    Hats off to you for working this hard during the dog days of summer :tip:Nice (albeit BIG!) log to work with. Lots of noodling fun going on there. Was that killed by beech leaf disease or are the beeches in your area fairing ok still?

    Good idea to roll it. :salute:

    I've used a clothesline hook and a come-a-long hooked to my bumper to roll a big log.

    Thanks buddy! I was definitely spent by the time I ran out of fuel. This tree wasn’t killed by the beech leaf disease. It was a large removal leaning over someone’s house that had the opposite side heavily pruned over the years for line clearance.

    Definitely a trick I’ll have to remember. Nice to get it away from the big bush too making it easier to work on from both sides.

    Ready for splitting. Any guesses on how many face cord it’ll end up being once stacked? C2B5CDEE-7F9F-41F9-B8C1-367CB6657C65.jpeg B12FEF5A-1E0B-4D92-B86D-EF8E245D5E45.jpeg

    I'd guess a full cord and a half. Not experienced with the faces or ricks.
