Wow

[doc henderson]

What are your plans for it?  what kind of wood?  how will you move it?  uuuuuuuuge.

[Brad_bb]

That is a monster Tule, but I'm sure not your first.  What about the black marks showing on the end? Just go for it and sacrifice some bands?

This is a black oak that will be delivered in three truck loads from N. California.Not sure , or worried about the black stains at this point. I bought back my slabbing mill from the same gent that also bought my LT-70 wide to cut this stick but I don't think it will fit ??
  Got out of the slab business a year ago when I saw too many folks getting in and destroying the market. I have a use for the slabbing mill later in 2020 so I might as well start bringing logs in again.
 When it gets here we will par-buckle off the trailer and slice into table tops .This requires bunking under the trailer frame and a bit of thought as to where the log lands for milling. It took two 900 series cats to load at the other end and I'm one cat short at this end :D

Wow.  That's a big stick. Looking forward to seeing it opened up.

Holy cow! In a regular sized tree those iron stains would be from nails. These are probably railroad spikes.

May hafta dig a hole, back the trailer into it, and roll the log off on level ground.  ;D

The blue could be from the bar/chain while falling/bucking which would be easy to determine.

You are crazy!

So I sawed yesterday and today cutting cherry, ashe and cedar.  

The photo below is a load of Cherry.  

After the previous posts, I feel like the old men on the bench in front of the courthouse in Andy Griffith - just whittling sticks.

It's been said go big or go home.
Apparantly he doesn't want to go home.
I'll be watching for pictures as I'm curious.
A 4" thick slab in the center may require his cat.

Who are you making tables for?  Shrek?  :D

[tule peak timber]

I'm still getting calls for "stupid' big tables and doors that I'm making out of a dwindling stock pile. Walnut sells the best but anything huge has a market, at least for now.Don't know how much longer the slab market will last--my best guess was wrong last year. Time to shine my crystal ball.....

And I always thought that crystall balls had to be calibrated.

Bought it ---haven't seen it . My wife tells me I'm writing checks my body can't cash......

[redbeard]

Wow!
Monster and Heavy too boot!

[Bruno of NH]

I thought the slab craze fell out this summer.
I was wrong once September hit sales picked up.
3 to 5 a week .
Some weeks 10 + mostly hardwood. 
I still plan for a slow down.
