    Here’s one from a few years ago. I need to take more pics than I do. I took another pic of a red oak about the same time that I’m sure is in one of my other posts where the middle of my hinge pulled fibers out the end of the log that were at least a couple feet long if I remember correctly. Amazing the forces that we contend with when cutting wood! 1148D417-33C1-4BF1-A2AB-97F686C9F9E8.jpeg

    I have a few dead trees split and leaning that I thought about cutting down. I'll let Mother Nature take care of them after seeing your picture.

    Nothing wrong with that stump. You do what you have to and work with what you've got.

    Here’s one of mine. Cut this Birch for a neighbor after a snowstorm. It had snapped part of the way up, so it was a bit of a challenge to cut. Not proud of the stump. But as someone who loves pizza, I’m proud of that part of the stump…

    A friend gave us 2 post oak trees he let another guy the "needed" some money cut down. He was lucky. The big tree he tried pulling with a rope, which broke, tree fell opposite the notch cut, butt end kicked back way past stump... 0515231216.jpg
    The top of the tree hit the front of the Chevy stepside in the background.
    2 sides of the big stump...

    The stump from the smaller oak he cut...:picard::picard: 0515231652.jpg
    Looks like an angry beaver was on it...
    My friend said that guy would definitely not be back.
