I've watched several of your videos and can't help but notice you apologize fairly often about how you cut the logs. Apparently some people don't like your method for whatever reason, be it waste or some other reason. If people watch your channel they know what you have to work with in a sawing system. They should know from the first glance of your setup the limitations you have to work with. I wouldn't apologize for working with what you have. If people don't like it then they can watch another channel. Anyway, keep doing what you're doing as the rest of us love to see what you're up to and enjoy the cathartic nature of watching you saw logs...Happy holidays and I'll keep watching.
Good morning. I'm a retired carpenter. I see some comments about wood being wasted. I'm not so sure of that. It's just wasted in a different way, but it looks like about the same amount of waste to me. The soft wood on the exterior of the log doesnt have the value of wood further in, anyway. I prefer your techniques over the band saw as well.
I used to work at a sawmill similar to your setup you have. I loved the job. I'm happy to see you give your employees time and you are patient for them to do there job safely.
I used to worked for 19 years in a furniture factory where we used cherry for 80% of our end product. We used 4/4 FAS and had to cut around the small defects at some point during the sawing phase. The log you just cut was driving me crazy with all the wain and face checking. Not rushing your guys is admirable . Safety is so important with an open blade of that size in the room. Kickbacks must be frightening when it happens there. The sawyer and crew seem to be a very good team.
My employer had a twin blade set-up. And the edger set-up was less than five feet from the saw blades. I would get covered in debris all the time when we would cut big timber. I loved the job but it became quantity or quality and safety kinda went out the window. And I felt like the job wasn't worth me getting hurt so I left and found other employment. Love watching sawmills like yours cause I have been around sawmills my whole life.
❤ I'm 54 and loved rough cut lumber since I can remember Lived around farms all my life except the past 3 years I'm in Pittsburgh and you guys are doing God's work Beauty is on the inside thank you
Love the cherry wood, some of those boards were very good, your variety of cuts will suit furniture makers. Thanks for the showing the milling process of the cherry log, don't see much of it out in Western Australia, I was lucky to get some boards twenty five years ago, it can be beautiful.
My parents bought some cherry furniture in the mid-1950s when I was 6 yrs old. It was produced in North Carolina. Watching your videos give me another perspective on the production of that furniture. Thanks for what you do.
Well the diameter of the log is so big compared to the saw blade . You have no choice but to wittle it down to make it more manageable. You really don't waste that much wood.
This grain pattern looks just like my mom & dads first dinning room table & China cabinet. Solid cherry. It was made at a cabinet shop in the erarly 50's near McConnellsburg PA. I still have both pieces. Still looks great after all these years. Love watching your videos.
Great video as always, keep them coming. That saw sawing into those logs reminds me of my childhood when i use to work in my neighbours frick sawmill. use to hear it sawing clear up the road from where i lived, i use to run up to the mill to give him a hand. loved being a kid .
New subscriber here. I have never seen how raw wood was processed into finished lumber. Especially what I would call furniture grade wood like cherry. Amazing!
Yes in joyed the log sawmill sawing making lumber. I did what your buddy was doing,putting the wood away or lumber away. Great job showing and telling, yes my buddy that owned his mill had bad days to. Well thanks for showing buddy great sawmill you got there, keep up the good work be safe see ya next time see ya bye.
That was an amazing log! I like the edger and the potential it unlocks. Going to have to try and find one soon. Great sawing those wide boards had me drooling. 😂❤
Unlike most I like the big log's and the stop sign cutting. First you're able to remove the sapwood and the only thing left is beautiful 😍 clean grain. Don't forget let your haters be your motivators. As always good luck and God bless.
Never mind the Arm Chair Experts.... Nice job. No matter how you ended up sawing it. My cuts on my manual 30" band may not be ideal for everyone else. But rest assured,. they ended up exactly how I wanted them. And it's ALL my money, nobody else has a cent in it.
Some complain about what you need to do for your job? Ignore those who just want to make trouble for others. You are doing a great job. I'm watching your videos from Hamilton, Ontario, Canada 😎🇨🇦🇺🇲🙏
I had just the worst day in a long, long time.... didn't want to watch news or anything I normally do... just didn't have the stomach or heart for it. I finally thought I would help y'all saw that big cherry log and I'm glad I did. Thank you for easing my mind....
I think that if I didn't live thousands of miles away, I would visit at least once a month and go through your scrap pile. There is something hypnotizing about watching. You might not appreciate watchers for insurance reasons, at least the ones who just show up.
Mark being from North Texas I am not familiar with all the varieties of trees that are sawn. Could you explain what Cherry lumber is. When I hear Cherry I think of the tree that has berries on it. Thanks from Texas
Marc, where is the mill located? From video shot outside it appears you are in an industrial park. Is the entire area yours or do you lease space. I think I'm getting better at guessing when you are going to turn a log and which face you are going to saw next. Always fun to watch.
Amazing how these trolls are from another country and have never touched a mill like yours or a huge cherry. Maybe they can start that bus engine with a hand crank or saw it with a blade made from a car hood. Trolls need to buy a mill and work it before passing judgement.

