The Biggest Yule Log Ever


.

.

.

Years ago, we bought a house to flip and one major project was having 6 pines, 3 HUGE Pin Oaks and some miscellaneous trees cut down.

It was a huge undertaking and we literally spent weeks splitting the oak for our fireplace.  We stored it in that garage and took it home, a couple truck loads daily.  It lasted us about 3 years of burning a nightly fire in the winter months.

The pine was given to people who burn outside fires as it can’t be burned inside.

This one big giant white oak trunk went to my dad, who would dry it out and have the mill cut it into planks.  It took awhile but we did finally jack it up and get it onto the little trailer and pulled it home.

I can assure you we had many people pointing at us, with stunned looks on their faces as they quickly tried to get around us in case that log (which was swaying side to side) slid off!

It sat at home, in our driveway, for a while and it gave us the idea for that years Christmas Card, “Bedrock, 2005 BC”.  Eventually this bad boy made it’s way from Cleveland to Wooster.
