The log was great, but your son was the best! From another proud father who has 5 wonders of his own. My oldest became 40 and my youngest turned 28 this year. Enjoy every moment, minute, and second, because it all goes by to fast.
Given the extent of the rot and the stunning character that was revealed,,, I would make a coffee table and bench set using a blue epoxy to really highlight the grain and colors of the cherry. Good luck and thanks for allowing guests along.
Been watching Fall Line for a long time, and your videos never fail to educate and entertain, as well as occasionally astonish. Plus, you get my special Kool Beans Award for using the word, "exacerbated" in sentence. Congratulations.
Beautiful wood. You can find beauty even in something imperfect. Your son is also so beautiful. But I'm sure you already know that. God bless and stay safe.
OMG that tree is outstanding. Like you said a treasure. You are very lucky. I guess luck happens to those that appreciates it. Thank you for sharing such beauty in this world, and good people like you and your family. Be safe.
I worked on a portable saw mill for a while. It was a great learning experience. It gave me a deeper respect for the various lumbers, and the end product. Beautiful.
Lovely log Wes. I agree about the epoxy, I said it as you revealed the rot. However, I like the idea of the glass top too, providing the rot is neutralised. Lovely end to the video. Your son is growing and learning fast. You all stay safe! Stan
I like your cinematography. It makes this engaging. Don't mind the haters, I think you found something unique and interesting there. I'd definitely go epoxy river on this baby.
Nice upload from you & yours Wes! That log has got some fine markings, and as you said, will maybe make a great coffee table, but it's sure going to take a lot of Resin to fill that! Stay safe & well.
Love cherry. wood. I’ve got massive dining table made of cherry we cut ourselves witth my father years ago. Now it is unique piece of our home in his memory . Nice boy, God bless you all.
That is beautiful, don't fill it with epoxy just get a piece of glass cut to sit on it and some short legs to make a coffee table and you won't lose the spectacular colour and depth of the center. Maybe just lacquer the surface area to highlight the colour. Just my four penneth worth. I enjoy your enthusiasm.
What a gem to find in that cherry log! Your son is going to be learning quite a bit from his old man about harvesting his own lumber and making beautiful furniture! What a wonderful thing to look forward to as he grows! 👍
Love that the close-caption text says "applause" when water was tossed on the log. At first I was like, nice, that is beautiful and does deserve an applause... But then realised it is audio text and the water tossed on does sound a little like applause. 👏
That was a great shot on the wasps, you got every one I think That is a beauty. I wonder could you epoxy fill and then cut it into a 3" thick table top, and get some cherry wood boards out of that at the same time? I'm building keepsake boxes for x-mas gifts and so I'm kind of drooling over that cherrywood I guess. ?That Wood Miser what a nice machine; Made in America.
Beautiful log! I recently milled an old blowen down cedar. Similar heart rot pattern but it was much much worse and was almost out to the bark. Also glad to see you showed no mercy on those wasps.
Hay man just a good tip from one sawmiller to another if u paint the ends of the logs it will stop them from cracking and the log can last for 2 to 4 years out in the elements of rain and sun
True and it's surprising how many don't seal the end grain. There are commercial preparations available like Anchor Seal, but cheap latex houseplant works as well. Roll it on one end and when you'er done, go put another coat on the first end and then back. I know some guys who run a tree service and bring down a lot or big urban trees. They sell the saw logs on the spot and the dude who buys them is often there when they come down. He does his sealing before even loading them.
@Scott Jennings not sure how to respond to your ignorance, with humor or as a critic. how about I ignore you since you show what an ass you are in public. you don't even deserve my attention even to address your stupidity. That is all, you can go keyboard commando out of your mommies basement now. bu bye.
Don’t forget to treat for the ants. If you don’t they will be all over your shed in a matter of weeks. This is a beautiful log and you’re very lucky to be able to make something of it. Best of stay safe.
Them sawmill companions look mean! Up north here we only deal with yellow jackets haha! I'm sure I'm not the first to ask, but if you ever feel like parting ways with the 3000 ford, I'd be interested!
That will be a nice table for sure I got a cherry tree and a black walnut that wind uprooted both have about 30ft of billable wood. I been having trouble trying to decide what to do with them. Sell the logs or have them slabbed sure wish I was close to you.
Fill it with epoxy that would make a beautiful table. Glad to see your little helper he makes the video all that much better to watch! Thanks for sharing your videos with us all and God Bless
I’m so glad you decided to keep it. You might want to put a couple of straps on it to keep it from separating as it dries. Not sure it will help, but can’t hurt. Your son is adorable!❤️

