This wood turner was drooling all over the screen all the way through this video. I SO hope all that every last scrap of that beautifully figured maple gets into the hands of some talented workers of wood. All those “heal over” areas, crotch feather, and burls were absolutely fantastic!

Because the shape is so awkward and there are so many defects unless he plans on making a bunch of epoxy tables I just don't see the value in milling it into 10/4 slabs. Personally I think it would of been better utilized by milling it thicker and breaking it down into turning blanks for larger bowls and such.

Years ago if someone tried to tell me I'd get such joy out of watching someone cut wood someday I would have told them they were crazy. But here I am loving every one of these videos and drooling over the beautiful wood you come across. 👍

Excellent video Matt!! Please do some follow up videos of how this wood is manufactured into tables, etc. when that time comes. Just amazing!!

The saw is like an orchestra. Matt is the maestro. And that tree and it's logs are musical masterpieces in the form of wood. Bravo gentlemen, bravo!

So beautiful Have missed videos like this and your excitement at each level of cutting.

The 3 color spectrums of the bark inclusions, stained/spalted, and the almost white make for extremely aesthetic slabs, and then they are pretty much 100% figured wood throughout to top it off. AND its hard maple, those are pretty phenomenal.

so glad to see you cutting again and what a log you have to cut, WOW!!!

I love that urban logs like this are now being saved! You do good work.

it never gets old (think I have said this before) the treasures revealed whenever a new log is cut open. This one is massive . great video Matt . thanks for sharing this peace of history , the log.

They have got to be the most beautiful slabs I've ever seen! Thanks for sharing .

That is one big branch ! Awesome looking too. It's amazing what nature can create. Cheers from Sydney Australia 🇭🇲🦘🐨🐨🦘🇭🇲🇺🇸

I've never seen such a variety of figure in a single slab. I wasn't able to get a true appreciation for the size until they were stood up against the building. Thanks for sharing this with us.

What a beautiful piece of wood. I've always loved maple. And its super cool, as an upstate new Yorker, to see it come from a local place.

That is so cool that he sought you out to cut part of a State record tree. The amazing part is the internal abnormalities have added such beauty. Thank you so much for sharing this, what a real treat to see.

Every slab is an adventure of discovery! 🇺🇲🍁

Just found your channel and am thrilled to watch you save these ancient giants of nature. Avoiding the bonfire is a worthy goal.👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

So often this type of log would just be rolled off to the side in a dump, or burned as firewood. Nice to see it being turned into beautiful projects.

I do tree service in upstate ny and I made a sawmill as well because I hate wasteing wood. Wood has value. It gets firewooded or milled.

BEAUTIFUL WOOD! THANKS FOR SHARING MATT. 🇺🇸✌️👍🏻

This is epic! Every cut is going to be even better than the one before it. Really epic! Something you all with never forget. 🇺🇲

Some years ago when I was in the logging business we would leave stuff like this in the woods as junk. Literally tons and tons of it. Now this stuff is making slabs worth more than the lumber we milled from the butt log. If only I knew then what i know now.

Logging is a job harvesting timber. This type of wood has no value there. This wood has other value that loggers don’t get payed for. I’m guilty also. Literally tons and tons of beech yellow birch sugar maple red oak locust tamarack list goes on. Over the bank. These days I do tree service. I got a sawmill and I mill in the fall before winter.

Been logging since the early 90's and the last year I've been out chatting with landowners about the stuff we left in them hallows.. crazy all we left behind

Matt on the saw mill! First vid to watch today. One impressive hunk of wood.

I really enjoyed watching you slice the layers and open up some amazing years of growth of the tree ! Thanks for sharing 😊👍💕💕💕

Tables, countertops, mantels, headboards, epic! 🇺🇲🍁

WOW! Beautiful slabs! Thanks for sharing it tree with us.

Fantastic use of a tree that will now give endless pleasure to those able to see the final usage.

You know it's really too bad the Matt doesn't get excited about cutting wood slabs anymore...lol Never lose that passion and excitement Matt!

I love my coffee with saw dust in it too. Haha. Nice work!!

Thanks Matt and your friends, awesome video.

Sugar Maple is so gorgeous and this one is outstanding!

Hi from an 88 year old guy in British Columbia, Canada. Joined recently and enjoying your entertaining and informative videos.

Thanks Matt for sharing your friend and that really kool milling of that humongous log. This was awesome. Fred. 🙏🏻🙏🏻👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻✋🏻✋🏻

WOW. No other words can describe, so keep it simple. WOW.

Beautiful. My grandpa had sawmills and my dad a carpenter.. soI love wood.

That was an amazing tree…. So enjoyed watching you guy tackle. The sawmill is a BEAST!

What a huge tree , and beautiful grain features !

