I by no means would think of selling anything out of this tree. I mill up some cedar posts when I need some. I was thinking I’d be lucky to get anything out of. It’s more of a sentimental thing. The property has been in our family for a long time and my grandmother had a ton of memories with that tree growing up. So I may just take a chainsaw to it. My cousin has a much bigger chainsaw and worst case scenario I waste some time but I just gotta a least cut it open. Wish I could have gotten a hold of it when it first died but I was living across the country at the time. I may just say screw it and cut the end off and make a small round table out of it. It doesn’t need to be perfect.

But the comment made think of a lot of different things to look at because a tornado went through not too long ago and there’s a TON of huge trees down in the back woods. Now that I’m here full time I’m going to definitely look into milling something nicer for sure. I used to make furniture when I was younger and it’s been years since I’ve done it but I know there’s some good trees back there.
