Frontier OS31 vs a 1,500 LB Cherry Log… Did It Survive?

I took on a massive 1,500 lb black cherry log and turned it into usable lumber for the farm… but not without a few challenges along the way.

In this video, I’m running my Frontier OS31 sawmill to break down a 23” diameter, 10.5 ft long black cherry log into:

9 – 4x4 posts
2x4s
1x12 boards
2x2s

All of this lumber is going toward building four new goat feeders here on the farm.

I also milled a red oak 6x6 gate post, so this video is a mix of real-world sawmill work and practical homestead building.

This is what small-scale sawmilling is really about — turning raw logs into something useful.
