Heckufa hollow in that trunk! I couldn't help but notice the ancient flush cut on the trunk about 15'-20' up on the 1st pic. Never even started to compartmentalize.
Isn't it a shame that the richest customers can get our services for bargain rates, yet the average workin' stiff ends up paying top dollar......

Yep, Brian, that, plus the old top breakout, was likely the start of problems with this tree. Otherwise, with it's location near a stream, and having had no major construction within 15 feet of the trunk, it would likely have been in great shape.
Bigleaf maple is the largest maple species in the world; there are specimens over 150 -160 feet tall, and 11 feet in diameter.
In relation to the old cuts, few trees can handle 24 inch cuts, flush or not. Bigleaf are notoriously poor compartmentalizers.
