Today we sawed some outstanding Pennsylvania Cherry on the Woodmizer LX 150 Sawmill. This log came from a blow down back in the woods. I rescued this log from down in the valley with the Wallenstein FX 85 Skidding Winch. We sawed it into 8/4 which will work great to sell or use for future projects.

As some people do not realize that the removal of fallen, sick and damaged trees is a very good way to insure the health of the rest of the forest. Allowing the sunlight to reach the canopy floor insures that there will be a forests for further generations to enjoy. If done right and with care there will be trees for many generations to enjoy and responsible harvest. The forest is like all other living things on this planet it requires Love and Care to continue. Mike and Mellissa are very good examples of when two responsible people care about the world and people around them. Love you guys keep up the great work! keep the videos coming.

[@jamesbockenstette4332]

This channel is great entertainment. Melissa is the sunshine. Everybody loves sunshine.

[@smoke09able]

Those are some beautiful cherry slabs! Your passion for what you all do is reflected in everyone of your videos. GOOD ADVICE Melissa!

[@lydialas8759]

@Hello Rick how are you doing

[@gsettlemyre]

My passion was my retirement job, over 30 years in the fire and end service! I was told once by a very smart man that if you love your job, take pride in your job and have a little fun now and again you will never have a boring day. He was my very first boss at the age of 14, working at my high school after school and during the summer months. Thank you Charles (Chuck) McCullough!

[@addisongardner1989]

The perfect antidote to constant negativism: Morgan morning cheer. Everybody's starved for positive outlook. Why "Buckin'" is such a force for good. Great work, guys. Keep spreadin' the love.

[@jeffhartmann2469]

SOUTHERN INDIANA HERE: I like it when Piper, Ruger, and you Melissa the “Supreme Allied Commander” of the Morgan family comes in to help/supervise. Piper and Ruger give you moral support.

[@ECP]

Love ❤️ the RESCUE... VERY NICE...

[@gabelanger]

Only Mother Nature can make something so beautiful. Great job guys not letting that tree go to waste.

[@lemuelcasillas7572]

Thank you for your thoughts on negative people. Pursue your passion. If I would have listened to the negativity of “you’re not going to make it, you’ll regret it,” yada yada, when I wanted to join the Air Force years ago I would not have seen the 49 countries I traveled to, lived in Italy for five years and Portugal for 16 months, retired after 30 years, and here I am content nine years after retirement. People can kill your joy, we just need to celebrate and be happy for each other. Thanks for what you do. Enjoy your videos.

[@cws8313]

Melissa i have to say that your insight, ideas and opinions are invaluable to the making of all your videos.

[@jablumensheid]

Hello you all! Love your chanel. Hard work never hurt anyone! Every fall for the last 4 years 20+ men ranging from 18 to 78 years young turn out to cut, split and delivery. 14-16 cord of fire wood for a family that gears with wood. The father is handicap and can no longer cut wood. So we all join in and lens a hand, saw, truck. It's for a good Sat of fun and hard work. This last Oct we had 20+ men, 6 saws, 3 splitters, 8 trucks, 1 dump trailer. No one got hurt and nothing broke! Good day!

[@healyfamily4]

Best part of waking up is watching The Morgan’s with coffee ☕️ in my cup. Easy as a Sunday morning.

[@glenndeery9806]

you said a mouth full

[@OldVermontGuy]

Greetings from No. VT - many a morning the Morgan video is posted right about when I am in the house having a second (or third) morning coffee and it is the high point of many days!

[@Smacker3801]

Amazed at the beauty of the wood, each tree has its own ID just like our fingerprints, I have no problem with what you are doing especially the entertainment we all gain whilst you follow your dream with Melissa whilst doing something constructive....Hey...have a Day!!!!!

[@lydialas8759]

@Hello John how are you doing

[@trappedbyfire1537]

Dear Morgans' Rescue Team: You are doing Great Work, and saving the fallen trees helps: The land, all them that would buy the wood and make high value items from same, yourselves, by creating a well of 'positive energy' that you actually share, and this helps others, who may be trapped in higher density locations realize 'just how this all works.' (Do note that the Pool will also create similar net positive benefits...The storage of water, alone, will establish a very real Benefit....carry on!!!! yaay!!!

[@russellbowman8051]

That is Spectacular Looking Lumber!!👍👊

[@rogerbamatutz1927]

That Cherry truly is beautiful. I watched a guy mill a Butternut and that was also just so nice. From the time I took shop in 7th grade, I've loved the smell and looks of wood.

[@robertherzog2087]

Melissa, I agree that if you love doing something, just do it. If you are doing it for your self enjoyment, you don't have to be good at it. Just keep doing it, you'll get better at it, and have a good time on the way.

[@MKrebs-kl7ud]

I had a local woodworker make kitchen cabinets made from cherry with just a satin lacquer finish- no stain. They turned a beautiful cinnamon in just a year and continued to change for a few years after that. Love the look of natural finished cherry.

[@bearupfarm1818]

Msllisa you’re so rite stick what you like and don’t listen to other people telling you can’t do it and you will succeed. Love your channel watch it every day.

