For sure that tree was a disaster waiting to happen. Hemmed in by the street and sidewalk and just a monster tree. Surprised it was still standing. Probably cost a few bucks to get that down unless the city was taking care of it. That guy can sure use a chain saw for sure. Chuck Norris would have done it with a hand saw and no crane.

That tree cost 25 to 30 grand to take down ........ If that is the largest tree in the town then some of that wood should go the sawmill to make lumber and some furniture for the Mayors office LOL.....

Actually some wood sculptures should get some and make some local history stuff from it ............ Furniture is a great idea from a tree that old, the wood grain is so tight on that it's a stable wood for sure.......

I could make some nice Outhouses with that also LOL..............

Pretty sure that saw hand doesn't make minimum wage. That was one heck of a tree. Glad to see people had the chance to make something from it.

Well Pumper, back in the ol days, the settlers / pioneers used the trees for building homes, fences, furniture, wagons, water troughs, railroad ties, barrels, bowls, firewood, and lots of other goods, I believe the better grades of hardwoods grew mainly in the big North-West territory .. Oregon, Washington, and Northern Calif. Yeah that "tree-monkey" sure knew his stuff, in fact the whole crew worked in unison, ( damn well better, somebody could get killed very easily, ) nice to watch the pro's do a really good kick-arse job .. Ehhh ..?? ..:thumbsup:..:thumbsup:

Great video. That thing was a beast for sure.

Only one part where a guy on the ground was underneath a huge section of the tree as it was being laid down made me nervous. He sure had a lot of trust in the crane and the rigging.
