Sometimes you need to walk away

This one didn’t come home with me

 

Wuss.

 

If I brought that home my splitter would pack a bag and leave.

 

Wow. That would make an incredible table top. You’d need a really big mill though. Out of curiosity, I see “police” on the truck bed. Care to elaborate?

 

I was there getting limbs and that guy was there. I don’t know him, but I think he does rollback services for police wrecks or something

 

Looks like a bunch of burl-type growths. I’m guessing it was taken for that reason?

 

It was going. some of the limbs I got were gamey. Was dark by the time I got home but I’ll post a picture when I process

 

Smart move. Thats a biggun for sure. Drop it at jrider's. Hes not too far East of you.

You wouldnt wanna chunk it up for the boiler?

 

Nah, that chunk probably weighed 8k, I’d be noodling that thing all day. I think that guy either had a mill or was taking it to one. Hopefully they can make something out of it

 

There's no metal in that. Nope.

 

Ha ha. I was thinking the same thing.

 

I've seen Greg swing a maul, that wood would be splits within the hour!!

Splitter....Wuss!!

 

Hey man I thought we were friends!!

 

Thats why i was i was sending it your way!!!

Have you ever chunked up anything that big?

 

Guy that took it down had a 395 with a 48 inch bar and from what I could see at the far bottom he needed 7ft of bar. But a true diameter, maybe 3 feet up trunk I would guess it was 6 ft

 

Did you get any of the wood from the rest. With a trunk that size it mustve been quite a tree.

 

With friends like that....
I have and I hated every second of it. Nothing but a giant time suck and the splits look like crap.
