The crotch wood is the most figured and the most valuable. Not for lumber but for tables and stuff.
I have the Woodmizer LT40 it will cut 24” width 36” height but you can manipulate that by making a few cuts and that will reduce the size. The draw back to that is if you want live edge.....well then you have to get a little creative.
Big wood is just like big steel.... heavy and rough on fingers and toes. Be careful bro.
Mmmmm crotch wood.....
Yeah I was thinking about how much that first 10' - 12' would weight. I'm not tying it off to my jeep lol definitely getting a machine over here if we do take it down. This would be the only mill I've found that might work...

Is it infected with beetles or healthy?
Healthy. Some dead branches but mostly ones that don't get much light. Or storm damage.
