one of those rare finds of a lifetime !!! congratulations my friend .The areas that are damaged can be repaired with solid wood inlays from the first slab cuts.

An acceptable practice that will not hurt the value of the pieces.a similar tree went down during this winter’s storm at the local park, they simply cut it up into firewood and nothing i could do about it.. Such a shame to burn some of the most crazy burl iv’e ever seen, and i’ m not talking about the value, i don’t care about that, it’s the real value it holds in it’s beauty, an ambassador of nature if you will.

Something u might wanna look at it is wire wheels that attach to the drill there only few pounds here can’t see them being much were u are. Makes cleaning up bark and debris on logs so much easier.

The effort and hard work you and you helper put into these logs is unbelievable! Great video and excellent chainsaw work!! Bravo from Wisconsin USA!I run 404 chain on 881 mill. Never breaks, unlike these 3/8 lo-pro milling chains. Worth the extra millimeter wasted wood in the cut.