[@josysteinbach4097]

Beautiful piece of cherry , and well said Melissa, words of wisdom, we cannot all love doing the same things and thank god for this , I don’t think some peoples realize how much work and dedication is put in the channel,I don’t have the biggest piece of land but it keeps me busy all day long now am retired ,keep up the good work 🥰👏👏👏👍🇮🇪🇫🇷🐸

[@bduff5004]

Mike Great log. I love PA cherry. Just a suggestion when you have beautiful lumber like that if you draw or paint a triangle on the butt ends the woodworker can pull the boards in order of the way it came off the tree. Makes bookmatching the grain so much easier and nicer for their projects.

[@OldVermontGuy]

Great suggestion as these are prime woodworker candidates!

[@Adrianajessy]

Thaks for the advice! You guys R awesome, !

[@gregnewlin1074]

Who is this absolute zero uninformed person? You only take dead falls, and normally only dead Standing wood for what you use. I live in south central Pa. We hunt an area the state had contracted for clear cutting 5 years ago. Today the number of young trees growing in that area make it impossible to walk through. I hunt an area cleared 15 years ago and there are so many volunteer cherry trees growing in that area still make it tough to walk through. But the wildlife loves it. You go ahead Mike and Melissa you two are very good stewards of the land you own and manage. Keep up the great work. Beautiful log great piece for a mantle over the fireplace.

[@jerrylittle8922]

That Cherry was very beautiful wood. Good to see it didnt go to waste. 🇺🇸

[@douglynch8442]

Beautiful wood! Great that you were able to rescue it with the winch. Keep doing what you love, and thank you for doing it!!

[@billstaudt2378]

Gorgeous Cherry wood. Great rescue. Ignore the haters. you explained up front it was a fallen tree. I love the positive commentary on doing what you love and are good at. I am a musician and a beekeeper. retired and enjoy gardening,hunting, fishing. the list goes on.

[@scottshook2695]

Hey guys You are so right about finding a job that your good at and enjoy. I was just talking to my wife this weekend and said if she isn't happy with her current job she needs to find her passion and set a goal and timeline to do what she loves. Life is way to short to just exist and not enjoy.

[@troywood5686]

Passion has been my passion for quite a while now. That is, recognizing and valuing other peoples passion for the good of all of us. That is why we all watch. That is why we all connect with you. Never stop.

[@jerrymiller9700]

What an awesome couple be nice to have a wife or partner like you got Mike God bless you folks

[@eddieking1501]

Great advice the King family loves you guys. Keep up the good work.

[@charlieb1613]

Well y’all won me over! PIPER! What a wonderful breed of dog. My wife and I absolutely love our golden. She’s our first golden, had we know how gentle, loving and calm they are we’d have had them long ago. Our girl is like a daughter to us, we love this dog to death. Your dog is darker than ours, wonder why.

[@billsteinkamp4159]

We want to see Hunter more, even if it is taking him to pick out his drive up food. We love you Hunter. Great parents

[@augustreil]

I agree, love seeing Hunter, but he is shy so...Hi Hunter !!

[@davedowding5883]

Great video again!!! We got to see Mike, Melissa, those beautiful dogs, an amazing adventure with the Morgans, a truly fantastic cherry log magically transformed into absolutely stunning lumber and a bunch of thankful viewer comments (sane one). I won’t be the same the rest of the day thanks to our dear Morgan family in PA! My prayers go to heaven the Morgans remain just who the are and are able to continue to show us a couple thousand (at least) more videos like this one! Melissa, your (too few) words on being passionate about the things we love to do was so well said. You said it with all your heart! Thank you. You are a gem of the rarest kind. Y’all Have a Day form Central Texas.

[@lydialas8759]

@Hello Dave how are you doing

[@BirdYoumans]

Love your passion for purpose Melissa. I'm 75 and have played music all my life because that's what I was put here to do. If people could only find their passion and get good at it, they will never work a day in their lives. You will learn to make a living at it if you work hard and get good at it, though I use the word work lightly. For those that place importance in what the Bible says, one good verse is proverbs 20:5 - The purpose in a man's heart is like deep water, but a man of understanding will draw it out. Love your vids!

[@BP-dc6ps]

Just happened upon your channel and boy am I glad I did! This is some of the most beautiful cherry wood I’ve ever seen! I’ll forever LOVE working with cherry lumber. Such a beautiful, rich and distinct look to it. Fantastic video.

[@nickywalsh8492]

Hi Morgans ..just thought I'd say hello from Waterford , Ireland...watch all your vids ,so many channels here are better than regularly TV..I don't always leave a comment but always give 👍. Thanks so much for opening your lives to us...

[@lydialas8759]

@Hello Walsh how are you doing

[@danielworsham5609]

That would make a nice looking dining room table. Nice save.

[@tommyordoyne7461]

We love watching what you do and learning from it. Beautiful cherry wood. Have a productive day.

[@iantuck6364]

Great video. It is good that the haters do not get you guys discouraged. That is beautiful wood you milled.

