The mountain man is probably Nathan. That dude is a nut about wood. How's old Treecyclers doing these days anyway?

That was great! Enjoyed the pics. I'm glad it will be enjoyed for many more years.

Re: 55\" Cucumber Magnolia

TreeCyclers is growing quickly these days. There is a lot of buzz on the Estate about them and what they are doing with the "waste" wood we encounter here on a near-daily basis. We try to give them as much wood as they can handle. And that's a lot, considering the two mills Nathan has access to - one wood mizer and one custom-built 84" dual-powerhead mill. I've seen wood milled on the former, not the latter, looking forward to that.

Winch--nice job with the removal. That was a big stick!

The only weight chart I know of is the one Sherrill has available:

FWIW I've put together a chart that combines all of the species from Blair, Sherrill, and the Z, and goes from 10 to 80 inches.

It'll be available shortly.

Thanks for sharing the pictures of the Estate, and I was sad to see that big monster have to come down!

I hope you can get some pictures of the Cucumber Magnolia after it gets milled!

Mahk,
That's great to hear about your expanded weight chart. It will save us a little time on our future (huge) removals. Please post it here when it's done, I would love to have a copy asap.

SZ,
I am definitely going to get some pics of the milled product. Hopefully I will have the eventual pics of where the wood goes or gets installed as well. Many ideas floating around on what it will become. One of those ideas being bar-tops for a tavern that will open on the Estate next year. But this is only a rumor at this point.
