    Maybe a third cord? And a nice pile of chipper food for always needed wood chips.

    Here's the bottom side of the trunk and just goes to show how a little side cut makes for a clean break of the hinge. I side cut one side and not the other if you can tell :D

    Right :)
    There was a huge willow in the neighbor's yard when I was growing up, lotsa crap blowing in our yard , they didn't like us kids swinging on it to much , great neighbor's though .
    Eventually it split and knocked my folks power out for a week
