Wow, love the custom logo sticker on the back of that lift! I'm thinking just the scraps from your milling would heat the home for a few years. Umh, seems that belt is crying out for help. Been watching you for years and I don't recall hearing such belt squeal before. Have you been practicing? Your single toss full coverage water throws are getting so much better.
This walnut log certainly ranks high of the goofiness scale. It never gets old seeing the fabulous figure and grain patterns that such a log produces when slabbed up.
For a Walnut log that you were not sure because of the funky shape to it Matt, it sure made for some really nice slabs. I love the one figure was I think 32" long. Beautiful wood.
Gm Matt, wonderful walnut! A delight to watch. Wood is an awesome part of Nature and has had a pivotal role in development of human civilization. Very informative video. Please be careful moving those heavy slabs. All the best to you and family.
Walnut is absolutely high on my list of favorites! This log was a starting challenge for sure but turned out great. I've watched a lot of your videos and enjoy seeing them but always wonder, why not just use the hose to shoot water on the slabs instead of a bucket?
I’m impressed! At 9:20 you’re pumping your lubricant sprayer & cranking the mill wench. I bet you can rub your belly & pat your head at the same time too 😂
What a coincidence. I just finished a small play table project for my daughters' room and what did i find embedded in one of the cherry boards while running it thru my planer? An 1/8" lead birdshot pellet! I found a total of 4 in the same board which is now still in the tabletop. Maybe someday one of my girls will become a forensic expert and figure out what gun they came from. In the meantime, there will be plenty of coloring and homework to attend to. 😉
I totally agree with the chainsaw marks, I totally think you did the best you could with what the tree was and how it felled. Awesome clip this one was man, I really am thankful for you and all you do man😊👍Keep up the amazement!🤘😝😊👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Glad to see another weird piece of wood on the sawmill. Question...are you going to move your sawmill closer to he barn or are you going to build a sawmill shed? 😊
Great stuff. Love your channel. I'm a hobbiest woodworker but honestly don't have a great understanding of the anatomy of trees. Exactly how does grain develop? What causes the different kinds of figure we get to see in videos like this? Do you have any book/UA-cam/resource recommendations that might help me better understand these details and take my projects to a higher level? Thanks much!
Hi Matt, I have a question on the CA glue. I noticed you were using it on all unfinished wood. Is there any reason to NOT use this on finished woodwork?? I recently ended up with 2 large pieces of Ethan Allen furniture and I snapped of "BOTH center styles from the doors in the lower cabinets. They both popped off like snapping a twig, so I know the glue they used was crap. These are pieces that would be really difficult to clamp up, so CA was first on my mind.. What do you think??
Don't know why the rest of the world can't see the beauty of every cut you made there's too many snobs out there our ancestors used everything I'm not that far from you probably 5 hours I'd love to see what you do in person👍
See when I’m sawing the big slabs Matt I just bang in a standard felling wedge. Middle of the board on the forklift side it will lift the board just enough to sneak the toe of the fork in.
Had to come looking for this vid. Your vid title did something to the algorithm lol. “Why’d they send the little guy” sent me 😂. And can we get a compilation of you attaching (sp edit) magnets to things? Maybe as a short? 🍿
"need more ass", as a fellow small guy moving big stuff I relate. Pulling on a peevey , bouncing my weight trying to roll a lumpy log , a little more ass would help.
Two questions in multiple parts. Who was helping you as camera op? Lindsay? Second I just had a silver maple cut down that had grown twisted around a long dead locust which the Maple had tried to grow around but was down into the pith. The twist section looks like it has tons of compression going on. What the best way for me to preserve it until I have it sawn & do you know anyone in Cleveland who could cut a wacky twisted log?
@@bradthomashill nice work, I noticed more dynamic shots than we usually see in Matt's videos (no hate just an observation) & wanted to compliment your work. It doesn't go unnoticed.
If ANYONE can cut the diamonds (and other gems) it's Matt! Run into this heartbreaking scenario all the time, unfortunately....we have to remember to be thankful, whenever someone _doesn't_ butcher the wood!!🤣😜🙏🙏🙏🙏
Matt, I have to let you know that I pulled a "Cremona" in my wood shop today. While trying to move something too heavy for my ability, I said, "Need more ass!" :)
10:14: “need more a**” - matt cremona 😂
It's definitely one of the most interesting logs I've seen you cut. Great decision on orienting it to get better yield.

Like a wood nerd’s version of an unboxing video. ❤
All those chainsaw marks are perfect for distressed furniture 😂
11:25 nice "Matt's Info" box. I like that
25:30 "good job slab" lol
This walnut log certainly ranks high of the goofiness scale. It never gets old seeing the fabulous figure and grain patterns that such a log produces when slabbed up.
Great-looking black walnut! You did a masterful job in positioning the log for sawing.
Beautiful wood great job Mat !!👍👌🙏✝️
Wow, that walnut looks amazing. Would love to see some finished projects that come from it. I’m sure the finished projects will be even more amazing
Will we ever get to see any of these slabs converted into finished furniture?
For a Walnut log that you were not sure because of the funky shape to it Matt, it sure made for some really nice slabs. I love the one figure was I think 32" long. Beautiful wood.
Beautiful walnut slabs, thanks for sharing Matt. Finally getting rain instead of snow, looking forward to spring and more great content.
Gm Matt, wonderful walnut! A delight to watch. Wood is an awesome part of Nature and has had a pivotal role in development of human civilization. Very informative video. Please be careful moving those heavy slabs. All the best to you and family.
Excellent video angles Matt👌, and operating a drone and sawmill no end to your talents? 😂 Really enjoyed watching 👍
That is some beautiful slabs. I think the log behind this one is going to be be incredible as welll.
I used to watch golf on occasion, now I watch walnut slabs coming to life. Either way it's like watching grass grow!
Sweet looking slabs! And good water throwing! 😎
Those are some crazy slabs!!! Great to see the sawmill. Nice water technique! :-)
Matt, Vundaba walnut! Thanks for sharing.
hat is just some beautiful Walnut Matt. Thank You for sharing !
Love the walnut and love that saw!
Walnut is absolutely high on my list of favorites! This log was a starting challenge for sure but turned out great. I've watched a lot of your videos and enjoy seeing them but always wonder, why not just use the hose to shoot water on the slabs instead of a bucket?
Absolutely positively beautiful wood that you cut. You have many skills that deals in wood and i'm quite impressed! Thank you for sharing.
Those slabs are incredible!
I'd love to see the end result! Beautiful wood.
I am very pleased to see you have good equipment to work with.
I’m impressed! At 9:20 you’re pumping your lubricant sprayer & cranking the mill wench. I bet you can rub your belly & pat your head at the same time too 😂
Great video 👍
Logzilla turned out to be some beautiful slabs

Outstanding Matt, thank you
Beautiful wood, love to see it made into something useful… 😊😊😊
great job on Sawyering the Log. cool video
Man, I'd love those first cuts! I do small stuff and they would work great for me.
I wish I could get hold of slabs like that in the UK
Beautiful color n grain!
Very nice and awesome character
WOW they are Amazing slabs Matt
Beautiful slabs. Great job.
I LIKE MANGO WOOD FOR DIFFERENT COLORS AND CURLINESS. THIS WALNUT IS VERY NICE
Love it keep it up as always 💘
Amazing walnut. Love it.
While the normal vision for these slabs seems to be tables, I see beautiful rifle stocks.
Nice video, Matt.
Hey, Matt! That vertical "scar" thing looks like the remains of a lightning strike.
My thought also.
There isn't hardly any bad Walnut unless it's rotten I love it
Good Morning Cremona Family.
I see so many awesome gun stock s in that I'd be proud to own one👊👍
Hi Matt. Sawmill question. How does that hand winch propel the blade mechanism forward. Thanks
Cable is anchored to the end of the bed
Gorgeous!
