Biggest wood

[Hedgerow]

Near 60" Pecan stem. Had been cut down and whittled on but a 10' long piece was left. Two 8' truckloads from that piece.

Few shots of a 36" dbh Cottonwood I dropped last fall, best guess was 110' tall. It had died the year before, needed to get it down before it became a hazard.

Made a hellofa thump when it hit the ground.

Went out yesterday to look at what she had and do some cutting. Guess she did not know the difference between 3' and 6'. Lots of good wood but nothing I saw over 3'. Still six big dead oaks that are 3' and very tall. All down by a river which is why they are tall rather that spread out.

That's like upwards of 10 to 15 cord or so if you milk the branches out and they are still there up above in any quantity. Good score! Getting paid to cut them down, or just free wood?

Free wood. And yea, there is a LOT of wood out there. Just have to find a cutting partner to help.

Ask on the chainsaw forum, you never know! And shows us some pics when you get to it!

Cut and split some logs that were bigger across than my 36" bar this morning and you guys can keep all that big stuff! Takes too much time and doesn't mix well with heat. Plus the knots are that much bigger and harder to bust apart. I will take 10"-20" diameter all day long.

+1. You can also lift a 10" to 20" log most of the time. However, please reduce 20" down to 16" and I will agree with you. If I gave you an 20" dia. pin oak or locust round that was 18" long, I have a feeling I'd be taking you to the hospital after you tried to lift it onto the tailgate of your truck.

That's when you build a set of stairs with the smaller rounds. Stack of 2 then 1. Flop each big round right up. Easy peasy.

What's your biggest tree you cut up for fire wood. That is a 52 inch piece of honey locust that fell in Sandy. View attachment 302259View attachment 302260

that looks like red oak to me

 

[tomtrees58]

i have cut bigger with my 6' bar

 

[imagineero]

I once cut up a 5,000" oak. Did it with a handsaw too, after I'd carried the whole tree back down the mountain on my shoulder. Didn't even bother to get the saw sharp before I started.

Oh yah, I did a 6,000" hickory. Did it with a hatchet. Then carried it up the mountain, in the snow.

Yeah well, I had a 7000" black locust to take down. Caught a beaver with my bare hands, and made it chop the tree down for me.