Totally agree!
This is the good stuff big ol 300 year old trees and that's just my uneducated guess very interesting
I agree with you 100%
Looks great to me
Not saying I agree or disagree with you, but that's what the comment section is for. To allow folks to air their views-good or bad.
Wow, what a beast and nothing wrong with your work, nothing wasted.
At least, there is always a stove that needs food.
Thx for the video.
thanks , yes it makes great firewood too.

That looked like one awesome log. I hope you get many more like it
thanks Tim , we have some monster oak to saw .

Worked on a mill in my hard, young days! This is food for your soul and sawdust is the topping!🇺🇸👍

Beauty is on the inside thank you
Glad to have found your channel! Thoroughly enjoy watching this process! 🙂

You guys do amazing work on that mill! Negative comments are just uninformed wannabes who sit on there butts and complain!
Well the diameter of the log is so big compared to the saw blade .
You have no choice but to wittle it down to make it more manageable.
You really don't waste that much wood.
thanks Jerry , it does work out ok if you take your time and think.
I can see jewelry boxes in those cracked boards! Treasure chests! Thank you for showing us all exactly how it's done.
I love stop-sign logs…. Sometimes they even look like a 12 point socket…. Just more fun to see!!!!!
Great videos although I wish at the end you would show the stacked finished lumber so we could see how much you got out of the tree.
Excellent video, Cale. Wishing your father and all the veterans out there a happy Veterans Day, and thank you for your service. Semper Fi
There is a natural beauty to wood, plastics, steel or concrete do not even come close.
Was a pleasant video to watch, thank you.
cherry is the one wood that will dull a chainsaw in a heartbeat but worth every sharpening when you see the grain
Good work. I just used the same process cutting a pine on my Belsaw. (42 inch blade ha). Love it.
I always enjoy your videos. I really like the way you take down those large logs to useable lumber..awesome 😊
This grain pattern looks just like my mom & dads first dinning room table & China cabinet. Solid cherry. It was made at a cabinet shop in the erarly 50's near McConnellsburg PA. I still have both pieces. Still looks great after all these years. Love watching your videos.
thanks , well built furniture will last a life time.
I can smell it here in Wisconsin. I love carving spoons, bowls etc from Cherry. Lucky man. Huge Cherry.
The way you are cutting a log this big seems like the only logical way to begin cuts. Very educational and enjoyable video, as usual.
thanks Ray.
Man that cherry is nice . One of my favorites to turn . Cheers
A master class piece of machining
thanks Terrance.
I run a swing blade and saw quite a few 38-48" logs. Really like your videos, keep up the good work.
I enjoyed the sawing of that log.
What a nice machine. Appreciate the video; enjoyed it very much.
I have a thousand board feet of cherry waiting for me to get over my stroke.
Great video as always, keep them coming. That saw sawing into those logs reminds me of my childhood when i use to work in my neighbours frick sawmill. use to hear it sawing clear up the road from where i lived, i use to run up to the mill to give him a hand. loved being a kid .

