Here it is , in Oregon a tree like this gets this size in 50 years(Iit would take a tree where I live hundreds of years!!) ……………now where I come from the only thing that grows that fast are horse weeds!!!!
Frank decided that it would be fun to chop weeds today ….and maybe mill 4-5 oak logs and do a couple thousand feet of tongue and groove floring….all we had to do to be allowed to participate was give him a brass door knocker and a dead rat to be able to help(Tom Sawyer refrence)
Here is another local weed…errrrrrrrrrr tree…….. you know what I mean
Here the original AXE MAN leads the way to the carnage……
Let the mayhem begin…. I didn’t see a husky saw anywhere on the place?
BUT Frank dug right in with his stihl
Not to be out done KEA jumped right in……….
Once Buzz Sawyer smelled fresh wood chips he dove in with vengance to the mighty sprout
After all our efforts it still wanted to stay in one piece…..not really surprising don’t they always?
So it was decided to split the log with the forks on the front loader
Finally she popped!!!
This ¼ must have weighed at least 3 grand from the looks of franks front tires
Off to the log bunks to be cut down to interior paneling
Before the Sequoia we cut up this oak
MD in action
Frank bearing down on another
I have NEVER seen a slab pile like this one…….most of these are at least 1 foot thick….Frank sell custom mantles and such things out of these.
