    They average 28" at the butt for all of them...top ones look smaller to me?
    If they are all 28" butts, then my guess is 12,074 net weight.

    If brenndatomu already entered a guess, what's the use of anyone else trying? :doh:

    Yes, the top logs were smaller, next section up on 2 of the trees. I'm sorry I didn't make that clear.
    We have some good guesses. Most are low.

    That makes sense...so the top ones start at 16" and go down to?

    16" on small end, IIRC they were 19-20" on big end.
