I've just sent you a pm

looks like a beast...

 

any shots of the wood inside?

 

in my opinion a tree that wide should be quarter milled as it will make some nice quartersawn boards.

 

Trying to get some shots of the but. As soon as I get some Ill post them

Why was it being felled in the first place?

 

No one ever mentions it - disease, dangerous etc?

 

Also, for every tree felled, how many are planted to replace it / them...???

 

Hi,

 

good point.

 

it was felled as the Tomograph was showing hollow at base. not sure how far up the trunk it goes, as soon as I can get back up there I'll get a better look and measure how far up it goes and report back on here.

A couple more photos of the beast.

I would be interested in some of the limbs for firewood if there is any left. I am only in Andover .
