37F, sunny, coffee in the belly, Matt Cremona's inspiration in the brain. Time to head out, get that fire going, and throw some sticks on the mill. Gonna be a good Sunday.
When I heard Portage County Ohio, my head perked up. I live in Portage County Ohio. Lots of big trees here. Some local knowledge, Kent, the town I live in here in Portage County, is known as “the tree city”. Also, Davey Tree has their head counters here in Kent and was also founded here. I have several acres of forest here on my property and mostly made up of black cherry trees. I’ve used a few trees to make some tables and thinks but never had much more than my chainsaw to use. Would love to have a nice like you have. Thanks for sharing the great content Matt&
Growing up in streetsboro my dad and I used to gut the giant oaks and maples at the ends of people’s driveways for firewood and slab them on our homemade mill for projects around the house. If you have something you want slabbed have you looked up redgate sawmill in shalersville?
Has he thought of an electric winch? That hand crank is wearing ME out. Maybe the variable speed or feel of the saw makes him happy. I love it either way!!
Those massive voids in that walnut log could make for some very interesting table tops. Been loving the home improvement series, but it's always great to see a new slabbing video.
That stump will make some awesome drawer fronts or boxes. I may be 6'3" but I never under estimate based on size. You gotta love the grain on that stumpy one.
Cremona in Italy was the home of some of the most famous Violin Makers of all time. From what I see, Matt's place may be the home of some of the nicest slabs around.
You could make a beverage tray in the middle of those slabs. Like a beer pot to fill with beer bottles and ice. Would be a lot of fun. Or for wine bottles.
17:15 Make a beautiful wide table 5'x10'' size with holes filled with hard resin , you can sale the table more than $10000 or more, add small pieces of same wood on narrow sides to widen to 5' and reduce the resin consumption.
Hey Matt, it's been about 2 years since I saw one of your videos, you dropped out of my feed for some reason. I see you moved house - nice looking property. It's good to be back - cheers from New Zealand.
You need to make some metal wedges that slide on the cross member’s of the saw bed. Drill a hole in one side, weld a nut in place and use a bolt with a piece of rod welded on for a tightening handle. That will hold these amazing logs in place.
I really enjoy your videos but I would like to see some from when you used your chainsaw mill. That’s what I use right now. I use a Holzfforma g660 with a 52” STIHL bar. I don’t sell the slabs or wood, I just use it in my woodworking shop too but I am nowhere near your level of woodworking. I love your end results
Interesting. I have a walnut Y very similar to that, but smaller that I'll be milling soon. Wish I had a bigger mill, though. I can only do 36", and the wide part of my log Y is over 5 feet. Hopefully I don't have any voids, though.
One of those little nubs you trim off before making the first real cut looks as if it would make a really great solid body guitar (not so much heavy metal as heavy wood - perhaps a new genera is thus born?
Hi Matt - enjoy the videos. Do you ever make "Cookies" from a stump? Grain shows the history of the tree and large slaps "Cookies' make nice coffee tables. I also notice you hand crank the saw. Could you hook the movement to a motor to turn the saw blade? Probably enjoy and feeling the saw move thru the wood? Miss the warehouse videos? Stay safe and keep on making videos.
Hi Matt. Love your videos. Enjoying the house addition. Have you ever thought of upgrading to a more automated sawmill? Cranking manually must be tough on your shoulders. Also you should wear gloves! Haha. Thanks again for the informative and entertaining videos. Dave B.
I would like to see a video explaining how the manufacturers of your sawmill seemed very big to me, something is not on the market and if it is not on the market I ask myself how you found the cutting band
Had been patiently waiting for a milling video. Did not disappoint. Awesome stuff. I've got a 48inch red maple full of big branch knots. Would love to see it on there.
Matthew, I'm using an inexpensive mix of Borax and Boric Acid powder in water to treat my slabs before drying. Are you using anything to kill insects and fungus during the drying period?
Matt do you ever cut any eucalypts. Most of the trees I have seen in the US are biggish but look immature, so would perhaps twist crack and go out of shape because of internal tension?
My dad owns some property in Maryland and we have two black walnut trees that are atleast twice that size. Waiting on people who rent the old 1800 house to move out one day and those trees will be down and milled up.
Do you have any craftsmen who make gun stocƙs using your fancy wood? Have you ever talked with Henry Arms? I got my wife a 30-30 golden boy and it has the most beautiful curly maple stock. They take pains to make the stock and forearm from the same piece of wood so the grain matches.
Wooden boat builders look for crotch grown boards too. Have you ever sold to boat builders?? Just watched video from @tipsfromashipwright used one for breasthook!!
37F, sunny, coffee in the belly, Matt Cremona's inspiration in the brain. Time to head out, get that fire going, and throw some sticks on the mill. Gonna be a good Sunday.
I sometimes think I might be a little simple-minded, I never lose the fascination of seeing what the next cut will look like.
I really enjoy watching these slabs being cut. Those few with the voids have so much creative thinking potential in the right hands.
Between Matt here and Jake @ Guilty of Treeson I can watch them cut wood all day!
Thank you so much. The video, as always, is full of knowledge that is passed on to many..
Regards are sent from Yorkshire.

