And this shot I just made a killer score of some birch from a neighbor had a couple small dead trees the wood it very solid. This is not all of it either he still has the rest of the trunks to take down and I guess size wise they have to be in the neighborhood of 6 to 8 inches at the widest point. the trunks are going to be reserved for kuksas but this pic is a ton of future spoonage :D
