In Va they just haul them in the trunk of cars up North. The taxs in Va are cheaper than in NY and other northers states.

Holy smokes!

That would take one big Forstner bit.

I have built some really big boring bar systems for some folks but none would do that. To go that deep, the boring bar would have to be almost as big as the hole. Must be some kind of drilling method. Even drilling from both ends would take an impressive drill press. How does the military bore the big guns?? Cleaning up the inside is a different ball game than hollowing it. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your new family, enjoy.

I saw a drill of sorts being used to drill out plugs that would become baseball bats. I think it might have been at the Louisville slugger plant when taking the tour. They had a video of a machine that was drilling these plugs out a log. I have the miniature version for removing broken screws from wood.
