This used to be the largest of the beech on one of our timber tracts. There is more than 500 bdft in the trunk up to the first limb. It's a monster. I hate beech as they are worthless and shade out a lot of real estate that a good timber tree might occupy. The loss is a mixed blessing. It fell across a logging road and obliterated a key access trail we used for hunting. It will be a job to whack passage through it. It is too far from a road to retrieve for firewood.
