We crouched in the hole of the root ball, counting the rings..143 years old..blown down 28 months ago in a small tornado while we squatted in the barn, all hell breaking loose in one loud hiss..so loud, that we never noticed the sound of that 100 foot red oak, Civil War sapling, crashing over our heads and taking a dozen 20in dia.- 60ft. trees with it. For the past year, those trees have provided us with 50 face cord orders of wood for sale at 140.00 apiece..this one has brought 30 face cords in the limbs alone and today we just made our way to the beginning of the 40 foot trunk..each round weighing easily at 200 pounds..cut each with 3 wedges, muscled each down the slope to the ledge..tomorrow we split like fools and deliver..ouch!
