This half of a white oak is on my list of things to do - Probably one of the harryest I've ever done. She's down over a pretty steep bank, my pic doesn't show it but it bridges from the bank to the flat ground, maybe 10 ft of daylight under it, for 40 ft of it's length. At the butt end, you can just see a Homelite I set there for scale. It's a good 3 ft dia., roughly 25 ft to the first limbs, another 30 or more to where I'm standing, then 40 ft of crown behind me. It's all gotta go up the bank, as there's no [easy] way to get a machine down the bank, just too steep. I'd like to get a couple of sawlogs off the butt, 8 footers probably. The rest will be firewood. If we don't get snow, I'll get started on it, tractor with the 3 pth winch to pull everything up the bank, maybe a snatch block hung in one of those good trees to get some lift on it. More to follow......
My wife on the otherhand............ well, she did just get a digital camcorder, maybe we can get a video of some of this coming up the bank. That'll be exciting, huh?
