That log was a recent blow over. The same area had a whole bunch of dead ash in various stages of decay that the town cut down . They neatly staged them roadside. Friend of mine living near there told me about it. I talked to the tree company and only had a few days before they came and took the logs so couldn't get any of them.

That trunk is laying on rocks so gonna be tricky to cut.

I've read many of your threads before I joined. I'm sure you can get it done. Hopefully that can't hook can help keep you out of the rocks. Good luck!

Now that I think about it, I think I remember that one of his best friends was killed by an ash tree he was cutting. They definitely warrant respect!

Thanks! My buddy has 10 acres and doesn't burn. It is nice cutting out there in the winter. It gets muddy in the spring. Then when things dry out, I will drive my F350 out there. Then it is time to split and stack.

This is what happens when I get impatient.
