After around 8 hours of work (times 2.25 people), the distinguished tree is dismantled. Plenty of firewood for next winter and wood for the solstice fire too!
Black walnut dismantled
Wood piles
Almost as tall as Ame.
Several cords (splitter required)
Solstice wood (several piles like this)
Butt log
Base by the ball (over 36 inches)
An interesting joint.
Tree skeleton.

Good morning walnut tree.
Morning sun peeks over the mountain.
That’s what happens with 40-50MPH winds, soggy ground from 3 inches of rain, and a formidable old tree that had already begun its ultimate lean.
The butt log is several feet in diameter.
From time to time people wonder where the massive solstice fires come from. Wonder no more!
Down to earth.
An ornamental forest pansy redbud is smashed under the crown in the circle—a second victim of the storm.
Adventures in tree removal begin tomorrow. Anybody want to buy the butt log? It has to be worth a few thousand bucks.

Healthy silver maple branches, full of leaves, snap, crackle, pop. The woods all around are roaring with the loss..
