I had an ash firewood tree that wanted "revenge" this season. It was about 20" on a straight stump. It grew in an arch, almost horizontal about 20' up into canopy, and then had a spike about 6" diamiter that grew another 20' vertically, up into the canopy of the woods. The saw pinched imediatly as I tried a fore cut. Releived it a bit with the tip of the bar, and then cut in the sides a bit with the tip of bar. I knew it would "Barber Chair" which it did up to about 15' off the stump. It split twice and pinched my saw on the second split and pinched my saw a bit, delaying my retreat. It took some strange twists and ended up with the butt resting on my leg, just above the knee. I was able to pull my leg out from under it, but it further agrivated a previous leg injury from my school days. Pretty well back to normal weather related aches and pains in the leg now.
Just one of the hazzards of working in the woods alone, but both my dad who died from other causes, and I have done it for years and haven't either of us been killed by a tree. You need to be smarter than a tree!! Loren
