    Close to the biggest tree I have ever tackled. one was approx 44” at stump. 5 trees total, measured stumps for grinding and there is 28’ total for all 5 trees. Big trees ,for me anyway.

    Rolling them onto the 3000# lift gate and holding them with picaroon while I lift them up ! Still a chore with wood this heavy and big. I cut 20”-24” typically but a few of these rounds are closer to the 18” mark. Amazing how a few inches can lighten a round.

    They are all oak. I think someone said Pin Oak. I can tell it is oak but not the best at identifying a sub species. Will make a lot of good wood.

    That will make a lot of good firewood, that's certain. It did look red oaky.

    I thought it smelled red oaky but at the end of the day I will take about anything with oak of any type being my favorite second to Hickory. Only because it is a nice hard wood and I use a lot for cooking.

    Beautiful! That likely is pin oak as pin tends to be darker than red oak.
