Biggest oak I’ve seen in a long time

I got three full black trailer loads of logs, main log going for railroad ties

Likely a pick up load of saw dust till I get it processed

 

That is a big tree for sure. Too bad the main trunk could not be milled for something a little nicer than railroad ties. But they need railroad ties too.

 

That was a big'un!
Looks healthy, scared homeowners?

 

It was pin oak so I don’t think it’s good for much else, other than firewood

 

It had a fair amount of deadwood, and had heavier growth towards those apartments, so they just decided to have it removed

glad the ground was frozen

 

Nice.


They still building railroads?

 

Just the way I like em! It’s a monster.

 

What was the rope attached to? Was it used to pull it over or just as an insurance policy?

 

You's ain't neber gonna be able ta burns all dat big tree! Best gives me da address so's I ken come gets me ah trailer full er two and saves hit from rottin'!

That's a really nice scorea well done!

 

It was tied to a big loader and mini loader linked together. I think of course wedged and tree jacked on back side. But it was on the ground when I got there. They texted me picture they took before dropping.

 

Good insurance then.

 

That is a biggun! Pin oak not the most pleasant smelling of the oaks, but great firewood. Any metal/staining from metal found in the trunk?

 

Will let you know when I process

 

That's a nice one, straight trunk. Lots of firewood in the loads you brought home.

 

Got one pile cut up today, two to go.

also picture of wedge with two saws with 20 inch bars

 

Everyday.

 

Does the “U.P.” in your avatar stand for the other big class 1 by any chance?

 

I don't know what you mean by "the other big class 1"

 

Michigan upper peninsula. Not Union Pacific.

 

Ah
