if I'll drop this damaged Cherry, in picture 9655 you can see the damaged top and in picture 9656 you can see the trunk.
I leave things like that top alone. The term 'widow maker' comes to mind. It's just not worth getting it on your head as it goes over.
ya, I'm thinkin' he'll go for it....maybe notch it, back cut, and pull it over with a chain/comealong looks like a nasty mangled mess of crap up top there, you sure there ain't a bear up in that mess somewhere?
We'll see if Mother Nature can bring it down, I have some other Cherry that needs some Stihl attention, if I can get this Cherry (not the one pictured) then that will be enough Cherry for this year. I'm hoping I can get enough Cherry to replace what we'll burn this year, things are coming together nice.
