Thought you might like to see it. Lots of shakes in this one.

That's a Helluva tree - definitely some old growth there. I bet watching a tree that large fall must be a rush. Nice picture, thanks for sharing!
 
If it wasn't for the saw in the pic I'dve guessed it was just a picture of a couple of dwarf loggers! :hmm3grin2orange:

How much of a pain is it to buck one of those monsters? I see a lot of pics of the base after felling them, but not much on the 'grunt' work of chunking them up.

How often do you block them down vs. fell 'em and buck them up?

Thanks for sharing!!!

NICE
 
Huge, great pic.

It sure would be a thrill felling them big buggers, those were the days.

How would you block something that big? Are you going to cut through it and push it over? I don' theeeen' so! :dizzy:


Just topping those old monsters would be a major acheivement!

Scanned image? FYI, BMP = eeeevilll!


Largest file size, lowest quality. I can't think of any reason to work with BMPs.

Save your scan in TIFF or JPEG at highest resolution to maximize quality. Then convert to other formats if needed to make a smaller file.

Use JPG (JPEG) or PNG if it's for a website. Experiment with each to see which gives you the best result in terms of quality and file size. For black & white, GIF might work. (Yes, you can use GIF for color, but it's not usually the best choice.) Depends on the original.

Not many firs like this around anymore (that aren't protected), but the cedars are coming on strong. I have some 60-70 years old on my property (2nd growth (3rd gen) that are getting up to 4 feet dbh, and they aren't even teenagers yet!
 
i climbed a giant like that (ok a bit smaller, only 6 feet in diameter), a while ago. You feel really small when in a tree like that.

great photo.
