    It almost looks like the bar wasn't big enough and he just kept whittling away at it.

    That's the well known two-toed ballerina cut. Narrow pointed hinge. When it falls in your direction, you run screaming like a little girl... :hair:

    I'm thinking only a short trunk is standing, the rest of the tree was topped off.

    Supposeably they cut down 3 or 4 walnut trees. But the cut caught my eye.....as a "Failed" cut...

    It may only only be so tall but, still that's a scary cut or carving whatever fits...

    How is that thing even standing? It must be topped off right above the pic.

    Not the best place to leave the saw, either.
