I've watched several of your videos and can't help but notice you apologize fairly often about how you cut the logs. Apparently some people don't like your method for whatever reason, be it waste or some other reason. If people watch your channel they know what you have to work with in a sawing system. They should know from the first glance of your setup the limitations you have to work with. I wouldn't apologize for working with what you have. If people don't like it then they can watch another channel. Anyway, keep doing what you're doing as the rest of us love to see what you're up to and enjoy the cathartic nature of watching you saw logs...Happy holidays and I'll keep watching.
Good morning. I'm a retired carpenter. I see some comments about wood being wasted. I'm not so sure of that. It's just wasted in a different way, but it looks like about the same amount of waste to me. The soft wood on the exterior of the log doesnt have the value of wood further in, anyway. I prefer your techniques over the band saw as well.
I used to work at a sawmill similar to your setup you have. I loved the job. I'm happy to see you give your employees time and you are patient for them to do there job safely.
I used to worked for 19 years in a furniture factory where we used cherry for 80% of our end product. We used 4/4 FAS and had to cut around the small defects at some point during the sawing phase. The log you just cut was driving me crazy with all the wain and face checking. Not rushing your guys is admirable . Safety is so important with an open blade of that size in the room. Kickbacks must be frightening when it happens there. The sawyer and crew seem to be a very good team.
My employer had a twin blade set-up. And the edger set-up was less than five feet from the saw blades. I would get covered in debris all the time when we would cut big timber. I loved the job but it became quantity or quality and safety kinda went out the window. And I felt like the job wasn't worth me getting hurt so I left and found other employment. Love watching sawmills like yours cause I have been around sawmills my whole life.
My parents bought some cherry furniture in the mid-1950s when I was 6 yrs old. It was produced in North Carolina. Watching your videos give me another perspective on the production of that furniture. Thanks for what you do.
❤ I'm 54 and loved rough cut lumber since I can remember Lived around farms all my life except the past 3 years I'm in Pittsburgh and you guys are doing God's work Beauty is on the inside thank you
Great video as always, keep them coming. That saw sawing into those logs reminds me of my childhood when i use to work in my neighbours frick sawmill. use to hear it sawing clear up the road from where i lived, i use to run up to the mill to give him a hand. loved being a kid .
This grain pattern looks just like my mom & dads first dinning room table & China cabinet. Solid cherry. It was made at a cabinet shop in the erarly 50's near McConnellsburg PA. I still have both pieces. Still looks great after all these years. Love watching your videos.
Love the cherry wood, some of those boards were very good, your variety of cuts will suit furniture makers. Thanks for the showing the milling process of the cherry log, don't see much of it out in Western Australia, I was lucky to get some boards twenty five years ago, it can be beautiful.
Well the diameter of the log is so big compared to the saw blade . You have no choice but to wittle it down to make it more manageable. You really don't waste that much wood.
New subscriber here. I have never seen how raw wood was processed into finished lumber. Especially what I would call furniture grade wood like cherry. Amazing!
That was an amazing log! I like the edger and the potential it unlocks. Going to have to try and find one soon. Great sawing those wide boards had me drooling. 😂❤
Yes in joyed the log sawmill sawing making lumber. I did what your buddy was doing,putting the wood away or lumber away. Great job showing and telling, yes my buddy that owned his mill had bad days to. Well thanks for showing buddy great sawmill you got there, keep up the good work be safe see ya next time see ya bye.
Never mind the Arm Chair Experts.... Nice job. No matter how you ended up sawing it. My cuts on my manual 30" band may not be ideal for everyone else. But rest assured,. they ended up exactly how I wanted them. And it's ALL my money, nobody else has a cent in it.
I had just the worst day in a long, long time.... didn't want to watch news or anything I normally do... just didn't have the stomach or heart for it. I finally thought I would help y'all saw that big cherry log and I'm glad I did. Thank you for easing my mind....
Unlike most I like the big log's and the stop sign cutting. First you're able to remove the sapwood and the only thing left is beautiful 😍 clean grain. Don't forget let your haters be your motivators. As always good luck and God bless.
I think that if I didn't live thousands of miles away, I would visit at least once a month and go through your scrap pile. There is something hypnotizing about watching. You might not appreciate watchers for insurance reasons, at least the ones who just show up.
Some complain about what you need to do for your job? Ignore those who just want to make trouble for others. You are doing a great job. I'm watching your videos from Hamilton, Ontario, Canada 😎🇨🇦🇺🇲🙏
Mark, it would help me as a viewer if you painted an X where the pith is, ( I know it's the middle but it shifts as you progress so I lose it..) also interested to know how wide the pith core is in relation to the full log. cheers
Wow, what a beast and nothing wrong with your work, nothing wasted.
At least, there is always a stove that needs food.
Thx for the video.
thanks , yes it makes great firewood too.

