I just wanted to send in a few pics to explain why you should always have someone teach you the proper procedures in sectioning down trees. This happedned back in November of 2005. I thought i had sense enough to do it without any advice. Well, on the first tree I ever sectioned down, i was about 35 feet up and cut to far through the stem too fast and when the saw got to the other side, the butt cut knocked the saw down into my knee. Needless to say, i didn't look at the cut until 3.5 hrs later when i finished the job!! It wasn't too bad, but it definitely scared me into thinking and learning proper procedures!!
