Got another big one to do looks to be 60inchs. Will post pic's this weekend looks like high octane and ported muffler going back on....Biggest one to date 55inchs this should be a record! (1.5 miles score)
 
Red or white?

I'd just pick that log up and put it in the back of the S-10 and haul it home...then you could make a pass on the mill whenever the mood struck you. :)

That'll teach ya to have big saws. If all you had was a "wild thing" this wouldn't be a problem. %-P

Yep I am really starting to think the wild thing is the answer. I will be getting a epa stove in the next couple weeks. Then I will not need that 10-12 cords a year. :lol:

The big ones keep you young, right Jay? :smirk:

I love these accounts of going after the jumbo wood! Get us some pics of the work...if you can still pick up a camera after that. :lol:

"880 traded" What, you're going in with the 460 and a skip chain? Whew.

Have fun. There a lot of work but a lot of wood. I started to split the one I'm working on today. Even after quartering the pieces
it is still a challenge to get them on the spliter plate. Seems like a lot of splits/round but you have to work for each one.

I dont think I will miss it or I would have kept it. Way to much trigger time for me and need to slow down and enjoy for awhile. However if that monster bw shows up I will run to the to the store in a heart beat! :cheese:

Nice tree Smokin, how many cord do you think you'll get from it?

zap


I would guess there is over 6 cords there. I filled up a truck and trailer before these where taken. (Blue truck was full)
 
Wow, that's a bunch of wood right there. Looks like White from here...primo! :cool:
