Timber!

Deerwood owner - mom - asked me to fall (cut down) a maple tree which had recently lost a large limb and was a hazard to her house. The tree's Diameter at Breast Height (DBH) was 17". I believe that's just over 1,000 board feet of wood.

I had some time on the morning of the 15th to fall and cut most of the tree before heading out to help reshingle Dave and Karen's roof in Burk's Falls.

Here's a series of photos showing the falling and cutting of the tree and limbs for winter fuelwood.

The Stihl 08 was used.

A lucky fall - right where I wanted it.
