Matt - Immensely enjoy your videos. Not only do I acquire a lot of technical knowledge, watching you saw logs is very relaxing, something that touches our primitive cortex, much like taking a nap in a good rainstorm. You have a very rare 'pn camera' talent, which is the ability to communicate in an easy / clear manner. If you ever get tired of woodworking, you could be a late night TV talk show host hands down!
And that door and wall art pieces at the end are why you should watch the video all the way through! That’s a great collaboration and I look forward to more creations from it.
Sawyerphila - The medical condition of coming home after a long day at work and watching a man enjoy his sawmill! Thanks for sharing your love for your work
Now that we know your saw could accommodate a car, I will be eagerly awaiting the day you mill up a Toyota. :) Seriously, I love the excitement you convey when you see the beauty of the wood! Thanks for sharing!
Awesome! By the 4th or 5th slab I was like: Oh another amazing slab...and another...and another. You'd think I'd get bored watching wood being sawn. But I don't. Keep up the good work, Matt.
"Nice crack". As an urban Sawyer, we agree, cracks are part of the natural beauty. We would have milled these a bit thicker to be safe and ensure as finished live edge tops that they are at least 2" thick. That vacuum kiln is sweet with the clamping system. That door is sweet...very nice work. We are producing some special wall art that we hope to share early next year. Keep it up and love what you do!
Matt, Ive been watching for a while, and always like you ability to overcome the size of the log. I see millions of projects for people with that wood.
I had the privilege of living and working at an old growth sawmill in the late 70's, in eastern victoria, Australia. We used to mill Australian mountain ash which can grow up to 300 feet high. Largest log we cut while I was there was 14 feet in diameter. There were two logs of similar size from the same tree, each log weighed about 40 tons ( the max load for a log truck). The breakdown saw had a 12 foot jaw, I could fit my forearm between the teeth of the blade. The mill is now a ghost town in the middle of Errinundra national park that was created in the mid 80's to preserve these magnificent giants.
This is absolutely fantastic milling! Love the measurements on the “little” end of “only 36”” lol My biggest slabs are only a touch over 2’! I also like the fact even you had to trim the log! 😀🤔 Keep up the epic logs 👌🏼
Ahhhhhhh! So Matt finally understands how us little mill people feel!!!! We do anger management every log we saw! Really cool to max out the mill! Didn't think it would ever happen.
First time I have ever seen one of these big cuts on the same day it posted (and I have watched them all). ......and those may be the best looking slabs you have ever cut! Amazing work on the completed stuff too.
That is some nice slabs, not something we see down here in the south. Good to see you had some help with this one. Going to steal your idea and drill some holes in my cross supports for log moving.
Such amazing! Such a beautiful stuff. I really enjoy watching your bandsaw mill doing the cut, It's wonderful! I can't wait to see what's your going to do with those beautiful slabs in your next project. Very nice matt. Good job😉!
I have a time consuming milling idea for you. A time-lapse / animation of a log being sawn... sawed... CUT a quarter inch at a time, for both some very thin slabs, and also for a shot of the log being cross-sectioned to see the grain from top to bottom. You make cutting a log into boards interesting : ) (Along with your other full projects) Good times!
probably the coolest saw milling video I have ever saw, lol. Beautiful Maple, I have alot of it on my property and I just got a saw mill (nothing as big as yours) I didn't build my own (don't have the time). Love the way the door turned out with the wood, didn't like the epoxy design much but its not going in my house and every one likes different stuff. Great job as always Matt
This is gonna be gorgeous when it's all done! Those slabs you cut first will make some awesome tables and such. While these veneers are really gonna show off when placed properly. And by no means am I an expert on wood working nor furniture! I just know what I like!
I saw a trailer today with a log arch and winches on it with some pretty good sized logs on it. Needless to say I got a little excited when I saw it then an hour later you upload a video about sawing up some maple! What a day!😎
The highlight of this video is the Queen Anne Highboy at the end. That cherry has taken on some beautiful color since you built it. That thing is beautiful.
That highboy was one of the first videos of yours i saw. It is truly a beautiful piece of master craftsmanship. One day I hope to be half as skilled and talented as Matt Cremona!
thats freakin huge matt . i used to have mill envy but after watching this one , hell no . i will stay satisfied with my itty bitty hudson .you're making my back hurt just by watching this .
