  • Austin is building one of my saws and has been wanting to stop out to see mine in person. I told him to bring something interesting to cut while he's here. This log definitely qualifies as interesting.

    Welcome to the Ant Hotel, Minnesota!
    Such a lovely place. (Such a lovely place).
    Such a gnarly face - of wood
    Plenty of room at the Ant Hotel Minnesota
    After 80 years (After years)
    You can find it here
    New blade on the sawmill,
    Things are looking nice
    And he said "Just be glad it's Carpenter Ants, and not a den of mice"
    When you're with Matt Cremona,
    Things are looking well.
    They cut it with their steely Stihls,
    But things still can go to hell!
    Yeah, creative license got the better of me.
    The shadow you're casting at 25:20 looks like the Ant King has returned!

    There was a wind sheer or a microburst or a small tornado that went through Zion Illinois back in maybe 2014. Trees were downed all over the city. Lots of huge oaks. I keep thinking about many were hauled off to the dump. A guy at a mill in another Chicago suburb said they don’t use downed trees. I’ve been screaming inside ever since.

    wow MATT, WHAT A GREAT NEW PLACE YOU HAVE. The aerial shot you did with the drone was awesome. Can't wat to see how you develop your new spot. As a residential tree company for the past 40 plus years, I have given away so many beautiful logs and now look long and hard to find stuff to cut on my woodland mills saw rig. Now I'm 61 years old, 5 spine surgeries a new hip, and widow maker heart attack survivor, I really appreciate and enjoy the work and cutting that you do. Keep up the good work, and thanks again for all that you do. Your skills are really amazing. Scot , from Hollis New Hampshire

    These are incredible slabs from this Walnut. This tree has so much character. Love how you go through all the areas in the cuts. Limbs.
    Just an added idea, have the helpers wear eye gear at least, when sawing these magnificent logs. Look forward to many more videos, they are amazing.

    Hey Matt, you are one of my heroes. Said many years ago that I wanted a mill that would saw short stuff that regular mills wouldn't touch. Maybe someday I will. Getting old I don't have an off bearer, but I have a good bandsaw, need to mill some knife scales. Walnut and osage orange. Quick tip, Osage orange always checks and cracks, super glue. Leaves a black steak. Works.

  • @strat0caster63
    @strat0caster63 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I for one would love to see a table made from that log-assemblage where one slab was turned into The World’s Hugest Bow Ties, tying together those ginormous gaps. That would be all kinds of awesome. And seriously, apply for the Guinness World Record for largest bow ties! Also, I can’t imagine a more fun day than slabbing up a weird log like that. Another great video!

    A very interesting video to see how get useful cuts from a riven walnut log. With me coming from the UK, where land is very pricey and in short supply, what size property do you own and on that high long shot what is yours, just as a matter of interest. We are looking to get a woodland around 6 to 10 acres or land to establish a memorial wood, but they are like hens teeth and when you find one they want silly money. We own a JCB535-95 so able to move the tree trunks once we have them. Thank you for the time you take to put these videos together.