Totally agree!
This is the good stuff big ol 300 year old trees and that's just my uneducated guess very interesting
I agree with you 100%
Looks great to me
Not saying I agree or disagree with you, but that's what the comment section is for. To allow folks to air their views-good or bad.

That looked like one awesome log. I hope you get many more like it
thanks Tim , we have some monster oak to saw .

You guys do amazing work on that mill! Negative comments are just uninformed wannabes who sit on there butts and complain!
cherry is the one wood that will dull a chainsaw in a heartbeat but worth every sharpening when you see the grain
Worked on a mill in my hard, young days! This is food for your soul and sawdust is the topping!🇺🇸👍
Great videos although I wish at the end you would show the stacked finished lumber so we could see how much you got out of the tree.
Glad to have found your channel! Thoroughly enjoy watching this process! 🙂
I love stop-sign logs…. Sometimes they even look like a 12 point socket…. Just more fun to see!!!!!
My parents bought some cherry furniture in the mid-1950s when I was 6 yrs old. It was produced in North Carolina. Watching your videos give me another perspective on the production of that furniture. Thanks for what you do.
The way you are cutting a log this big seems like the only logical way to begin cuts. Very educational and enjoyable video, as usual.
thanks Ray.
❤ I'm 54 and loved rough cut lumber since I can remember
Lived around farms all my life except the past 3 years I'm in Pittsburgh and you guys are doing God's work
Beauty is on the inside thank you
There is a natural beauty to wood, plastics, steel or concrete do not even come close.
Was a pleasant video to watch, thank you.
I always enjoy your videos. I really like the way you take down those large logs to useable lumber..awesome 😊
A master class piece of machining
thanks Terrance.
I can see jewelry boxes in those cracked boards! Treasure chests! Thank you for showing us all exactly how it's done.
Great video as always, keep them coming. That saw sawing into those logs reminds me of my childhood when i use to work in my neighbours frick sawmill. use to hear it sawing clear up the road from where i lived, i use to run up to the mill to give him a hand. loved being a kid .

Nice mill

I'll buy this round Eddie. You've earned it!
thank you Dave !
You know it’s a big log when you can barely see the “master dog”😂
I can smell it here in Wisconsin. I love carving spoons, bowls etc from Cherry. Lucky man. Huge Cherry.
Excellent video, Cale. Wishing your father and all the veterans out there a happy Veterans Day, and thank you for your service. Semper Fi

You really don't waste that much wood.
thanks Jerry , it does work out ok if you take your time and think.
Who wouldn't like this, very informative.
What a nice machine. Appreciate the video; enjoyed it very much.
I have a thousand board feet of cherry waiting for me to get over my stroke.
Many thanks for another great video!
Appreciate your having the state flag of Tennessee on your mill wall.
Tom... Powell, TN

Man that cherry is nice . One of my favorites to turn . Cheers
Caterpillar redwood log. Just saying mark.
Every time you start on a BIG ONE! This TH-cam is enjoyable.
New subscriber here. I have never seen how raw wood was processed into finished lumber. Especially what I would call furniture grade wood like cherry. Amazing!
The Eddie getting a workout on this cherry log output. But handles it well. Great video
thank you , this is play to Eddie.
Mark is the man for sure, he's always in the line of fire and never even flinches
That was an amazing log! I like the edger and the potential it unlocks. Going to have to try and find one soon. Great sawing those wide boards had me drooling. 😂❤
thanks , glad you liked it.
Yes in joyed the log sawmill sawing making lumber. I did what your buddy was doing,putting the wood away or lumber away. Great job showing and telling, yes my buddy that owned his mill had bad days to. Well thanks for showing buddy great sawmill you got there, keep up the good work be safe see ya next time see ya bye.

