I figured I would share a few pics of similar carnage :D


After a good hour and a half of chopping both blades were still very sharp... speechless :eek:

enjoy the pics//

That was your neighbor's tree, wasn't it? :D
 
THats stepping up to the challenge.:eek::cool::thumbup:



I dont think that will get topped , but I sure hope someone tries:D:D
 
I've found a couple of dead trees washed up on the beach near me, question is what's the wood likely to be like to chop?

I'm thinking it'll be a fair test, I just have to find the time and a willing volunteer to dig a pit to burry enough of the trunk in to effectively replant it for stability.
 
what type of tree is that???

thats a really brilliant shade of red running through that. looks like it would make some amazing veneers, and thats some thick heart wood. lot's you could do with that!
 
looks like a huge sugar maple.... maybe....errh...maybe not. Its an old one regardless.

THat heart wood always seems to be like chopping hardened steel too:eek:

lol. Naaaahh It was a tree in my front yard. A few of the neighbors did stop by and had a drink while watching me tackle this giant. Yea, I'm pretty sure a lot of folks in my area think I am crazy or something because there were several cars driving by that stopped and were just staring at me while I was getting a proper workout. :D

Woah !! thanks KnifeHunter :) I'm sure someone else has taken down trees this size with a Busse b4.

Last year I downed a pretty big tree with an old Battle Rat. Busse kin products are in a league of their own. :thumbup: thats for darn sure..

I know.. the tree looks healthy and such but the only reason why I took halh of it down was because it was infested with cutter bugs. Their main nest was in that limb. These things are such a nuisance and get all inside my house. So far they seem to be under control now. The remaining part of the tree is still alive and doing well. :)

Not sure what type of tree it is.? If anyone can identify it that would be cool. :cool: I have other pics showing the entire thing.

I also have a video of when the tree is falling but only managed to capture the last seconds because the tree fell super fast.

Also, I have never seen a tree with such a red core. It was extremely difficult to chop. It sounded like I was hitting metal on metal. :eek:

Infi RoCkS ! !! :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

the bark looks like oak, but have you ever known oak to have -red- heartwood?

seriously, consider calling up your local hardwood lumber yard and have them cut the heartwood into turning blanks for you, then seal it up and let it sit for a few years. if the red stays true and holds up to the seasoning process, you've got something worth a decent bit of money, and if not money then really high in visual value.
 
You do know the ' symbol is for feet. For a minute, I thought you were cutting down the redwood forest. I'm still impressed.:thumbup:

about 19 years and then I come back to visit at least twice a year:thumbup:




Its Not a sugar maple either cause there's grass around the tree and no roots running everywhere on the surface like at my Grans:D

but:p;)

Its not Oak either my brother...Is it??:D

well, what does the neighbor expect, it was blocking his satellite signal?


That reminds me of a funny conversation I had as a customer service phone guy for a satellite company.

Caller: I can't get a signal. (in a heavy Spanish accent)

Me: is there anything blocking your line of site from the dish to the direction you are supposed to be pointing the dish?

Caller: Yes, like a 100+ foot tree on my neighbor's property.

Me: Is there anywhere on your property that you can mount it where the tree won't be blocking the signal?

Caller: No, that sucker is huge.

Me: Do you own a chain saw?

Caller: Yes.

Me: Do you think the neighbor will wake up if you sneak over there in the middle of the night and cut that sucker down?

Caller: I think he would notice






That one got a good laugh at the office.

I would love to see the video of the tree falling. If you have any pics of the leaves it would help a lot for a ID. I have a bunch of books if I can't make a visual ID.