Matt, Definitely shows off your milling machines’ large capacity! Great work and beautiful pieces. This collaboration is gonna be wonderful for shortening the time it takes for selling your slabs! Will you be building your own vacuum dryer when you ever get around to moving to a new location? Hope Lindsay and baby girl are doing well !! Tell her I said hello.
Even after sanding is there still some quality grain texture, those pinks of branches look gorgeous. They have to be four five stone apiece then. See these at 26:40 are the bits I mean in the other text for coffee cup mats dinner place mats somebody could but from you and make them. Same with any branch as thick as your wrist or fingers cut em into coins and make episy resin breakfast tables of three feet diametre
Hi Matt I have been watching you for a while now and love the content. Top three TH-camr in my opinion. Thanks for sharing this. Having said this, year you have inspired me to start milling my own lumber. I’m surprised by the ease of which I can actually get saw logs through Craigslist in my area. I just bought two 50 foot sycamores, a 75 foot poplar for $100 each. I also bought 4 100 ft dead straight oaks for $200 a piece. All I have to do is remove them, they actually had them cut and limbed for me. I don’t know if this is beginners luck or not, but I hope the trend continues. Now for my question. To date, I have watched 2.7 million chainsaw milling videos, but have never seen anyone mill beyond the initial live edge cutting. What is you best suggestion for squaring these planks into squared workable material for furniture building? Table saw? Circ saw? I have watched most if not all of you videos to this point and thought your series on milling and drying was fantastic, it will certainly be my guide through this process. Thanks again for everything, I really have learned quite a bit from you. Dave
merci pour ces vidéo de construction et de coupe de bois , félicitation pour ton projet , en passant je me demande pourquoi tu ne met pas un 5 gallons sur ta machine pour arroser la lame peut être une perte d'eau merci encore Matthew
Great video Matt, always nice to get some woodworking done while I'm doing code work =) and I don't even have to start up my mill. Someone needs to buy you a hose so you don't have to lug buckets of water around.
Hi Matthew. Fantastic videos. I'm wondering, do you always wait until the logs are dry, or you also cut green. I own 40 acres of forest in Arkansas with huge Walnut and Oak trees. I want to start cutting after watching you. LOL Thanks again.
Muito bruta a máquina, na verdade a maior que tenho visto na Internet. Você tem me inspirado, fiz uma com 170cm. de largura inspirado em você! Obrigado por compartilhar conosco!
Hi Matt in that first cut just before 2:00 mins what happens to the bits that are too thin for tables or just worktops, do they get used for little nats for cups or pink glasses or hit good place mats and front door plaque to put house numbers on so you can sell them to smaller milks or woodwork joiners in bulk and make a bit if cash for Xmas work outings
You all prolly dont give a damn but does anybody know a tool to get back into an Instagram account..? I somehow lost the login password. I would appreciate any tips you can give me!
@Kaiden Arian thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site through google and I'm trying it out now. Seems to take a while so I will reply here later with my results.
How about slabs from not so big trees (up to maybe 20 inch diameter) including the central part of the crown as decorative wall panels? Keep as much of any branches as can fit in the saw. Would be cool.
Cool experiment in the 1/2 slabs, but man, seems like it would take so much longer to cut up a tree that way. That said, it doesn't really work without that nifty vacuum kiln. Cool stuff. Like seeing the experimentation for sure!
or if he lifts them properly itll result in a Big Back.... we evolved to lift throw toss and do work just because everyone walking out of there office jobs lifts like theyre 85 years old doesnt mean using your muscles will ruin them
I didn't hear it either altho I skipped ahead as it was getting a little repetitive. But, given how those slabs flexed I guess less than two inches. Also, not his log, and Eric has uses for this slabs.
Awesome stuff Matt! 😃👍🏻👊🏻 ..... Maybe it's just the first time I'm noticing it, but did you always store those log rolling tools on the saw head? 🤔 ....Seems like something new to me.
Hi Matt, I’m sure you get asked this all of the time and maybe I just missed it. Have you ever measured the sound of the mill cutting these wide timbers? I note that you don’t appear to wear ear pro. What is your lot size and are there any neighbor issues with the operation of the mill? I’m not sure if you’re located in residential neighborhood or a rural lot. Thanks for your response.
![Sawing Live Oak [It's so dense and so beautiful!]](/img/n.gif)
That mill is a beast. Love these log sawing vidoes. Please don't "quit". Keep these great videos coming.
thanks!

