Today we saw a Beautiful Cherry Log on the Woodmizer LX 150, This log came from a blowdown tree that was deep in the valley. I couldn't recover the log until we got the Wallenstein FX 85 Skidding Winch.

Good morning Morgan’s. Watching while having coffee then off to get some rounds out of the woods. Have a great day all

[@thomasdesmond2248]

She doesn't know how to take it easy. Glad your doing better. Happy birthday Evea. Mike if you have forced air heating. You need to use a humidifier. Forced air heat will cause you to feel stuffed up. Because it drys you out. Also you can use saline in your nose. It really helps. God bless

[@cuban9splat]

Warm and sunny the last three days and today it is warm, about 65 for a high, and raining here in Central Arkansas. Really glad to see you were able to rescue that Cherry log and turn it into lumber. Beautiful. Thanks for sharing with us.

[@russellbowman8051]

Beautiful Lumber From the Cherry Log!!👍👊

[@jeffhartmann2469]

SOUTHERN INDIANA HERE…Beautiful wood Mike. Maybe I can buy a woodmizer someday. Glad to hear you’re healing up Melissa.

[@woofersd2383]

Mike, it’s very nice of you to cut such beautiful boards, to strategically place around Melissas pool, cause you Love her that much. 😀

[@tommyordoyne7461]

Melissa, glad to see that you are doing better. Happy birthday Eva. Nice job Mike. Beautiful cherry wood grain. Have a productive day.

[@eroomluap]

Melissa isn't the only eye candy in your videos. That Sawmill and all your other equipment are great to see and experience how they work. Thanks for everything

[@jamesbockenstette4332]

A great video. Thanks to Melissa. She adds to every video with her positive perspective.

[@robertgarthwaite9199]

Like your show a lot, folks. I wish I could have brand new equipment like sawmills, chainsaws, tractors, implements and probably gloves for my projects!! I'm SO jealous!!

[@markjones4090]

Happy birthday Eva, same day as my grandmother who turned 103. I cherish every moment I have with her.

[@thomasmaphis7203]

Have a wonderful birthday Eva.... Hope your day is bright and beautiful

[@richardhutchings921]

I love that grain.It's beautiful. My oldest Son's birthday was yesterday. He is 48.

[@jamesdearinger3674]

That is beautiful wood. I have a great appreciation for cherry furniture coming from the home of one of the premier makers of handcrafted cherry pieces in Indiana. I look forward to seeing the rest of that log milled.

[@henryrodgers3409]

That saw mill sure is sweet . The only thing that drives me nuts about the mill is that you walk on the side that the saw dust is ejected . The Wallenstein FX 85 Skidding Winch has certainly made it possible to get logs that previously would have just rotted in the woods . Was looking at a video on the Wallenstein log splitter . That company makes all kinds of stuff . The best part is that Wallenstein products are made in Canada . Made with Canadian LOVE . Mike you have cut quite a few boards so far . Where do you store your boards . You must have quite a buddle by now . Happy Birthday Eva . Won't be long when she'll be borrowing your truck when she gets her driving license .

[@johnreinburg859]

Great to see you working the wood mizer and enjoying yourself. Glad to see you taking care of projects.

[@johnhollis3419]

It's a pleasure to watch your methodical and safe way of handling wood cutting. Stay safe !!! Nice results with your work.

[@walkertj2]

Happy Birthday Eva! That's some beautiful lumbar Mike! Nice work.

[@regsparkes6507]

Beautiful looking wood,..my dear ol' father would have loved to be able to work with this wood! He loved working with wood, and took pride in bringing out and preserving the grains of nice wood like this. Perhaps I strayed from the topic here, but looking at those planks, reminded me of him and his work shop hobby days!

[@chancewilmot264]

It would be neat to see you to see you mill some lumber and send a piece to Buckin to build a axe handle

[@richardbonner2354]

Mike an' Mellissa! I'm whit Chance! Buckin' Billy Ray Smith and Missus Buckin' an' Family would LOVE an authentic, real, live piece o' The Morgan Land! Pure-T Pennsyltucky wild, red cherry... a piece o' that fits in Canuck-lan' je-e-e-e-ss R-r-i-i-i-ght! Rick Bonner, Pennsyltucky [e-mail]

[@petermcfarlane4592]

What beautiful lumber,fantastic colours

[@dennisryan7487]

My Daughter, Elizabeth's birthday tomorrow, and her very best friend that she went all through middle and high school, is also the 29th. Happy Birthday Eva! Have another one next year !

