I worked on it for a couple hours yesterday after work.
Maybe one more day on it, plus some work while milling it.

That was the main reason I was trying to get something done on it.
Got the strap and chain off of it as the ground is getting a little hard now.
Once we get some snow on the ground, it'll be sitting there all winter as I'm simply not messing around with stuck vehicles and such, there or here.
I get stuck often enough as it is. ::)

I think you'll find this oak is no longer on the stump. They FINALLY felled it in October and have been working on getting it ready to mill in their spare time since then...

Course, who am I to talk? I've still got my cypress sitting in the back yard with not a single slab taken yet... But there's always 2008 if the Lord lets us live to enjoy it...

when people say like 5' in diameter or 6' 7' or so on that means like taking a tape measure and wrapping it totally around the trunk until you get to the starting point of the tape right?  ???thanks

Burl-Hunter,

What you are describing is called circumference. Diameter is measured straight across from one side to the other side.

Circumference = 3.14 * Diameter      (3.14 multiplied by D)

Diameter = Circumference / 3.14      (C divided by 3.14)

Like Doug said, and if you only have a carpenter's tape instead of a D-tape (diameter tape) or logger's tape (some have a D-tape on the back side of the tape) you can wrap your tape around and divide by 3.14 to get it's diameter. ;D

The tree I had taken down in the back yard was 54" straight across
I had them take down 3 trees & I cut everything up
Now I have an Oak tree to come down - it's smaller, not by a lot