Thank you! I have a 13 year old daughter also, it's amazing how fast they grow up.
I really appreciate your esthetic sense and the way you approach this log.
What an adorable little boy, and he's talking so well too! I miss that age, my grandkids are in their teens and twenties.
Beautiful piece! It would make a gorgeous sofa table or entrance table! Stunning!
Your little guy is adorable! 😍
Your adorable son is the best.Thanks for sharing God bless.
And, what a beautiful little boy. You are blessed!
Thanks for sharing such a beautiful little boy. You are one lucky dad.
Nice log. Enjoyed see you new assistant (future boss) at the mill. Spend as much time with him as possible, they grow up fast.
Great stuff - milling wood, fighting insects, and family oriented! Keep em coming brother!
Your little boy is soooo adorable 💓💓 I've watched this one before, but must have missed that last part - great ending!! 💓💓

Wow! That is beautiful! That is gonna be awesome. Thanks for sharing 👍
Great video and from my perspective like a whole ton of other people that little man can melt your heart!
Beautiful wood. You can find beauty even in something imperfect.
Your son is also so beautiful. But I'm sure you already know that. God bless and stay safe.
Thank you, Karen.
OMG that tree is outstanding. Like you said a treasure. You are very lucky. I guess luck happens to those that appreciates it. Thank you for sharing such beauty in this world, and good people like you and your family. Be safe.
LOL...Love the little guy and I also could listen to you talk all day long!
I worked on a portable saw mill for a while. It was a great learning experience. It gave me a deeper respect for the various lumbers, and the end product. Beautiful.
i love your enthusiasm and I agree about the beauty of the Cherry log. I want to see the final table.
What a beautiful little guy. Nice log, very pretty.
The log is beautiful but that baby is absolutely precious.
Interesting outcome. Making a treasure out of trash. Cherry is beautiful.
Lovely log Wes. I agree about the epoxy, I said it as you revealed the rot. However, I like the idea of the glass top too, providing the rot is neutralised. Lovely end to the video. Your son is growing and learning fast. You all stay safe! Stan

Absolutely beautiful slab of wood.... so many options....
Can't wait to see the finished product and that's a wonderful kid you got there.
What a sweet baby, log is beautiful piece
Nice upload from you & yours Wes! That log has got some fine markings, and as you said, will maybe make a great coffee table, but it's sure going to take a lot of Resin to fill that! Stay safe & well.
Your little man is so adorable, and the log was not bad either.
Love cherry. wood. I’ve got massive dining table made of cherry we cut ourselves witth my father years ago. Now it is unique piece of our home in his memory . Nice boy, God bless you all.
That will make an awesome coffee table. Be sure to show us. Thanks for sharing.
That’s stunning and little man is growing like a weed... hugs and kisses 😘 from Granny Susan
I think you’ve got several drop dead gorgeous tables out of that log. Epoxy and wrot iron. Beautiful log!
That cherry log is pretty. I agree it would make a fantastic coffee table.
That is beautiful, don't fill it with epoxy just get a piece of glass cut to sit on it and some short legs to make a coffee table and you won't lose the spectacular colour and depth of the center. Maybe just lacquer the surface area to highlight the colour.
Just my four penneth worth. I enjoy your enthusiasm.
Oh that's a great idea! Thanks.
Also installing some cozy LED-light / micro-spots under the glass,
Nice idea!
Epoxy wouldn't stick without scraping the middle so it would loose the feature. You have a great idea.
Maybe just a light coating of acrylic to help stabilize it
Great video, beautiful wood, glad you got rid of those wasps. Your little boys is cute. Have a great day. God Bless.
What a gem to find in that cherry log! Your son is going to be learning quite a bit from his old man about harvesting his own lumber and making beautiful furniture! What a wonderful thing to look forward to as he grows! 👍
Thanks, John!
Was I the only one who laughed when he took out the wasps...I hate those things! Lol,,,🤣🤣🤣
that spray works darn good. it even works as mace in a pinch
I grew up with wasps, it's the fire ants that I can't abide.
We’ve all got to live even wasps
I always spray after dark so I get every last one on them!
So adorable...the little man!!!
Love that the close-caption text says
"applause" when water was tossed on the log. At first I was like, nice, that is beautiful and does deserve an applause...
But then realised it is audio text and the water tossed on does sound a little like applause. 👏
Very good video. As always!!
Very pretty wood in spite of the rot. Thanks for sharing.
The little one is the real treasure. That log is certainly unique.
Very Beautiful!! Love it!
It's beautiful . . love the look.
That was a great shot on the wasps, you got every one I think
That is a beauty. I wonder could you epoxy fill and then cut it into a 3" thick table top, and get some cherry wood boards out of that at the same time? I'm building keepsake boxes for x-mas gifts and so I'm kind of drooling over that cherrywood I guess. ?That Wood Miser what a nice machine; Made in America.
Beautiful log! I recently milled an old blowen down cedar. Similar heart rot pattern but it was much much worse and was almost out to the bark. Also glad to see you showed no mercy on those wasps.
Killing red wasps = cool!. Cutting cherry = cool! But...what's REALLY cool is seeing the exchange between Dad and son! Keep it up 👍👍🥰
Hay man just a good tip from one sawmiller to another if u paint the ends of the logs it will stop them from cracking and the log can last for 2 to 4 years out in the elements of rain and sun