[@jeffcalvin5516]

Wow - very nice cherry log. Isn't the smell of sawing cherry just the best? It is my favorite wood to work with, machine, etc. Although it doesn't stain very well. I usually just polyurethane it and keep it au natural! Nice channel - really enjoy seeing your family farm, etc.

[@terrycastor8299]

Beautiful cherry. Makes me think back to the house on the farm my Dad built after the original 2 story brick house burned down. The only lumber he bought for that little house was the wall studs and the oak flooring. The floor joists, the subfloor and the rafters were all rough cut white oak. The baseboards were cherry and the quarter round trim on the floor was maple that he shaped at the place he worked on his own time. All the wood I have described came out of our woods. The brick veneer on the house was salvaged from the original house and even that brick had been fired on the farm when the original house was built. So, 90+% of the material in the house that exists on that property today came from the property it sits on. Same goes for the barn. It is made from poplar. We don't own it anymore. Dad sold out in 1970 when he retired to Florida. I still miss that farm.

[@bwillan]

That was a beauty of a cherry log that you milled. Some fine furniture will be made from those boards. I'm sure you're really appreciating having that skidding winch for getting those out of reach downed trees for firewood and lumber.

[@olddawgdreaming5715]

Good morning Mike and Melissa, great to see you getting around better, do what the doctor said ! Great video on the wasted wood you were able to save. That’s some beautiful wood you have milled. Enjoy the rest of your vacation. Happy Birthday to all of the ones we have missed and to Eva, may you all be safe and blessed. Thanks for sharing with us.

[@williamspangenburg8116]

Melissa, when you went downstairs it was my first chuckle of my day. Thx

[@MartyM_33]

Wow!! What a awesome job and beautiful lumber. This makes me want to get a sawmill. I wish I had cherry and oak on my property.

[@jeffreylane6098]

Really enjoy watching the Morgan family life Mike the outdoors man ,Melissa his lovely wife The LX150 and the cherry log so sweet Cut into sections it's beauty can't be beat Children's birthdays come and children's birthdays go Every one so precious as we watch them grow So many things to be thankful for things we hold so dear We are blessed with this Morgan family for keeping us all so near

[@rickfranklin2526]

Hi Mike and Melissa and Happy birthday Eva , love the cherry wood you sawed up , my hobby is woodworking and I've made a cabinets and hanging shelfs out of cherry , the hanging shelfs is 45 years old now and still holding up great . Mike , hope your cold gets better soon . Hello Hunter and girls.

[@OldVermontGuy]

Good morning from Northern Vermont - warm here today (35 degrees). Happy birthday to the applicable family members. Beautiful cherry - it will be quite desireable for woodworkers once it dries and cures. Back to the workshop.

[@randycarpenter2914]

Beautiful lumber Mike. Like watching the sawmill work it does a great job. Thanks for sharing and glad to see Melissa is better. God bless.

[@mikebrunner9155]

Nice to see Melissa going down stairs again just don't over do it. Snowing about an inch an hour here in Western Nebraska Saturday midday. Hey Hunter....

[@rickcassell9613]

Happy to see you back ! Glad to see you healing well . 👍

[@kerrybowden9097]

Happy Birthday Eva... That mill was a great investment. You got some nice land, great machinery, keep the saw dust flying.

[@mrtime1945]

Have seen some nice cherry cabinets nice wood and Melissa is crazy

[@karlsoffthegrid1378]

The wood grain in the cherry log is absolutely beautiful! It’ll be fun to see what project to use that on

[@bobfuchs3627]

50 degrees in late December, wow. S. Wisconsin had 58 on Christmas. To paraphrase an old song " we're dreaming of a brown Christmas " cold front finally got here, if high 30's is cold. Nice log / nice lumber. Happy Birthday Eva . Lookin good Melissa

[@harveygussow7913]

Thanks for the sawmill it looks like you have a nice setup for yourself.

[@thebradleysoncatbirdhill6849]

So I have a list of things to do as long as my arm, and yet I sit and am fascinated by Mike (and Melissa 😍) milling this cherry log! Just call me a cheap date! Thanks for showing the beauty in that log!!!

[@waltgranger7951]

Love your channel, even better when you have your wife with you. My wife is my best friend. Almost 51 years. Thank you.

[@webbbuildingmaintenanceinc2044]

Glad to see Melissa walking good again hope you had a great Christmas happy birthday to Hannah

[@davidsmith2750]

Hi Mike, I envy you all those beautyful cherry logs. My mind just trips over all the cherrywood furniture that has allways pleased so many people. Sorry you caught a bug....get well.

