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.
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.
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.
❤ 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
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.
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!
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 .
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. 😂❤
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.
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.
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....
That was a beautiful cherry log, Nathan from out of the woods should have cut that into live Edge slabs, and Mark you could have done a really nice table in your shop
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 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.
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.
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 😎🇨🇦🇺🇲🙏
It’s funny how people think that they can tell other people how they do their jobs because they were a low level employee working at a big sawmill 😮just came across the channel subscribed 👍love it 😊

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 .

Glad to have found your channel! Thoroughly enjoy watching this process! 🙂
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.
You guys do amazing work on that mill! Negative comments are just uninformed wannabes who sit on there butts and complain!
cherry is the one wood that will dull a chainsaw in a heartbeat but worth every sharpening when you see the grain
Worked on a mill in my hard, young days! This is food for your soul and sawdust is the topping!🇺🇸👍
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.

I can see jewelry boxes in those cracked boards! Treasure chests! Thank you for showing us all exactly how it's done.
I can smell it here in Wisconsin. I love carving spoons, bowls etc from Cherry. Lucky man. Huge Cherry.
I love stop-sign logs…. Sometimes they even look like a 12 point socket…. Just more fun to see!!!!!
❤ 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
Excellent video, Cale. Wishing your father and all the veterans out there a happy Veterans Day, and thank you for your service. Semper Fi
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.
Man that cherry is nice . One of my favorites to turn . Cheers
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!
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.
Many thanks for another great video!
Appreciate your having the state flag of Tennessee on your mill wall.
Tom... Powell, TN
thanks Tom.
Working ole Eddie today he done a good job enjoyed Mark thanks for sharing
yes for sure Bobby.
There is a natural beauty to wood, plastics, steel or concrete do not even come close.
Was a pleasant video to watch, thank you.
I run a swing blade and saw quite a few 38-48" logs. Really like your videos, keep up the good work.
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 .
thanks Samuel , glad you liked it.
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.
I'll buy this round Eddie. You've earned it!
thank you Dave !
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.
You do a great job with over sized logs.. I am learning some new things I can use on my 30 inch band mill ..😊
Caterpillar redwood log. Just saying mark.
Every time you start on a BIG ONE! This RUclips is enjoyable.
The Eddie getting a workout on this cherry log output. But handles it well. Great video
thank you , this is play to Eddie.
Mark is the man for sure, he's always in the line of fire and never even flinches
You know it’s a big log when you can barely see the “master dog”😂
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.

Nice work on that one Mark. She put up a fight!
Saved the skidder,got the tree,that's a win!! Want to see more of boss man in the woods.
I enjoyed the sawing of that log.
I wish I had some of that cherry for a cabinet build nice looking wood.
Nice mill
and to all the negative comments it’s your log do as you please
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 can hear it in your voice.....well done on sawing that cherry 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.
Chewy earned his keep on that long. Nice looking cherry. Keep it up.
yes he did , a cant hook would have been tough today.
I like the way this guy talks to you and tells you what he is doing!
Wow! that monster log produced a huge stack of good looking boards!
thanks Doug.
Awesome job you made it look easy even with some bad spots on the log
I enjoy watching your videos and to me its very intriguing to me and I never worked in a sawmill
I’m from Israel and I’ve been watch you for years. God bless you
Looks great Marc!
thanks.
Really cool to see you tackle that monster Cherry , great no
Great job not great no, lol
A master class piece of machining
thanks Terrance.
Good work. I just used the same process cutting a pine on my Belsaw. (42 inch blade ha). Love it.
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.
Great sawing Mark.
Bill
thanks Bill.
Hey I love it ,don’t change
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.
Great video!!
Love the sound of the Bus Motor.🏁
yes sir me too.
BOOM!!!! Great job Mark and The Eddie. Sure am going to miss that cherry. LOL. Bet you guys are missing ZZ. Stay safe
God bless
thanks Doug , we sure do miss him.
That’s a beautiful mill !
Lovely superb Nice sawing of monster cherry log.
How often do you have to change your blade???
Looks like a very beautiful log.
It would be some beautiful hardwood that would make wonderful furniture and flooring.
That was a beautiful cherry log, Nathan from out of the woods should have cut that into live Edge slabs, and Mark you could have done a really nice table in your shop
thanks Brian , nice slabs for sure.
Nice setup.
God bless you and your crew 🙏 🙌 ❤️
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.
is the stop sign method just necessity, or is there some other reason to do it?
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.
Loved the video, the cherry looked great (at least until you got to the center…)
Mark that’s exactly what I’m doing
Popcorn and warm cup of Lemmon tea
That cherry 🍒 looks good
Tony
thanks Tony , enjoy the video!
The log is absolutely great looking
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.
Love the stopsigns
One of my all time favourite woods....good to work with and beautiful in the end ...pleasure to watch
thanks David.
Mark, I’m impressed y’all cutting a log that size and the amount of lumber coming from it. Atta Boys
Nice save… only professionals
thanks Eldon.
Muy bueno señor. Alta efectividad. Lo felicito
Great video Mark!!
thanks Dave , you need to stop out someday!
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
😎🇨🇦🇺🇲🙏
Just watched this one again, my favorite video? 4th time.
Who knew watching a log get cut could be so entertaining?🤔😂
You did a good job sure others may think they could do better but are right there
Not I’d want do that for a living but sure do enjoy watching you guys do it.
I like these stop sign cuttings. Greetings and best wishes from the Palatinate Forest 🙂
thanks Daniel , glad you like them.
What is the white stuff on the cherry?
Is that from where the cherry was sitting in the ice cream?
I love big logs like this I love this video ❤
It’s funny how people think that they can tell other people how they do their jobs because they were a low level employee working at a big sawmill 😮just came across the channel subscribed 👍love it 😊
Nice elderly cherry!
Good video Bus Motor Productions
thanks James.
You can not judge a log by it's bark. Great job.
thanks.
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?
A cold one and dark brown pretzels. What a nice way to end an afternoon. Thank you.
thanks Stewart , enjoy!
Sometimes you just have to make the best of what you got. Cherry is funny, I bet some surprisingly nice stuff comes out when used.
yes for sure we did ok on this one.
I DID NOT KNOW CHERRY TREES GOT THAT BIG!
love watchin your videos
