    Well done, brother! Those hollow ones can be tricky and totally unpredictable!

    Looks like a big silver maple?

    Now wondering, were those baby coons old enough to survive on their own?

    Yes. It is amazing how young they can be and still survive. However, these did not survive and not many do around here... They are so thick they are pests.

    Well done, brother. Glad you were able to help your neighbor and did it safely.
    Those hollows can be rough. Had a few lately my self. This is one of them, started making first cut, found the nice rock in the hollow 0514200844_HDR.jpg 0514200845_HDR.jpg 0514201010.jpg

    This was another concern. Some people fill hollow spots with concrete. I was able to see down far enough to make me confident I wouldn’t kill a chain.