He’s right.
I like carb cleaner for wasps. it evaporates and seems clean afterward, and it is very lethal. thanks for the great video!!!
What a beautiful piece of wood.
Your son is adorable!
So nice to the family aspect...real joy!
I don't think those were your run-of-the-mill wasps they looked vicious!
i have seen lots of video today, I love it . this log is beautiful. make something from it. good job .enjoy the life.
You have some pretty awesome toys
Every resin table guy is losing it over this log! It's beautiful!
Cute little guy - you must be proud!!
You totally made the right decision taking that last cut off to expose the rot.
Nicely done 👍👍👍Thanks for sharing
Great shot! You aced those wasps
that's cool... I'm very interested to see the finished product... beautiful wood/heart rot.. good cutting sir
@Scott Jennings not sure how to respond to your ignorance, with humor or as a critic. how about I ignore you since you show what an ass you are in public. you don't even deserve my attention even to address your stupidity. That is all, you can go keyboard commando out of your mommies basement now. bu bye.
Excellent choice!!
That’s beautiful. Will make a gorgeous coffee table.
Led lights then clear rezin
Gorgeous slab!
Beautiful piece!
I look forward to seeing the video of table!!!
Very nice, good decision on that second cut
That will be a wonderful table, - Epoxy ( clear) or the glass option as Ron Jupe noted - and you've got a 1x4 or so out of that last offcut to boot!
That log looks amazing
Going to be sharp looking coffee table!
That would make a magnificent bar top 🤩👌
Good call to open it up further it looked even better afterwards :)
Don’t forget to treat for the ants. If you don’t they will be all over your shed in a matter of weeks. This is a beautiful log and you’re very lucky to be able to make something of it. Best of stay safe.
Beautiful log !! Ur son sho is growing up !! :)

Great little guy!!
God bless ya bud and your family!
👌 awesome, wood!
That will make an exceptional coffee table.
Them sawmill companions look mean! Up north here we only deal with yellow jackets haha! I'm sure I'm not the first to ask, but if you ever feel like parting ways with the 3000 ford, I'd be interested!
Nice work DaDa
I was all for not doing one more cut, but you did and it is awesome fill in the heart with epoxy beautiful., would like to see that
I
great decision ,looks great
That is a beautiful log
That will be a nice table for sure I got a cherry tree and a black walnut that wind uprooted both have about 30ft of billable wood. I been having trouble trying to decide what to do with them. Sell the logs or have them slabbed sure wish I was close to you.
Epoxy tables are by far the greatest invention for the lumber industry in the past 30 years and thank god you'll never see one in my home. lol.
Fill it with epoxy that would make a beautiful table. Glad to see your little helper he makes the video all that much better to watch! Thanks for sharing your videos with us all and God Bless
Thanks! Always appreciate your comments!
That will make a beautiful table!
That would make a fine coffee table Thank You from La Pine Oregon
You might want to consider getting out of that drug infested state.
Beautiful bench!!
I enjoyed seeing you assistant. How old is he? I see several potential items in that log.
Have a great week.
When I saw all that rot, all I was thinking was FIREWOOD. Then you splashed water on that last cut and I saw what you were seeing 👍
I like the way you spray the intruder
If y'all don't live in deep East Texas, I'd be shocked! Sure looks (and sounds) like it to me! ;) Great video!
Really interested in what you do with this! Please share when done.
The wood has a great color to it
I’m so glad you decided to keep it. You might want to put a couple of straps on it to keep it from separating as it dries. Not sure it will help, but can’t hurt. Your son is adorable!❤️
Nice job cutting that wood
