Hoop Pine Log of 40 cubic metres.

At the moment I am building a large shed to house my sawmill. Yesterday I had delivered the roofing iron for at least part of the shed. I had a bit of a talk to the truck driver and he told me that he used to be a timber cutter and in fact, worked where I worked as well all those years ago and knew some of the people I worked with. He used to cut, hardwood, rainforest, and Hoop Pine. He said that the largest HP he ever cut was an incredible 40 cubic metres! It makes the 3 cubic metre HP I had cut here a couple of weeks ago seem small but at least I planted mine. Yes, as a tree, they can get very big and I intend to grow them quite large as well!! He also said that he had cut a Bunya Pine at 33 cubic metres.
