Got me a sweet piece of Old southern live oak yesterday.
City was removing a tree with disease and I able to grab this limb from the pile.
Took forever and I didn't have the tools so I had to go get my trailer and a cone along and straps but we finally got it. Weighs about 600 lbs. 18" across.
This is from a southern live oak tree from Savannah that is most likely 175-200 years old.
The tree is about five feet across in diameter neck high. The spread is probably 60ft at least.
Sad to see it go and I wish I had the tools to get a table sized cross cut from the trunk. But this should make for some nice boards though.
