Thanks for the further photos, I'm really enjoying them.

If I was to guess on the root ball burning, I'd guess it was similar to a manure pile that can smolder enough to turn to ash on the inside. That's a guess, but it could have been the right combo of moisture and root/combustible material?

Pair I did from cold ground Simmonds D2 planer blades from the saw mill that used to be just down the road from us.
