Nice job. I see a winters worth of firewood.

I find that most people who think a tree is dying don't have a clue. The owner of a funeral home in my town cut a 30" ash and told me it was dying. That tree was probably the healthiest ash I've ever seen. This beech here looks OLD you can tell by the huge size and high percentage of dead weight. I don't know why the saw operator yo-yos the throttle so much either.

@transdrole

ermm are you suggesting this tree wasn't dying?  also what do you mean by yoyo 'ing the throttle?

[perkerfrans]

a shame it is filmed with such a poor camera performance

[stevebullman]

@perkerfrans

agreed....wish i could afford to pay a pro to get some footage one day

Why was this beautiful tree felled?

[stevebullman]

the tree was dying. you need only look at how some of those limbs were shattering as they landed to see how brittle the structure had become.

Great climbing, such a nice flow to it all. Loved at 3.45 when the branch shattered on the way down. Good job.
