Dropped this monster oak that measured 36 inches. It had a crown that probably spread 40 feet . I stewed on taking this tree down for two years. I finally called a tree guy that wanted way too much. Well, I decided to do the job myself and couln't have placed this tree any better as there were plenty of trees to the right and my barn only 30 feet to the left. I'll have some work into getting this tree processed but hope to have it all done in 3 weeks.

I like working up those big boys. Lots of wood and I can make tons of my favorite "square blocks" out of them.

Nice job. Do you have a big bar to handle all that?
 
This is white oak and Pauly I have a 25" bar I think I can make work

Tim, that 25" bar is more than enough to get the job done. Enjoy!