Love to see what is made out of those slabs. Thank you for taking time out of your build which is great to watch.

Yeah would love to see these planed and all dressed up. Looks beautiful!
I really liked those thick walnut slab they would make a great cutting board. Thanks Matthew.
A tisket, a tasket Matt in a yellow basket ... we all want a telehandler to build our buildings.
So nice to see a quality downed tree go to good use, thank you for repurposing the tree for furniture rather than fire wood.
Has he thought of an electric winch? That hand crank is wearing ME out. Maybe the variable speed or feel of the saw makes him happy. I love it either way!!
Super happy
That’s some beautiful wood slabs. Thanks for sharing Matt. God Bless.
Slabbing a tree is indeed just like a box of chocolates and truly, you never know what you are going to get.
Those massive voids in that walnut log could make for some very interesting table tops. Been loving the home improvement series, but it's always great to see a new slabbing video.
If it were mine, I would use some epoxy with some fiberoptic lights in the void to accent it.
Yes. Lake tables could become the new river table.

I can see some beautiful dining table tops and a few occasional tables from those smaller bullseye pieces.
Really beautiful walnut slabs. Lovely for some future Projects.

Those boards are so awesome love the way you cut them
Good job, you have accomplished a great deal since I watched some of your early videos.
Absolutely missed these slabbing videos! Felt like an important part of my life was missing
Nature is amazing, I love these videos of seeing what the inside of the trees looks like
There are some really cool trees down in the lower 48’s!
Cremona in Italy was the home of some of the most famous Violin Makers of all time.

Well, your famous positivity certainly knows no bounds, that's all I can say....😄😄
Those voids have such potential for river or "lake / pond" tables.
You need to make some metal wedges that slide on the cross member’s of the saw bed. Drill a hole in one side, weld a nut in place and use a bolt with a piece of rod welded on for a tightening handle. That will hold these amazing logs in place.
Pretty cool. I live in summit county close to portage county line. And that is a beautiful log for sure.

Door fronts on those small ones such a fun tree
Always a surprise when you cut into a loge some are truly beautiful
That would make an amazing epoxy table!
Would love to get one of those big slabs
That wood was beautiful … nice to see two year old dry cuts as well… great content keep it up cheers from Deep River Ontario Canada 🇨🇦
Enjoying this walnut From Kincardine, ontario
I prefer the green. I wonder if you could sand and seal one side quickly to preserve it.
Those would make great river tables with browns & reds or dark blues with metal flake !
The wood is so beautiful
Awesome stuff Matt! 😃👍🏻👊🏻
Hey Matt, even though I have enjoyed the remodel, we are back to the trees..yea!
this is so oddly satisfying to watch!
Interesting. I have a walnut Y very similar to that, but smaller that I'll be milling soon. Wish I had a bigger mill, though. I can only do 36", and the wide part of my log Y is over 5 feet. Hopefully I don't have any voids, though.
Wow! I t turned out to be a massive void! So many beautiful slabs!
Wonder if it started growing with a low codominant sort of thing and then autografted back together into a single trunk later?
Wondering the same thing.

