"In Skagit County is a forest of Douglas pine and white cedar in which there are many trees reaching 325 feet high, and some of them are fully 350 feet high."
"Many trees, each over 280 feet tall, have been measured about Blaine, Washington. Others in that vicinity and elsewhere reach to a height of 350 feet. There are without doubt large numbers of trees in Washington over 300 feet high."
-- American Forestry Association, 1890.
Hmm... You would have liked to see those Puget sound trees a hundred years ago.
so yea thats the big ? why did you chunk her up seems like 36'10 or even some 26'10's woulda worked or did the camera really make those chunks look small ?? just curious.
There's a highway just to the right of the camera, about 80 yards downhill from the tree. So I took what I thought would stay on the hill. Most of the wood was just anyways, I think the butt log went for firewood in fact.
some of those sections seem pretty short were you able to sell any millable lumber out of something like that? I think money when I see that tree not firewood,good job though I tried it once cause I thought it looked easy but when the tree started swaying after I toped it I almost messed myself!!
It was easier to leave the limbs on. They were all on one side for the most part so they pulled the sections over. Also I used them for getting up and rappelling down. I also thought it might keep the sections from bouncing too much when they hit the ground.
Here's another one:
