I went up to a block of land my parents have on the weekend to pick up a tree trunk for a wooden dummy. In exchange for the excellent trunk he got me the old man said while I was there with the ute I could help him with a few loads of wood. Anyway, he'd felled a monster tree and cut rounds but not split them yet. We lifted the rounds into the ute and offloaded them near the house. Some of the rounds were way bigger than my arm span and about 3' long. Dunno the weight, but I'd imagine 100-150lb for the biggest. Man, it was fun! I kinda wished I'd kept a big one to take home and throw around the garden for GPP. These rounds were from branches high up the tree. The trunk at the base was over 6' diameter :eek:. I guess I could work up to that :D.
