Hi rob! Yes it's all coming down. It's still standing but coming down tomorrow. I might give it a crack with my Alaskan. What do you think?

[Rob D]

Could well be worth it - what sort of maple is it?

 

 

If it has a clean first length (ie. 6ft+) I would mill all that - don't worry about all the upper part - hard to see from the pics how long the first length is....

 

 

Quite a rare sort of timber maple - I can't remember ever milling any of size but the wood is really tough and hard.

Even Norway Maple?

 

We have loads of massive Norways in Salford, most have a straight tall stem too, they all end up as firewood:cry:
