This oak had a woodpecker hole that I inspected. And the good old handsaw measure method showed it was pretty damn hollow. Because it was leaning over a very busy trail in a park next to a school, I decided on the save side and did a heavy reduction on this stem of the tree in stead of just removing dead wood. The other main stem got a mild reduction.
This is just a quick and fun edit. Music by Gramatik.
Disclaimer.. One handed chainsaw operation in the movie.. I don't do or approve operation with one hand, but in some situations I feel safer than rigorously using both hands. In this case I was standing on small branches that I didn't fully trust to hold my weight. So I held on to a branch above myself to reduce the weight on the small branches. we can keep on discussing about do or not do, but this was the decision I made in this situation.
