A day filled with oak.

My neighbor had a large oak cut down, at first he said I could have all the wood except the trunk. So I jumped on it, getting all I could. He was going to get the trunk milled. It was 36 in diameter at the bottom and 43 ft long. I took him a bottle of his favorite liquor as a thank you, and he says you know what? Take all the wood! So today I started the haul. Found some metal at the base. Enjoy the pics!

Except for the metal that looks great! Hopefully that metal didn't ruin any chains for you?

Nice looking wood. It's always nice to have neighbors like that. My neighbor was nice to give me 2 trees that he had taken down. Made it easy for the tree service company. I was a happy camper...

Nice score. Pretty good size tree. Your saw looks like a toy sitting on top of the trunk.

Aw, man, I can smell that wonderful oak from here. Nice score!

No chains ruined, I was lucky. Found the metal in the splits. This is the largest tree I've ever taken on, it's a lot of work but I know I'll be warm in 2016!

That is an awesome score. Nothing like 40 feet of straight Red Oak to split. Almost like Christmas!

That is one fantastic haul! Glad you got to get the whole thing. That has to be a 10 for sure.
