Very Dangerous Black Walnut

[jimdad07]

I haven't posted here in awhile but I thought some of you would enjoy this. This is a big black walnut I took down over the weekend and she was a dangerous one.

That had to be hard on those damaged bones and muscles, took me more than 3 years to get completely over just a broken ankle. You did ok, still kicking.

I didn't know you did that too. You, Dan and I should start a club.

Back to work yet? Dan and I do a bit of cutting on the weekends, scrounged up a good bit of firewood last winter.

I've been back since October, long winter I can tell you that. I keep tabs on you, I talk to Dan on the phone from time to time.

Figured a stump picture would show this a bit better.

Anything in that stem worth saving?

Came out with 32' of stem logs that are salvageable.

The stump looked so rotten and nasty.

Might I be mistaken, but was this one of those prized and much sought-after "highly valuable black walnut trees" that I hear spoken of so frequently?

Those pics put things into perspective Jim. Too difficult to tell from the video. I was ball busting when I said I was going to critique your cutting lol, I know you knew that though. Unless you're the one on the hill side with the saw in hand there's no critiquing on ones like that. Glad it all worked out for ya. Where abouts did you travel to get into that mess? I heard you say about 3.5 hours away?

It sure is, I did get some nice logs out of it.
