Wow that would make a huge candle yea a bigger baris needed and power head My 41" would help
di you get it cut or gest left it? i dont think a carving bar for the bore cut is needed on that
I left it. It is a little bit bigger than 24 inches. I'm only allowed to cut up to 24 inches. I wouldn't want to attempt this one anyway. Not without somebody who knew what they were doing along.

someones gonna buck it eventually anyways,but just from"eyeballing it",i dont think you have enough bar to bust that one all the way,unless you are pretty creative with that 24"bar

That's a 28" bar on Twinkle. Nope, I'm going to let it sit and somebody else can cut it up.

28"bar eh?i stand corrected,once again a picture does not do justice to actual size of things
Somewhere I have pics of a 50" pine I bucked out of a road with a 20" bar. It was a lot of boring and blocking. Finally got it out of the way after a lot of work, but that's what I had to work with.
A shattered and slabbed tree like that likes to grab hold of your bar. It's good to be a B Bucker sometimes.
Not to mention having to get the chunks out of the road! I believe our guys are going to have a Class C bucking class on it. Also, some old loggers were in, one of who has a lot of experience with that size of wood, and were going to cut it for firewood if they got to it in time. There's snow on one side and a closed gate on the other so the general public hasn't had legal access yet.
One was even talking about walking his nearby shovel up to it.
The two loggers will be limping about for a few days afterwards if they get it. Both are pretty banged up. I've seen them after they got another, large tree. Talk about gimping around...

Hey! Gimping is good. At least they're still moving. It's like when you get up in the morning and have to decide which hurts worse, your knees, your shoulders, your back, your elbows, or your shins. That's the Gimp Of The Day and it changes around a lot according to terrain and weather...and how healthy your partner is.
Speaking of which...I think I'll gimp on out to the woods.

I resemble that statement, good one Bob.
Yes it is. That's who I work for. The People. So, I am certified to buck up stuff up to 24" on the job. And frankly, I would not buck up that tree anyway because I don't feel comfy doing it. I'd do it if there was somebody along who I knew could tell me how and bail me out if I ran into a problem.
My experience with a shattered not that big one, but about 30 inches is that they shift, creak, and get your bar pinched and stuck. I ran out of wedges one time trying to get one out of the road. Luckily, there was a detour.
I don't know what I'm doing when it comes to that stuff.

shattered wood can get you a number of ways, the pressures can be every which way!
a spare bar and chain in the truck might be handy
