I worked at a wood shop 30 years ago and we had a 36” wide belt sander . Back then it was $5.00 a pass if you brought your ruff cut or glued up boards for table tops . Some of that could be ripped and glued and it would be a amazing. We made all of the table tops for Pizza Hut USA,lab tables for Cornell . Loved the smell of the wood . Have a good day ,thanks for sharing this.

How wonderful you've found treasure in that old log! It's refreshing that folks like you save this lovely wood. If you sell it, or work it yourselves, I'd enjoy seeing the process and finished items. Please ask your buyers to record some of their processes. Well done, and not the least boring! ☺

Beautiful equipment lovely team you and your.wife . So nice to hear a man's lady laughing out loud for a change xxx. Instead of a cold ugly attitude . Keep up the good work you two . I have 5 grown daughters all over 21 , hearing them laughing and happy brings me instant joy .

I haven't worked as a wood butcher for several years now. That is some beautiful wood though. We got a lot of our wood in Southern Missouri. Most of the wood we used was cedar we scavenged from the area around Table Rock Lake. That made some very fine pieces. I loved the aroma of the cedar while working it with the various tools .

You know,I wonder after reading those snide comments why anyone could be so uncouth as to belittle a pair of young people who are at least trying! You two just keep on doing what you are doing.

You said it, some like it, some don't, I loved it thanks for the video excellent camera work

I made furniture with my dad when I was a young person. I love the smell of saw dust.

I too, waited, to see the inside of 'ugly schtick', but, I tell you what. It was good to hear you 2 chit chatting and having some fun. I love to hear couples enjoyin each others company, especially while working. Ya did good!

The quilted maple or flame which that piece had costs a fortune also spalted timbers have a huge up-charge when they are sold to guitar builders. When they are polished and lacquered the grain pattern 'pops' and looks amazing. Just a guitar neck blank can cost $350 if it is figured. Flame is the most beautiful when finished:)

Videos like this help me respect and admire the skill and hard work of wood workers!

I saw kingfishcutting.I saw maple tree cutting.I eat kingfish and also maple syrup.I enjoyed giggles and backpainy work.It reminded of my mother in childhood riping off skin of tree logs through iron knife make a pile bring it home on head from a long distance with sawdust for cooking and hot water bath in rainy season when cooking gas was a luxary of few.Gods grace and moms blessings great thank you to all.

Fiddle back is a name or curly soft maple used to make violin worked in a log yard for 25 years in the upper Michigan. Lots of birds eye and curly soft

Treasure the wood as natures gift and how can you not treasure that young woman with that incredibly wonderful laugh. Thanks for sharing.

This is a beautiful & amazing machine!

I love watching craftsmen do their thing. You can tell when someone knows what they are doing. And this guy does. You can learn a lot from watching these guys work. Great video.

This video is excellent! Charley and Sarah, with or without the theme of a quaint and peaceful everyday joint interest, it will lull you into a state of desire that everyone longs to have in a relationship! You can just feel it, as it reminds you of one of your own past relationships, or just a fleeting desire to obtain! Thank you for sharing a glimpse into your life! Stephen Church

A hundred years ago my uncles worked in a sawmill (until they saved enough money to go to Detroit and work in the auto plants). I don’t think the love of wood ever left them.

AMAZINGLY VERY VERY INTERESTING TOO WATCH THIS LOGGER/TREE SURGEON AT WORK. WHAT GREAT TOOLS HE'S USING TOO CUT THE WOOD PRECISELY. 🖒

It's videos like this that helped me get through the pandemic and home isolation.

My grandpa was a Sawyer. Had many mills set up as they moved. I love wood patterns. Love the forest faces hidden in the wood.

Thanks for sharing I enjoy your videos never know what a log holds in side I turned a 150+ year old black walnut from slab off friends family farm found mini ball from civil war in side a bowl I was turning from blank left it inside bowl !

This is therapy working with wood and I enjoyed watching. Got some great toys getting the job done. Thanks

Some people cant live without finding something wrong with every thing. He did a good job

Second & Third cut or slice, look good for a coffee table. Great job.

That young man is very strong! I’d be on the ground if I even tried to lift one of those logs!! Being a 76 yr. old grandma, it would be a bad thing to try. I’m very impressed with his strength...

I love wood! Seeing what it looks like under the rough exterior. The grain, the knots and gnarls. It's like refinishing old furniture, when you get the black varnish stripped, it's always a surprise what's under it.

I like watching anything like this cos you don’t get to see how it’s done otherwise, love it, thank you,

Nice set of toys you got there. Great Vid . Just to let you know , those wriggly lines at 29.13 on your maple board , are called "Flames".

