Everytime I see these I want to do one of two things 1) move out to the country and build my own sawmill 2) drive to Matt's house and help him..lol

Your enthusiastic delight in the figure, spelting, curl, colour, etc, with each slab cut ~ one of the main reasons I watch this channel.

[rhondasweeney]

This is one of my most favorite videos ever. The art that each log displays. Thank you for sharing 👌 😊❤ Thanks for saving the baby Pine tree!

[DonaldWight-xu]

Kudos to the cameraman. He got doused with water and still kept the slab in the scene.

[CraigBrownBackyardGardener]

I have been following you for a long time. You are so knowledgeable and skilled at what you do. Be safe

[markhopkins]

Thank you Matt, for your efforts to entertain and educate, but mostly for your delightful personality. I hope you're always this happy, laugh at yourself, laugh at your saw and just generally, your laugh and smile. How fortunate are your wife and children to have this overwhelming, positive influence to grow with!

Mother nature knows how to dazzle with patterns and colours. Nice work and a real treasure.

You are a delight to watch Matt. I just appreciate your excitement about what happens in a trees life and how those pressures cure the tree to something not normally seen by someone not really paying attention. Lol

The detail you go into is unreal! That color shift and figure reveal were mesmerizing—it's like the wood came alive. I can’t believe how that hidden spalting and grain structure emerged after all that time. Truly awe-inspiring work here. Anyone else blown away by the transformation?

Watching you transform a five ton log into beautiful planks for furniture is fascinating, Matthew. Thank you.

[TR-rzxt]

Lovely to hear you chuckle again young man... keep doing what you're doing! 🥰

[FernRiverDesigns]

Crazy to think how many monsters like this log never see the light of day because of what it takes to move, mill, dry, finish etc. Matt going above and beyond to ensure these figure globs see their full potential. Love hearing your enthusiasm and excitement milling this kind of material, Matt. You're a big reason I started milling wood myself. Hopefully you get in some more milling this season before it's cold and miserable!

I haven’t watched Matthew in a while. I missed his chuckle.
And the filming is wonderful.

[amymaki]

Your enthusiasm for natural wood grain is delightful. And you have the Ray Romano accent. Very entertaining. Thanks!

[jasonxie]

I am amazed with the whole process. The expensive machines, getting the log, cutting & enjoying the cut slabs. Matt shows the joy & amazement I would have if I could do it.

[ypaulbrown]

Best part of video was saving the seedling…thank you Matthew !

[KirbyGulbrandsen]

I lost you for a few years and I found you again. I watched you in your old house and through your move to the new house. Including the addition you and your friend did together. That’s a Beautiful tree, continue to make these videos. I would love to see you make a conference table or a big dining table and I mean BIG. Watching from Panama City Florida, USA. 🇺🇸🦅 !

[northvegassailrabbit]

Nice to see people enjoying what they do.

[TheYaegerjeusmc]

Love seeing you in action Matty! Keep up the awesomeness!

[jakesells]

Amazing slabs! I love that you took the time to save the little pine tree. Give us baby pine tree updates please. 🙂
