Steve- I didn't cut the tree down. I should have put that in the first post. I was cutting at a local park where they have college kids thinning trees. They need to learn how to cut. They leave stacks of firewood on occasion and it ranges fron 6"-30" long in the same pile. Drives me nuts. They also leave punji sticks when cutting saplings and bushes. It's a real hazard area right now. I can cut anything that is down. It's only about a mile from the house, so I don't mind a little resaw time for the convenience. I have been trying to get there when they are working so I can help them learn how to cut, but so far no dice. You should see some of the stumps they leave, it's amazing nobody has died yet. You don't just hand a college kid a saw with no instruction or knowledgeable supervisor.
The effort is appreciated, but they need to get it together.