Love your Positive nature !!
Cool Dude
voids would make a nice place to put a sink. great custom counter for high-end bathroom
Hi Matt. Love your videos. Enjoying the house addition. Have you ever thought of upgrading to a more automated sawmill? Cranking manually must be tough on your shoulders. Also you should wear gloves! Haha. Thanks again for the informative and entertaining videos. Dave B.
I could really really use the JCB telehandler !
When can I come pick it up?
How do you keep those Knots from Checking and Shrinking during the drying process?
The void would make a great stone coat epoxy project maybe even led lites embedded
I appreciate your metrics very much!
What prompted you?
Would it be so difficult to motorize that crank?
If anyone hasn't seen blacktail studios TH-cam channel. You should check it out. He makes awesome tables from slab lumber. Great job Matt.👍👍✌️😁
I would like to see a video explaining how the manufacturers of your sawmill seemed very big to me, something is not on the market and if it is not on the market I ask myself how you found the cutting band

I've got a 48inch red maple full of big branch knots. Would love to see it on there.
Matthew, I'm using an inexpensive mix of Borax and Boric Acid powder in water to treat my slabs before drying. Are you using anything to kill insects and fungus during the drying period?
Is there a noise isolated used? I mean it's amazing how you both standing in the wild and it sounds like you are on a studio or a podcast 😅👌🏼
Mics with windscreens :)
I've enjoyed many of your videos, and wondered more than once, have you ever thought of bagging your sawdust? That has a value in some markets.
Did you make saw would be neat to see some pics of it
Always fun.
Always interesting
Great vids, why have you not fitted a motor and speed control it beats the hell out of hand winding.
Those holes will look great filled with resin!
these slabs are worth a lot of money
Walnut is a dense wood very beautiful wood
When are you going to motorize that big boy saw? Take some of those small slabs and put them into the void hole...
Matt do you ever cut any eucalypts. Most of the trees I have seen in the US are biggish but look immature, so would perhaps twist crack and go out of shape because of internal tension?
Definitely going to crack and twist. Railroad planted them all over Southern California to use for railroad ties and they wouldn’t work.
Matt, do you know anyone that buys Black Walnut in Connecticut? I just want the tree down. 35 ft tall, mostly straight.
How much does a slab like your cuts go for? Do you cut oak?
So, were you able to build your mill for less than you would have spent on an equivalent Wood Miser?
Why pour water over the already sawn part?
My dad owns some property in Maryland and we have two black walnut trees that are atleast twice that size. Waiting on people who rent the old 1800 house to move out one day and those trees will be down and milled up.
What is something like that worth? Does the whole reduce the price ?
Matt where do you get your carbide tipped blades from? Thanks
Where are you located and do you buy large logs
why wet it down after the cut?
You have biggest tree grain vocab!! Professor Cremona
What do you do with it ??
How much a per linear foot would that cost
That slab @ 9:13 is gorgeous with all the sapwood around the bullseye of heartwood.
Nice set up. What part of ohio ya in
Do you have any craftsmen who make gun stocƙs using your fancy wood? Have you ever talked with Henry Arms? I got my wife a 30-30 golden boy and it has the most beautiful curly maple stock. They take pains to make the stock and forearm from the same piece of wood so the grain matches.
Put a bbq grill in the middle 👍
Beautiful grain in that wood
I would like to options to buy a slab
"Cremona's got the buckets, but we got the hose"
Matt how come you don't run a garden hose to that area instead of throwing buckets of water at the wood?
buckets are more fun
@@mcremona True!
Very nice!
How much do you charge to cut large walnuts like Jeff brought from Ohio?
Do you ever sharpen your blades. I've watched you before and never do they seem to be sharpened.
I just replace them
Perfect for an epoxy table, that's what is desirable, the hole in the middle. When dry, worth thousands.
Did you buy that boom forklift or is it a rental for your house renovation? This looks like it was last fall.
I bought it. This was in October
Wooden boat builders look for crotch grown boards too. Have you ever sold to boat builders?? Just watched video from @tipsfromashipwright used one for breasthook!!
Aw nothing a patch with some walnut dow pins wouldn’t fill in for a artistic look
How much do you charge to cut up wood?
we need smell on the interwebs for these movies
What are the cuts, 1-2 inches?? //Lars
3”
I don't know what it is, but I sure do like your videos. sawdustbob
I had a big walnut with a cinder block in the middle, must of grown through it then engulfed it. Absolutely no sign of it on the bark.