[@dmorgan28]

Really enjoyed the video. Thanks 👍👍👍❤️

[@L2FlyMN]

Lots of valuable square foot you cut up with that beautiful cherry! Imagine after being kiln dried.

[@roywadsworth2102]

the trees are generally oak,hickery,poplar

[@bud1412]

Mike, if you look at Out of the Woods videos, some of his best boards are cut from old bent up crouch wood logs. These logs you did today are great, but with the wide cut you can make with this saw give a wide crouch area a cut and show us the results.

[@terrynichols7199]

Mike, you're going to need that building sooner than later when I see that beautiful cherry log. I grew up in a carpenter's family, learned to appreciate the different woods early on.

[@brunosmith6925]

Your love for fine wood is admired. I trust you will turn this beautiful tree into many more beautiful objects.

[@evilbrat5376]

Yup - Good Morgan to The Morgans! For a saved blown down tree that Cherry log produced some beautiful lumber. Love that grain in it. Early but ~ Happy Birthday Eva! [hope you took Hunter down for his Burger King Biscuit this morning] Glad to see Melissa walking almost normal this morning, on her way to getting back in the saddle. Have a safe one up there and "Have A Day!"

[@edgarkeck3010]

Melissa, glad to see you on the mend. Mike, nice save on that log. Beautiful wood. Hi, Hunter!

[@allenpelletier6759]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY EVA. HUGS

[@crosshairstare]

Happy Birthday Eva, Hi Hunter!!

[@raynall3593]

beautiful wood, wood make some nice furniture like china cabinet or gun cabinets. Love the wood grain of cherry.

[@wayneschnare4019]

NICE LOOKING WOOD !!!!! as always great tunes , Big Hello to Hunter . Happy Birthday Eva !!!!!!!

[@stevethiel5838]

Happy Birthday Eva! We have grandson birthday and great grandson this week. Good to see Melissa on mend, Mike as well. Happy New Year to all!

[@ronwest7797]

Happy birthday Eva. The 23rd was my granddaughter, Evie's 9th birthday. Have a wonderful day.

[@rcroadhog]

HAPPY BIRTDAY MISS EVA !!!

[@brucealvarez9263]

Happy Birthday Levi and Eva!!! Where's the 880 for those big logs? I guess no CrossFit for Melissa for quite some time.

[@allenpelletier6759]

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY TO LEVI

[@bigbigby4657]

So glad to see you doing better Mel ☺... Happy belated Birthday Levi & Eva!!🎈🎂🎈... Mike, that Cherry was WELL worth the effort you put into getting it of that hillside! Good Save...👍👍

[@fleminj2pa]

That rash of December birthdays validates what I have always said, March is usually a horrible month for outdoor activity. Happy New Year, Morgan family! 😊

[@OutdoorsWithTheMorgans]

Haha!

[@jamiegratton9748]

Absolutely love the grain in this lumber!

[@jasonmccook5017]

Mike, With that Cherry someone could make some fine furniture. Enjoy the weather while you can!

[@mauso12012]

That's some gorgeous cherry.

[@dwightvarney6215]

Nice to see the sawmill back in action. Great to see you guys survived Christmas. Happy birthday to Eva. Happy New Year

[@timthompson5885]

Mike glad to hear ya feeling better and also Melissa's foot is better. Beautiful lookin cherry log. Wish we could grow cherry trees like that in Central Wisconsin. As usual awesome video. Keep em coming

[@greenlizard6431]

Bet those two pieces you cut off the one end would make some beautiful bowls

[@Shadow-ol2ik]

Great job. Glad everyone is doing well and happy birthday Eva 🎂🎈🎉

[@lloydpainter1701]

Beautiful wood! Nice job getting the very best out of that log..

[@almonjacob3496]

May I make a suggestion? If you hang a 5 gal pail on the saw dust chute you won't have to walk in the dust and track it in to Melissa's house. For me even if you have to dump it in a pile after every cut it is worth it to have a clean work area and a happy wife!

[@123gonow]

Might be missing a golden opportunity with those wide cherry logs not cutting them into 2" thick boards and leaving the live edge on both sides for table material Mike ! Live edge brings some very good money ! Great to see Melissa back on her feet ! Hope your feeling better as well Mike !

[@gastoncannon4710]

❤️❤️❤️❤️That cherry is beautiful wood. Awesome video, Mike, goes good with ☕️. Tell Eva Happy Birthday 🎂. Y’all have a very Happy New Year. 👍👍👍👍👍 Hi Hunter 🍔

[@georgesherman5345]

Glad that Melissa is able to motivate now. Happy New Year to you guys.

