I just showed my 6 and 3 year old the pictures in this post and they are in awe at the size of the tree and your Excursion hauling it. Of course, living in Southern Arizona, they have never seen big trees. Thank you for sharing your pics.

I was born in Tucson and lived there until I was 14 then moved to Mississippi.

The tables aren't made yet. The slabs are still drying. He had a contact that had a kiln to dry them quicker but that fell through so he is having to air dry them. Wood need 1 year of air drying per 1" of thickness.

I can hand-sharpen the big chain in about 20 minutes and have to do so after every cut.

Just found out that the owner was killed in an accident last night. Very sad. He was only like 30 years old.
