How to Make Appalachian Lumber

Ever wonder how Appalachian hardwood becomes usable lumber? In this video, I take you from forest to sawmill—starting with felling black cherry trees, skidding logs out of the woods, and turning them into usable lumber. Watch as I mill 4x4s, 2x4s, and 1-inch boards, showing the full process of making Appalachian lumber right here on the farm.

This is real DIY sawmilling, self-reliance, and homestead living—no big crews, no fancy setups, just hard work and Appalachian grit. If you’ve ever thought about cutting your own lumber, this is how it’s done!