And that door and wall art pieces at the end are why you should watch the video all the way through! That’s a great collaboration and I look forward to more creations from it.
The seeing of the end was a nice touch. Seeing the Log cut, and then seeing what was done with it is quite entertaining.

I think I have that too
Now that we know your saw could accommodate a car, I will be eagerly awaiting the day you mill up a Toyota. :)
Seriously, I love the excitement you convey when you see the beauty of the wood! Thanks for sharing!
hahahaha future video idea! Thanks!!
The door and 'wall art' are amazingly beautiful! The colour of the bark is intense, nice to be able to see some of it in these two pieces.
Awesome! By the 4th or 5th slab I was like: Oh another amazing slab...and another...and another. You'd think I'd get bored watching wood being sawn. But I don't. Keep up the good work, Matt.

Finally. Someone who shows some finished pieces.
I love the work you do and ideas with new uses of natural resources that save these great trees
I had the privilege of living and working at an old growth sawmill in the late 70's, in eastern victoria, Australia. We used to mill Australian mountain ash which can grow up to 300 feet high. Largest log we cut while I was there was 14 feet in diameter. There were two logs of similar size from the same tree, each log weighed about 40 tons ( the max load for a log truck).

Great video as always Matt. Going by how many logs you process, a hose would be great. Just a thought though.
This is absolutely fantastic milling! Love the measurements on the “little” end of “only 36”” lol My biggest slabs are only a touch over 2’! I also like the fact even you had to trim the log! 😀🤔 Keep up the epic logs 👌🏼
hahaha thanks!!
Ahhhhhhh! So Matt finally understands how us little mill people feel!!!! We do anger management every log we saw! Really cool to max out the mill! Didn't think it would ever happen.
hahahahaha
I feel like this is the equivalent of a wet t-shirt contest for wood workers
#LogRights #StopLogPorn
I was thinking along similar lines. Matt is providing wood porn! LOL
@@lightdark00 LOL There's always one "crusader" in the bunch.... ;)
New drinking game. Take a drink everytime Matt says "bark inclusion" 😜
Great analogy. 😋
Really enjoy your videos. Glad to see you with a bit of help throwing them slabs around when age creeps up on you your back will appreciate it.👍👍👍
Matt, you are a lucky guy to be able to save so much awesome wood for projects. It pains me to see great tree's like this one turned into firewood.
Always gotta respect a guy who has fun and enjoyment whilst working. Excellent stuff Matt
Brian Joyce thanks!
That door and wall hanging are ingenious creations - absolutely awesome!!!
First time I have ever seen one of these big cuts on the same day it posted (and I have watched them all).
......and those may be the best looking slabs you have ever cut!
Amazing work on the completed stuff too.
thanks!
Wow that was a very nice Log.Great idea with the door.
That is some nice slabs, not something we see down here in the south. Good to see you had some help with this one. Going to steal your idea and drill some holes in my cross supports for log moving.
Thanks!
You have some of the most interesting videos on sawing logs, thanks for sharing.
Man Matt - I need to get on your friend list...get a big trailer, big truck, chain saw and access to huge logs and life would be good. Amazing slabs!!
I would really like to get my hands on a few of those doors. Great work.
Such amazing! Such a beautiful stuff. I really enjoy watching your bandsaw mill doing the cut, It's wonderful! I can't wait to see what's your going to do with those beautiful slabs in your next project. Very nice matt. Good job😉!

Lee Hedges thanks!
Gosh, I'd love to sew what becomes of these beautiful pieces in the hands of a talented cabinet/furniture maker!
This is gonna be gorgeous when it's all done! Those slabs you cut first will make some awesome tables and such. While these veneers are really gonna show off when placed properly. And by no means am I an expert on wood working nor furniture! I just know what I like!
Whoa... gotta stay to the end for this one. Those thin slab projects are the bomb. That takes a lot of weight out of the equation. Really nice.
thanks!
It was great to see some finished products. Please show us more of what become of those awesome boards and slabs.
hate to break to u,lawyer offices
I saw a trailer today with a log arch and winches on it with some pretty good sized logs on it. Needless to say I got a little excited when I saw it then an hour later you upload a video about sawing up some maple! What a day!😎
That's a pretty incredible day!
Matthew Cremona it was!
The highlight of this video is the Queen Anne Highboy at the end. That cherry has taken on some beautiful color since you built it. That thing is beautiful.
It’s catching up the the secretary desk. Thanks!
That highboy was one of the first videos of yours i saw. It is truly a beautiful piece of master craftsmanship. One day I hope to be half as skilled and talented as Matt Cremona!
Thank you!
Gday matt. Love the veneer products you are embarking on. And the build videos. Awesome stuff. Well done man!
Thanks!
Thanks for showing what some of the log ended up as. Thats an interesting concept!
Thanks for watching!
Beautiful end products with those thin pieces. I enjoyed the video very much.
thats freakin huge matt . i used to have mill envy but after watching this one , hell no . i will stay satisfied with my itty bitty hudson .you're making my back hurt just by watching this .
I am glad you are talented with your medium
Learning lots from your channel. Thanks!
Sometimes I wish I could give you Two Thumbs up and this is one of them
Great looking projects Matt.
thanks!
So bigger IS better! LOL....seriously though, what a beautiful tree. That mill is a beast!
I wonder, when Matt met his wife, if he threw water on her.
909sickle oh my goodness
I love this comment so much. So random, so funny yet so possible
This a valid pick up maneuver in several situations... Just don't comment on the figure...
As long as he didn't through water on her and say nice crotch figure, otherwise he might not be married!!!
Look at her ..she‘s beautiful!
Holy smokes! That was a huge log. Beautiful! Nice video.
holy smokes is right!
Matt, Definitely shows off your milling machines’ large capacity! Great work and beautiful pieces.
This collaboration is gonna be wonderful for shortening the time it takes for selling your slabs! Will you be building your own vacuum dryer when you ever get around to moving to a new location? Hope Lindsay and baby girl are doing well !! Tell her I said hello.
Awesome...thanks for the video. Amazing door! You have a nice supply of slabs...worth all the effort!
Thanks!
Just cut 82 inch wide burl on my home made mill never seen such beautiful wood 😎
Awsome job bro started watching u now I'm hooked
That visual look to "things" is so much better than the auditory look to "things"...
Funny guy!
😂😂
Great stuff Matt!
Beautiful! At one point it began to look like the deck of an aircraft carrier!
Even after sanding is there still some quality grain texture, those pinks of branches look gorgeous.
They have to be four five stone apiece then.