[@matthewfinn3724]

Happy Birthday Eva from Northeast PA

[@gwaynel8363]

From our family to yours we wish you a "Happy New Year". Happy Birthday Eva we hope it's the best yet!!. Greensboro NC.

[@bobpurs]

Glad Melissa’s foot is better. Nice lumber Mike

[@weaverkevin5462]

Mike looks like your having fun. That's some very nice cherry. Thanks for the video Mike and Melisa.

[@davedowding5883]

How wonderful to see Melisa out and about! It was also a great surprise to see another LX150 milling of a beautiful cherry log being converted into amazing four or five quarter lumber. The grain pattern and the spectacular color brought goose bumps. Do you know what the ambient humidity was the day of milling? I’ll bet you get some decent air drying on the lumber. If I lived down the way, I’d buy two of the for-firewood chunks, and would turn you some bowls, a couple of salt and pepper grinders, and who knows what else. I make boxes, art pieces like vases lidded enclosed vases, jewelry, kitchen tools such as stirring spoons, rolling pins...all from beautiful wood from your place. This was another fantastic video. So professionally produced by the Morgan Studios! Thank you again. We wish the Morgan’s a Happy New Year, a prosperous, safe and blessed time. And of course, have a day!

[@rkeround2itindustries892]

Tell Eva, Happy Birthday from Oregon. Good to see Melissa back not hopping around. Nice looking cherry.

[@bobfitch607]

Good to see mellisa walking better. ẞure it's feeling better too 👍 that cherry lumber is sweet buddy. Good video

[@buddyduncan2095]

Happy birthday to them both

[@LanceSheppard]

Mike, i ain't even ashamed to say I'm jealous of the sawmill. 😂 Great work sir, I love that mill!

[@bengiegilbert6528]

Happy Birthday Eva, hope you have a wonderful day.

[@gregmitchell9167]

Pennsylvania Cherry , the most beautiful in the world ..... my opinion ....

[@ronniekoehn9413]

Beautiful wood I wish i lived closer would love to have some of that last log you cut.

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

Nice Cherry Mike,

[@petermavus4131]

That Cherry is Cherry....God the Master Woodworker

[@SpencerScottFL]

Thanks for all the great content this year. Looking forward to next! :)

[@WoolysWorld]

What an amazing piece of equipment, wow love it

[@DaveBobsMS]

You guys are so good (funny) together 👍🥰

[@JimG31547]

Beautiful boards.

[@thomasstrout1738]

Very nice clear cherry. That log would have decayed but now will last a lifetime or more as beautiful furniture.

[@GriffithsFfestiniog]

Hi Mike great to see Mrs M back we have missed her smile every day, love the wood fantastic grain and colour. Can you show us how you store and season your planks, enjoyed the video as usual. Happy birthday to Eva!

[@joeburkhart3809]

I am a big fan of your videos

[@rhondadavis4966]

Stunning

[@bigbigby4657]

Hey Mike, I stopped the video at 12:30 cause a thought hit me... Have you thought about at the time you've exposed all 4 sides of the log to turn and inspect it for the best looking flow/face of the grain in the wood? Doing so would allow you to pick the prettiest, best looking boards. Not doing so you might cut the best side up into becoming the sides of boards and not the faces of them... Something you might do off camera and we're just not seeing, but if not, just a thought. Beautiful Cherry Dude!👍

[@craigsudman4556]

Ann says, "We need a close-up view of the bracelet, can't see it from that far away." Good to see you up and about Melissa, happy birth day, and happy birth day to Eva. Ann just said, "I wonder if Mike ever made fire starters with the sawdust and wax?" Great video guys, thumbs up.

[@johnbailey9682]

Well looks like MO is walking a lot better so hope you have a great New Years .

[@DJ2CM]

Mike I always enjoy your video's and learn these little differences we have 😀 you call 4-->1/4 8--> 1/4 10--> 1/4 we call. 1inch 2 inch. 2 1/2 inch . Means nothing but something that sticks out to me. Would real love to have all toys / oops equipment lol. Instead of just repairing them . Also I ride a trials motorcycle and would be riding your whole property and just be over the moon . Oh and there is quite a difference between trials motorcycles and just dirt bikes we do little to no damage . And Have ridden right up to deer and in the woods . On my two-stroke Gasgas 300. Anyway just commenting and sharing. Have a great one. 🇨🇦 Craig

[@jimclark576]

Beautiful lumber! Happy birthday Eva!
