Well... I figured out how to make a small Picture. Here's Noble leaving the scene of the crime.
Note the FF hat.

[Bro. Noble]

Be careful Whitepe,

If they were ever to catch us, they still might confiscate your 009 ;)

[whitepe]

Noble.
I see from the date of the picture that we still have a long time until the
Statute of Limitations runs out.  Maybe we best lay low for a while and hang out
in of those caves near Rock Bridge.   ;)

I sure hope Mark M doesn't see the picture of this big tree.  It might be so exciting
to him that his heart might skip a beat or two.

Legend has it that he felled, limbed and bucked that tree with the 009 all before breakfast too  ;) :D

Biggest I have cut down is a 36 inch water oak, biggest I have cut up that already hit the ground from a storm was a 54 or 56 inch white oak. With an axe biggest one is probably around 14 inches.

I would have to say the largest solid, merchantable tree that I slayed was a 50" on the stump yellow birch.  Couldn't believe that it was still solid, but it was. I had to measure it, it was a beautiful tree. We've cut some big ugly maples that probably went bigger, but they were just firewood.

If any of you get a chance to visit the Ethan Allen mill in Beecher Falls, VT check out the log that is displayed at the entrance. I don't remember the diameter and I think we cut it 32' long, but it is a sugar maple that was cut in Charleston, VT. It took two Hood loaders to load it on a truck.

Here's the kicker. My boss/landowner at the time had told us not to touch the tree because he wanted to see if it met or exceeded the VT state record for a sugar maple. Well, needless to say the only person who counted, the chopper, did not get the message. Down she went into infamy. Most of the guys made sure that they were not hanging around when the boss was informed of the "miscommunication".
