I cut a the major half of a scabby looking 50ft cherry tree down in my tiny backyard today. It had to fall just right to not destroy anything. It landed about 5 degrees off target an did no damage. It might have been a crazy thing for me to do but it worked out.

After I process the fallen half into fire wood and garbage I'll knock the easy half down.

Good fun!

That's a big job. I actually enjoy cutting down trees but this was definitely a job for the pros. Good work on the aim. Measure 50 times. Cut once. Good old fashioned dirty work.

I had a good day last fall helping a friend cut the slabs for a table he is building this summer. My first time using a chainsaw mill:
