Glass in damaged tree to be removed. Thoughts?

I know, I know.

I think I'll just cut it like a dirty stump, short bar pulling stuff out of the kerf, not reaching the far side, then change sides.

Could just take a sharp axe to the damaged side prior to the saw. I do that with dirty trees a lot. Chip off the dirty stuff.

20+ SQ feet., No bark.

Chipping in a slope, chained truck to chipper, particularly since most brush was machine-fed.

Left a 6' stump as a barrier, and pedestal for a chainsaw carving.

Logs will become my fence, deck, and/ or Dahlia's treehouse/ clubhouse.

Popped off a 12' log into the crash pad.

Straight 36' log broke at driveway grade-change, where it steepened. Could have popped another log off. Could, woulda, shoulda.
Had it been a ground level cut, I would have padded stronger at the top, less at the base.



The cabover movers truck was perched on the retaining wall. When pulled onto all for wheels, it was driven back up the driveway, where it was loaded on the wrecker.

Where it not to have had the tree, it works have been way down the hill, into Puget Sound.

The house to the right is on a lot only 57' wide, as it used to be a logging road down to the water for offloading. In the 1930s, the land was sold, once logged and need for that access was done.

My customer had lived in that house over 70 years.

Boom whack a boom. All done.

Mini killed it on that job.
Moved the branch pass into place, then into the chipper.

I could sorta barely load the 10' butt log. There next 12' log up, much easier.
