Everytime I talked about cutting down this holly tree, my wife would break into a chorus rif of "Hollywood.... ta ta ta ta ta ta ta, Hollywood....!" :banana:
Anyway, my neighbor and I took it down yesterday. It was sitting smack-dab on our two property lines, so we each get half the tree. We harvested over 30 linear feet, and this photo shows the base cut about 4 ft. above the ground after we leveled off the log. We are going to plank up two logs, each about 5 ft. long, and the rest will be cut into rounds for either bowls or mallet heads. In the photo shown here, notice the thing on the log that looks like a nightmare centipede. It was a vine that put out roots to hang on to the tree and it went up the tree about 20 ft.