Great job not great no, lol
Nice work on that one Mark. She put up a fight!
I wish I had some of that cherry for a cabinet build nice looking wood.
You do a great job with over sized logs.. I am learning some new things I can use on my 30 inch band mill ..😊
A lot of beautiful timber came from that log. I watch every one of your videos and this one was a rsal treat. Cheers from Australia.
The log is absolutely great looking
Nice job,great lumber cutting!WA big timber out west!
I run a swing blade and saw quite a few 38-48" logs. Really like your videos, keep up the good work.
Saved the skidder,got the tree,that's a win!! Want to see more of boss man in the woods.
Hey I love it ,don’t change
That’s a beautiful mill !
I enjoyed the sawing of that log.
nice job.well done. nice mill!
I enjoy watching your videos and to me its very intriguing to me and I never worked in a sawmill
Nice setup.
It would be some beautiful hardwood that would make wonderful furniture and flooring.
Looks great Marc!
thanks.
I like the way this guy talks to you and tells you what he is doing!
Never mind the Arm Chair Experts....
Nice job. No matter how you ended up sawing it.
My cuts on my manual 30" band may not be ideal for everyone else.
But rest assured,. they ended up exactly how I wanted them.
And it's ALL my money, nobody else has a cent in it.
Awesome job you made it look easy even with some bad spots on the log
How often do you have to change your blade???
Looks like a very beautiful log.
I had just the worst day in a long, long time.... didn't want to watch news or anything I normally do... just didn't have the stomach or heart for it. I finally thought I would help y'all saw that big cherry log and I'm glad I did. Thank you for easing my mind....
Great sawing Mark.
Bill
thanks Bill.
Great video!!
is the stop sign method just necessity, or is there some other reason to do it?
Good work. I just used the same process cutting a pine on my Belsaw. (42 inch blade ha). Love it.
Wow! that monster log produced a huge stack of good looking boards!
thanks Doug.
Unlike most I like the big log's and the stop sign cutting. First you're able to remove the sapwood and the only thing left is beautiful 😍 clean grain. Don't forget let your haters be your motivators. As always good luck and God bless.

Lovely superb Nice sawing of monster cherry log.
Muy bueno señor. Alta efectividad. Lo felicito
Who knew watching a log get cut could be so entertaining?🤔😂
I’m from Israel and I’ve been watch you for years. God bless you
I think that if I didn't live thousands of miles away, I would visit at least once a month and go through your scrap pile.
There is something hypnotizing about watching. You might not appreciate watchers for insurance reasons, at least the ones who just show up.
thanks Glen , we would like to meet you someday.
Love the sound of the Bus Motor.🏁
yes sir me too.
Love the stopsigns
Hi, I just wondered, if you have a board like at minute 24. you choose width over length, or the opposite?
I can hear it in your voice.....well done on sawing that cherry log!!
Just watched this one again, my favorite video? 4th time.
I DID NOT KNOW CHERRY TREES GOT THAT BIG!
Chewy earned his keep on that long. Nice looking cherry. Keep it up.
yes he did , a cant hook would have been tough today.
God bless you and your crew 🙏 🙌 ❤️
Nice sawmill.
love watchin your videos
I love big logs like this I love this video ❤
Great video Mark!!
thanks Dave , you need to stop out someday!
Nicely done
I enjoyed that one. You didn't waist any. I seemed like you were more careful, trying to get more lumber. But I realize too, time is money. Good job !
thanks Larry , yes this log was worth the time to saw it.
Some complain about what you need to do for your job? Ignore those who just want to make trouble for others. You are doing a great job. I'm watching your videos from Hamilton, Ontario, Canada
😎🇨🇦🇺🇲🙏
Strangely fascinating
Loved the video, the cherry looked great (at least until you got to the center…)
Love 1/4 saw videos.
we don't quarter saw on this mill just to hard.
looks real pretty
That were Tons of fun !!
thanks Alan.
One of my all time favourite woods....good to work with and beautiful in the end ...pleasure to watch

Good video Bus Motor Productions
thanks James.
Not I’d want do that for a living but sure do enjoy watching you guys do it.
Nice,Thank You !
That will make some beautiful furniture
Good job nice sawmill
Mark, it would help me as a viewer if you painted an X where the pith is, ( I know it's the middle but it shifts as you progress so I lose it..) also interested to know how wide the pith core is in relation to the full log. cheers
good idea