I totally agree with the chainsaw marks, I totally think you did the best you could with what the tree was and how it felled. Awesome clip this one was man, I really am thankful for you and all you do man😊👍Keep up the amazement!🤘😝😊👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Beautiful!!!
Is there a reason you are not using some kind of an electric winch instead of the hand one? I love your channel!!
Glad to see another weird piece of wood on the sawmill. Question...are you going to move your sawmill closer to he barn or are you going to build a sawmill shed? 😊
Matthew - I remember years ago when all you had to work with was a hook, and sweat. A little different now!
What spectacular wood
Nice, how thick are you cutting those slabs
9/4
enjoyed this one
Greetings from the BIG SKY. Muddy in Montana, too.
chuckle. I have telehandler envy ;)

How thick do you cut your slabs? 2"-3"?
How wide can you cut?
Walnut doesn't have tanic acid, it's oak that has tanic acid. Walnut has juglone. Lucky it was a soft lead bullet and not a nail.
how is your arboretum(sp?) coming
Rock on!
Do you put all of your saw dust in the same place when you clean out the dust collector and around the saw mill? If so how big is that pile?
Hi are you going to move the saw mill down to the barn
Would like to see what happens with some of your slabs.
nice sawering! to coin a word!
What HP motor you running, ?and another nice carcass
10
The wound thing is most likely a lightening strike.
Had to come looking for this vid. Your vid title did something to the algorithm lol. “Why’d they send the little guy” sent me 😂. And can we get a compilation of you attaching (sp edit) magnets to things? Maybe as a short? 🍿
So many crotches, so little time!
We need a guest appearance by Donovan. You two are a perfect comedy pair!
How thick are your slabs?
Chuck TIA
These are 9/4
I wonder if that vertical wound/scar is from a lightning strike? This sometimes blows a strip of bark off the tree.
Very likely
When are you going to get a kiln?
The edge with all the chainsaw scars could be trimmed off to make a straight edge and leave the other live edge for a bar top
23:30 -ish not so much of an 'overshoot' that you need a bumbershoot, so it's all cool ;-)
super nice
All the snow in Lewistown is melted now.
Hi , I am from Moundview MN where are you located
Stillwater
What would those sell for?
We want to see what people do with these beautiful pieces.. is that even possible?
"need more ass", as a fellow small guy moving big stuff I relate. Pulling on a peevey , bouncing my weight trying to roll a lumpy log , a little more ass would help.
I tried to sand out the 'quarter sawn' figure in a red oak table I made until I realized it was the grain of the tree and how it was cut.
Two questions in multiple parts.
Who was helping you as camera op? Lindsay?

Camera operator is Brad, Matt’s editor and creative director.
@@bradthomashill nice work, I noticed more dynamic shots than we usually see in Matt's videos (no hate just an observation) & wanted to compliment your work. It doesn't go unnoticed.
Did ya ever think of putting a small hydraulic power unit and hydr motor on your saw to drive the carriage?
Part of the game ... but it's a great cut
At 0:27 the crotch stump in the snow.. when should we be expecting to see it quivering in fear before the blade @Matt
Greetings from the BIG SKY
If ANYONE can cut the diamonds (and other gems) it's Matt!
Run into this heartbreaking scenario all the time, unfortunately....we have to remember to be thankful, whenever someone _doesn't_ butcher the wood!!🤣😜🙏🙏🙏🙏
Nice slab instead of cutting the chainsaw cut out I would but a Butterfly across it to have a cool table top.
Matt, I have to let you know that I pulled a "Cremona" in my wood shop today. While trying to move something too heavy for my ability, I said, "Need more ass!" :)
Another great video Matt.
When are you putting the hydraulic on the sawmill ?
Is it still Winter in your neck of the woods?
Finally lost its grip a couple weeks ago
@Matthew Cremona
It was spring here in Arizona for about a week, now it's summer, highs in the mid to upper 90s.
