I now have another project saw.... my 084. The saw quit right at the last few inches of the cut in the pics and wouldn't restart so I finished with my 066. I pulled the muffler cover today and found a broken ring along with a destroyed jug and piston. I can't really tell what went first or what caused it yet. I'm sure the guys on the chainsaw forum can help if I get pics up.
Just frustrating I tell ya...
I might try to go back for this one. Not very long but over 6' in diameter. It would be awesome if it is solid all the way through. The top shows no sign of rot.
Wow... this is one I might try and take a cookie from, and either make a cut to start it, or try and dry it so it does have only one opening. Then I'd thickness it and flatten it, put in one of those knockouts bridging the crack and somehow mount that monster on a wall of a den or someplace. An example of what I'm talking about is this willow cookie I did up years ago, this one is only 24 inches in dia, but you get the idea. I just think that would be an awesome site taking up the better part of a wall. Of course, not everybody would share that... the wife might not agree with ya.I might try to go back for this one.

DOH!!! That sucks. This was stage III modded, right? Lots a dough in that one.
Just out of curiosity's sake I put it in the log weight calc. Guessing 5' length it came out to over 9000lbs. Yikes!
Where's the top of it?

I think that I am going to have to go out and buy a Ferrari!
(Not that I can afford one but isn't that what you do to compensate for big wood envy!):biggrinbounce2:
So aggie... got a time frame in mind here? Even if you could mill every single evening and every weekend, looks to me like you're looking at many months of busting those monsters into manageable cants with that huge csm of yours, and then milling umpteen thousands of bd ft on that bandsaw you just bought. Plus we're not talking easy stuff here like pine or poplar, we're talking Pecan.
I can't wait to see you open up some of those huge crotch pieces.