Yes! Keep doing what you're doing. Crystal and I really identify with your daily. Thanks so much and God Bless.

[@hawkeye1836]

Hey Mike, I can see ribs cooking with ah little cherry/hickory, or, cherry/oak, um-um-good. I used to have ah large cherry secretary, beautiful grain, burned up in house fire. I love cherry wood period. Great to look at, great to cook with. Melissa, you're right, You do You, and make the world ah better place !! 👍

[@bykrmom]

And...we love that you share this with us, Melissa. :)

[@blakeloke5586]

Loved your message Melissa! Mike, thanks for rescuing that beautiful Cherrywood. It looks to me like heirloom furniture quality and will certainly be enjoyed by generations to come. Who knows, maybe the carpenter lives in the Mojave desert!

[@dograngler1]

Gorgeous cherry . Nice save... Melissa is right, that's furniture grade. Too nice for the pool GAZEBO.

[@KillingerUSA]

Great message Melissa! That cherry is some good looking wood Mike.

[@KillingerUSA]

@@Morgansunleashed no, no, thank you!

[@russelltruman7606]

You should decorate your mini cabin with the bark covered slabs you take off of your trees on the saw mill. That would look really cool out in the woods.

[@lydialas8759]

@Hello Russell how are you doing

[@russhoppe3971]

You two have a great day and god bless you and your family also ok

[@ronatwell5379]

I usually am eating my breakfast while watching. Enjoy so much watching lumber coming off the mill. As I used to drive across I-76 in southern PA, I wondered what kind of trees were growing on all those hills. Is it a mix of oak, cherry, and maple as on your property? Couldn't tell while speeding down the interstate. Good message, Melissa, about finding your passion and pursuing it. Sometimes, it means working the 9-5 job, and then, giving the rest of the day to your passion, as Mike does. KZbin gives people a chance to enjoy the activities of others from a warm and cozy environment. Thanks for being willing to endure the cold for us.

[@clockman45]

i am glad you are using the down log out . that is good for the forest . and you are not dropping the live trees .doing it that way you will never run out of trees. i like that idea .

That is really nice cherry, good save

[@kevintanner5307]

[@alexoliva2012]

That is some beautiful wood. Thanks for sharing.

[@craigwilton1649]

The reason your videos are so popular, is because we're all jealous because we can't do the same stuff, and as long as your practising good forestry management, you'll never run out of trees....enjoy what you've got...God has blessed you with it😀

[@lydialas8759]

@Hello Craig how are you doing

[@SUNDANCE13581]

Love what the two of you've shared. Used to live in Pa. years ago but now in Utah and would love to have a conversation about your set up. What you've enjoyed, what you'd do over and the cost involved. If you have the time it would be wonderful to talk to the both of you. Have a shop already but have always wanted a mill. Thanks for the good stuff.

[@richardsemione7012]

You guys have got to make something beautiful out of this wood. Love watching you guys. Hi Hunter!

Keep it up Mike. Trees regenerate as long as your are not logging! Love your videos let those trying to bring you down watch something else!

Fantastic, keep up the good work. I see some negative comments. I bet they have never seen a tree in life. I’m in Vermont and I go hiking almost every weekend I tell you it’s beautiful and lots of trees just sitting there on the ground. I’m glad this gentleman made this video so others could do the same. Thanx

[@OutdoorsWithTheMorgans]

Love this, thanks. This channel has helped me as well. I used to go to the woods to get away from people. I started taking a camera with me and quickly realized there are lots of great people in the world.

[@olddawgdreaming5715]

Good morning Mike and Melissa, what a save from the burn/rotting forest floor. Converting to the winching abilities open up more wasted resources for sure. Even those 6’ cutoffs will/can provide some beautiful slabs for building lots of things. You both did a great job, like the song said years ago “ do what you do do well “ can’t go wrong with that thinking and doing !!👍👍 You folks are a prime example and we thank you for sharing with us. You were not handed the silver spoons but you are mining them and enjoying the steps to get them.

I have found my cousins in Pennsy! Seriously though, my family Root's are Pennsylvania Dutch. Fulton county/McConnellsburg area. I'm somewhat happily retired here the Phoenix area, though a widower after our 40 years. I grew up in Indiana and have to say that I don't miss the Slipping, Sliding, Shoveling and Scraping at all. Others think I'm nuts considering the heat we have but I don't let it get to me. Besides, there's the Pools we have here in Sun City Az, the nation's first active retirement community. T-shirts, Short's and sandals are my wardrobe. 😂

[@merlewarnsholz2094]

Mike - Just spotted Absolute Zero's question about what you're going to do when the trees are all gone. You covered that a few weeks ago. Melissa you covered that beautifully in your statements about we can't all do the same thing. I had someone tell me that a few years ago, and then added, "If we all did the same thing, I couldn't stand the competition." Thanks for the great philosophy about life the two of you have, and thanks for sharing it with all of us. The color of those cherry boards are beautiful. Don't know if you can, but it would be super if you could follow that wood from the forest, to its ultimate use. What a great story that would make. Thanks for all you both do. Hi to the girls, and Hunter.
