    In your region as well. I self manage about 70 acres of woods that has been timbered by my family for generations . Trying to get walnut and and oak balanced out among maple, cherry, and hickory with guidance from a forester. That piece you're working on is something special with that size of wood on it. What a privilege for you and the landowner. I'd be honored to have you out in 2-3 decades lol!!! Hope the shop's coming along well. Be safe and stay dangerous!!!

    Great video again :) I try to always put my hinge OUT of the money wood. Usually in the root flares. Punch thru the front on those big trees often because that's the only way I can reach, leaving two hinges. As little hinge as I can get away with to reduce chances of pulls. But that's me.

    In 2006 a friend of mine approached a homeowner and asked him if he could buy the massive, straight walnut tree, that was in his yard. The guy said, " I'll give you a hundred bucks to take it, it drops nuts all over my yard and kills my grass. We got 3 eleven foot logs, with almost no taper. 51- 44". This one reminds me of that tree. We made so much loot from building tables and guitars out of that beast.

    Those are some monsters. I learned something new with this video. Never thought about cattle being around trees causing problems. You cant find a tree in our area that doesn't have cattle around them for 6 months out of the year. Maybe why our timber has a lot of defects?

      @Good.Fellers Interesting. All of the cattle are wintered on our creek bottoms where all the trees are. So they are really concentrated in there for 6 months. There will be 100hd of calving cows on 80 acres all winter.
