Gotta do the tranny fluid soon.
I'm headed out right now to go grind some stumps 56 miles from my house.

I'm curious as to what kind of equipment you use to saw those bad boys into slabs. Care to share? I'm also curious about logisitics - it's got to be a pretty big piece of equipment to saw a 4 foot wide slab, so do you move the equipment to the logs, or the logs to the equipment?
Thanks,
Ted

I about have everything I need to start slabbing those moster logs. Here's the chainsaw with the 60" bar on it and I got the 60" rails for the chainsaw mill on today but got rained out. Guess I'll start in the morning.

That is great story and sequence of events. Here's hoping you can recover the other pieces of the tree - that is truly a unique way to build some furniture and preserve history. Great story.

It's actually smoother than the picture would indicate.
Beautiful wood.

That was just the top starter piece to have a flat surface to work from. I'm slabbing 1.5" slabs starting just under where that piece was. Already got one slab done and now I can't get my saw to crank back up. It's an old and sometimes cranky thing. (But a beast when she does run.)
