About to late

[Trigger-Time]

Good size White Oak fell at some time on our farm.
Just below the crotch and above it may be good.
Tried to work on it today twice, got rained out
both times.......sorry about bad pictures,used our fist digital camera.

About 16 feet up the tree, 064 with 30" bar

Hope crotch wood is good.

From here down will be fire wood :

Better late than never. You ought to get some nice stuff from that baby there Gary, and firewood to boot.

some (take some off the sides), 36" is longest bar I have.

Gotta say that crotch piece looks.... interesting. As I've said couple hundred times on here, crotches are always a crapshoot.

Sorry to say, Don't think their will be much more than just fire wood.
little bit better pic. Where it's darker (wet) is starting to rot.

I have yet to mill any crotch wood......here is a cherry I found that is dead
but still standing. Below crotch, holding tape up to tree looks to be 22" dia,
crotch is a little wider. Trouble is......White Oak tree has it wraped up.

Those tree huggers can really be a pain.

That's what she said! Hope you can salvage something from that log. That cherry looks like it will be a bit of a project just to disentangle it from that oak. Looks promising though.
