Nice job Scotty. I look at those cut ends and see so many different colors in the grain. Too bad there is junk in the tree as I can imagine that being slabbed up could fetch some nice coin, especially furniture building. There is probably lots of good turning wood in there too. The age of the tree would be half the story in a finished piece.

I cut some big burls off of the tree, maybe I'll box them up and ship them to a guy I know up your way......

Scott, do you have a "Port-a-Power"? The expanding wedge is a handy tool. On that piece you have mostly cut with metal, you might consider splitting off the portion of the round you have cut for better viability.

If you were to mount a winch on the top rail, (braced/reinforced), at the front of you trailer and set an anchor point in the bed of the trailer, you would be able to use the winch to roll those big sections up on the trailer with one hand while holding a cold beverage in the other. Your too young to get a hernia.

I was wondering about that. A small front end loader would make short work of those big rounds.
