I kept wondering why my friend and myself couldn't move this one in our couple of futile attempts. I decided to try to cut it in half today. It was 5 feet 3 inches, sixteen inches in diameter. I did a bunch of measuring and tore into it Gman style. It turned out pretty good: The most I was off with the saw was less than the width of a chainsaw blade. Since it worked out so well, I am going to do a thick and tapered log tomorrow with the same method I used on this one. Even after cutting these big ones in half, they're still immense. each half weighs about 170 pounds.