Wow.. Charlie you sure know your way around that machine. Reminds me of my X with his backhoe. So exciting to see what each cut will bring. Like cutting into a rock with hidden gems inside. No two cuts are the same. You have the best slab cutter I have ever seen. The Cadillac of slab cutters (mill) if you will. Nice work!

Watching from Philippines. I love this kind of Work.. I love it!! God Bless

I'm one of the ones who watches this video and relaxes and love the look of the wood and can even smell it. If that's crazy than I'm at the wrong place. Glad I discovered this video. I n these crazy and dangerous times this is what I need and my dogs to rub their bellies while I am at home trying to stay away from the sickness. Thank you for the therapy Charley and Sarah.

As Charlie is cutting the log into slabs my brain was busy thinking about all the wonderful ways to bring out the best wood grain in each slab. One of the things I would do with the pieces that have “holes” in the cut is put a clear appoxie in the holes to fill them & then, if it was going to be a dining room table, build a frame around the entire slab to make it the size that I would want to make it, once it was completely dry, I would then put lacquer on both sides of the table/coffee table & allowed to completely dry. Once that is all done, I would get it readied for the stand before I mounted the top for its first construction to the final product. Once I have made sure that it is completed, I would then either deliver it whole to its new place or dismantle it to be re-assembled at the home. If it isn’t going to be dismantled before moving it, I would consider using silicone where the stand meets the table top so that the stand becomes more stable & less likely to come apart.

Thick doggone slabs. Would love to make a bench out of one of those. Beautiful wood. Thanks for the great video.

Not quilted, Quilted maple actually has the appearance of quilting pattern. What you have is worth much mores. It's spalted or highly figured maple, worth a considerable amount for furniture and musical instruments.

It’s good to see real people working together having fun and just remember happy wife happy like keep up the great work love your show Paul Australia Australia 🇦🇺

Off topic lol but I love how Charley still makes Sarah giggle like a school girl who has a crush on the cute boy and at times the way he looks at her. A great pair for sure! Nice work guys!

Thank you for sharing,,that was so relaxingly therapeutic. Really enjoyed watching.

This is gorgeous! Would love to see an acrylic topped table with this !!!

What a fantastic work! And what fantastic machines! Congratulations! Christian

Y would anyone give a thumbs down. Simply mavalis. Great job

Thank you for sharing this video. You guys are adorable.

It's funny but that last partial piece he lifted off to put on the pile looked strangely like it was in the shape of New Hampshire! Turned upside down it would have resembled Vermont I guess! TY for the video. I found it both therapeutic as well as so relaxing I began falling asleep, Nice! [and I agree with those who thought pieces of that log would make very nice table tops!]

The wood quality os good except for the rotten parts maybe.it could be nice for a carved/designed wall panel or a solid door...I imagine the smell of fresh wood in a sawmill. When I was a kid I used to gather wood chips from the shop , put it in a big bowl on the table in the living room and spray perfume on it.the mixed smell of wood and perfume was lasting and relaxing...I got hypnotized watching this video i feel relaxed and sleepy now.

I loved this video. My great grandfather use to make tobacco sticks that hung tobacco on back in the old days. He had a God given ability to put his arms around a tree and pace around it. By this he could tell how many tobacco sticks that tree would yield. He was well known and sought after for that. For those who do not know tobacco sticks were used to tie tobacco on that was harvested from the fields from which was made cigarettes, cigars, snuff, and chewing tobacco. etc.

those are nice beautiful pieces of wood cut logs for table making!!!

I grew up on a farm and love country lifestyle.

Now I see why my brother in law bought his own sawmill, I saw the patio and covers he built from the logs he collected from the California wild fire areas that allowed wood to be harvested. It looks like a very good way to pass the time and save a whole lot of money and make a few bucks selling wood to craftsman.

I would be so nervous to upload a video of myself working to Yourube... this guy did a fantastic job! Kudos to him for having the guts to show his work in action! I learned a lot from this video 👍👍 Thank you much

I swear I could smell it while watching this. I grew up with my parents home right next to the old fashioned saw mill that my grandpa ran. I loved knocking down the saw dust pile as a really little kid and as I got older I was the slab girl. I loved that saw mill!

I used to work in a very large saw mill / wood products plant. I was a lumber puller after the wood was dried and planed and trimmed. Those 2x 12x 20 ft'ers were hefty. It takes a man to work with lumber. Hardest job I ever had. Short stacker was the worst.

Enjoyed your video. Such a ugly rotten log turned out a couple nice pieces.

I have the same baby monitor. I can hang it from the top of my mid90s cooks Mill. When the kids are asleep, it’s time to mill!

