Red Elm

[stihl sawing]

After you get the trunk out of the way, you might be able to pull those limbs out of there with your truck? or are they too big?

Damn sure ain't gonna hurt the house.:msp_scared:

The limbs are probably 36 inches.lol The ones in the house may be 24 though.

I would say it is not red elm because it is too light and I have never seen one rot like that.

Man, I'd love to go and help cut that up. That's a crazy amount of wood right there.
You'd have to noodle every round in about eight pieces just to get them on the splitter.

I really like noodling. Somebody have to shove lemons up my ass for a week to get the smile off my face when I was done of that bad boy.

It's not rotten, It looks like the bark is coming off but it isn't. It does split easy and the splits are smooth. I was hopin it was red elm.

Good point there, right close to the house someone drove a nail in at some point. Watch out for the clothes line pulley!

Couple those limbs were probably taken by the highway dept. This tree is right on a road and they would have been cross the road.

If that oak is 50" then we can add Younger to the list of members that are midgets. :msp_thumbsup:

 

[DSS]

Yeah, a yard tree that old likely got a few swing sets, clothsline hooks, horseshoes, bullets, chevettes...

It looks like an elm, but not a red one, and seems to split better than a piss elm. It almost looks like an ash, but seems the wrong color for that also. That oak is huge! Save some of the remaining windows for the ones Art pushes in during the show.
Maybe you'll find an old Vega in there, SS.

 

[banshee67]
