unixronin: Ummm....   It's an avatar.  No, not an Airbender or a Na'vi.  Just an avatar. (Hiro-ic)

I cut down a foot-and-a-half-thick, fifty or sixty foot dead tree this morning ... with an axe.  Specifically, the new Fiskars axe that [livejournal.com profile] perspicuity gave me.  It took me maybe half an hour.

(Of course, it must be said that apparently no-one had told the tree how this was supposed to work.  It dropped in the opposite direction to the one I'd planned, towards the back-cut instead of the undercut, and hung up in another tree for several hours before a gust of wind brought it down the rest of the way.)
