You still have 4 faces.  Just saw lumber until the hole is all that remains.

The hole is just the middle, plenty of good lumber around it...Even veneer rotary logs can have a hole in the middle.

That's my plan, the othwer tree 30 yards away with rough looking bark has a solid looking center and it's only slightly smaller, both will go to the mill.

A lot of times if you get up above the center rot it contains good wood .Fact I've got the logs from a 90 foot ash the bottom 8 feet was hollow .Pretty good looking stuff .The butt log was just firewood which is not a total lose .

On the other end from a 100 footer,ash it was hollow near the top,wind blown .Big one,over 1000 bd feet of saw log and a cord and a half of firewood --use it all .
