Thanks, and yes it was. Spruce right?

Can't tell from the vid? First guess is Spruce, maybe grand fir, or White fir maybe? I fell some nice Red and White Fir around that area. Fell a snag off about a 100' bluff on that job too...oops...it was an accident(I lost it over backards)...that's my story anyhow, and I'm stickin to it :)

it sure looked like you walked up and spit on the stump at the end, was it that bad? ;)

I think what you are seeing is some steamy breath that I am expelling. That tree got me alittle winded at the end, between facing, swinging the ax, scarfing, sniping, cutting the heart, and back cut. all the face jazz was just so I could get deep enough into the heart. I didnt want to have to screw around in the back cut, blocking and such. I went up and rounded it all up today with a 32''(bought a chain today.) and my friend estimated that it was 57''. I don't know about that, im gonna measure tomorrow. . .
 
I need to get a video camera maybe one day I'll crush a house or a car. It would be a shame not to get it on video! I've had some cool things happen, like a huge tree flip a log a hundred feet in the air and harpoon a beaver lodge. That sh.. rocks never a camera when you need em'. That's it you talked me into it I'm getting one. Those great videos are too compelling! And they are legal too.
