Largest I've seen here was about 6 n 1/2 inches, would still consider that small, as I guess some in more inaccessible places are much bigger, and that we don't get to see them.

We got about half the crown out, and were going to begin rigging off that Y on the right side limb. That one, however, was lower than the limbs we were rigging, which meant they would release and crash into the trees below and get hung up.

The choice was everyone take a breather and TM chunk out the big limb in the way.

Here's some of that:

Here the work was getting really interesting, cutting big pieces with pretty much a horizontal rigging line.

Big pendulous swings.

Whoosh!

I think this is the last limb. The rig was set. Once the cut was made, the limb would have to swing around the limb I'm on, and then make the gigantic pendulum trip across

This one was going bigger than I normally would doing a solo aerial rig/cut/lower, but we were just on a roll.
