This is the only big cut I have a pic of.
That is an 066 with a 36" bar. Not the biggest tree I have felled, but the biggest with a picture. lol
This is huge in these parts. The standard issue bar length for the loggers in the area is 20"

The two black spots? I don't think so, cause they were all the way up the butt. I'm not sure exactly what those are.
-Steve
The marks look like what I've found from steel or iron in a tree. Found a 3/8" x 4" long eye bolt that had grown over in a large pin oak a while back. Dad and I kept splitting the wood away until we isolated the steel. Lucky you didn't hit anything!Freakingstang said:

I did hit a small piece of barbed wire on the oposite side of the marks, it took the edge off real quick. lol I had the file on hand after that, but never seemed to hit anything else. The trunk section is still sitting where it was dropped, and I cut it twice and saw the black marks 10 foot or so up the trunk. We ran out of daylight before i finished cutting the butt log, so it is possible there is still something in there. I'll have to be extra cautious when I go back down there to finish it in a week or so.
what they are
I can tell you they are stains from nails or wire in the tree. I suspect there was a fence nailed to that tree years ago. The iron leaves a stain that can go many feet up in the oak tree but not so far in a walnut.Freakingstang said:
Barbed wire
Normally the barbedwire fence is only about 4' high and the stain goes up another 6' so you lose the first 10' of any oak tree on a fenceline, if you are going to saw it up into boards. Just to be safe use the first 10' for firewood. Whether it was a three strand or four strand fence it's usually only 3 1/2'-4' high.

Read and Weep, huh
Read and weep, why. It is a big tree pic thread, maybe you miss the point of the thread. Its not to see who has cut the biggest tree. BTW, nice tree, not bad at all.....

I milled some water oak a week or two ago with the same blue stain. I dug into it and found nails. You might find it interesting that when you cut or sand many types of hardwood, including some oaks, the dust that settles on you will stain your skin the same color. I've left the shop many times looking like a hybrid smurf!
