Great job Matt, these technical topics can be really confusing, but your explanations are super clear and easy to understand. I've never seen demonstrate cutting up a log to get quarter sawn boards, I'll definitely be referencing this video when I need to cut some logs up.
You make learning so much fun, Matt! I love these kinds of videos, too. All of your explainers are jam-packed with info, but never dry or overwhelming.
I've been looking into cutting my own lumber. I found your info extremely useful. Thanks ever so much. Now every time I cut up a log I will say thanks to Matt.
Thanks Matt. First time I have had a clear idea of the grain patterns. Have you done an episode where you discuss which grain patterns are best for which which features of a project? Also, congrats on the new addition to the family.
@@mcremona I think that is a better way to go. One thing I really like about the stand ons is that they are easier on my back and I really like the great visibility with kids around. success showing your video today.
Matt, Truly enjoyed your video. I'd like to see more on this topic; i.e., learning how to select rough cut boards at the lumber yard to satisfy one's needs to build furniture. Flatsawn, riftsawn, quartersawn cut boards, and how to use them to build visually appealing furniture pieces. For example, how about you selecting boards to build a table or desk, and then actually rough cutting, jointing, planing, and final table saw cutting the boards for each of the furniture piece's parts. This is a part of woodworking that is rarely explained. I enjoy your videos tremendously.
Another fascinating video matt. I love the whole beginning to end journey you adopt in your videos. I'm looking forward to seeing that maple turn up in a project in a couple of years. Also hope the bump is all good. Thanks again for all the time you put into giving us such useful info.
Excellent video Matt! I was going to suggest this as a topic for your series, but I guess others already have, great topic for an Ask Matt. The different cuts seem confusng to determine until you look at it, then it seems simple, and you explained it well.
Extremely informative and very well presented. I've always wondered about the various cuts and now it is clear to me. Thanks for an excellent video presentation !
Great information! I've never really taken grain pattern into consideration, largely because I have never milled my own lumber. This is definitely something I'd like to get into because I'm beginning to dabble in furniture building using fine wood and iron. Grain selection will give me even more customization opportunities! Thanks for putting together such a well though out video, I'll definitely be watching it again. Cheers!
Great video Mat! I have been asked about that very thing a few times but was unable to enplane it in a manner that made seance to others, now I can just refer them to this video. lol
Great video, am saving this video as future reference since tomorrow am getting a 14” bandsaw, the one thing I won’t be doing is placing my crack on the board or near the blade. Very instructional
Matthew, great video. One thing you left out with the quarter sawn sticks was to lie them together to show the grain pattern and that although the stock is small it's still very usable when glued into panels. It's great that you point out that rift sawn sticks are good for legs. Also, spindles for turners. Rift sawn lumber is also good for winding sticks, beams for marking gauges etc. Where as quarter sawn is good for panels like table tops, making wooden planes. Now that I'm thinking more about it. This could be a part two episode: to provide a lecture on what types of lumber are best for different purposes. Thanks.
I love your videos! I always look forward to them. Would you consider doing a video on common wood species identification? Or even tree identification? I use a lot of reclaimed wood in my projects and having that info would be really helpful.
I kind of knew this stuff from time to time. But it never sticks with me since I don't deal with having to identify it that often. But because if how you explained it, I think it will stick with me longer now. Well done.
Great information. And timely! I've a Madrone tree that fell down a while back and I want to saw it up and use it and this is going to really help me to maximize my yield and get useable material. Thanks!
I’ll definitely have to watch this a few more times to understand all of it but, with no previous knowledge you made it fairly easy to understand for someone just starting out. How long have you been learning this and where did you begin?
Hi Matt, thank you for this video, very informative! Something that really impresses me about your content is the level of knowledge you are able to share not only on the creation process of a piece in your woodworking, but also on tree analysis, identification, and the milling that happens before creating a piece. Are there any sources that you highly recommend for study on these things? Did you receive any formal education in the biology of trees outside of your bio major, or is most of it built from your background as a bio major early on in your college years? Thank you so much for sharing such amazing work with everyone!
Matt I think you just saved me from making a regrettable set of cuts in some very old 3x3 heart pine tobacco drying beams. They're slated for table legs. Now i will select the diagonal grain pieces rather than randomly selecting. I get it now.. the resulting pattern on all 4 sides matching.. awesome. 3 years with this mill flying without any instruction (I avoid it.. I would rather do me, and not just be a copy of someone else) and Im lucky enough to find your honest reporting of info and tips amongst all the "look at me Im great" versions out there. You need some of my pawlonia for your demos.. its much kinder to the equipment! Tell me what size and what cut you want and i'll ship you a hunk!
Nice informative video Matt! Thanks for your time! I seen an earlier suggestion for a video that I would like to second. Identifying different "common" species of woodworking lumber. Just an idea.
It's great that you showed everyone how the log is quartersawn by actually sawing it up! Well done man!
WoodworkingManiak Well yeah, it's way more interesting if I actually do it ;)
Video was right to the point. Presented in a clear, concise and graphical manner. Best one I’ve seen on the topic.
It's not "a fun thing to know". It's fundamental. Thank you very much. I've been looking for such a lecture for a while now!
Great job Matt, these technical topics can be really confusing, but your explanations are super clear and easy to understand. I've never seen demonstrate cutting up a log to get quarter sawn boards, I'll definitely be referencing this video when I need to cut some logs up.
Zac Higgins Thank you Zac! I'm glad it was easy to follow and understand :)
Matt, I thoroughly enjoy all your videos and hope you keep producing them for a long time. This has to be one of your most informative.
Tom Denny Thank you Tom! I'm glad this one was so informative!
You make learning so much fun, Matt! I love these kinds of videos, too. All of your explainers are jam-packed with info, but never dry or overwhelming.
Thank you so much!
I've been looking into cutting my own lumber. I found your info extremely useful. Thanks ever so much. Now every time I cut up a log I will say thanks to Matt.
haha! I can't wait to be thanked :)
I meant like a silent prayer, Buddy. Hope you are not expecting phone calls ;).
Silent phone calls

Most informative channel on youtube for new woodworkers. thank you
Awesome to hear! Thanks!
Thanks Matt. First time I have had a clear idea of the grain patterns. Have you done an episode where you discuss which grain patterns are best for which which features of a project? Also, congrats on the new addition to the family.
Very nice. One of those things that you can know about the wood but not really think about the process to achieve.
thanks!
Easily one of the best educational woodworking channels on the net
Phil Sarullo Thank you so much, Phil!
This was incredibly helpful, Thanks Matt!
you are a great teacher and your enthusiasm is evident. keep up the good work.
Scott Haun Thank you Scott!
Always love your videos. So informative. Showing my woodshop class this video tomorrow. We mill on a wood mizer and build from what we mill. Thank you
Awesome! Thanks for the videos on the mini skids. I'm likely going to be getting one.
@@mcremona go big, I think the CTX 50 is just a little too small
I’m looking at a used s800. I think it’ll give me a good amount of versatility in a still pretty small package
@@mcremona I think that is a better way to go. One thing I really like about the stand ons is that they are easier on my back and I really like the great visibility with kids around. success showing your video today.

12pabloman Thank you! I'm sure it will turn into something. If anything it's more cutting board stock. The bump is great! getting really close!
Thank you very much, Matthew!
I am grateful that you treated this subject in depth.
umbalaba Thank you!!!
Best explanation on this subject that I've ever seen, Matt! I finally and completely understand the differences. Thanks!
Steve Collins Thank you so much, Steve!
Great video as usual Matt. A lot of interesting information and now I actually know what to look for when picking out lumber.
Joe White Thank you, Joe! I'm glad it was helpful!
Mat you are still one off the best.
Excellent video Matt! I was going to suggest this as a topic for your series, but I guess others already have, great topic for an Ask Matt. The different cuts seem confusng to determine until you look at it, then it seems simple, and you explained it well.
Matt Williams Thank you Matt! I had two viewers suggest it last week. It was a fun topic for me :)
Nice job showing how the cuts affect grain orientation. I've seen the diagrams, but showing the pattern as you cut it is particularly effective.
Barry's Workshop Thank you Barry!
Great video - very clear and easy to understand explanation. I'm looking forward to exploring more of your videos.
Richard Beebe Thank you Richard!
Thanks for this great video. Very educational and good information all woodworkers should be familiar with.
Extremely informative and very well presented. I've always wondered about the various cuts and now it is clear to me. Thanks for an excellent video presentation !
Michael Trent Thank you Mike! I'm glad you found it helpful!
This was an awesome video!! It's like the stuff that you didn't even know that you needed to know. :)
Thanks Matt, you're a rockstar!!!
Thanks Matt! This has been the easiest understanding of sawn lumber.
Thanks Matt!

