Jeff Brought Another Monster Walnut Log from Ohio | Sawmill

[@weibullguy]

37F, sunny, coffee in the belly, Matt Cremona's inspiration in the brain. Time to head out, get that fire going, and throw some sticks on the mill. Gonna be a good Sunday.

[@jamesh.maloyjr.6940]

I really liked those thick walnut slab they would make a great cutting board. Thanks Matthew.

[@stevenhorgan1046]

Thank you so much. The video, as always, is full of knowledge that is passed on to many.. Regards are sent from Yorkshire. Steven.

[@thatmaker4727]

A tisket, a tasket Matt in a yellow basket ... we all want a telehandler to build our buildings.

[@raymondelmore8903]

I sometimes think I might be a little simple-minded, I never lose the fascination of seeing what the next cut will look like.

[@adammarsh6729]

When I heard Portage County Ohio, my head perked up. I live in Portage County Ohio. Lots of big trees here. Some local knowledge, Kent, the town I live in here in Portage County, is known as “the tree city”. Also, Davey Tree has their head counters here in Kent and was also founded here. I have several acres of forest here on my property and mostly made up of black cherry trees. I’ve used a few trees to make some tables and thinks but never had much more than my chainsaw to use. Would love to have a nice like you have. Thanks for sharing the great content Matt&

[@joelratchford2235]

Growing up in streetsboro my dad and I used to gut the giant oaks and maples at the ends of people’s driveways for firewood and slab them on our homemade mill for projects around the house. If you have something you want slabbed have you looked up redgate sawmill in shalersville?

[@aurtisanminer2827]

There are some really cool trees down in the lower 48’s!

[@pamelaharrison3196]

The wood is so beautiful

[@underthebluesky92]

So nice to see a quality downed tree go to good use, thank you for repurposing the tree for furniture rather than fire wood.

[@bigburlymikesmswoodworking]

Those massive voids in that walnut log could make for some very interesting table tops. Been loving the home improvement series, but it's always great to see a new slabbing video.

[@OldsmobileCutlass1969Va]

If it were mine, I would use some epoxy with some fiberoptic lights in the void to accent it.

[@doubledarefan]

Yes. Lake tables could become the new river table.

[@merrickchambers5961]

Vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv V V V V V V

[@bay9876]

Slabbing a tree is indeed just like a box of chocolates and truly, you never know what you are going to get.

[@greatitbroke]

You could make a beverage tray in the middle of those slabs. Like a beer pot to fill with beer bottles and ice. Would be a lot of fun. Or for wine bottles.

[@garyknable1155]

Door fronts on those small ones such a fun tree

[@167curly]

I can see some beautiful dining table tops and a few occasional tables from those smaller bullseye pieces.

[@taramartin6117]

Those voids have such potential for river or "lake / pond" tables.

[@alanblasczyk1779]

Really beautiful walnut slabs. Lovely for some future Projects.

[@jimmowers7675]

That’s some beautiful wood slabs. Thanks for sharing Matt. God Bless.

[@tayro7265]

That stump will make some awesome drawer fronts or boxes. I may be 6'3" but I never under estimate based on size. You gotta love the grain on that stumpy one.

[@mauriceryton]

You need to make some metal wedges that slide on the cross member’s of the saw bed. Drill a hole in one side, weld a nut in place and use a bolt with a piece of rod welded on for a tightening handle. That will hold these amazing logs in place.

[@dannyhughes4889]

Cremona in Italy was the home of some of the most famous Violin Makers of all time. From what I see, Matt's place may be the home of some of the nicest slabs around.

[@Jammer.1]

Those would make great river tables with browns & reds or dark blues with metal flake !

[@michaelwillcutt2619]

Walnut is a dense wood very beautiful wood

[@barriesmith3489]

Always a surprise when you cut into a loge some are truly beautiful

[@bigsabertoothbunny5986]

Nature is amazing, I love these videos of seeing what the inside of the trees looks like

[@samuelluria4744]

Well, your famous positivity certainly knows no bounds, that's all I can say....😄😄

[@DrivingWithJake]

That would make an amazing epoxy table! Would love to get one of those big slabs

[@superymariowest2403]

Absolutely missed these slabbing videos! Felt like an important part of my life was missing

[@ronblack7870]

these slabs are worth a lot of money

[@stewartperry7797]

Very nice!

[@c.a.g.1977]

this is so oddly satisfying to watch!

[@bryanwagner6532]

"Cremona's got the buckets, but we got the hose"

[@brianrajala7671]

Good job, you have accomplished a great deal since I watched some of your early videos.

[@rocktruckrob]

That wood was beautiful … nice to see two year old dry cuts as well… great content keep it up cheers from Deep River Ontario Canada 🇨🇦

[@mackenziemill]

Enjoying this walnut From Kincardine, ontario

[@remmie99]

we need smell on the interwebs for these movies

[@robertcalamusso4218]

Love your Positive nature !! Cool Dude

[@robertcalamusso4218]

Always fun. Always interesting

[@iranmihanemast7032]

17:15 Make a beautiful wide table 5'x10'' size with holes filled with hard resin , you can sale the table more than $10000 or more, add small pieces of same wood on narrow sides to widen to 5' and reduce the resin consumption.

[@hoozleup]

Hey Matt, it's been about 2 years since I saw one of your videos, you dropped out of my feed for some reason. I see you moved house - nice looking property. It's good to be back - cheers from New Zealand.

[@FredMcIntyre]

Awesome stuff Matt! 😃👍🏻👊🏻

[@michaelwillcutt2619]

Aw nothing a patch with some walnut dow pins wouldn’t fill in for a artistic look

[@smileyone4654]

You have biggest tree grain vocab!! Professor Cremona

[@delphane3704]

Hey Matt, even though I have enjoyed the remodel, we are back to the trees..yea!

[@VulpineKING]

voids would make a nice place to put a sink. great custom counter for high-end bathroom

[@soisaidtogod4248]

Big piece of fire wood.

[@stanphilpot9317]

Beautiful grain in that wood

[@aaronmcdonald6959]

Wow! I t turned out to be a massive void! So many beautiful slabs!

[@18robsmith]

One of those little nubs you trim off before making the first real cut looks as if it would make a really great solid body guitar (not so much heavy metal as heavy wood - perhaps a new genera is thus born?

[@CenterStarsChannel]

I prefer the green. I wonder if you could sand and seal one side quickly to preserve it.

[@ryanallen4939]

Had been patiently waiting for a milling video. Did not disappoint. Awesome stuff. I've got a 48inch red maple full of big branch knots. Would love to see it on there.

[@emilevoyer123]

Thanks for the video

[@sylviaknutcecily]

Interesting. I have a walnut Y very similar to that, but smaller that I'll be milling soon. Wish I had a bigger mill, though. I can only do 36", and the wide part of my log Y is over 5 feet. Hopefully I don't have any voids, though.

[@cryzz0n]

Hi Matt - enjoy the videos. Do you ever make "Cookies" from a stump? Grain shows the history of the tree and large slaps "Cookies' make nice coffee tables. I also notice you hand crank the saw. Could you hook the movement to a motor to turn the saw blade? Probably enjoy and feeling the saw move thru the wood? Miss the warehouse videos? Stay safe and keep on making videos.

[@mathewpennington7049]

My dad owns some property in Maryland and we have two black walnut trees that are atleast twice that size. Waiting on people who rent the old 1800 house to move out one day and those trees will be down and milled up.

[@reecewatson773]

When are you going to motorize that big boy saw? Take some of those small slabs and put them into the void hole...

[@davebarbo5162]

Hi Matt. Love your videos. Enjoying the house addition. Have you ever thought of upgrading to a more automated sawmill? Cranking manually must be tough on your shoulders. Also you should wear gloves! Haha. Thanks again for the informative and entertaining videos. Dave B.

[@itzcaseykc]

Some lovely pieces of wood.

[@richardgooding498]

If anyone hasn't seen blacktail studios KZbin channel. You should check it out. He makes awesome tables from slab lumber. Great job Matt.👍👍✌️😁

[@chrisalbrecht7342]

Perfect for an epoxy table, that's what is desirable, the hole in the middle. When dry, worth thousands.

[@sawdustbob6508]

I don't know what it is, but I sure do like your videos. sawdustbob

[@spaight711]

Wonder if it started growing with a low codominant sort of thing and then autografted back together into a single trunk later?

[@williamellis8993]

Wondering the same thing.

[@tedajamian4609]

L

[@franklt35sawyer49]

I had a big walnut with a cinder block in the middle, must of grown through it then engulfed it. Absolutely no sign of it on the bark.

