 BZX15.jpg Work on fallen timber has extra hazards; inconvenient positions, crumbling stone wall and unstable tree. (taken 25.2.2014) courtesy of Piotr and Dave  BZX16.jpg A slab taken from where Piotr is working, perhaps 15-20 feet from the tree's root, was counted with 100 rings. (taken 25.2.2014) courtesy of Piotr and Dave  BZX17.jpg Chainsaws get stuck. (taken 25.2.2014) courtesy of Piotr and Dave  BZX18.jpg Dave hauling, to try and release the saw.

Side branches are sprung against the ground, not always simple to cut away. They are
a hazard when moving or standing. |

A lying trunk may be supported at its ends, so cutting it is difficult. |

Lengths of tree on the ground are sliced up, work from the top, roll it over, and
complete the cuts. The trunk here is wedged against rolling by a large stone - plenty
of those lying around from the fallen wall. |

The trunk over the wall is particulary risky; is the wall stable? how is the trunk
balanced? |
