I got my third and final truckload of wood today from a field by my work. It is a giant red oak which blew down last fall. I've been eyeing it all winter. Finally ran into the owner a week ago.
This last load (cutting from the top) brought me to where three large branches converge, and it is supported here, and then fifty feet away to the rootball. The cut I would have to make is not scary on normal sized wood, but is here. The trunk is several feet off the ground. If I get the trunk on the ground, it is easily 2 years of wood, possibly 3. I would have to build another shed. Sometimes an axe is safer than a saw.