Only one thing to say. FANTASTIC!

Wow, what a tree, beautiful wood! 🪵👍🏼🇺🇸

Excellent vid. So relaxing watching the cut from one end to the other

Stunning tree limb !

Great to have you back..

That is some of the most beautiful wood I have seen in awhile

The first couple pieces cut once flipped over would make a beautiful resin bar top with seating on the end. GORGEOUS

Super nice material!

WOW!!! Guitar makers will want some of that tree. I saw some "little" chunks fall off that I want for bowl making. That is an amazing tree.

Massive Matt had a 'fun-day'! Nice! Thank you for an amazing video!

As always an awsome log with fantastic color and figure. This from an enormous tree. Thanks for sharing with the sawing community. Grandpa Jack

That is some fantastic looking maple. That will make some beautiful whatever you want to make with it, I could see some fantastic looking tables coming out of it, or even some cool looking doors. Thanks for sharing. God Bless.

Matt that is some large tree to slab up, the figure is great

Matt, another fabulous video. Every one of the slabs could make a beautiful table. I'll bet you received a number of calls from artists around the country who wanted to get a slab to work on.

What a beautiful salvaged trunk. I pleased you are able to salvage such a noble tree and repurpose it. That timber is going be great when it's finished and epoxy treated . I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE REST OF HIS TREE WHEN ITS CUT.

I used to do that with old trees here in Australia untill my saws were stolen.

You didn’t seem excited enough. “Lookaah, lookaaah, lookaaaaah!” What beautiful wood. Thanks for the video

Just one word - "INCREDIBLE" !!

Beautiful job and awesome wood and the way cut!!!

Yes, the actual saw is amazing to see operate.

Best one yet.

lookin' great, stay safe and have a good one...

26 minutes in, I think probably 10 cuts at 10/2 or 12/2 and they aren't even half way through the log. That's a HUGE piece of wood. Also, how in the world did you create the concept of a destination sawmill? It's like Field of Dreams almost. You built the sawmill, and suddenly the wood now comes to you.

My gosh, that is some beautiful wood. Wow.

That last slab would make a fantastic dining room table in a formal dining room. I've seen smaller ones that didn't look that good sell for $30,000.00

SWEET piece of wood. Too much fun with that one.

I couldn't wait to see what you found inside of that thing

incredible stick! Beautiful movement in this piece,

I've missed you Matt. Glad another tree has caught your attention.

Thank God for friends with sawmills. 🇺🇲🍁

Uh uh uh , wow , marvelous just marvelous. Sho nuff

The "look at this" tally is huge on this log!!

Making a M/chn big enough to handle these wonderful old trunks, was a great idea to start with Matthew. I guess folk with the bigger Tree's & Trunk's & stuff have only a few options. I'm a Fender Telecaster guitar fan- & this tree has the stuff of dreams. Great Vid Great post .

I am amazed by the beautiful wood 🪵,man and nature makes a great pair. Great video 📹 👍.

This is a superbe slabs of wood. Nice work Matt. and friend.

Such an awesome piece of Maple. I always hope when seeing these projects, the tree was used in one main project. I know it is very unlikely.

That’s awesome & beautiful wood.

Beautiful stuff.

Pair of wardrobe doors, fabulous.

Amazing stuff!

What a beautiful slab

I have to wonder if the tree had ever been tapped in it's earlier days and if they will find any tap holes when they saw the main trunk. Thanks for sharing with us, Matt ! Excellent video : )

OMG. Some really beautiful grain and patterns. Sure would like to get one of those slabs.

Furniture makers for miles around are going to want to buy this wood. Picture maple 🍁 and resin incredible tables.

That was fantastic, you deserve a million followers

Gorgeous!!

These types of videos are very good and the warehouse videos are good too.

I'm drooling by the buckets here , ...would give a limp my self to have a closer look at this gorges

Wow. Just........ wow!!!

What a 🌳!!! A pity it had to come down but I know you'll put it to good use.

I love how excited you are on every cut.

Really fun and incredible…stay safe

Beautiful lumber.

Great project, epic tree. Not anybody can mill this!

More wood came out of that than expected I think. Just WOW!!!!!!!!

That was absolutely epic! I just took a couple of logs to get slabbed but nothing like that monster 👍

Wow! Size and quality!

@30:09 it looks like a ram skull! I love what comes out of these slabs. Different each time

Man, go back and dig down a little to saw off the bottom cookie on the stump, that would be a nice table.

11:36 IN. glad YOU'RE back! I was so worried!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was just thinking to myself today that Matt Cremona hasn't made any sawmill videos in awhile. Then pop! Here one is! Incredibly huuge log and amazing figure. I hope he left you one slab to make something from.

Just wow for size and the content inside the slabs 😊 Kim in New Zealand
