Greene County Indiana Information - Great Sycamore Tree
This here is a HUGE sycamore limb... Mind you this was just the limb. When I used to live in Indiana I went by this limb alot. Its really magnificent!

Those color pics are great! It took me a moment to realize how old they are.

Damn! 42 FT.! in circumference! Approx. 160" Dbh (13+ ft. if my math is correct, which it probably isn't). That's a big-ass sycamore. mtsam is probably gonna try to take credit for falling it - I know he's done a little sycamore falling in Indiana ha ha

PS. Sam, great to finally touch base with you last night. You can now consider yourself a member of the world's most exclusive club... I can count on one hand the amount of people who have my land-line phone #. Ha Ha

As always, thanks for sharing the pics Paccity

Paccity - wow, great pics. Oregon kicks ass on many different levels. Huge trees, great Summer skiing, great beer, steelheading, crabbing, clamming, etc...

Back to the big tree part. Love the pic of the guy climbing. What a pickle (the tree, not the guy).

Sam. I'll get pics for sure. There are some pretty nice d fir on the sale but nothing that would hold up in this thread so I'll get em in the falling thread and let you critique my stumps. Be safe and hopefully I'll see you at the lumberjack saloon here in a few weeks.

Awesome fir tree! Wish they would hurry up and invent a time machine so that I could go back in time with my big saws, tree jacks, and of course, my chain grinder...either that or the discovery of a planet carpeted with timber like that, to supply lumber for some other treeless planet...oh yes, I am waiting!

 

[paccity]

the thing that i like is on the one pic of it falling is how close everyone is standing to it. today the saftey natzis would #### themselves if they saw that.

 

[Greystoke]

Yet another good reason for a time machine, or a new planet...for loggers only....all the cull, dip####, maggots that want to interfere with our great occupation would get their guts stomped out and sent back to the holes they came from

Well, there is a thread about selling public lands to make money on the tree hugger site. I am advocating selling more timber. Our forest's cut is now about 5% of what it was in 1988. It could easily be higher.

Trouble is, the "collaborative group" has a lot of input. They are pretty much under the thumb of the enviro group here.

A faller I talked to on Friday put it this way, "No wonder the government can't make money on timber sales if they put up crap like this for sale." He was cutting in a sale on some upper elevation crap (for sure) which was planned for "restoration."

Oops. Thread drift. If we could sell trees like are in the picture, we might do a bit better. Maybe you guys would pay for the honor of falling them....:coffee:
