Is this tree big or what?

My personal favorite big tree is the Live Oak. No discusion of historic, large, or otherwise significant trees would be complete without paying respect to this species. This is a link to the Live Oak Society. Please visit and enjoy.

Here's a New England Sugar Maple that saw its last life due to disease and road salt. The saw in the picture has a 28 inch bar on it.

A slab off of that tree would sure make a nice tabletop.

The center of the tree is rotted and full of dirt. By the time I got to that point I wanted this tree gone.

We were in Calaveras Big Trees park last weekend; have been there a few times the last couple of years. The giant sequoia is HUGE. Awe inspiring. There are even bigger trees in Kings Canyon; I want to go there next.

Make sure your brakes are in tip top shape, that is a long, slow decent into the canyon.

I'll take some pics this weekend. I've got some really nice yellow poplar on my land. Been meaning to snap some pics for awhile.
