Picture of me standing next to a couple of Redwoods I just fell.

Picture of a Redwood that split in two when it hit the ground. Notice the fire scar.Also, you can see that the but split in half on impact. This was a lucky break, as we would have had to rip the log in half as it was to big for the loader.

This is the same log on the landing. Gives you a little better idea of the size of the tree.

A different view of the same tree.I forget to mention that this tree was a double, we call it a "School Marm". That means that the tree forks a few feet above the stump and forms two or more trees. I will show you another picture that shows this a little better.

This is me in front of the second cut of a large Redwood. That means you are looking at the diameter of the tree 45' from the butt. On the back of the picture it says that the tree has 25,000 bf. ft. of lumber.

This picture show the use of "gun sticks". This is one of the methods used to aim a tree.

Gilbert Coleman and Joe Lawson are pictured.

Gilbert, bucking the tree in the picture above.

This is a picture of a "School Marm". See how the tree branches into to two trees?

This tree was right next to the tree above.

This shows the same trees in the above 2 pictures, plus a couple more. Where the trees first cross the road measures about 200 feet. The butts of the trees are down a steep bank near a creek.

 These two pictures show Gilbert falling a large Douglas Fir tree.
