Thank you Mr. Mark and Crew for blessing us week after week. Hard work and commitment is getting the job done. May you all have a Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year.
Mark love the program. Brought back some old memories of long ago. I am 87 year’s old and grew up on a farm in SC and on the back of the farm my grandfather and my dad had a saw mill that they cut lumber for repairs on the barns. My first job at the mill was off loading the slabs to the slab pile when I was 12 or 13. That back in the early 1940s. Dr. James Quick
Dear sawmill guys. 👍👌👏 Oh WOW! That was a heck of a tree! 🌲Merry Christmas 🎄. I wish you all a nice and good Christmas time with your family/friends. Best regards, luck and especially health.
Merry Christmas guys!!!! I love these big logs!! Your creative and artistic ability to get that much usable lumber from it is just amazing!! Great job!!
Merry Christmas Mark, ZZMark, & Eddie. My blessings for good health. We'll see what the new year will bring. To Mark, ZZ Mark Ed, your families, & friends. I ❤️ your channel. I enjoy your shop shows. I've got a " bucket list" to have shop like Mark's. ( Not ZZMark.) I've been following at the beginning. When the sawmill had no building. This is my 2nd post. 😊😉👍❤️💜🙏🎄🍻🥂🎊🎉🎁
Merry Christmas to you all. I'm a beekeeper and when you took off 12" and 8", I could make 9 full bee boxes. Thanks for your hard work and skill! Jim Braun.
I really enjoy watching your videos and when I found out you are in Pennsylvania, I enjoyed it even more. I was born in Washington, Pennsylvania in 1944, and moved to Wisconsin in 1948 when my father found employment there. Keep up the great videos and I'll keep on watching.
Hey fellas! Just dropped in here while surfing. Really appreciated the "Merry Christmas Greeting" to begin! Thanks and Merry Christmas right back! Wishing you's a great New Year 2023 too! Stay well! Sir Nicholas of Seattle *Cheers mates!* 1.4.2023 5:46pm (pst)
I just returned from a few days away, celebrating Christmas with family and friends. I hope you all had a great Christmas! Nice to have a couple of videos to watch now.
nice job , that, would be a handful for any mill !!! don"t pay attention to the idiots that never GET OFF THE COUCH , but criticize.. they would never get it, till they actually tried to tackle something like that !!!! hats off to them off barer"s to !! awesome video..thanks for sharing your hard work mark n gang ..
To all the whiners - that was a 70 year old white pine, which sprouted in about 1952. White pine does not get much older than that, they fall regularly. It's also the cheapest wood that grows so large. If you're still concerned, plenty of people will give you a log that size for free - if you take down the tree that will one day crush their house.
That was a heck of a cutter. The boards just kept coming. Makes me want to get back into woodworking. Love those grains from pine to walnut, some very beautiful wood.
AMAZING! You guys never cease to leave me awestruck. I kind of think sawing logs is like playing pool. You’re thinking several shots ahead with the aim of running the table. How you figure out what you’re going to do, operate the equipment all while giving a running commentary is beyond me. I love your videos! I do have a couple of suggestions. Call the master dog “Top Dog” cause he’s the biggest. And call the saw “Buzz”. 😂 If more people knew what was involved in the sawmill operation they wouldn’t complain about the price of lumber. Keep those videos coming please.
Merry Christmas to all three of you gentlemen and your families and wishing you and your families a happy and prosperous New Year from Spirit Bear Ranch St Johns Arizona
from the UK : I have enjoyed watching all your videos this year, Mark, Eddie, and ZZ , so Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! I look forward to joining you in 2023!
Thank you for the videos, I have watched many of them and my wife thinks I am nuts for watching somebody cutting lumber but I spent almost 20 years in the lumber industry and I do miss it. The sounds, the smell, the finished product are good memories except for old nasty hemlock. Please keep on cutting.
If this log had been solid - cut green and lightly dried, how much of the outside would have been waste? You're cutting bad stuff off this one and I see ZZ Mark cutting it up, but there wouldn't have been any rot on a green cut log.... Is there a way to use that stuff for lumber? Would you have made thinner cuts to get 1X4 or 1X3?
Merry Christmas to the Marks and The Eddie. I spent most of my life as a logging mechanic on the west coast. Biggest log I personally saw was 14 feet across the butt. That was back in the 70’s. I doubt that any of the modern sawmills could even cut something that big now.
Merry Christmas to the three of you. Mark, I enjoy watching you guys slice through log after log immensely in my retirement. I'm a lifelong carpenter and woodworker, not a sawyer. However when watching you try to pare down a monster like this one and others, I always wondered if a second laser would be helpful. A green one honed in on the top cutting edge of the blade. Then where the red and green laser meet, it would project exactly where the uppermost cut of the blade is in relationship to the placement of the log after rotation.
I like this camera angle from the Oregon end, finally answered my question on where the laser was, switching angles with camera looks like a pro at work👍
We used to call this technique of whittling a large log down is “shotgunning”. Only had to do it a few times as a production sawyer. 54” and 60” circle saws on a Corley 16’ Super Duty. Later switched to a 6’ McDonnough. Snatch dogs made all the difference. Good set up.
Merry Christmas to the three new f you and your families. It was great watching how a log that size is ran thru your sawmill. Thank You for you great sawmilling videos. Stay safe and God bless to the three of you and families.
Happy new yr from down under !! Last month at work we were cutting logs at 5.4mtr long average width of 1.8mtr diameter they were 2 tonne plus logs slashpine …. Was a massive stand of timber

