How about sell it for lumber and send the proceeds to the treasury.

I say, bore a big ol’hole in it and make it a natural bridge/tunnel that people can just stroll through.

Make some steps, a tunnel, some nice planks and burn the rest in the wood stove.

Take lateral slices and analyze for climate change and carbon content over the course of the ages.
And check to see if King Arthur and the Knights get a decent burial, since this tree witnessed their lives.
Oh, and change that sign from "100 Giants" to "99 Giants", pronto.

That way people can stop and count the rings.

Make some REAL money by selling to the public one inch square pieces sealed in Lucite. The liberal weinies especially the greens will pay plenty. All money goes t the trsury for debt reduction.
To: Cincinatus' Wife
They would call this "lumber" in a rational world.

The giant sequoia lies across the popular Trail of 100 Giants at Sequoia National Forest, Calif. Let's form a drum circle, hold hands, and weep for Mother Gaia's lost child.

...and use the wood to make a table and chairs and sell it for a million dollars.

Only the federal govt could dither and wring their hands over a dead tree.

Cut it up but not just for lumber. Sell it online at auctions and in tourist shops as a piece of natural history. Proceeds go to reducing our debt.
Some pieces could be made into furniture or other items and because of the historic value priced accordingly.
