- Today we load a Beautiful Cherry Log on the Woodmizer Sawmill and saw some incredible cherry lumber from it. I used the Kubota MX 5400 to lift, flip, and turn the log

A day late, retired airlline pilot. Now living in North Carolina and heavily getting into woodworking. Really enjoy your videos and you've got a great family. Much to be thankful for. Blessings and Finish Strong!
My father-in-law saved a cherry log from the family sawmill for decades. After he retired he learned woodworking and eventually but a grandfather clock cabinet which I can see from where I sit. It is true craftsmanship. The cherry didn't hurt the look one bit!
Hey Mike, ... You often mention that you would like to learn a bit about your viewers. I own a 25 year old business in Massachusetts, we create exhibits, events and brand experiences for our corporate clients throughout the US and all over the world. Our business has been put in a COMA with the COVID restrictions, so this past nine months have taken a toll on our industry. I’m an average “maker” of things, but I’ve always gravitated to the soul of wood. We live in a 246 year old post and beam home, and I got my hands on a Norwood Sawmill a little over a year ago, with plans to mill and fabricate all of the components for a post and beam outbuilding behind our cabin in Maine. This week, I’ll begin fabricating the 36 braces that will be needed for the 24’ x 30’ structure. So much fun getting to see progress on your projects, along with the huge bonus that comes from your willingness to share your life with others. The 4th of July broadcast gave me renewed faith that there are so many who value this country for the amazing place it is for people from all over the world. Thank you for your willingness to share your passions. All the best to you and your entire family.
MISS, watched this channel since the start, with all you have spoken about over the years, the personal stories, good and not so good! and with all the unspoken trials that people don't know about, that you have been thru,(including me), you my lady, outwardly show who your Father truly is!
Now That Is Some GOURGOUS! Cherry Lumber!! 👍👊
That cherry is beautiful. My grandfather was building a barn when I was in college studying to be a shop teacher. He was cutting tree’s on his farm and having them sawed. He saved some curly maple for me. He placed it up in the rafters of his corn crib. When I went to use some of it 10 yrs later that stuff was beautiful but man was it hard. I made my mother a microwave stand out of it and she still uses it to this day.... 35 yrs later...
That's not lumber, that's heaven on earth. I really love that you shaved off some live edge on that beauty. The unique shade of 'white" sap wood really brings out the beauty of that cedar center.
Mike sooner or later you are going to get into kiln drying. Might as well make it sooner. :-) The sawyer I have been buying my mill wood from, and comes out to cut any logs I may get, had a kiln in his barn. It was real simple. A 2x4 frame with cross pieces, and he covered the outside with 1" thick rigid foam insulation. Then he placed a small heater in there and a dehumidifier. He said he would kick the heater on to get it all started, but after it warmed up, he would shut off the heater, and just the heat from the dehumidifier was all it took.
Of course the real guys get a used insulated shipping container, put a set of rails into leading to the outside, with a long cart, so it makes it easy to forklift a whole load of stickered fresh cut right in there. It comes off the mill, gets stickered in a pile, one lift with the MX and it is on the rail making it into the mill. You taught me that red oak takes a lot longer to dry than other types of wood. I have 300 board feet of some really nice and clean red oak stickered on a trailer right now. It's already about 6 to 8 months old, so I may forego the mini kiln setup mentioned above, I have so many other projects going right now including getting my "Mill Crafter" You Tube channel in full swing. You're an inspiration and an example for all of us to follow.
Your blessed with a wonderful wife, Two beautiful daughters and two great sons. And of course your Grandson Ty and your
Grandbaby to be. I got to tell you Grandbabies ARE the the best, spoil them, feed them chocolate, and send them home. Such fun! Makes it easy to get even with the kids!!!!! LOL! Love the babies now, they grow up WAY TOO soon! Mine are, 17, 15, 14, and 10. Miss the days that sitting on my lap enjoying tickles was the reason to come to Papaws! Now they are all too old for that! God bless you and yours, Have a wonderful Christmas!
That cherry wood is absolutely beautifully gorgeous. It will make great looking wood working cabinetry.
Melissa speaking of tender mercies, you are right. When times get tough, many tender mercies flow to those who especially need the love, compassion, hugs, gifts of joy and certainly confirmation of deep friendship. I'm sure many thousands have visually experienced those tender mercies from the Morgans. Thank you so much, Morgans. Love y'all. God bless. Merry Christmas. Plz keep sharing those tender mercies. It warms hearts when times are difficult and cold. ☝️🙏🇺🇸💪👉...
That cherry is beautiful. Any furniture built from that could be heirloom quality, indeed. I really enjoy your content. Thank you for all the time you invest in putting out quality content.
Glad to see you got caught up on electrical for the shop and see you on the sawmill. Speaking of sawmill, Out of the Woods, Nathan is number one when it comes to milling lumber, he is on the money, and, I love to watch him use the hydraulics on his mill, amazing. Thanks for sharing and have a great day. 🇺🇸
I really enjoy watching work with all your equipment. You make it look easy, though i know it is not. Dean Larson, Monroe, GA.