Beautiful pieces of wood and one can only imagine the stories that tree could tell
Gary Haines it can't tell any stories now because it's dead
That is a nice door!!! Beautiful
thanks!
Great video Matt, always nice to get some woodworking done while I'm doing code work =) and I don't even have to start up my mill. Someone needs to buy you a hose so you don't have to lug buckets of water around.
How else am I going to get my much needed workout!?
these are going to make some beautiful tables.,.!! Just keeps get better and better ..!!
WOW! These will make some beautiful tables!
After a million years or whatever wood is just in our dna,any culture.
I woodwork but enjoy milling/collecting wood just as much.
Nice job Matt beautiful Maple!
thanks!
Hi Matthew. Fantastic videos. I'm wondering, do you always wait until the logs are dry, or you also cut green. I own 40 acres of forest in Arkansas with huge Walnut and Oak trees. I want to start cutting after watching you. LOL Thanks again.
Beautiful log!! Really enjoyed the video Matt! Thanks!!
Thanks Donny!
WOW! I had visions of all that reaction wood in the 1/2" slabs turning into the Rocky Mountains...
At 15:42, you have GOT to make a giant (Jackman style) guitar!! The slab at that point has the general shape of a guitar body.
I I wish you talk more about your building of your Mill and the operation of it
One of your top shows
It sure is nice to not hear engines noises while you are cutting the slabs, great job and just awesome wood .
When are you going to start to mill up some nice timber frame material. Would love to see a timber framed shed or something.
When we move and I have room for a new structure

Great stuff! I have to ask... why don't you just use the hose to spray the slabs instead of filling a bucket?
It’s not as much fun
Wow! Can i ask, how do you decide how thick you saw your slabs? Great work, great movies!
Absolutely beautiful Matt
Gotta love the fishing style 'this is how big it was' pose standing next to it on the mill.
Pics or it didn’t happen
What kind of drying system does Eric have? It would be nice to see it being loaded and learn low it works.
Matt, get some material handling equipment. Muscling those slabs and logs around by hand will eventually result in a bad back. Be careful.
or if he lifts them properly itll result in a Big Back.... we evolved to lift throw toss and do work just because everyone walking out of there office jobs lifts like theyre 85 years old doesnt mean using your muscles will ruin them
Wow. So impressive. Great job as usual. Keep it up.
Another great video! I wonder though, do your neighbors ever complain about the noise and dust?
Nope
Great vid! Fantastic seeing some end results.
Fantastic! Did I miss the thickness at which you cut these slabs?
I didn't hear it either altho I skipped ahead as it was getting a little repetitive. But, given how those slabs flexed I guess less than two inches. Also, not his log, and Eric has uses for this slabs.
@@cdouglas1942 Yeah I picked up on the 1/2" veneer. It's hard to tell in the video but I was guessing 5/4 maybe 6/4?
Awesome stuff Matt! 😃👍🏻👊🏻 ..... Maybe it's just the first time I'm noticing it, but did you always store those log rolling tools on the saw head? 🤔 ....Seems like something new to me.
Been like that for a couple years. Maybe this is the only time theyve ever been put away? lol thanks Fred!
That's great, such a lot of nice clear timber!
Really beautiful Matt!
Wow those are so awesome and just beautiful . What would something like cost if anyone would like to buy one
Hi Matt, I’m sure you get asked this all of the time and maybe I just missed it. Have you ever measured the sound of the mill cutting these wide timbers? I note that you don’t appear to wear ear pro.

Awsome video Matt !! love them Giant maples....MATT what was the moisture content on them slabs??
