Well I'm pretty sure it's honey locust anyway, either way it was "free".
My buddy had this tree in his front yard that he wanted gone and was quoted a grand to get this one and a pine out of there so I told him I'd knock this one down for him. I was expecting a small tree that would waste my time but this one was worth the trip. We tossed a rope around it to make everyone involved feel warm and fuzzy but in reality it wouldn't have done anything if things had gone wrong with my buddy tugging on it. I told him to tie it around his waist but he didn't think it was funny. It dropped a few branches into the street which we quickly cleaned up and other than that it went smoothly. Working on a small sub division lot sure created some nerves! The trunk was pretty much 20 inches until it branched out so I should get some nice splits out of it.
Here are some pictures of the load. I'll try to get a picture of the stump for Jay once I get the trailer unloaded.
