    Dang! I had a few chances like that, took a pass. Recently 40” plus rounds of Oak. Too much stuff that’s easy to cut and split to chase the massive stuff like that.

    I think a chainsaw carver should nab it. I see the hand of God in there. Gotta be easier than making fire wood out of it.

    I'd do it in a heartbeat !! 59" bar and can borrow a 72". Could make some nice tomahawk targets for the scout camp out of that.

    That’d be a good candidate for an afternoon and a pound if black powder

    You'd have to pay me very well to tackle that thing. Takes too long to get a decent pile of splits.

    Not me bro. Too many knuckles for my taste. Would be an interesting exercise trying to get it on the trailer but still NO!!!
    I have a chainsaw carver I follow on FB. Sent it to him. He said Thanks but no thanks. ;) Shame really, I think that would be one of a kind carving material.

    That's certainly a project for someone who likes a challenge and has the toys to take it on.
