Something for you to calculate while the turkey is digesting…

I have never seen trees this big around, would love to some day!

Estimate the size by looking at the height of the man… could use a truckload at my place.

Baobab trees. I don’t think the wood is any great shakes but at least there’s no knots.

Try quartering that with a glut and maul.

If the wood was right you could probably build a small house and the furniture inside of it.
