High winds forecast tonight. This White Pine had a slight lean towards the house. It was just last year another one hit the house in a storm. Today was the day this one had to go. I pulled a rookie move and stuck a bar and chain on the release cut. I should have plunge cut it but didn't because I had a rope on it and it was leaning. Then I had to start again on the release cut like a dummy. It came down exactly where I wanted it to.
Well its on the ground and youre in one piece which is most important Glad it came down where you wanted it.
I ended up getting several nice logs out of it that will mill up nicely. Good chance last nights wind would have brought it down.