Who wouldn't like this, very informative.
I'll buy this round Eddie. You've earned it!
thank you Dave !
Stop sign videos are my favorite, thanks!
Many thanks for another great video!
Appreciate your having the state flag of Tennessee on your mill wall.
Tom... Powell, TN
thanks Tom.
You know it’s a big log when you can barely see the “master dog”😂
is the stop sign method just necessity, or is there some other reason to do it?
Working ole Eddie today he done a good job enjoyed Mark thanks for sharing
yes for sure Bobby.
The Eddie getting a workout on this cherry log output. But handles it well. Great video
thank you , this is play to Eddie.
That was an amazing log! I like the edger and the potential it unlocks. Going to have to try and find one soon. Great sawing those wide boards had me drooling. 😂❤
thanks , glad you liked it.
Mark is the man for sure, he's always in the line of fire and never even flinches
Caterpillar redwood log. Just saying mark.
Every time you start on a BIG ONE! This CZcams is enjoyable.
You do a great job with over sized logs.. I am learning some new things I can use on my 30 inch band mill ..😊
Nice mill
and to all the negative comments it’s your log do as you please
Really cool to see you tackle that monster Cherry , great no
Great job not great no, lol
Great video!!
I wish I had some of that cherry for a cabinet build nice looking wood.
Hey I love it ,don’t change
How often do you have to change your blade???
Looks like a very beautiful log.
Nice job,great lumber cutting!WA big timber out west!
Nice work on that one Mark. She put up a fight!
I enjoy watching your videos and to me its very intriguing to me and I never worked in a sawmill
I can hear it in your voice.....well done on sawing that cherry log!!
Love the sound of the Bus Motor.🏁
yes sir me too.
Unlike most I like the big log's and the stop sign cutting. First you're able to remove the sapwood and the only thing left is beautiful 😍 clean grain. Don't forget let your haters be your motivators. As always good luck and God bless.
thanks Mark.
That’s a beautiful mill !
Awesome job you made it look easy even with some bad spots on the log
Saved the skidder,got the tree,that's a win!! Want to see more of boss man in the woods.
The log is absolutely great looking
Never mind the Arm Chair Experts....
Nice job. No matter how you ended up sawing it.
My cuts on my manual 30" band may not be ideal for everyone else.
But rest assured,. they ended up exactly how I wanted them.
And it's ALL my money, nobody else has a cent in it.
I like the way this guy talks to you and tells you what he is doing!
Looks great Marc!
thanks.
Muy bueno señor. Alta efectividad. Lo felicito
It would be some beautiful hardwood that would make wonderful furniture and flooring.
God bless you and your crew 🙏 🙌 ❤️
Wow! that monster log produced a huge stack of good looking boards!
thanks Doug.
Some complain about what you need to do for your job? Ignore those who just want to make trouble for others. You are doing a great job. I'm watching your videos from Hamilton, Ontario, Canada
😎🇨🇦🇺🇲🙏
Love the stopsigns
I’m from Israel and I’ve been watch you for years. God bless you
Lovely superb Nice sawing of monster cherry log.
One of my all time favourite woods....good to work with and beautiful in the end ...pleasure to watch
thanks David.
I had just the worst day in a long, long time.... didn't want to watch news or anything I normally do... just didn't have the stomach or heart for it. I finally thought I would help y'all saw that big cherry log and I'm glad I did. Thank you for easing my mind....
Nice setup.
What is the white stuff on the cherry?
Is that from where the cherry was sitting in the ice cream?
Chewy earned his keep on that long. Nice looking cherry. Keep it up.
yes he did , a cant hook would have been tough today.
Good video Bus Motor Productions
thanks James.
I think that if I didn't live thousands of miles away, I would visit at least once a month and go through your scrap pile.
There is something hypnotizing about watching. You might not appreciate watchers for insurance reasons, at least the ones who just show up.
thanks Glen , we would like to meet you someday.
Great sawing Mark.
Bill
thanks Bill.
Nice looking log. Even that cracked stuff could be used for something like a cabinet face frame or cabinet door frames with some judicious milling.
yes the cracked boards will be cut down on the edger.
Nice elderly cherry!
I bought a stack of 4 quarter 12” cherry once that all looked like quarter sawn. Paid 60¢/BF for it. What would it be worth today?
All enjoy the wood cutting. But I am so interested to the arm with all hydrolic and controls to slide
Wow
glad you liked it Ronald.
Is this a log you purchased or a custom cut for some one? How much custom work does your mill do?
this is one of our logs , we do custom sawing but not to often.
Just watched this one again, my favorite video? 4th time.
I love big logs like this I love this video ❤
Mark being from North Texas I am not familiar with all the varieties of trees that are sawn. Could you explain what Cherry lumber is. When I hear Cherry I think of the tree that has berries on it. Thanks from Texas
You did a good job sure others may think they could do better but are right there
Вы мастер своего дела! Интересно смотреть как вы работаете! 😀
Marc, where is the mill located? From video shot outside it appears you are in an industrial park. Is the entire area yours or do you lease space. I think I'm getting better at guessing when you are going to turn a log and which face you are going to saw next. Always fun to watch.
I enjoyed that one. You didn't waist any. I seemed like you were more careful, trying to get more lumber. But I realize too, time is money. Good job !
thanks Larry , yes this log was worth the time to saw it.
im just asking because i dont know would a band saw blade set up make it better or not
Doing great job with a single circle is it a 60e inch
Loved the video, the cherry looked great (at least until you got to the center…)
Terima kasih videonya saya senang melihat...
Halo semua dari Indonesia
love watchin your videos
Amazing how these trolls are from another country and have never touched a mill like yours or a huge cherry. Maybe they can start that bus engine with a hand crank or saw it with a blade made from a car hood. Trolls need to buy a mill and work it before passing judgement.
Yeah, buddy!
Great video Mark!!
thanks Dave , you need to stop out someday!
So satisfying seeing the beautiful wood God gave us to enjoy! Nice job!
thank you.
So cool.
Who knew watching a log get cut could be so entertaining?🤔😂
