Absolutely gorgeous! I spent the summer dropping black oaks (28" - 47") that died recently from a fungus. The largest one is almost exactly like that one, with multiple large branches, at every angle, and crotches everywhere. It was tough just to decide how to limb it! Fun stuff, Matt! Thanks for sharing your skills and joy in exposing wooden beauty!
You two should cut more together. Your dialog reflects what you both look for in the wood. Loved hearing how you would cut for the credenza. Love those creative minds Plus, he’s better with the bucket!!!
My favorite is the spaghetti striations/formations along those cracks. Spaghetti oak is highly sought after in the wood turning world and is most likely to be found in burls. That crack area the spaghetti and other coloring looks like a burl was forming but basically got swallowed back into the tree. Very cool. I would love to find some one day.
Super cool! I think of each cut as unwrapping a Christmas gift. It's always such a surprise what you'll find inside! What looks like ramen reminds me of a topographical map. Great stuff! 👍
Some of the slabs look very similar to the outline of the state of Mississippi! Would make a great table for a business, university, state offices, sportsman clubs, or family that wants a unique conversation piece! Absolutely beautiful!
I really enjoy watching you cut the slabs. I'm not much in to that spices of tree ,but my wife seems to only like it. But the figure and other stuff that was going on was really cool. I wish you and you family a Happy Thanksgiving and Happ Holidays.
Whenever a guest comes over with a log, you can title it, "The Fellowship of The Slabs." This was an interesting log.Thanks for sharing Matt. Happy Holidays to you and your family & guests.👍
Got a much of logs to mill up. Probably going to use the chainsaw mill. Eventually I'll have my boy build me saw like yours now that he's learning welding. That oak was amazing.
“The Ramen Log.” Nice! Could make some beautiful drawer fronts with those, or sell some to The Copper Pig and let him make some amazing pieces. That’s a money log for sure.
As beautiful as the inside of that log was, I can't wait for the SLABmaster refurbishment video where Matt replaces the worn out rollers and other upgrades :)
Hey Matt love your UA-cam channel. Can I ask are you finished with the kitchen can we see the finished look. You are so talented wish I could of found a guy like you
Matt, I’ve wondered for a long time why you haven’t automated the back-and-forth movement of your bandsaw rather than cranking it by hand. I’m certain you could add that feature and make it easier on yourself.
Normally when you saw a less than perfect log I go through and price what i think might be junk and what beautiful. This log is kinda like the Metallica Black album, every last piece was beautiful. Even with the rot. It sorta looked like marbalize caramel
I know you can’t give me any sort of exact figure unless slices, but roughly how much weight or slices do yo typically cut before removing them or is it three just for UA-cam and seeing each slice with water?
Great video, Matt. I was just wondering I was thinking about my dog Frankie and I was thinking about your dog pancake. How’s Lindsay doing with the dog?
Very cool slabs, especially with the hole and the sapwood around it
These slabs were amazing, so much character. That ramen grain was weird. Every cut tells a story, and this was an adventure.
Wow I just love what is hidden inside the logs. Never gets old. Thanks for sharing 💕
That next to last slab made my heart go pitty patter! The golds & oranges!!! Gorgeous!
Mark, I love watching your wood working skills. Please give us the completion of your kitchen area. THANKS.
Matt...
Fascinating video! Couldn't stop smiling at the discoveries in each slab.
Oh those slabs of wood are so fantastic to see. The beautiful combinations of patterns in the wood.
That log produced some real pretty colors and grain patterns in the slabs you got out of it for sure. Very interesting neat looking shapes as well.
Absolutely gorgeous!

It must addictive, discovering beautiful grain patterns when cutting slabs.
Matt, your skills are unequaled. This is certainly one of the more interesting logs I've seen you cut.
Thank you!

Plus, he’s better with the bucket!!!
Brilliant figures of grain 🪵 absolutely beautiful !! 👍😎
My favorite line of John's as he was describing a rare section of regular grain in his log. "This is straight grain blah!" "Nothing!" :-)
My favorite is the spaghetti striations/formations along those cracks. Spaghetti oak is highly sought after in the wood turning world and is most likely to be found in burls. That crack area the spaghetti and other coloring looks like a burl was forming but basically got swallowed back into the tree. Very cool.

That is a cool log. Very nice grain patterns. Should make some nice furniture. Stay safe.
Super cool! I think of each cut as unwrapping a Christmas gift. It's always such a surprise what you'll find inside! What looks like ramen reminds me of a topographical map. Great stuff! 👍
That was some gorgeous grain! Wow. Hope someone can make some masterpieces out of those slabs.
They looked beautiful slabs, would love to see a project done with one
Looking forward to the roller repair upgrade video. Something for the winter.
That was truly a unique log. Saying, they were beautiful slabs doesn't do it justice.
Some of the slabs look very similar to the outline of the state of Mississippi! Would make a great table for a business, university, state offices, sportsman clubs, or family that wants a unique conversation piece! Absolutely beautiful!
The slabs at the bottom the hole like like feather running to the hole & are very beautiful !
29:54 looks like a Vincent van Gogh painting
Beautiful grain patterns in this log.

This was an interesting log.Thanks for sharing Matt.
Happy Holidays to you and your family & guests.👍
I had a few pieces like that for bowls that turned out great with twisted grain and bi colored hues.
What lovely pieces of wood
IMO one the most amazing logs to.come off the mill. I hope something special is made from this.
Good Morning Cremona Family.
Beautiful figures in that wood.. love it.. 😊😊
Truly incredible how much that log has with character and color to it. Beautiful to see.
Some outstandingly beautiful slabs Matt.
Very interesting grain and figuring in those slabs, gentlemen. I feel that there is some wonderful furniture crying to be let out there.
Absolutely beautiful slabs! ❤
Thank you for sharing!😊
HAPPY THANKSGIVING DAY!
Thank you!
Got a much of logs to mill up. Probably going to use the chainsaw mill. Eventually I'll have my boy build me saw like yours now that he's learning welding.
That oak was amazing.
"The beauty that is wood" Amen!
I must say, looks like they came out really good, I mean, they really hit the gold mine. That wood looked damn profitable.
looks like its time to do some Maintenace on the mill , new rollers
“The Ramen Log.” Nice! Could make some beautiful drawer fronts with those, or sell some to The Copper Pig and let him make some amazing pieces. That’s a money log for sure.
Blackforest wood co is always a looking for slabs
A very amazing 'log'. Wish I was younger and had some free wall space. I think they would be great wall pieces in someone's boardroom!!!!
There's definitely some of those punky areas that could be cut out and stabilized to make some great platter turning blanks.
At some point a branch or stick fell into the crotch. The tree grew around the stick as it rotted out. Makes for interesting slab, for sure!
The wood grain pattern on most of those slabs look great.
Wow such beauty in those slabs; nature is amazing
They are very beautiful slabs even with the hole
The through holes would be great cable management routing.
Gorgeous grain! Where you see tables and chairs, I see many, many highly figured tops for boxes.
That was a great and unique piece or wood 👍👍 .
That is some of the more interesting slabs I've seen. "Heavy and consistent reinvestments" lol aka I get to buy more big boy toys..😎
Great looking slabs there.
What a beautiful log! I was building furniture from each one of those slabs. To bad i couldn't afford any of those. 😥
Awsome looking wood! ❤.
There are some awesome figure patterns in these slabs, if they were mine I would have to make some 1/4" solid body guitar caps from one.
Sometimes it looked like a topographic map. Are you planning to replace the rollers, and if so with what?
Many of the slices are just works of art. Happy Thanksgiving and thx for this and all the other entertaining saw slicings Matt.
Very nice wood. Would love to see some of the stuff made from it and others from the past too.
Hey Uncle John❤
Great slabs. Makes me want to buy one, or two!! Also, congrats to Lindsay for her city council election win!!
Thank you!
Used to have a tree with a similar hole in a local park. It was called the superman tree.
As beautiful as the inside of that log was, I can't wait for the SLABmaster refurbishment video where Matt replaces the worn out rollers and other upgrades :)
I bet these would look great on a Redwood wall.
Beautiful wood!
slabs got better as it went on
love the grain on that one . the first slabs looked like Ramon noodle grain.
One cool piece of wood!
Looks great
Thanks!
Thanks for another great video
stunning !!!
Nice log
So jealous!
So awesome. You’ve opened my eyes to even more of God’s creation. Enjoy it very much.
very cool

I like it that way 😄

❤😊 Simply beautiful slabs! Holes, rott, staining, crotch, and all. Much character.❤❤
Great video
What is the asking price for each slab?
Matt, do you ever get to keep a slab, when you saw for others?
Time for a Stabilizing shed, Vac stable vats and chamber
You should make some drawer fronts out of those Ramen looking spots
8:51; just the first cut. my head is gonna explode...waaaaaao.
John needs to work on his website if he's actually serious about selling his walnut
All I can see is a guitar body using the existing hole
"Wild White Oak Crotch" sounds like something you can catch in a trailer park
I know you can’t give me any sort of exact figure unless slices, but roughly how much weight or slices do yo typically cut before removing them or is it three just for UA-cam and seeing each slice with water?
Amazing sir,,
Best 👍👍
When are you going to show us more of the kitchen? Been two weeks now.
I know you use carbide blades. How do those do against rocks?
Great video, Matt. I was just wondering I was thinking about my dog Frankie and I was thinking about your dog pancake. How’s Lindsay doing with the dog?
how much for board foot? just sawing
Good
무늬가 예술이다. 즉, 돈이 되네요.
최소 3 -4배 가격 더 된다.
Never seen Ramen Grain before
Does your worn rollers cause any uneven surfaces in the slabs ?
Ooops ! DO your worn rollers, etc...
It looks like a limb crossed the other trunk and grafted in leaving the hole.
I think that is a burr oak. Does it have pretty fat growth rings?