I appreciate the insight, Melissa. We need to keep things in perspective. No matter how bad we think we have it, there’s always somebody who has it worse.
Oh yea, thats some high dollar wood right there! Good call on cutting it. Melissa, if you miss a couple of days not receiving any packages, and the UPS driver knocks on your door to see if you're OK, you might be ordering too much. haha Love to all
Good evening. Yeah I love watching Nathan also. Love his channel. God Bless.
Love the comments about the worst of times, and best of times!!!
I really like both of you with your positive words and attitudes very uplifting.
Thanks for sharing with Mike and Melissa, you both did a great job with this video. That’s some awesome looking lumber you are milling. You’re doing fine with this mill and maybe down the road you’ll get the one with all the bells and whistles before you physically have to. Keep up the good work and videos and spoil your Grandson as you can. Hey Hunter, we haven’t seen you in your Dad’s videos for a while. Hope you’re doing good 👍👍👋👋. You all take care. Fred.👍👍👍👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Cherry has to be my favorite as well. I do not put any finish on a cherry project untill the color ages 3 years or so. Thats is when the magic happens.Nice lumber and cut well.
I like to watch sawmilling. It helps me to relax. Lol. 👍👍👍👍👍👍🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Great looking cherry. I grew up in McKean County, PA home of the best black cherry in the world. Cherry trees grown like weeds around there.
In these worst of times, watching you guys every day is some of the best of times.
Milling this cherry wood was like early Christmas for Mike. 🎄😊
You two are simply terrific.Your love for people your work ethic.What a great example you set for your children.Merry Christmas and God Bless.
Talk about a living treasure. I wish I could smell through this video.
Love the last comments Melissa ! God is good all the time and may He bless you & your family !

I like the excitement Mike has for the wood grain, slicing a bark slab off a tree is like opening a present. I can appreciate it, I really like the natural wood grain. I have cherry, red oak, white oak hickory and a lot of walnut, they each have their own neat traits. Stay excited Mike.
Cherry, Hickory, Ash, Oak and Cedar.. In that order. That is one lovely log! Out here in Kansas don't get the opportunity to go from standing tree to milled lumber. Enjoy the blessing.
Amen, tender mercies, the best of times and the worst, you two are such a blessing on here, we are blessed. Hey, you know what, we are getting a huge snow storm Wed. night thru Thru. 18 or more inches here.
I had a kitchen made of cherry once. Beautiful wood. You're spot on about 40° and damp being the worst. Most winter days here on the Atlantic coast in Wales are like that. Roll on Springtime 😊
Amen. Have a day. Love you guys!
That is prettier than any cherry lumber I've ever bought. Your lumber lugger is cuter than my nephew too (my lumber lugger).
Beautiful lumber...you are right...God shows up...no matter the circumstances.
Good things are happening in these bad times,
Our God is good. Hello again from Gig Harbor :-D
Thats what grandkids are for Mike . Spoil them plum rotten and send them home. LOL. So keep up the good work Melissa
Oh so true. The worst of times and the best of times. Stay safe.
Best of times...worst of times. Love it!
Good evening. Got home Saturday night for a early Christmas with the family. Friday the 18th, back to hauling Propane straight through the New Year minus 34hr restarts.
Glad to be working. Merry Christmas everybody. Be safe.
Another saw mill guy is Matthew Cremona. He cuts really big stuff on a shop made mill. Also a great wood craftsman.
I think your quote was from another Dickens book, A Tale of Two Cities. Yeah... just checked. But your message, Melissa, was spot on! Mike, that wood sure is nice... some good wide limber.
That’s beautiful cherry lumber.
Good lesson on milling. Nice Cherry. Thx for this one.
Nathan's channel is great - Out of the Woods. If you haven't seen one of his sawmilling or timber framing videos yet, you are in for a real treat!
Nailed it Melissa!!
That is some awesome looking wood 🪵
I will say it again you too work so good together 👍
Good evening from NC! Awesome log and lumber. I like the description the guy from north of you said “Cat’s paw cherry “. Seems to fit.
I also like Melissa’s best and worst of times. Some of the best has come out in these worst of times; it just doesn’t make tV coverage. Keep the focus joyous!
Gotta love a woman that can split wood!! Lol good job guys! Thanks
Awesome looking cherry boards!
Seeing what that tree was before cutting down I would have left it alone for a while. The Burl would be amazing later in life and would be just amazing.
It is a amazing piece of wood right now.
Will be nice once it dries and something made from it.
Brilliant Mike, stunning lumber
Nice cherry wood really like the knots! I watch his clips as well. Very interesting clips he has and informative like yours...
Hi Mike, great choice of wood. Cherry is beautiful
Attitude is yours and you control it. I’m a pilot ant our primary instrument in the cockpit is the attitude indicator the Pilot in Command is responsible for managing the attitude of the Aircraft no matter what Mother Nature throws at him/her. You decide what you make of the
‘Best of Times and the Worst of times”.
