And Harry, any hints on building one of those large frame saws? What did you use for the blade?

Matt,

When you get tired and decide to get ahold of someone with a Woodmizer, be prepared when he asked if it is an urban/yard tree.
As alot have nails, wire, barbed wire and who knows, some sawyers are reluctant to cut them unles you agree to pay for new blades if'n it finds some foreign objects and does damage.

Yes,any trees that grew near a house are liable to have nearly anything up to horse shoes imbedded in them. I had to chainsaw a 3' dia. hickory log lengthwise. It had barbed wire in it,since as a young,small tree,it had been the corner post of a pasture!! That was no fun.
