Don,

Last week on another WW forum someone posted a pic of a large tree felled in the early 20th. I wanted to reply to the post with this picture you have posted today. I did a search for largest douglas fir Vancouver but came up empty handed. I remember this one from FWW or Woodwork magazine several years back. Great shot. Felling it was probably the easy part.

Sure did Alex,
I got it from an old copy of FWW a friend found at a yard sale.

My BIL's grandmother's father ran a sawmill, she's around 85. We were unloading some FAS cherry once and she happened buy. My BIL and I were talking about how good the lumber looked. His grandmother stopped and was watching. After a little while she said "daddy would cull lumber like that".
 
Very cool shots :thumb:

I live on Vancouver Island...

Here's some more old logging photo's...
Check out the old logging trucks driving on plank roads :eek: :huh:
