Too bad. I was hoping you would be able. I'd like to come over and watch (help) you saw it up. Maybe keep an eye on it and nobody will want it. Then you can get it when you do have time.

The widow maker is down.
There was a twist on it and side pressure, so very cautious.
Driveway is open but lots of work to do yet. So much small stuff, but Beech is wonderful to burn, and easy to split.
We have two glass top end tables that are made of a European Beech.
The company is Seltz. Stunning stuff. We stumbled across it in Suttons Bay, MI. a very small town north of Travers City. It was in a showroom window on the short main street. Beautiful blue glass top with melted copper pieces that look like splatters.
The three legged end tables were the cheapest thing they carried by Seltz. The legs are five sided at the top where the glass nests, and four sided at the floor. Very subtle. Anyway, when cutting up the Beech I think of the beautiful stuff someone at Seltz is making.
My computer will not let me load any more pictures, or I would post some of the tables, and one of Margaret sitting on the largest split limb from the Beech tree to give perspective.

There is a free, recently dropped 2'x 19' 6" black walnut FREE in St. Louis County. Looks inconvenient area for access or movement. 3 foot diameter or on my property do make it more interesting for me. There are a few 20"-30" logs up in the yard waste dump that can be fire wood 4 meThanks. I was more concerned with the garage, the fence and the neighbors shed.
I've got multiple saws in case one(or two) gets pinched lol.
I didn't really want the wood, it's really heavy, and it won't be ready to sell until next season, the good thing is I started a green wood pile to split after I sell what I currently have, hopefully I can get started splitting it this fall.
Sure would have been some nice wood to mill, it was about 36" across on the last cut, and it was solid until the second to last cut(nice 8'6" log easy at 28 approximately).
Looks to be in @SeMoTony neck of the woods.
That could be a nice one Tony.
FTW has two well known meanings "For The Win"or "F*** The World "
For the win… never seen the other used for that.

Is this what you are talking about? Is this yours?
That's the one in Huntleigh. Was the highest priced properties in St. Louis County for a long time and the nature of the owners goes with executives and so on that can afford that quality of price and privacy
Training the hound to sniff out spruce! None here...none there...aroooo! Found some!

Doyle scale says 450 bf from 2'x18 foot log for perspective on what's there so how much after cutting in half,transportation to and from mill to kiln and then market. Adding all those costs in it's a bit thin on meat on the bone for profit
Of more interest to me is a limbed, standing oak a few miles north from there. Been on c'list a few months. Claim is 18 or so inch radius.
Humor.
I won’t read it the new way, they should have checked with me first before changing it... Ha.
Mostly motorcycle related. Doubt 1%'s mean For The Win patches on their vests. FTW can also mean Forever two wheels but not usually
In the Army FTA and FTW was written on every latrine wall (Except basic training barracks). Firing ranges, motor pools, etc. That’s how I know about it.
I‘m aware motorcycle clubs use it too.

Not me, I got to take home this sweet shooting glasses.
The 50/50 winner donated it all back and the first winner of the Semi-auto Beretta shotgun gave it to the one legged veteran that was there.

The glasses have three different colored lenses that swap in and out 
Took advantage of the short period between summer school and the start of the new school year to travel PA and celebrate 10 years married and my bday.
Left Philly and traveled west on the turnpike to Pittsburgh. Spent two days there and then traveled north to Erie. Erie to Bellefonte (State College), back home to Philly , then south to Cape Charles, Va ( end of Delmarva pennisula)
Love western and central PA. Nothing like we have back East. Hoping to kick it back in gear when I get back home for scrounging. Have maybe two cords of ash to unload?
Pic of me and the wife (still working on my before shot)
