My only thought is why such a shallow face cut? Other than that I don't see anything weird. Was it leaning a lot to bore in and out the back?

Nothing terrible, the branch weight was more of a factor than the lean. Majority of the weight was on the far side of the stump. I was unsure how sound the core was based on some serious holes in the top about 15-20 ft up. In the pic it might look like I was less than 1/3 deep with the face but if you drew a circle from the center of the growth rings it would be damn close to 1/3, maybe a little shallow. Its a little desceving because the stump grew a little more out to the bottom right in the second picture...
