That was the one we cut up last year and that is just the top. Storm took the whole top out. One limb over 4 ft and the other was over 3ft and that was 25 ft in the air where it broke. Trunk, 4ft up, was over 5 ft and notice the scale next to the truck.
We finished the trunk this year and used the backhoe to get it in the splitter as it was a tuogh one(wavy grain) Tree yielded over 12 cord and was probably around 400 years old. Hated to see it go down as it was the biggest I've seen.