[@glen748]

That slab @ 9:13 is gorgeous with all the sapwood around the bullseye of heartwood.

[@donclay3511]

Out of that small one, you could make a dresser or toy box for little kids that could be a dinosaur skeleton.

[@marcopolo5365]

Set up a water hose Matt

[@thedjkay]

Is there a noise isolated used? I mean it's amazing how you both standing in the wild and it sounds like you are on a studio or a podcast 😅👌🏼

[@mcremona]

Mics with windscreens :)

[@spaight711]

When you stare into the void, watch that the void doesn’t stare back at you…

[@justaguy6100]

I've enjoyed many of your videos, and wondered more than once, have you ever thought of bagging your sawdust? That has a value in some markets.

[@johnnybarbar7435]

Matthew, I'm using an inexpensive mix of Borax and Boric Acid powder in water to treat my slabs before drying. Are you using anything to kill insects and fungus during the drying period?

[@judithfairchild8620]

The slabs figures on the small log remind me of the longhaired pekenese

[@kalanhitchens8782]

Take a shot every time you hear goofy or oddball. 😵‍💫

[@Will-dt3yg]

"That's what she said" :)

[@alvarado....2253]

I would like to see a video explaining how the manufacturers of your sawmill seemed very big to me, something is not on the market and if it is not on the market I ask myself how you found the cutting band

[@smileyone4654]

Wooden boat builders look for crotch grown boards too. Have you ever sold to boat builders?? Just watched video from @tipsfromashipwright used one for breasthook!!

[@sixstringsplay]

Cool

[@rodneyoliver7806]

I sure wish I had somebody that would like to buy all the wood I come across I’ll always get big oak trees big red cedar big walnut trees I sell it but mostly pennies on the dollar I know it’s worth a lot more than I get for it

[@gregbrechelt2295]

Great vids, why have you not fitted a motor and speed control it beats the hell out of hand winding. Those holes will look great filled with resin!

[@tbone9664]

I've never seen so much sap wood.

[@muhorozibb2777]

Would it be so difficult to motorize that crank?

[@drycreek3204]

I could really really use the JCB telehandler ! When can I come pick it up?

[@mauriceryton]

I really enjoy watching these slabs being cut. Those few with the voids have so much creative thinking potential in the right hands.

[@Itspurple13]

My brother has a large walnut tree that he wants removed. You remove you can have it. We are in ohio up near Youngstown

[@aurtisanminer2827]

7:19. They feed em lots of carbon!

[@thomas0753]

How do you keep those Knots from Checking and Shrinking during the drying process?

[@jayroth2784]

Did you make saw would be neat to see some pics of it

[@colddiesel]

Matt do you ever cut any eucalypts. Most of the trees I have seen in the US are biggish but look immature, so would perhaps twist crack and go out of shape because of internal tension?

[@TheFreeride588]

Definitely going to crack and twist. Railroad planted them all over Southern California to use for railroad ties and they wouldn’t work.

[@ericdonnelly5824]

Shame there’s isn’t a follow up on what’s the plans doing to them beauties.

[@eleceabru]

Why pour water over the already sawn part?

[@yumyee2451]

Won't be many trees left soon

[@maximillianzorn6085]

Good thing there were some lightening holes in there. Made the slabs not nearly as heavy as they could have been. Also, could it have been hit by lightening?

[@eduardvaniersel7535]

That's not an HVAC trunk!

[@bobmcnelis3648]

Matt, do you know anyone that buys Black Walnut in Connecticut? I just want the tree down. 35 ft tall, mostly straight.

[@bobcearns5220]

Please close your door. Gotta be a costly repair when you clip it.

[@FriPilot]

So, were you able to build your mill for less than you would have spent on an equivalent Wood Miser?

[@AppleBag1000]

why wet it down after the cut?

[@johnrobichaud2776]

Get into the prime cuts the tenderloins

[@andymanges2784]

Where are you located and do you buy large logs

[@rickweissmann7101]

Nice set up. What part of ohio ya in

[@doriWyo]

"Close to quarter sawn." What does thatmean?

[@drmckinley]

Too bad you can't fill in the hole with sawdust shavings that are created during cutting. Love walnut to work with.

[@OntarioFirewoodResource]

Score and a half. Thats worth a couple nice vacations! 🤣
