BIG WOOD thread

Nice maple I did last spring, 28" on the 7910, easily over 40 at the widest point.
If you look at the back side of the notch you can see where the bar made it to from one side.

 

I tried turning a video into a gif file but no ado. Describing it as I have no other photos: I’m standing on a Sequoia tree base that had been cut down and the sheer size of it is massive. Walked all around the stump of the tree, panning out to my car and then back to the tree shows that my car wasn’t too much bigger long or wide than the tree. Likely spanned more than 6 feet. I know “no pictures didn’t happen” but video yes. Even the video doesn’t do much justice....lens weren’t big enough.

 

We’re not prejudiced. We accept videos too.

 

I’d like to but I’d need to set it on YouTube just so you can view it but I’ve not embedded a video there yet.

 

Yeah, can be a pain setting up an account

 

I've tried many times to use a gif that someone else made, to no avail .
If it were me I would post the video to youtube, I have no problem doing that, when my account is working(different topic). But to get a picture just open the video and stop the video on the portion you would like to take a picture of and screen shot it. If you don't know how, google would be more than happy to help assist you with it .

 

Not my pic but I though all here would appreciate it. None of us have anything on this guy!!

 

Bet he’s really a midget.

 

Recognize this one .
Decent sized cherry. Not the biggest I've done by far, but it was a fun one .

 

First picture from the elephant oak. 7910 32" Quickly realized I should be taking Jason up on his offer to bring the ported 394 and 42.

 

Shame you ain’t closer, 9010 with 42”.

 

Biggest one I've been involved with was a trunk of a Maple (IIRC) that was 5.5' across and 11' long...tried to load it with a forklift that would pick over 5000#, no luck...the log was standing up (was supposed to be a chainsaw carving, but was not solid enough) so we backed the dump trailer up to it, raised the bed and tipped the log into the trailer then lowered the trailer bed while lifting/pushing with the forklift. I had a pic of it but unfortunately its on an old DOA phone.
The biggest that I have cut this year, while not that big really, is this Oak log from last night...stump has my MS660/32" bar sitting on it for reference.

This is only one trunk...this was a twin leader tree and the other half was taken off probably 5-6 years ago...the top on this one was cut up last year and yielded a ton of wood! This one made (16) 20" rounds that started at 20" diameter at the top and about 30" diameter toward the bottom. All totaled I'd guess this tree made 3, probably closer to 4 cords of wood!
