When I was clearing a trail in this area about two weeks ago I noticed this beech that had part of the top break off and was starting to rot, so today I decided to drop it. Looking at the tree from the back you could tell it was starting to rot so I cleared my escape routes then made my notch and back cut. When it started to go I was out of there, everything went perfect and we have some nice beech.
Picture 2513 is the top broken off and rotting, 2514 & 2515 is before and after,2516 is the stump,2517 & 2516 are the first three rounds off the stump and 2519 is the beech heading home.