We built our kitchen cabinets out of native Minnesota Cherry, it’s beautiful !
With a nice log like that you would do well to stack the boards up in sequence, that is in the order and orientation that the boards existed in the log. That way a fine woodworker, like Melissa's father, can find the adjoining boards from the log and arrange them for book matching, slip matching, end matching, color matching, etc.
Good to hear about looking for the good things in these times God bless you and your family
Great video Mike 🇺🇲 that will make some beautiful wood I enjoy watching your videos 🇺🇲💯
Beautiful piece of cherry.
"Here comes the muscle." Muscle with a lot of positive energy. Thanks for the uplifting family spirit while showcasing the best things in life. Cheers to the Morgans!
Beautiful boards. Awesome video fella. Thank you.
That's beautiful cherry !!!!
That figure is amazing and the log is pretty good too. 😉 Have a productive day.
Nice touch about the mixed blessings!
Melissa has such a tender positive spirit. It is one of the highlights of my day. Thanks for the hard work putting out these videos. I know more difficult than most people think. ~ Terry

Black Walnut and Red Oak my favorite
A tip that I got from a sawyer who has been cutting way longer than both of us. With a beautiful log like that plane saw right through the heart then with those 3 or so boards turn them on edge and in two passes rip the heart out. You'll still have 6 boards perfectly quarter sawn about 5" wide. 👍 Beautiful log!
You produce tons of sawdust. Perhaps your son could bag it to supply RV stores/ travel related venues/big box stores, etc. as material for use in composing toilets. I'm thinking he would be great at it. His own business!!!
Wonderful closing. Bless the Morgan homestead and those who reside there.
Looking Good Mike! Think U Found a winner!
Cherry rules; I’ve used in to make mantle clocks for family. Beautiful wood, my favorite.
Hey Mike, whatever became of the smaller mill you had? Any plans for it on your place?
I'm like you, poison ivy or oak and even sumac don't seem to bother me.. and like you said, most of my friends , it really blisters them up. Guess we're the lucky ones... Love your show , You and you family have a wonderful day..
I love how positive you guys are.. I fight with depression and being pessimistic. Nothing clinical, just always thought if you expect the worst you will be happy if something good happens. Love your vids...
Thanks for showing how to center the log.
Mike, we all eagerly anticipate, watching you construct your hobby barn office desk, from home sawn lumber a complete home editing set up on your home harvested lumber
Love milling Cherry and have very little trouble drying it. And the smell is fantastic
love that Cherry wood. love to see stuff made from from that other than firewood. I would be happy to make you wooden bowls from that if you wanted them
Arms Family commented about your mill. He is thinking about purchasing a mill. He said to say HI
"Tender mercies, showers of blessings", amen! Even having gone through pancreatitis, COVID-19 and surgery in five weeks time, God's mercies are ever present.
That is beautiful lumber!
I like Cherry too. Once I learned the trick on finishing cherry, it is such a beautiful wood. Get some UV proof finish on it or it will become very dark with age. Of course some want it to do that and it will. Very nice grain and nice and large width boards, Nice and long live edge that would make a bar owner drool for.
Nice grain, Beautiful colour.
Great message to end with! Blessings to you and yours!
You run up on a real beauty Mike that's one heck of a log
I just commented on your last video about looking forward to seeing you mill this log, and not 10 minutes later, your video was posted! That is some beautiful wood. Thanks for sharing!
Absolutely beautiful,
Love Nathan from out of the woods! His hydraulic sawmill is pretty darn awesome! That young man truly knows his stuff. He’s definitely the go to guy about saw mills
That is some beautiful lumber. I think I now like cherry over black walnut and hickory.
Watched Daniel Arms w/ Arms Family Homestead. He mentioned you and Nathan in his video today. All in good company!
Greetings from Mapleton, Utah. That cherry wood is beautiful. Great message as well! It’s always important to find the good in the hard times. Merry Christmas!
Yes sir,,,,"Out of the Woods" is very good woodworking,,sawing etc channel....love his content too!!!!
I cut down some pin cherry trees in my yard a few years back. I gave them to my neighbour for him to turn bowls with. SPRAGUE WOODTURNING. The bowls had a really beautiful grain in them. If you know of a wood turner in your area you should give him some of the cherry and they could make you some bowls from your own trees. Nice family heirlooms. Cheers from Petawawa, Ontario.
Absolutely beautiful cherry. Looks like Woody is cutting as true as the day you got it. Great testament to Woodmizer's quality.
A positive message. Just what I and I'm sure many more needs right now. Blessings on you and your family.
More sage advice from the Morgan’s!
A couple 3 ton scissor jacks on sliding frames work great for a manual log leveler setup on the mill. Use a cordless impact to adjust them, saves a lot of time.
That log is beautiful, such solid wood with no big cracks or any defects. Must’ve been a pleasure to work with!
That’s a fine piece of wood Mike can’t wait to see You using it in building something! God Bless the Morgans! ❤️👍🇺🇸
Melissa a nice way of looking at things