Konrad Mohring Thank you Konrad!!! So glad it was helpful!
I'm always learning something watching your videos!
Lane Bros WoodShop awesome!!
Just found your channel and you are definitely subscribe worthy! Your shop is clean and you have a good speaking personality. I'll keep watching
hopefully the cleanliness of my shop isn't a continuing factor of your subscription status :)
Very clear description. Thanks for posting it. Lots of nice looking slabs in your intro shot, too. Maybe could do videos on kiln drying & surfacing.
Good info and appreciate the demo to make it clear. Nice work.
Again... very interesting. Thanks for showing us the process.
Stone and Sons Workshop Thank you!
Always good stuff from you, Matt.
Steve French Thank you, Steve!
Great explanation, thanks Matt!

Rich McNatt Thanks Rich!!
I love your videos Matt, this is great. I've had questions about this, and many other topics you touch on on other videos, for a long time. Thank you
***** Thank you Jorge!!
Absolutely found this interesting and useful. I've never really understood the different terms flat sawn, riff sawn, quarter sawn...now I know!!
Thank you for this! Very helpful explanation for my NCIDQ exam.
Great video, am saving this video as future reference since tomorrow am getting a 14” bandsaw, the one thing I won’t be doing is placing my crack on the board or near the blade. Very instructional
Very informative demonstration. Much better than looking at two dimensional drawing. What blade do you run on your band saw?
Jim Holladay Thank you Jim! It's a 1/2" Lenox Tri-Master
Excellent tutorial. The best explanation I have seen. Thanks!
+john cooper thanks John!
Really nice explanation of it all, great video as usual!!

Jeff Wahlig Thank you Jeff! I can do a video on both those topics. I'll add them to the queue. Thanks for the suggestions!
I'm new to the lumber industry. This video really helped me.
+DJ Avalo Great to hear. Thanks!
Thanks Matt, very helpful. For some reason, I struggle trying to remember this stuff. Your demo made it easier for me too get it. I hope.
Belikeiam Ivers Thank you! Hopefully it sticks for you :)
I kind of knew this stuff from time to time. But it never sticks with me since I don't deal with having to identify it that often. But because if how you explained it, I think it will stick with me longer now. Well done.
diycentral Hopefully it stays stuck in there :) Thanks!!
thanks a very informative video I will save and cross reference. it is one of the best on TH-cam explaining how to cut lumber.
simon aldridge Thank you Simon!
Very informative video, thanks for sharing it with us! Awesome!
Scrap wood City Thank you!

Really enjoyed that - thanks! Probably won't be slabbing logs anytime soon, but good to know when buying lumber.
synapseZA Thanks for the suggestion. It's a great topic. Good stuff to know!
Thanks Matt great information. I appreciate all that you share with us!
Thanks!
Very informative Matthew Cremona Thanks.

Hi Matt:
Aswith each and every of your videos, I'm learning a lot.
At last I undertand this, now I´ll be able tu buy wood with more confidence.
Ferlopag That's excellent! Thank you!
Thanks Matt. You made that easy to understand.
Awesome to hear. Thanks Andrew!

Thanks Matt - really interesting and informative!
Brian Mills Thank you Brian!
Very educational! Thanks Matt!
I would love to see the life of a piece of lumber (i.e. log to jewelry box).
Jeremy Makes Stuff Thank you! Might as well go a step further and go tree to jewelry box ;)
Great video Matt, looks like you can ditch the large sawmill and just use you shop bandsaw to mill lumber from now on, 😂
Great video, Matt! Thanks!
KSFWG Thank you!
Hey Mat, that was great info. Thanks for the info on the transtint also. I'll let you know how that turns out: ) keep up the breat work!

Very informational. Thanks!
Thank you!
Excellent presentation Matt. I just wish the log was as easy to flip and turn on the mill, as it is in your shop.
Thank you! Yes, I wish that as well :)
