I cut this "Huge" Box Elder up yesterday and it took a tractor and my 16' trailor to get it home. I almost didn't have enough room on the trailor for the tree and the tractor. It is 35 plus inches wide. It all should weigh around 2000lbs. There is some beautiful color and designs in it. Its now under the woodshead waiting for further processing.,hopefully over the weekend.

Thats a whole lot of bowls! You could really put your lathe to the test!

Maybe you should have left the tractor and gotten more of the wood. That looks to be some spectacular flame.

You're going to need a bigger lathe for that! WOW, what a haul.

I've got all the tree. Didn't even leave a single limb behind. That's my 3rd load and this was my biggest yet. I think between my tractor and the wood today I had close to 5000lbs behind my Toyota. I knew it was back there thats for sure. I'm looking foward to cutting some of it open. I'll add some pics when I do.
