So, after my Dr appt I went to work. Got off at 5pm. Picked up thr kids and came home. Feed/watered the animals and rememberd there was a tree with the top blown out behind the chicken coup. I went to investigate. It looks like a hard maple, and great firewood. I dont like the standing trunk cause it is close enough to hit the fence for the chickens. Off to get the 361. I cut the top up into approx 20" pieces. I gave the trunk a look. It looked to fall out in the wooks. Perfect i thought...i cut a face cut pretty deep. Looked good. Came around to the back side, gave a look, i usually mark the ends of the face cut so i make sure i am on top for the back cut, but kinda in a hurry, i gave it a look and went to cutting. Just as i got to the hendge, the tree rocked slightly backwards, and i panicked. I pushed and it leaned forward but stoped. Thinking fast, i grabed the face cut wedge and stuck it in the back cut and drove it in with a stick. I finished the back cut but the tree wouldnt budge. After a closer look, i missed the back cut on the off side completely! I drove wedges in but she is still standing. Any thoughs how ti save this poor back cut?
