Hi Matt, Thank you so much for sharing the sawing of 'Jeffs' huge Ohio Walnut tree. Fascinating too watch and did it bring back memories to me!
My maternal grandfather owned a portable saw mill back in the 1920's and 30's. The picture I have shows one of those old stem engines or oil pull. type giant tractors of the day pulling an even bigger saw. I was born in '39 and he passed in '47 so I didn't get to see any of that but I did get a number of his hand tools which I cherish as well as a few small pieces of walnut, cherry, and maple which I've used in making some urns for a few of my close relatives. Coming from southern Illinois he homesteaded in northern Alberta, Athabaska specifically, in 1911 wherein after arriving there in the late spring he built a log home for the family to ward off the following winter. I never heard what help he had but must have been pretty busy to get it done in those few short months, and must have done OK as they survived there for about 8 years before moving back south to warmer climes.Thanks also for showing the indications of stress markings at the base of those big branches in the heart wood. One can only imagine the wind blown and weight bending motion translating into the main trunk from a limb of that size. Yes wood is not only amazing for it's strength and versatility, but truly beautiful to boot. Jim Martin in the Madison WI area.
Matthew, I could cut, work and be around different woods all the days of my life. They are so beautiful and then to create a finished product is amazing. It all starts with you and I appreciate what you are allowing us to see. Thank you.
The thing I like about this channel, besides Matt's work ethic. Is that he is taking yard trees which no one used to touch. And showing that there is a quality and value to them!
Matthew, when you mentioned that the wire was steel with a copper jacket it made me wonder if it might be an old telephone or telegraph wire. What was commonly called " open wire". Back in the old days, they used only one wire and quite often used existing trees instead of placing a pole. The return circuit was simply a ground rod driven in the ground.
Your neighbors must love you.
Thanks for that quick response there Matt.
I guess it wouldn't take very long at all to pay for the machinery needed to do this.
Food for thought ...
Matt you are a good man to mill logs for others may god bless you thanks
Thanks for sharing it was nice to see what that wood was going to look like when you throw the water on it
Fireman 🔥🔥🔥
Matt, how special it must be for you to be able to mill all these incredible logs for people. This walnut is absolutely amazing!
I do love it quite a lot :)
Beautiful walnut slabs & mountain figure ends.
I thought it was wood farie homes in the end. Very pretty. Matt do you have a store to buy wood from?
Today I'll be marking walnut trees to be harvested.
The lot is 22 acres and has two streams running through it.
Most of the marketable timber is some nice 2' dbh walnut.
We seldom see the really big walnuts like this one you sliced.
Walnut it the best paying timber these days.
Gooood morning from central Florida! Hope everyone has a great day!
Wood is natures artistry. The patterns are never duplicated.
Of course, Beauty is in the eye of the beerholder.
Thanks for sharing.
Matt, I am completely blown away with your reading of the tree and it's growth patterns. I am learning a lot but you offer so much information. Thanks for this information. Keep up the great work.
awesome to hear; thanks Phil!

Wow, what a big, beautiful, piece of walnut. Thanks for sharing with us Matt.
Great job Matt, you milled some fantastic slab and the other round he left for you !! WOW ! Thanks for sharing with us, Fred. 👍👍👏🏻👏🏻
Finished with studies for today, now watching a log getting slabed. Sounds good :)
As a 97 year old frustrated wood worker I really love your videos, what I don't understand is your weird chuckles after you say something.
Some beautiful wood, and it says a lot about Jeff who was willing to drive over 800 miles to get this wood slabbed up and share the experience on video.
Thanks Stan. It was kind of a no brainer, -since it was Matt Cremona of all people, doing the cutting and evaluations. The pictures might not do these slabs full justice, but Matts reactions and comments are priceless!! - He IS The Man! - Jeff
Wow, what an awesome log ! Absolutely beautiful !!!
OMG that walnut must have made your year. That is the nices piece of wood I have seen.
Quite the journey to get the millwork! All roads lead to the Cremona Sawmill. ✌
8:50 As an avid fan of Acorn To Arabella, immediately recognized perfectly shaped knee pieces.
Funny you say that, I was thinking the same thing.
@@carlwhite8225 lol same here i didnt know there were several people here watchingthose guys too.
Holy megacrotch
Fantastic. Nice you have large enough saw to be able to cut those large logs. Beautiful slabs.
They used to use copper coated steel wire for telephone lines in rural Southwestern New York. Back in the days when you would see telephone poles with 6 or 8 sets of lines on them and everyone still was on a party line.
Yes, Matt. It's a big log. Got it!
Well done! The wood is fabulous. Have fun working it
Brilliant video... regards are sent from Yorkshire... God bless you & yours...
The part where Matt sounds so disappointed by all the clear wood. 😂
Now that is one heck of nice video. Love the size of the log, especially when he does the wings span. Keep up the good work.
That log is a Beauty and a Beast.
Matt, your content would compete with the best of Prime video. Your knowledge of wood and your analysis are inspiring. Your love of wood, and tree history, along with your "Chippy" (no pun intended) attitude, give these videos far better quality that most content that I pay for. Thank you.
Enjoying catching up on some "back issues" whilst your not uploading. Hope all is well.
I have a stack of logs that I need slabbed, but nobody in SWO will do them without charging me enough to buy a darned sawmill! I don't have anything fancy, but it's all from my land, which makes it special.
The wood working community is great
I like walnut
I love working with wood and your videos are so relaxing. That's a beautiful walnut!
Great video. Such beautiful wood. Well done Mat
I would love to see a time lapse of the walnut oxidizing from green to brown.
I second that idea 💡
Me three 😉
Me4 would look so cool gr8 idea "4" sure!😅
Thanks for sharing that boule. Lots of very unique figure. I would love to see the finished projects turned out using this lumber. Someone could do a series showing how they planned breaking down each fletch , then planning a project and execution through to the finished piece. Awesome Matt !!!
That wood is just stunning
Thank you for taking what otherwise would have gone to the landfill or become firewood and saving it for creative use. Love seeing the growth patterns especially the compression wood area. Please protect your hearing.
Can not imagine the cost of one of these slabs, beautiful
As always, well done and thanks
This was fascinating! Thanks for posting!
Had an entire black walnut tree from Missouri very similar to that slabbed up into 2.5” slabs for making custom gun stocks. Still have it all stacked up in the barn. Was thinking of making some cool cabin tables and benches.
would you be selling any of it ??
Just amazing... I hope we see some finished tables from this tree..
Love watching things like this
Mat nice slabs oh so pretty. Thanks for sharing God bless you and the family.
Great video of an amazing log. There's some beautiful lumber in that tree!
Awesome tree! As usual you didn't disappoint Matt.
Great Saw cutting... enjoyed your expertise
Amazing log and slabs.
That slab at ~16:00 is wonderful.
Beautiful wood! Great work!
GREAT Matt - Thanks for sharing !!
Old video but man what beautiful wood
Nice job you do great work
Absolutely gorgeous stuff!
Stunning wood.
Such gorgeous grain the way walnut produces
Matt, I have missed your videos. I would rather watch new videos other than the ones I have watched before.
Reading a tree and reading a creek are quite similar processes. Good to see you take the water off the wood. I haven't had a hair cut since 2016. Looks good.
Walnut is already wonderfull wood, but
this walnut seems it came from another world...
yea they did like ww1 era
The iron stain can be converted from an iron tannin colour to a clear (non-stained) iron oxalate compound by swabbing on a 3% oxalic acid solution.
very cool thanks for sharing the video
I just love that figure! I'm a violinist by training and that one of my favorite things to see in the backs of great instruments. Of course it's not walnut that is used but the effect in the maple used is similar..
My parents are from Southern Kansas. Almost Missouri. I remember going to visit relatives and seeing trees with branches larger than most trees in Colorado.
This is the first of your videos that I've watched. That was three days ago. Since then I have seen several. I'm impressed that you have a lot of knowledge and skills for a fairly young man. I'm 77, from Duluth, and have been in the woods a great deal (So hello from NE Minnesota. lol.), so I know a bit about what you are doing. I see just above that you've posted a link to "How I built my sawmill". That will be the next one I watch. I've seen a few other videos of guys using the brand mill that yours resembles. I think your home-made mill has several features that are superior to the commercial rig. I also saw that you recently moved to a rural site with a lot more room. I look forward to watching the rest of your vids, and those to be made in the future.
Beautiful stuff.
Great video thanks love Walnut
Oh Jeff...so wish you lived near eastern PA...beautiful walnut and would definitely hit you up for some slabs if you were closer. Good luck with your tables!
It looks like it’s different sizes, this is beautiful,
Beautiful wood Matt.
Thanks Matt
The way to get kids to smile, is get them to make a funny/goofy face or pose. This relaxes them and puts them in a fun mood. Then you get them to do a smiley face and you will have great pics. You also end up with some great goofy face pics.
As Elvis would say, "That's one hunka hunka walnut!" ⭐️😊👍
Wow! 77 inches! I may have to build one some day!
That is some pretty wood!!👍
Nice thing about that wire being nearly vertical - it might dull your blade, but it doesn't wreck the set asymmetrically. The blade does not begin to dive or plane.
A very cool cut Matt, thx dude. What tables will be in this woods future, spectacular
Great work,great video.👍
it was a fun to watch!
You need a shirt that says "Will work for slabs".
In the mining industry in Australia 1 slab of beer is called 1 unit of NW currency
That is fascinating to watch!!
That's a great looking log. Ohio is my home state!
Gorgeous!
My dad up in Michigan uses walnut wood a lot. Free lumber from relatives’ property
Beautiful!
Turn that compression figured part from 28:00 into a platter!
Every slab looks like a $5000 table.👍
beautiful wood
The most superb timber
At approx 17 minutes you called the figuring "Curley". Those are medullary rays for sure. beautiful walnut!
I hit the like button already, only 1 minute in lol, and there’s an even bigger walnut I hear, wow!
This tree must have been hundreds of years old as slow as walnut grows. Nice video.
yea a lot of these trees are near the end of life
Wow!....ok you got a bad ass operation
I like this one the best Matt
