Craigslist firewood OMG !

[JeffHK454]

I went and looked at this ..before they added pics. Needless to say I was a little perplexed that this thing was still standing.

I've never seen a tree this size literally levitate..

free firewood - you cut

You would think just looking at it would make it fall over.
Are you gonna get it?

 

[c5rulz]

Hmmm.........if there is a face, I can't see it coupled with the old sloping back cut.:hmm3grin2orange:

Almost looks like a wedge and a few whacks would be all it takes.:msp_thumbup:

If its still available here in a week or two I might..I'm actually full up with awesome CL finds right know.

This tree defied gravity.. It's around 24"-26" at shoulder height and can't have more than a 3"x6" section of uncut wood. It sways like crazy too..I was scared standing by it.

that's what I would do , wedge it and whack it ! if that doesn't work , start cutting a wedge out below where they cut and drop it , free wood is good wood !

 

[Locust Cutter]

Holy ####! That's a barber chair waiting to happen... if you do wedge it, do it from the side, at about a 45 degree angle... That could kill someone. This is why some people shouldn't TOUCH power equipment...:angry2:

I'm surprised not to see a saw stuck in there...:hmm3grin2orange:

I'd be afraid to throw a tag line over a limb to help pull it. The weight of the rope hanging over a limb might be enough to make it go. I'd also be afraid to wedge it. That little strap of wood could break off and the butt shoot straight down, and not tip. At that point it can go in any direction, and you have to be able to out run 32 feet per second squared, Joe.

Be careful, but its a funny CL find. Although not surprising for that site.

That's my exact thought .This thing is perfectly balanced on that little "hinge".

 

[zogger]

If that was way out in the country and you could get away with it, looks to be a nice spot of remote rifle target shooting on that little hinge.

hollow point

Yea, 50 yards with 30.06 hollow point would be safest!

Go forth 400 grains, and fear no evil - .416 Rigby!!!

 

[mdavlee]

Yeah I think a couple wedges in the back cut and it would go over. I'm surprised it hasn't fallen or chaired on whoever cut it that far.

 

[Locust Cutter]

Tannerite and a rifle would do the trick... So would a few M-80's.

 

[olyman]

aw come on guys,,go big,,or go home.. wheres the 50 cal browning?? 100 rounds should clip it right off!!!!!

 

[JeffHK454]

Problem is this tree stands in a super snotty suburb of Cincy and gun play and explosives use would be frowned upon. He'll, I bet they call the cops on me when I drive my ratty old dump truck into the subdivision .

Rope and pull it over. About all you can do. I wouldn't cut on that thing.

 

[Vermonster]

For "F" sakes just go pound a wedge or 3 in to the sloping back cut and put that frigging thing on the ground!! :spam:

 

[Woodchucker Ron]

By the looks of that thing the wind might have it on the ground all ready.
