Finished with hauling the wood from a pecan tree yesterday and managed to bring to the log yard a fairly big pecan root burl. The wood part is about 36" in diameter. I took 3 of the photos with it sitting chained to the bucket of the tractor which is a 40 hp. for size reference. Not sure what all I will get out of it when I start cutting into it, but it should be some pretty good looking stuff. Hope so, anyway. With the ground still wet from the rains where this was loaded it was a good trick to pull off, as the tractor kept wanting to slip and slide around a bit. But, eventually hardheadedness won out and it went on the trailer. Just thought you guys and gals might get a kick out of the photos. Yes, the log by the tractor is part of the trunk of that pecan tree.
