Good job! keep knocking down trees! human bloody settlements spread like an oil stain and everything on the way has to be eliminated, so that we can invade more and more! wow! impressive! Trees should be left in the place where they grow to recycle nutrients! Business business business!! damn business...
lucki it didnt splinter when it fell,or else you would have had nothing to cut up........you cant call it the worlds largest any thing now ..worlds largest jigsaw maybe shame on ye for cutting it up into fire wood.
The World's Largest Hollow Log was a leaning snag and was taken down before it could fall down in 1978. To everyone's amazement it didn't splinter. What do you mean by "heritage listed?"
In australia where I live we "heritage list" trees that are rare so no developer can knock them down. It adds to the tourism anyway thats probably why they do it. Its just a shame they knocked down sucha splendid tree should be in a musuem its just soo rare. Hope you understand where I'm coming from?
Oh - I see - we have heritage lists here for living trees. I definitely know where you're coming from and would not have supported taking this relic down if it wasn't about to fall on its own. It was dead, that's why we call it a snag. The fact that it didn't fall apart when it hit the ground, kept it from becoming lumber or firewood. And yes, it does belong some place special...just not sure where that is. It will cost a lot to just move it and set it up.
It is a shame the log had to sectioned, but it was on private property and had to be moved. It was too large to move in one piece. With appropriate hardware, it can be reassembled.
Good points! We are hoping to relocate the log to a forest environment more accessible to the public, as well. The forest that once surrounded it had been gone for decades... another testament to the log's resilience. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Gosh -- I hope yours is not a prevailing opinion. There's really a lot to celebrate here in the interest of preserving and protecting redwoods. Already dead, rotting and ready to fall, this log was doomed for a burn pile or mill when it was cut down. A miracle it didn't break apart, it lay in a pasture for about 20 years before the current owner discovered it and organized a rescue with hopes to showcase it as both a work of art and educational tool...not to mention it being a wonder of nature.
I can understand what you are saying, but I think it would have been of more inspiration and education if it was in its natural surroundings, fallen or standing and continuing the forest cycle, rather that cut up and rotting in your front yard. I hope someone does buy it and showcases it around the states, to schools and developing minds.
What ideas do you have for what can be done with the World's Largest Hollow Log?
Some folks have suggested Donald Trump use it as a a golf cart entrance to the first tee on his golf course. Another idea was to make it a bar in a Las Vegas casino. And of course, it could go on tour from county fair to county fair around the nation.
How about you? What would you do with a giant, 2,000 year old hollow Sequoia log?

The chain saw used to fall the Malarkey Giant was a McCullough with a 6 ft. bar. The saw used to section the log was a 084 Stihl with a 5 Ft. bar.
