The Egyptian Poplars Chronicles: One tree, huge harvest Raymond Allen Watson, grandson of great timberman Raymond Watson, doesn't think he's as good as forebear, but he got the job done just the same. To fly over the scene on Google Earth, click on MAP of Intersection of Knifley Road and Bull Run Road, Greater Egypt, KY By George Rice There were no big crowds watching, but there was a big event on Saturday, January 29, 2011. Perhaps the greatest moment of the day. It was the harvesting of a great poplar tree, whose time to be harvested arrived. Raymond Allen Watson felled the huge poplar tree on our farm, using a huge 30 inch Stihl chain saw. The tree stump measured 5 feet and the tree measured 90 feet from the stump to the top limbs. Raymond Allen is the Grandson of Raymond and Mary Watson. His Grandfather was a timber cutter himself and as Raymond Allen was cutting the tree he looks up at me and said, "I'm not as good as my Grandpa cutting trees but I'm trying," and about that time the tree fell.
