so how many cords does it take to make a tree like that.

Not sure. Sure was a lot of cuttling though!

I only have 3 logs on the truck.

This is considered a free load of wood where I come from. I know of only2 or 3 guys that'll cut this stuff up for firewood. ( I, sure as hell, am not cutting it up!)

that is why there are six cube saws.

And 36" plus bars! Good firewood.

I saw this thread and some of the huge trees from around the world and I had to show the little pines we cut up here in Maine. I have some pics at home that are of bigger wood but this is the one on my computer. This one is from my spring break in 09, and we where cutting some pines on the farm the old school way with farm tractors with two wheel drive and chains

This guy tells about this snag, on page 165 or was it 164? of the falling thread in the Forestry and Logging forum.

Here it is.

This is the "after" picture.

That is a good looking cut for sure.

I've seen trees like that turn to match sticks and fall into a pile inside there own drip line.

I have a good idea how that sounded, although you just have to be there to get the whole effect.

Doug Fir snags are one my favorites, tied for first with old growth hardwoods like Tanbark and Madrone. There was a time when I would pack a heavy saw half a mile into a canyon, just to fall a Fir snag.

Im "reseting" this thread to see if anyone wanted to see all the AWSOME pics

 

[mitch95100]

its neat to look at all of these again

Yep, glad you bumped it Mitch.

 

[Kevin in Ohio]

Here's one from a few years ago. This beech was right at 6ft at the base. When hurricane Ike came through it blew the whole top out and broke it off 25 ft up. One limb was 3 ft and the other was 4 ft. Saw in pic is a 660 Magnum with 3ft bar. Last pic shows it all split up but we cut the "totem" pole the next year. Wood shown is just from SOME of the top. Ended up having 14 cord from ONE tree. Rings showed it was over 400 years old. Good size tree for Ohio, nothing for you guys out West but pretty big for here.

Glad you didn't let it go to waste. Ron
