After we finished cutting with my friend's Wallenstein processor yesterday we walked a little further into the bush to scout for more wood.
I new that this Ash had been leaning but now it is down. I placed my work gloves on the trunk to give perspective and my friend who has a wingspan that is over 6 feet could not get his arms around the trunk. It might be time to break out the longer bar on the saw. I am also considering ways to get the main body of the trunk cut into boards.
If I had the money lying around right now an Alaskan mill would be tempting.
Ironically another neighbour has a sawmill set up in his yard but getting a trunk as big as this one to his place will take some doing.
