    I tried to count rings at 41:21. The best estimate I could come up with is well over 500 years old. Tight rings, slow grower. Possibly 600-700 yo. Btw, put a 6" c-clamp on your bar as a carry handle. 1'-2' from the end.

    I worked on the Quinault Indian Reservation in Washington state as a young man for a few months as a logger and I measured some cedar stumps that were over 24 feet in diameter. The trees had been cut probably 30 or 40 years before I happened upon them but since cedar resists rot, they were still in amazing shape.

    I am not an arborist but I am a 75 year old carpenter and woodworker. I have a suggestion that you may find useful if you ever run across a situation like this in the future. Make two cuts at a slight angle facing each other, in other words cut a wedge shaped piece. That way the slightest movement will cause the piece to get smaller as it is lifted and it will come right out. You guys really work well together and do a fantastic job.

Nobody could be as dull as they pretend to be. KZread-ing must pay a crap-ton for sure. Anyone holding a chainsaw would know to count rings closest to the base. (the old lady at the end.)

    WOW! What a TREASSURE, I would do anything to save this wood, especially for woodworkers. It is so RARE to find a 400-600-year-old tree like this. I know allot of woodworkers that would die to get their hands on this old tree and make something special out of it. The homeowners should keep some it on the property in some form or another, it's that kind of a treasure. This tree provided LIFE to so many living creatures for so long, it server her purpose well and it just brings me to tears to see her go out like this. There has to be a way to save the roots and seeds and replant her family!!!! She started growing in the 1200-1300, WOW, the tales she could tell! She was almost half her life when America was first discovered. Prior to that she grew FREE. Maybe the Indians of the time knew her well and slept under her shade.

There used to be a 5ft diameter maple which only had one stem in my youth that fell over. Out of its root ball there is now a nearly 100ft tall ~12" diameter maple and its split sibling of ~10". Circle of Life goes on. When young growing out of old rootball they can grow 10 ft a year. Often their stump will put up ~10 shoots all growing 10 ft a year until only left with a few stems and then it eventually turns into one stem. Though we have another maple stump that is ~10 ft in diameter, which when I was ypung had 15 stems growing out of it and now it is down to 11 and they are all ~2ft in diameter.

    Gonna put a lot of bar oil on those garden plants. That boom is a long way out, and every foot means less that can be picked up. The correct sign for up is an upward pointing fist with the index finger up, then rotate thehand as it points up. To lower use the same rotation with the hand pointing down

    All trees fall eventually. True conservation recognizes this and plans for the next generation. It breaks my heart that this magnificent and rare tree was turned into firewood because nobody could recognize what was about to happen and harvest it while it was still standing. Worse still, the family could have been wiped out.

    Suggestion: get a lifting tarp that you can pile all the wood pieces on then grab the corners avoiding all the packing out by hand. You've got a crane sitting there take full advsntage of it. Just use the tarp every once and a while between logs to pack out. Easier than your backs

    Old school loggers would split log long-wise by making a parallel middle cut 3/4 through then wedge split into 1/4's , 1/3's , or 1/2's . Make an 8 foot across log into 2, 3 , or 4 logs then mule team would skid them to load and deck area . All they had was elbow grease and determination.

    It helps a lot to cut the big wood into upside down trapezoid pieces that way it doesn’t pinch when you pick. I did a elm that was about 7ft diameter in 4ft pieces that weighed around 6k each for the bottom 40ft. A coworker got our 880 with the 5ft bar suck as hell in it, so I got to go carving away with the 066 and a 36”
