One of the largest pines I have seen..

[Kyle]

This tree was taken down last week and Chris and I had the privilege to get it.

The logs were 30" in diameter and 13 feet long. The two logs were almost 1000 bf of of old growth short leaf pine.

I counted on the fly 175 rings which means this one started as a sapling in 1835. WOW!

Nice score!!!! Do I see some wide boards in your future?

 

[Mike Davis]

Almost as old as my house. :rotflm:

That will make some nice table top slabs or work bench tops.

 

[JackLeg]

My FIL was born in 1922 and he grew up in western NY. When he was a boy he had an older gent for a neighbor who told him that it was not uncommon to see pine trees that scaled 3' at 90 in the air floating down the Erie Canal to a mill. I cannot imagine what they looked like as a standing forest - now that is something I wish I had the privilege to have witnessed.

Hope you have the best of luck with the yield and with the seasoning ...

Nice for reclaimed if it truly is old growth..You won't find any 28" wide boards in that junk.

If you read the information it is White Pine not Long Leaf or Short Leaf.

Wasn't a bad price at all for the history. Due to the age alone (ignoring the fact it is so soft) I would personally hesitate to call it junk.

Now what came of the huge walnut slab?
