Walking through a srub field of downed trees the other day I came across a large oak with a burled growth on the side of the truck. The growth is approximately five feet in circumferance and as much as two feet deep in sections. I'm looking for sugestions on how to cut the growth out of, or off, the trunk? The tree is already down, so there is no worry about harming the tree, and the trunk is probably 8 to 10 feet around. Any ideas?

Chainsaw... carefully.
HTH,
A large chain saw, a big HD pick up, and four strong men and a boy comes to mind.

Good story, aint read that one in a long while.
Uhh... what is the boy for? Entertainment for the four strong men who have spent too much time carting around large, imaginary burls?

someone has to carry the lunches and hold the coffee cups.
OK. I've got all that covered, except the boy. I guess it wouldn't hurt to bring a come-along as well...
