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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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’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 😂
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👍
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!" :)
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!🤘😝😊👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
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.
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!!🤣😜🙏🙏🙏🙏
At the exposition of PC manufacturers in Taiwan, two case vendors have discovered WOOD. They are so used to painted plastic that they cannot appreciate crotch figure. One vendor maxed out their creativity by cutting the wood diagonal to the grain. Oh Wow! I have asked them to view your channel to at least see what wood really looks like. But I doubt they ever will.
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/CZcams/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??
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? 😊
"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.
Mat: I used to work for JCB's biggest competitor (Manitou) and built their entire business in the N/E. I would imagine these logs are pretty damn heavy. The strength in the removable fork carriage is not in that bottom beam. It's up where the pin is that the forks mount to. You'd be better chaining over the heel of both forks, then through and over the bottom carriage plate, and tilt back to make sure it is secure. Ideally just spread the forks and pick with the forks. Just sayin!
Funny I was thinking same thing....why not just use the forks and pick the log....is the log maybe too heavy for the forks.....just asking. Long time watcher from the beginning of the channel.
@@tobysewell7699 safer to have gone over the heel of the forks also and then around the bottom carriage plate. That way load is spread from the top of the fork mount (pin) and the bottom plate. All that force on just the bottom of the carriage will eventually break it which is a safety risk and costs $$ to replace.
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? 🍿
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.
All those chainsaw marks are perfect for distressed furniture 😂
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.
Great-looking black walnut! You did a masterful job in positioning the log for sawing.
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
11:25 nice "Matt's Info" box. I like that
25:30 "good job slab" lol
Beautiful wood great job Mat !!👍👌🙏✝️
Like a wood nerd’s version of an unboxing video. ❤
hat is just some beautiful Walnut Matt. Thank You for sharing !
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.
Outstanding Matt, thank you
Matt, Vundaba walnut! Thanks for sharing.
Absolutely positively beautiful wood that you cut. You have many skills that deals in wood and i'm quite impressed! Thank you for sharing.
That is some beautiful slabs. I think the log behind this one is going to be be incredible as welll.
I am very pleased to see you have good equipment to work with.
While the normal vision for these slabs seems to be tables, I see beautiful rifle stocks.
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?
Great video 👍
Excellent video angles Matt👌, and operating a drone and sawmill no end to your talents? 😂 Really enjoyed watching 👍
Those slabs are incredible!
I wish I could get hold of slabs like that in the UK
I'd love to see the end result! Beautiful wood.
I LIKE MANGO WOOD FOR DIFFERENT COLORS AND CURLINESS. THIS WALNUT IS VERY NICE

Love the walnut and love that saw!
Those are some crazy slabs!!! Great to see the sawmill. Nice water technique! :-)
I used to watch golf on occasion, now I watch walnut slabs coming to life. Either way it's like watching grass grow!
Beautiful color n grain!
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 😂
Beautiful slabs. Great job.
WOW they are Amazing slabs Matt
Sweet looking slabs! And good water throwing! 😎
Very nice and awesome character
Logzilla turned out to be some beautiful slabs
Amazing walnut. Love it.
Love it keep it up as always 💘
Beautiful wood, love to see it made into something useful… 😊😊😊
great job on Sawyering the Log. cool video
Matthew - I remember years ago when all you had to work with was a hook, and sweat. A little different now!
Nice video, Matt.
Gorgeous!
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👍
chuckle. I have telehandler envy ;)
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!" :)
I see so many awesome gun stock s in that I'd be proud to own one👊👍
Good Morning Cremona Family.
Is there a reason you are not using some kind of an electric winch instead of the hand one? I love your channel!!
Rock on!
Part of the game ... but it's a great cut
What spectacular wood
Man, I'd love those first cuts! I do small stuff and they would work great for me.
nice sawering! to coin a word!
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.
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 job
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!🤘😝😊👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Would like to see what happens with some of your slabs.

Greetings from the BIG SKY. Muddy in Montana, too.
So many crotches, so little time!
We need a guest appearance by Donovan. You two are a perfect comedy pair!
Nice, how thick are you cutting those slabs
9/4

The wound thing is most likely a lightening strike.
enjoyed this one
Greetings from the BIG SKY
Hi Matt. Sawmill question. How does that hand winch propel the blade mechanism forward. Thanks
Cable is anchored to the end of the bed
Nice slab instead of cutting the chainsaw cut out I would but a Butterfly across it to have a cool table top.
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.
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? 😊
Love you Matt. Please don’t go the clickbait crazy face thumbnail route like the rest of CZcams.
I’m hoping it will be ineffective
"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.
The chainsaw cuts add human character fill em' with resin😎
We want to see what people do with these beautiful pieces.. is that even possible?
Did ya ever think of putting a small hydraulic power unit and hydr motor on your saw to drive the carriage?
All the snow in Lewistown is melted now.
how is your arboretum(sp?) coming
Hi are you going to move the saw mill down to the barn
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
How thick are your slabs?
Chuck TIA
These are 9/4

How thick do you cut your slabs? 2"-3"?
How wide can you cut?
Nice slabs but sad it got hacked up by butcher the chain saw.
23:30 -ish not so much of an 'overshoot' that you need a bumbershoot, so it's all cool ;-)

super nice
At 0:27 the crotch stump in the snow.. when should we be expecting to see it quivering in fear before the blade @Matt
Freddie Krueger with a chainsaw!
Ballpark guess... how much is that stack of wood worth?
Time to upgrade to a log roller.
When are you going to get a kiln?
