    Yep, 36" bar. Tree was 41" DBH. Made a heck of a crash when she hit.
    Toy shopping has been tough lately. Finally some stuff coming back on the market though. I got sidetracked buying a tiny house for our hunting camp for a minute too.

    Saw about a 40+" one out at the highway at the office to the Great Smoky Mountains park today on my way through. An open grown one not super tall and more limby.

    Yep. Stuff I learned in boy scouts and reinforced as a Biology major. Beech and oaks in the same family is a unique one that many don't realize.

    I like having shoulder season wood that I can burn the coals down with. I don't turn down wood like this.