I enjoyed it. My grandfather had the old time back the day kind with belts and a giant saw blade. He made a many boards.

Sarah and Charlie thanks kindly for sharing your video I really enjoyed the watch relaxing and interesting 👍🏻keep on being happy

The one man saw mills they have now are fantastic

I was looking for a good bar. Good one, you got me.

I watched it all. Waiting to see what each piece looked like. Living in Calif Im used to termites and thats what that debris looked like to me. I also like rocks and slicing them. Loved that cool machine

This is so interesting! Now, can those boards you have cut be cut thinner? There are some beautiful cuts that would look gorgeous finished, but I would think they need to be cut thinner than you have just cut. I guess it comes down to what purpose the wood is to be used for. Fascinating!!

I love hard work. I could watch it all day. Thanks for the video.

You are dry efficient, and good sawyer. Years ago I operated a Wick mill, we sawed up a log, 12 ft by 24 long, with 2 circular blades, made 4x6 door materials,. You do a fine job with a bandsaw, Bry

Enjoyed it. Thanks for posting.

That’s one hell of a saw. To cut without walking at a specific feed rate is key I would suspect. Nice!

😯😯😯 Wowww..I love ur work, Charley.. That machine made life so easy.. 🔥🔥🔥 ❤️❤️❤️ Take care of urself.. 💪💪💪

wow the imagination just runs thru your mind with every piece of wood u pick up & pile it away its like each cut is a new awsome creation i like it

I love work, I can watch it all day. Seriously it's interesting to watch a craftsman at work.

That would make a nice bar top!

I’m glad I found y’all ! I am learning about it ty

This is so satisfying to watch! Love it!

Was it just me or did anyone else want to see each slabs grain? Those slabs with the rotten places would look great filled with acrylic. Thanks for the video please show us more of the slabs grain 😎

That's beautiful work there my friend. People are doing that epoxy resin fill in the knots or in this case the rotten spots. I've got a buddy here in Alabama that has a sawmill, he cuts a lot of azobe wood. Talking about dulling a blade. He's in the biz of sharpening blades also. Highly recommend him for that.

very nice love see the wood after it cut. Great job on the cutting.

I love watching these. It's a peak into the gifts of nature that we might otherwise not get an opportunity to experience! So, thank you!

Beautiful coffee table and other things awesome.

Beautiful wood and it’s very nice that you are doing this for a friend. Hopefully for a fee. That kabuka is not cheap as for the labour. Good job!

I haven’t seen anything but beautiful wood grain and a bug running for it life.

Beautiful maple! Nice video!

I really enjoyed watching this and learning something new. It must be fulfilling work.

Good work. Good machinery. Well filmed. Thank you. Subscribed.

You need a gait belt. Lifting those thick slabs hard on your back. Be careful. Sometimes the damage not realized for years later. Take care. Thanks as it was relaxing to watch you work!

So fascinating, my dad use to cut slabs with a tractor, belt drive table circular saw. Was always scared around it but fascinated by how it was done. Wood smells good when being cut and all that slab wood to use in Woodstove

I just happen by and found it very entertaining. I remember my dad telling me, he had and ran a portable saw mill back in the Thirty's!

that would make beautiful coffee table or picnic table

SO IMPRESSED WITH THAT MILL !

Wood is a wonderful material, full of surprises, full of life.

Thanks for sharing it was really relaxing to watch and there were some really nice pieces of wood too..

Spalted, Spalted is the word. I enjoyed the video.

Wow what a awesome work the beauty of a log bringing nature wonders back to life for people can see what a awesome job to have

As a Arch Designer, I see pretty Dining tables, headboards, doors, etc. so pretty!

Like your style - GO BIG -or go home. Great machine!

Kind of interesting. Thats a real fine machine. I have always liked the many lives of wood. First life is a tree. Second life is an old TV cabinet. Third life as a book shelf being repurposed or like my fish tank stand. But the beauty of the wood lives on.

I think I enjoyed the playful banter between him and his girlfriend/wife along with the curiosity of what they would discover with each cut and a little bit of fear hoping he wouldn't get hurt with that sharp blade. 😨

I just cut down a huge maple tree in my back yard and have several huge trunks laying around. I wish I could give them to you, but I live in OK.

Loved every moment. Great to see what goes on in your pert of the world. Loved the machinery. Wish I could see the End creation of the wood.

That was cool! Thank you for sharing!

I loved watching the video it was great to see the process.

This was really cool. Thanks for sharing.

The title caught my eye and I watched with baited breath to see the big unveil............ still waiting, sorry I seem to have missed it.

So nice and relaxing. Watching you do all the work! 😂😂😂

It's cute. He is shy!
