to see you making such efficient use of that cherry timber. Thanks for sharing. Off to find a sawmill setup for my self. :-)
Looks good keep up the good work
Mike , you boxed the hart on that & that's a good job !
Nice Cherry boards Mike, you mentioned selling some of your wares. What happened with the stump that you wanted to get rid of, I recall that someone was coming to pick it up. Did it go?
It's great to see you are stilling what you do and enjoying it.