Merry Christmas to you all. I'm a beekeeper and when you took off 12" and 8", I could make 9 full bee boxes. Thanks for your hard work and skill! Jim Braun.
The way Mark calls the sawering process is like listening to the call of your favorite baseball game.
Excellent.

Merry Christmas to all of you. The master dog earned his keep today on that big old log.
I just returned from a few days away, celebrating Christmas with family and friends. I hope you all had a great Christmas!
Nice to have a couple of videos to watch now.
I really like the 2nd camera from that position.
I love to watch your videos just before I go to sleep. The marvellous machine and your lovely accent calm my mind.
Same-same, agree . Funny, 'cause I am a semi-retired machinist who doesn't understand wood - it will not weld, for instance....
Merry Christmas to you guys, and your family's
thank you for the christmas video , I hope you have a wonder full holiday
thank you Marlene , Merry Christmas!
Lovely superb Nice sawing of such a biggest pine log.

thank you , How's things going for you these days?
I didn't think it was going to work at first. A Christmas miracle lol nice work

I got some white pine over 150 years old
That was a heck of a cutter. The boards just kept coming. Makes me want to get back into woodworking. Love those grains from pine to walnut, some very beautiful wood.
Thank you for the video, great job by everyone. Merry Christmas to you all.
Happy Boxing Day to all friends and families both locally and overseas

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all and your families from the UK.
Thank you for the brilliant videos, fun and some gorgeous looking wood xx
Man that log was a booger! Enjoyed the different camera angles. Merry Christmas to ya"ll!!

Would you have made thinner cuts to get 1X4 or 1X3?
Please show a shot of the final stack of lumber from the log.
Best Wishes Mark, Eddie, from down under..for both X-Mas & the N.Y.
I can watch these over and over again, thanks for le@ving them up.
MARRY CHRISTMAS! 😁🇨🇦
Merry Christmas to the Marks and The Eddie.

You're the only sawer I watch. Thank for being here!
I love watching you work the big log's !!

And a Very Merry Christmas right back at ya!
Merry Christmas to the "Bus Motor Sawyers, and your families. Have a great Christmas day. Jon, in Sunny Southern California
Another great video!
Great crew!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
We used to call this technique of whittling a large log down is “shotgunning”. Only had to do it a few times as a production sawyer. 54” and 60” circle saws on a Corley 16’ Super Duty. Later switched to a 6’ McDonnough. Snatch dogs made all the difference. Good set up.
Why is this so satisfying to watch?
Mark you and Eddie along with zz have a blessed Christmas and a joyous New Year
i thought you stopped that far right camera, thanks for bringing it back. Merry Christmas everyone.
Merry Christmas Mark, Eddie, and ZZ.
thanks John , Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas to the three new f you and your families. It was great watching how a log that size is ran thru your sawmill. Thank You for you great sawmilling videos. Stay safe and God bless to the three of you and families.
Good productive sawing to produce some good lumber.
Merry CHRISTmas.
Happy new yr from down under !! Last month at work we were cutting logs at 5.4mtr long average width of 1.8mtr diameter they were 2 tonne plus logs slashpine …. Was a massive stand of timber
What a wonderful video! It's interesting to watch how you interpret each log. Well done 👍
THAT'S A BIG UN, KEEP SAFE AND ENJOY THE SEASON...
thanks Bob , Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas to you and the boys.
Would love to see a brief summary and glimpse of the stack of cut lumber from each log!
Well done and thank you. Happy New Year!
Thank you and Merry Christmas
