Picked up a saw today to take down the giant oak tree in my back yard. It's a Stihl MS-661 with a 36" bar. I also got a 42" bar and some ripping chain to quater it into manageable sized pieces. My goal is to get a few bookmatched slabs out of it and mill the rest into 4/4 boards. One estimate I had said there was about 4000 board foot of lumber in the main trunk.
Always an adventure.
