Got the hickory tree cut up: Three 9' logs, two 6' logs and two forked se=
ctions. Have to wait to dig out the rootball, to see what it looks like.
The tree seems to have been lightning struck and there's damage along one s=
ide. The transverse cuts reveal some spalting-looking wood, along the lig=
htning struck edge/scar, so hoping the lumber density/integrity is not too =
compromised. I'll take a chance on it and have it milled.
BIL is hauling the logs out, today, and I hope to bring them to the mill th=
is week.
I picked up a few pieces for mallets and I cut most of the limbs for firewo=
od.
