    Nice!

    I've always loved the drive home with a full load and the truck squatting

    Hope you're selective of some to put on your smoker! Yummy stuff cherry!
    I know I got an apple tree JUST before it got the rotted out center in the spring but its just rot at this point but still viable as wood, its not crumbling to submission. Id probably still use it in my bbq but that'll be awhile.

    Took 3 of us 3 hours, with chipper being only hydraulics. Then about 845pm and almost home, had this little gem on chipper.

    Oh that sucked.

    But I would say 3 guys and 3 hours was pretty quick work.

    Left part of trunk had some rot and hollowed out sections, but all in all, pretty solid for one of that size. About 28 inch diameter.
